Starting point is 00:00:00 It's the worst idea of all time. It's the worst idea of all time. It's the worst idea of all time. Hello and welcome to another exciting episode of The Worst Idea of All Time, starring me, Tim Batt. Season 2 in our human lives. It's so bad, Guy. It's so... First of all, we should, before we get to a heat of ourselves, we should explain the situation. And the situation is this. I think we've done it pretty efficiently.
Starting point is 00:00:53 We've watched Sex and the City 2 23 times, Tim. I took the liberty of running the maths during the film today. No, no, hold on. I mean the fact that we're on opposite sides of the world. People don't know that. Yeah, well, they do now.
Starting point is 00:01:09 You know, we've... We just watched the movie independently, like in silence by ourselves. That's right. You think you've seen this movie... You think, you know, you think the movie is long when you have company. You haven't lived until you watch
Starting point is 00:01:26 this movie by yourself it was so fucked man michael patrick king is a fucking maniac and he needs to be stopped he is and he is he has been as far as i know but yeah i mean his lunacy was peaking out around 2010 tim we've spent 2.3 days of our lives just watching the movie i love it almost 56 hours jesus christ do you know what's almost more insulting we've go on. We've spent half a day, which means at least 12 hours, or we will by the end of this, 12 hours talking about it. I regret nothing. Except for maybe the choice of film. But it's just, can you imagine the fucking storyboard on this thing?
Starting point is 00:02:22 Like, this is the first time I've taken a managed to take a step back because usually we we have a bit of banter throughout the film and whatnot takes the edge off of things but to just like experience this movie as a movie by yourself is fucked this film is so silly sing it sing it baby guy i haven't ever literally ever seen such a shambolic attempt at making a movie it's just a collection of things i've seen grown-ups too 52 times this is i think you're qualified yeah and indubitably the fact of the matter is tim i like i was a very numerical based watch for mine all the way up until an hour and 30 minutes into the movie there are no stakes beyond a vague argument that carrie and big have had there's literally nothing at stake. A movie, like any other movie,
Starting point is 00:03:28 sets up and resolves conflict in that amount of time. Yeah, I'm with you, man. It's so stupid. This movie is about nothing at all. It's not until Carrie gets a bad review of the shitty book she's written, when suddenly everything supposedly crumbles. So you think, but by the end of the movie, no lessons are learned. Nothing's changed.
Starting point is 00:03:52 We haven't grown. We haven't learned anything. The mistake that she makes, which is pashing another guy despite the fact that she's married, gets resolved by her husband buying her a fucking diamond ring, which not only just strengthens this horrible consumerism that permeates the entire film, but rewards this fucking happy for the bloody patience I'm ex-boyfriend
Starting point is 00:04:12 when she's overseas on a trip that she got from her friend. Because karma doesn't exist, guy. Karma doesn't exist. The universe isn't fair. The bow that they try and wrap this package of feces up in like it's pretty much comprised exclusively of pubic hair fucking nail clippings and i don't know like vials of sweat to strengthen this horrible package pretty much so they leave abu dhabi right and you can see michael patrick king just throwing shit against the wall hoping that everyone
Starting point is 00:04:45 will remember from two days ago when they started watching the movie that there was stuff which vaguely related to what he's putting together at the end so carrie lifts her and sasuke carry lifts up her um her she reveals her leg to hail a cab right when they need to get to the airport otherwise they won't fly first class what a a disaster that would be. And then when they drive off in the cab, so it's like, oh, that's right. That happened, you know, a year ago when I was born. And then there's a poster for Heart of the Desert, which is the same vague attempt to, like,
Starting point is 00:05:16 at least allude to the fact that there's, like, it's all, you know, the 10 years you've spent watching this movie have all happened in the same realm of time, in the same galaxy. There's Charlotte, you know, the 10 years you've spent watching this movie have all happened in the same realm of time and the same galaxy. Yeah. There's, um, Charlotte,
Starting point is 00:05:29 you know, no, yeah. Charlotte finds out that she didn't need to be worried that whole time. She was in Abu Dhabi because guess what? Her nanny was a lesbian Miranda. She gets hired for a banging job where everyone's like, Oh my God, this lady is amazing.
