Episode 148. Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith

Baaa baaaa, ba-ba-ba-baaaaaaaa-baaaaaaa, ba-ba-ba-BAAAAAAAA-BAAAAAAAA, ba-ba-ba-BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH HUMBUG. In anticipation of The Rise of Skywalker the Pauls turn their positive butts over to painstakingly pointing out every way in which Revenge of the Sith is not a good film, highlighting completely by accident the good things about it too. What a success those positive Pauls have made here! I'm glad all of you were here to see it. Featuring: a murderous sociopath that's not who you think, droi...

Episode 147. Knock Knock

Who's there? The strangest decision Keanu Reeves has ever allowed to be captured on film. The Pauls throw caution to the wind and have a saucy threesome with Eli Roth only to find themselves players in a dangerous(ly dated) game of sex and death. Can they resist Roth's cinematic curves and save their relationship with their loving wife, Jem and the Holograms? Or will they end up buried in the garden? Featuring: a bold innovation in poetry, the 1970s, terrible ubers, a life plan for the millenial...

Episode 143. Land of the Lost (feat. 2/4 of Baby Beard)

Wassup OGTeam, you absolute suckers? Have you ever wondered what it would be like if your favourite two podcasters from OGT and two other douchebags from Baby Beard Media decide to meet up in Melbourne, get no sleep, drink some whiskey and share a mic so all those coughs and sneezes and sibilants are snagged in the audio like so many dolphins in a really effective tuna net? Well they bloody did it, and they decided to watch Land of the Lost starring Will Ferrel and Anna Friel to commemorate the ...

Episode 141. Friday the 13th - The One Spooky Thing

Happy Halloween! Calling all Jeggheads and Vorefans (oh, wait): one Paul managed to blackmail the other into watching ten identical movies over the course of a year and then discussing each and every one as though they are in any way distinguishable - guess which one! To be fair, it's seven identical movies and three weird ones, and we're not going to go any deeper than that otherwise we'll be reducing Jasons down to the point of a pin, and then we're no better than the bloody monks. Strap on yo...

Episode 140. Joshing 'bout JFK

It's another ten episode! But you didn't hear that from us. The CIA, FBI, AFK, mafia, gay mafia, gay CIA, prime minister of Belgium and your mum have all gotten together to manipulate the Pauls into discussing one of the most critically acclaimed divisive movies ever. Will the pauls be able to cling on to their already thin premise for long enough to thoroughly debunk this classic thriller and then say they like it, like twats might. Listen or don't. Featuring: way too much actual information fo...

Episode 139. Men in Black International

The boys are back in black...pool. It doesn't come up in the episode though because we're too busy talking about this crazy buddy cop movie to be distracted by the last operational steeplechase rollercoaster in the world. Gotta concentrate on Thessa Thompson and her larks! So buckle up, visit Blackpool and enjoy this episode. Featuring: the Haitch word, lesser Spielbergs, some rapid cumin's, the fastest fourman in OGT history, and two tired boys who are humanities only defense against the scum o...

Episode 137. Hellboy (2019)

Coming at you live through Goodman's grandad's gramophone: it's episode 137 of gay old time podcast The One Good Thing! Those crazy Pauls have one of those new fangled filmathons to hand, with their loud music and Super Mario's Party. Hellboy is the name, recycling and depreciating quality earlier work is its game. Let's just hope they take it down like anyone would to something born post-1970. Quickly and loudly. Sorry about my mic. It's a-crackling but take solace in the fact that it's not you...

Episode 136. The One Good Thing About Action

Hey you! Think you know your action like the Pauls know action? They’ve seen more action than you’ve had hot dinners mate, and not necessarily regarding but also not limited to sex and war, in case anyone cool is asking. They’ve seen, done and been it all, and what's more they don’t like to brag about it. So go think about that before you embarrass yourself. So while they’re not doing any of that, and YOU’RE not doing any of that, all that’s left is for them to talk about their top ten action mo...

Episode 135. Fire Maidens from Outer Space

These fire maidens are outta sight! But also in this movie that the Pauls will watch because it's a history hole episode! And the hole has been most generous this time, bringing a 50s cigarette style adventure that's bound to have them all creased up, see? Featuring: A welcome return for the workmen of Australia, the worst kind of literary primary school, Neil Breen's amazon review, perverts in space, and some sexy space dancing.

Episode 132. Mr. Nanny

Calling all real Americans and real pain for my sham Americans: HULK SMASH…ed his way into Hollywood on the bicepped arms of Mr. Nanny and, much like the light of the sun has to travel the hundreds of millions of miles to Earth, the Paulboys only now feel the manly meaty punch of Terry “the Hulk “The Hulk”” Hogan, and are pleasantly surprised to find that it doesn’t just keep repeatedly punching them while they’re down. So crank it up! Featuring: The/a Hulk, #canvaslife, Dadley Moore, the only H...

Episode 130. Noting Not Another Teen Movie

We did it! We made it through another ten god damn episodes. Time to celebrate by turning to a much maligned film that one of the Pauls has a soft (?) spot for. See if you can spot which one. It's the sexy comedy about sexy comedies, but will the other Paul's heart be won over by the homely dame, or will he turn out to be Sarah Michelle Gellar. Awful. Tune in to find out! Featuring: Idris Elba's crazy emporium of wacky characters, lots of depth for the Pauls to be out of, some political insights...

Episode 129. The Happytime Murders

The Pauls are back and sleepy! Watch as their sleep-deprived minds try to recall the intricacies of a nonsensical plot that no one was intended to care about. Hear their willingness to talk seriously about this movie ebb away before your ears! It's the maddening spectacle of two men watching pornographic puppets. Listen if you dare! Featuring: our thoughts on the most important trailer of the year, a puppet dynasty, gooch yawns, smut, Emma Watson's mocap mishaps, muppet drugs, a cow having its t...

Episode 128. Baywatch

The Pauls haven't had much luck at the beach in the past. They've had runs with Surf Ninjas, knock off Bodhis and the end of Gigli. Also they're so pale you can see their hearts in direct sunlight like a weird fish. But the sun is out (in one of their countries) so it's time to pull up those thongs and go to town. It's the baywatch remake! Featuring: stunning awareness of the geography of the British Isles, Pamela Anderson 2: Neil Breen, a meal fit for a Travers, Zayfron, naughty words, tumescen...

Episode 126. Even More Things You Might Have Missed

It's out longest title yet and probably the longest time we've spent before actually talking about the thing we came to talk about. It's another round of excellent movies those condescending pricks think you might have missed in your busy, busy life. So drop that overpriced fruit drink, stop dancing for five seconds and listen to all the best ways you could be silently staring at a screen. Featuring: a lot of clips in languages you don't know (probably), Paul's near near-death experience, a very...

YARGH! Look out peasants and women minding their own business. It's a time of plunder and rrrrrapine!

Also, they're gonna watch 1956's radioactive misstep, The Conqueror. Featuring: John Wayne as a Mongolian warlord (seriously), some excellent voice work all around, decidedly unafraid children, yet another jingle, Stinky McShitface (tm), a sticky p...

There's a man. He walks alone in the desert. He has an important message for us all. He speaks in a strange manner, but he communes with tigers and he looks like a weird composite effect. His name is Phil Harker-Smith! And he's on this weeks episode of One Good Thing to talk about a Neil Breen Movie. Breen is one of the most unique and hilariously bizarre directors working today.

It's the third entry into the sometimes known Sharknado franchise, the second the Pauls have wolfed down on the podcast. Will this finally be the one to convince the Pauls these are camp classics and cult films in the making? Or will they just be dicks about it. Let's find out! Featuring: Us being dicks a...
