  • Finally, a podcast about two men living in a comedy club and watching Joker 2 nonstop!

    Hilarious, heartwarming and surprisingly educational about the scientific method

  • I am changed

    I love this podcast and I listen every week. I’ve never seen Joker 2 but I loved Joker 1, I even gave it 5 stars on Letterboxed. However, I attempted to watch it again last week and I couldn’t get through the first minutes. I don’t think it’s possible to listen to this podcast and still enjoy Joker 1. There’s no good in it!!!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

REPLAY: Killionaire TV 8: Will v Joshua
Q: Paperclip plan vs. Elon plan—which do you think better showcases the idea of funding a trillionaire and distributing wealth, while remaining entertaining?
Both ideas showcase different extremes of fundraising and power: one satirizes AI-driven capitalism via paper clips; the other satirizes celebrity-driven media machinery and military contracts, with Joshua's plan winning for its detailed, cinematic execution.
REPLAY: Killionaire TV 8: Will v Joshua
Q: Have you got anything to add before we start asking you some questions?
The pitch diverges into a detailed, multi-phase plan, focusing on AI-driven paper clip production and a separate Hollywood-politics scheme with Elon Musk as Iron Man, highlighting the strategic steps, potential beneficiaries, and ethical blind spots.
REPLAY: Killionaire TV 9: Rose v Ollie
Q: Rose, how would your mentor lottery work and how would you select five groups of five for each billionaire?
Rose explains a tiered, five-by-five mentor lottery where mentors are chosen from a diverse pool and participants are selected through a paid entry process, with winners getting time with big-name mentors.
REPLAY: Killionaire TV 7: Stephanie v Jamie
Q: Jamie, can you walk us through your multi-layer dating app concept and how you plan to attract ultra-wealthy users while monetizing through advertising?
Jamie outlines a Boulder app with tiered access (billionaire, millionaire, trillionaire) and aggressive branding, integrating non-traditional marketing, celebrity tie-ins, and product placements to drive revenue, while proposing a high-risk, high-reward path to influence Bezos and other targets.
REPLAY: Killionaire TV 7: Stephanie v Jamie
Q: Stephanie, you get to choose if you would like to pitch first or get Jamie to.
Stephanie chooses to go first, delivering a concise, high-stakes dunk-tank plan that pairs a public charity angle with a shocking twist to siphon funds to a trillionaire, followed by a discussion of execution and PR strategy.

Frequently Asked Questions About The Worst Idea Of All Time

What is The Worst Idea Of All Time about and what kind of topics does it cover?

Two Kiwi comedians repeatedly subject themselves to a movie, turning a single-film marathon into a long-running, humorous analytic project. Across episodes they roast pacing, plot holes, and performances while weaving in personal anecdotes, fan letters, and sometimes guests to dissect why certain films feel tortured, entertaining, or surprisingly insightful. The show blends ruthless critique with self-deprecating banter, musical riffs, and running meta-jokes, offering a unique mix of endurance-testing review, comedy, and cultural commentary that often leans into the absurd. It's likely to appeal to listeners who enjoy high-energy banter, self-aware critique of films, and long-form commitment to a gimmick, with a distinctly New Zealand comed... more
