The Worst Idea of All Time is a podcast hosted by New Zealand comedians Tim Batt and Guy Montgomery where they watch and review the same film every week for a year.

Batt and Montgomery began an Indiegogo campaign promising that, if they reached their goal, both would have a picture of Patrick Schwarzenegger, who has a small role in the film, tattooed on their bodies.

[8] The film was chosen off the back of a gag that was hastily included at the end of a video Batt made about finishing the first season.

During a lockdown in New Zealand during the COVID-19 pandemic, the hosts watched Home Alone 3 every three days to produce a nine-episode season, plus a spoof of a director's commentary.

Halfway through the second season, Batt and Montgomery created a Patreon page where subscribers could vote on a movie for the hosts to watch and record a directors commentary on.

Episodes released discuss the films: As of 2024, Worst Idea is New Zealand's most successful comedy podcast at over 18 million downloads.

[16] This in turn led to a front-page story on Vice, which described the contents of the podcast as "extended bouts of maniacal laughter, existential reflections, and self-loathing.

The company's podcasts include Cult Popture, Boners of the Heart, The Male Gayz, The Walk Out Boys, Hosting and Polidicks.

The episode was structured around the life of Estonian-Australian immigrant Peeter Pedaja, a man who had been inspired to commit armed robbery after watching The Kissing Bandit in 1950 then later made a name for himself after several failed attempts at sea crossings in oil-drum vessels of his own construction.
