Cashin’ a Newacheck: Happy Gilmore 2 (opens the original)
Read excerpt
As we all count down the hotly anticipated release of Grown Ups 3 in H1 ‘27, today we explore the sequel to the adored 1996 comedy classic Happy Gilmore, Happy Gilmore 2, directed by Kyle Newacheck ( Workaholics ). This cinematic project could be considered the artful packaging of a financial transaction between 200 brands and personalities. It could be considered a rather cynical and lazy successor to a film that was responsible for making Adam Sandler a breakout hit, and household name. It cou
28: Milk Bar (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Tim and Guy are reunited after two weeks apart from each other and the Fast Franchise. Tim has been watching Fast and Furious 6 in increments, while riding a bike around Auckland. Guy has been watching it while archiving his favourite t-shirts for future use. It would be fair to say the movie is not being given the respect it deserves. The fellaz dig into American conversational technique (again???), the modern price of t-shirts, new rules for old underwear and the origins of The Rock. Hosted on

Read excerpt
The boiz are at the beach because it may be NZ Winter, but it’s also NZ sunny today.

Diggin Dennis Dugan: Problem Child (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The time is now to visit (in many ways) the origin point of the entire 15 year Worst Idea project. Dennis Dugan’s directorial debut is Problem Child - a 1990 movie which itself is fairly problematic. Beyond the liberal use of the R word and a B-plot involving a serial killer (played by Michael Richards - famously the only unproblematic figure in comedy) being the 8-year-old protagonist’s hero, this movie just plain seems to hate human beings. On the other hand, it is the genesis of the Vibes-bas
Family Friends 02 (opens the original)
Read excerpt
In this incredible Family Friends episode, Guy spends 10 full minutes explaining a fascinating situation involving the English national test cricket team absolutely ruining themselves. On our way to this, we get Tim waxing lyric on the benefits of having a big ass kindle thing you can write on and what’s wrong with Philip K Dick’s Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep. And also Oppenheimer. But mainly this is about the cricket story. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
