Oh hey there. We're your new neighbours, Pauls. We were just fixing a few things whilst reciting our favourite macho epic poem, The Iliad, featuring ja boi Achilles. Perhaps we can come over tonight and slide our meaty dogs between your floury buns. What's that? You're busy tonight?! We'll follow you to the ends of the earth to avenge this slight! We hope you drive one of the cars we have blueprints for, dick. Well instead of giving you the privilege of our private length, here's us talking abou...

Happy 90th everyone! You're all 90 now (Sorry about that) so come listen to us loudly defend The Shadow 1994. The guy who made Highlander 2 struck gold again with this psychic superhero, played actorly by Alan Baldwin (or something). It's like Batman 89 meets legally mandated changes to the script to make it less like Batman 89. Who knows what comedy lies in the heart of a 90s blockbuster flop? The Pauls might. Featuring: Tim Curry The Cartoon Reptile, ageless composite effects, Raymond's Dad, s...

Wow. I mean, Woah. The Pauls don their gaudy winter coats and follow Canoe Reeves to the desolate wastes of Siberia, a region that consists of a cafe and a shed. After a harrowing yet strangely rewarding sexual experience with a Russian Diamond Smuggler, the OGTboys talked about a dry crime thriller... and disagreed! Slightly. Featuring: The Very Lonely Planet, desperate wikipediaing, Molly Ringwald briefly, an exciting new segment, 50% passionate sex, Pee-otor, Sweary Keanu, Paul Salt's guide t...

Get this up your Harry Hole! The Pauls watch brilliant director Thomas Alfredson's adaptation of Jo Nesbo's popular crime novel starring everyone you've ever loved or feared. It's a big frosty flop, and the Pauls are here to find out who meticulously cut this into chunks and stuck it's head onto a comical snowman. We reckon it was Tommy Time Constraints. Find out, twists abound! Featuring: Li'l Holes, a self obsessed Gainsbourg, cutting edge technology with little flappy bits, liberal compacency...

You know how the Pauls talk about films and occasionally also other things? Well this is that! They talk all things literature, why, how, when and why again, including recounting their top ten books of all time AND doing a special never-ever-ever-again mini one good thing episode on Fifty Shades of Grey the book! Never ever again! One Paul wanted you all to know that he almost forgot to describe the books he recommended, but actually didn't. That and more in this episode of One Good Thing! Featu...

Those bold and dynamic Pauls regale you with bawdy tales from their adventures in Cinema! Why should you go to the cinema? You've got a lovely lounge/living room/bus station to watch movies in. Why go to the effort? The Pauls will tell you! Also, one of them bangs on about Christopher Nolan, and the other Gaspar Noe so it's a fairly standard episode. Featuring: straw tapping, phone checking, bass thumping, leg jigging, heart rending, head turning, inappropriate snickering fun and 26 new chinese ...

It's a musical with Burt Reynolds. Look, just give it a go! We explain the plot carefully, there's lots of jokes, there's actually a sweet tribute to Reynolds, you'll be fine! Honest. Don't worry. Also, one of us has seen Blazing Saddles more than the other. See if you can spot which one. Featuring: film criticism in the reign of Caligula, From Hell 2: Another Surgeon, a horsey ex-model, Rodney Ronald and Donald, Johnny Fucking Spanish, far too much singing, a genuine class act and Michael Caine...

A very special penguin found the most beautiful pebble in the world and brought it to the two Pauls to see if they would accept it. They took turns sitting on it for a week and out popped this podcast! Featuring: Not Don Bluth, every inch of Tim Curry, nerds, a surprising number of references to Gaspar Noe (i.e. any at all), Approximately Gilbert Gottfried, more from Paul's Kitchen, some challenging audio levels and a deeply sick Paul. Guess which one! It's the dead one. ogtpod@gmail.com https:/...

A new kind of crime demands a new kind of hero. A hero who is seven feet tall, 200 lbs and can seamlessly vanish into the night. A hero who will abduct any disabled woman he damn well feels like. A hero who will speak gently around soufflés and will eat the hot dog, not be one. The Pauls know of such a hero. Free throws desirable but not required. Featuring: Shaq, Shaft, Sparks, kidnapping etiquette, the bassiest voice ever, the birth of the internet and some sugar. ogtpod@gmail.com https://ogtp...

Are you having trouble sleeping? Well no need to participate in a crazy Liam Neeson Style Study, Jan De Bont has you covered! Can the Pauls survive a trip around the Director of Twister's spooky manor? Will they hear all of Owen Wilson's Wows over the sound of Robert Wise spinning in his grave? Find out all of this and more! Right here on One Good Things. Featuring: two zelda references, rats in a maze, a spooky fist, hilarious dead children, Sarah Jessica Parker, the worst poker face in the wor...

The Pauls undertake a long and arduous trip through the desert wearing nothing but the entire Versace Summer Collection. Are our favourite gal pals waiting with anticipation on the other side? Or have they all fucked off to be replaced by grotesque caricatures of womanhood? Settle in everyone, as the two Pauls try to express all of their thoughts about Sex and the City 2 in under 90 minutes. And they haven't even packed yet! Featuring: Wealth, Michael Pichael Paulie Posey, Dick Spurt, Kim Cattra...

You didn't ask for it and we didn't listen to you! It's another ten episode, which means one of the bloody Pauls has to defend a film. As no one in the world has ever seen Kurt Wimmer's Equilibrium we thought we could get away with this one together. Featuring: a real offence to sense, a total weapon, a super bad liar, a whole room full of bad liars, some party boy action and Taye Diggs. ogtpod@gmail.com https://ogtpod.podbean.com https://facebook.com/ogtpod https://twitter.com/ogtpod Jingles fr...

This week the workmen in Paul G's attic use a 3/16 inch bit to drill holes into the corrugated iron roofing panels before dragging them over the purlins that have already been attached to the trusses. Once they've screwed those down with some #10X2-inch screws with polycarbonate washers that'll be a lovely job. Meanwhile, the Pauls try to discuss Norbit, a crap film. Featuring: hammers, mostly. ogtpod@gmail.com https://ogtpod.podbean.com https://facebook.com/ogtpod https://twitter.com/ogtpod Jin...

oooooOOOOOooooo, it's time for some spooky ghosts! But on Mars?!!! Only one man could have concieved of such a mad premise. And that man made The Thing once. No time for that though. Ghosts of Mars! Featuring: Jason Statham's "fuck me" eyes and pleas, The Ice Cube Bounce, Natasha Henstridge, nu metal, aaa kaa kaa gaar gaar gaaaar, Pam Grier (just about) and a matriarchy!

Have you heard of music? It's big. Get the scoop at One Good Thing as we discuss why music is so hard to talk about and then spend over an hour talking about it! We also try to recommend some music to each other to take us out of our already puny comfort zones. Featuring: Ariana Grande and the unlimited Greggs adventure, farty George Ezra, teen heart-throbs Portishead, Pingu, The Decline and Fall of the Nu Metal Empire, doge, and my various failed German experiments. Listen to it! You'll feel mi...

We've got something very different for you this week, OGTeam! The Pauls each have to defend a terrible disaster movie for the pleasure of a panel of judges to decide which movie about a giant asteroid squishing the earth is the least rubbish. The Panel members are the oft mentioned Nell, OGT artist Sara, and JENNY! (an actual one this time). Featuring: Jason Statham, Richard Schiff (and don't you forget it!), a dog that definately should have died, a beautiful young couple who definately should ...

Enter into the Paul's Castle and experience the ultimate experience in ultimate horror experience, yes? Witness the twisted perversion of two grown men genuinely enjoying a campy horror film from the sixties IF YOU DARE!!! Featuring: John Carradine, David Carradine, Paul Carradine, Horror Carradine, Liz Carradine, Carradine Carradine, and more Toucans than you could wave a Carradine at. I think you'll enjoy this vintage. Bottoms up!

Whilst one Paul’s away, the other will play…you a new episode of the One Quick Thing! This week the petulant Pauls peruse the people puppets and find Cameron Mitchell in an eye patch. Somebody’s kidnapping young stars and encasing them in wax, only not quite. Will two inept coppers be able to stitch ‘im up before he works his way up to the S Club? Only time and this podcast to tell, and this podcast is easier to fill your commute with. Featuring: betassled breasts, Tony Dean, shiny melt face, th...

Once a year the Pauls insinuate their way into your living space and begin shouting film recommendations at you. The Mayans tried to stop it, as did Nicholas Cage. But they failed and now the time has come. Listen as they bravely attempt to convince you to watch some of the best and weirdest films they've experienced in the last few months, only in the Paul way (badly). Featuring: An excessive number of Australian films, Noah Baumbach, the one you definitely won't watch, perverse film critics, f...

There are a lot of parallels between One Good Thing and 1978 horror film The Swarm. Both are unintentionally funny, there’s a lot of shouting and Paul drives as though he’s been stung by an eternity of bees. That’s where the differences end: we have two Pauls, none of which are Michael Caine, and we’re a podcast. So what right does that give us to talk about a film that patently isn’t two Pauls? What are you talking about? That has nothing to do with anyone. Get the hell off my front lawn before...

Three in a bag, three in the bush… the Baby Bearders are gluttons for uniquely repetitive styles of punishment as they the prodigal sons return for more shit film talk! Turns out that if you say ‘one good thing’ three times in an Australian accent 2017’s bad film ‘The Mummy’ will appear in DVD form, and everyone involved must watch it or be laughed at as bad film boys for all time. If you can find at least one good thing about it, however, the curse reverses and The Mummy is plagued by the expec...

The Pauls have been sucking the life out of the podcast game for so long that the podcast world struck back: Oliver Urwin from the wicked sweet Video Negative podcast punished us from the skies. The gauntlet? We must not only watch James Nguyen's Birdemic: Shock and Terror but we must also find some good things about it. As in the classic OGT style. Then he LAUGHED, listeners. Long and hard. At our very own podcast. That is until he realised that he had agreed to come on said podcast to talk abo...

This week a royal coupling has the Pauls in a tizzy; the republic dream is fading, they’re focusing on the negative, they’re certainly not mindful of our thoughts and, to be perfectly honest, if anyone is pleased to see them at this stage then something has gone horribly wrong. What’s more, because I can’t be bothered to finish this analogy I’m going to go ahead and make it clear that we’re talking about Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones without any further reference to real life events...

Thanks to Paul's girlfriend Nell (who seceretly wanted to watch this however much she tells you different) the Pauls found themselves actively watching Sharknado: the 4th Awakens. So bad it's good? Or so good at bad that it's good? Or just plain three bags of crap because it did good bad? Before the similarities to the Pauls themselves get too loud and aggressive (much like said Pauls), it's probably best to let this one speak for itself. And what does it say? It says nado. Featuring: nado. ogtp...

Basically, after seventy-plus hours of OGT, the Pauls have gone the way of Bonnie and Clyde, Sonny and Cher and Bono/Bono and bloody had it with each other. One Paul had a feeling this would happen, so about ten weeks ago asked the other Paul to watch five Adam Sandler films in one go. "For the podcast," he said, grubbing his hands like a fly perched on a peach, and left it at that. Turns out, unbeknownst to himself, that he was serious. Seeing as they went ahead and watched five of Sandler's ea...

For such a sexy episode number the Pauls get down and dirty – that is to say, on their knees, in the mud, rooting around for meaning – and not just because they're failures in the eyes of their parents, friends and future employers. No, there's something more sinister than that. One of the Pauls has trapped the other in a supposedly metatextual podcast about podcasting, only when trapped Paul tries to question the other's intent he's met with hisses and jeers about "the whores down at the lake" ...

Ohnoes! This week both Pauls shat up their magic boxes and decided that if they wanted any women to ever touch it again then they needed to do a right-old magic box makeover! They got Ty whatshisface from that American show where they build mansions for orphans and single dads, Taye Diggs, Mike Tyson (from Ip Man) and Tyson Fury* to pitch in with their various views and approaches to life –because after all, what is life if not a celebration of diversity and ruddy well being yourself? I know I'm...

The Pauls are trying something new! At the incest and folk-dancing party they were asked to attend by a member of Oasis they sat down and discussed ALL of videogames! On a film podcast! Imagine. Anyway, they’re pretty knowledgeable about all this Cuthbert and Maribo stuff and they’ve left absolutely nothing out at all, so strap in, grab your game-stick and try not to get a game over, you bloody game…fans.

Holy duck! This week the Pauls take their first step into farty cinema of the past because, believe it or not, people did crap things back then too. It’s not all Morrissey and Thatcherism you know. That’s right, ladies and gentlemallards, this week the Pauls find the one good thing about Howard the Duck, because they sure did made movies like that anymore. Featuring: some lovely duckplay, stickin’ it with Tim, the science series that really will stamp on evolution, whatever a sex clinic is and M...