Starting point is 00:05:42 And it's just, it's just, it's fucked. didn't pick it up it's absolute lunacy guy it's there's no justice in this world where this movie could exist like to take it on a more meta scale there's no justice in this world where this movie could exist and people could get paid lots of money for making it and putting it together. And there's no justice within the universe they create in the world of the film because these horrible, wretched, fucking, awful, deplorable human beings are going around with their awful, wretched lives
Starting point is 00:06:16 and they at no point have encountered any resistance that the universe would normally put up to any kind of usual biological being that is this harmful for the rest of the environment or herd like basic darwinism would have taken these motherfuckers out of the food chain by now such as this stupidity and evil i know the one moment where i was oh well there's obviously there's moments littered throughout the film where i'm busting for a different offer i say this every week which is evidence of how far down the fucking rabbit hole we've gone but like when aiden picks up carrie when they see each other for the first time and he gives her a big hug and then she's like is this
Starting point is 00:06:54 legal all i want is for aiden to say absolutely not and then just police officers raid the hug and arrest her and they take her away and they round up the friends and they get executed for this fucking offensive behavior like how amazing would that be that's a movie though what you're describing is a movie it's so interstellar i watched it again over the weekend right call me crazy i'm a sucker for that film that takes place over roughly the same amount of in fact it probably is almost identical amount of screen time and in that it spans like uh over a century and like taking humans off of planet earth and worse worse yet this movie doesn't even
Starting point is 00:07:47 like it didn't even pause to consider how long exactly it was meant to like there's no consideration for timeline they're all over the shop supposedly they're only holidaying in abu dhabi for a week yeah i heard that for the first time as well today it's's like, wait a minute. What? A week? No. It's just, you know, it's just. And the thing is, Tim, we might have watched it 23 times. We haven't even scaled. We're not even halfway to the South Pole yet.
Starting point is 00:08:21 Yeah. Yeah, that's depressing. I'm so angry at the the film i'm so mad at it it's so awful okay okay well this might be a good time then uh to try and temper i mean we're both coming in piping hot with serious aggression uh to temper no i'd say we keep no way no tempering let's ride the rage train for a little bit more well this is this this is it's part of the rage train but it's also i enjoyed it and that when the late you know when samantha gets snapped for having sex on the beach come on everybody tonight oh well i really like that they go back to the hotel room and she's like where's um where's abdul like where
Starting point is 00:09:05 are the butlers yeah this week was the first time when i observed that they just bounced i mean it's sort of suggested that maybe carrie and garon like supposedly have formed some sort of bond but even he's like thank fuck that i've been dismissed from awful harpy judy i'm gonna go and like masturbate in a toilet cubicle to graffiti just do anything except spend more time around these people i found it so satisfying to know that i don't know if michael patrick king did this knowingly almost definitely not that the the butlers were just like fuck it just drop this shit whatever they were doing and bailed good on them i wish we could do the same the funny thing is is um i think the filmmakers or rather filmmaker michael patrick king he thinks that we the audience are like
Starting point is 00:10:03 on board with the girls but the closest thing we have to an audience surrogate in this movie are the literal servants that are waiting on them hand and foot in the middle east who are earning like pennies an hour that is that's my end for the movie that's who i can gravitate to towards the most and go your life is the most similar to mine. Yeah. They're so unrelatable. Like, so Zoe, my girlfriend, was here watching the first bit of the movie with me because she felt so bad that I was so tired and I had to sit through the movie again by myself.
Starting point is 00:10:36 So God bless her. She was in there for the first half hour, 45 minutes. What an angel. She lost her shit, man. She could not handle this film whatsoever she was giggling at like just repetitively commenting on how nothing makes sense how all the costumes are bizarre she could not contain herself at the um first appearance of carrie's hat in the wedding uh the crown that we always mark she was just like what the hell is that the giggling from zoe is almost masochistic in a sense because i imagine yes like if she was just
Starting point is 00:11:13 watching the movie as a punter it would just be disgust outrage and being upset but watching the movie in the context of knowing her boyfriend has to like has watched it 22 times and will watch it... Like another, what, 20, 29 or whatever. That is hysterical. Yeah. She's seen What The Fuck a number of times. Yeah, yeah. And if you look at it as her being a surrogate for anyone listening to the podcast,
Starting point is 00:11:42 I guess that's the end. That's the satisfaction that there are people doing something so terrible grown-ups too we said almost every episode of the first season do not watch the movie it's like this movie is at a level where i kind of think you should because this thing almost has it has to be seen to be believed absolutely i 100 agree with you tim i i think it is imperative at this juncture just because if you haven't watched sex in the city 2 and you've been you've been following the journey this season like it's just i imagine it's just this really dark like it's just once a week for half an hour you just experience this really sort of
Starting point is 00:12:25 deep sense of despair and upset and i think context is important because it's not like it's not giddy insanity it's it's like it's it's a really dark sort of feeling and i yeah i agree i had that thought independent from actually getting around to watching the film this week i did think to myself i feel like at some point we should announce to everyone, watch the movie. Yeah. Understand. I feel like this is it. I feel like it's finally at the point.
Starting point is 00:12:55 Because I hear you. Mostly the emotions that get recorded on this podcast are two beaten down, weary men who've just had enough and are at the end of their tether but you know what i'm fucking fired up this week man i am legitimately angry the movie exists yeah i think it's yeah i think it's the i think watching it apart from each other forced a level of like just it's it was almost i don't know at points it was almost like meditation like i found it so exhausting and ongoing that it was it almost forced me like into like it was meditation it was like introspection because i just didn't i didn't want to be engaging with it like yeah you can watch two stand-up specials in a fucking episode of Seinfeld in the time we watched Nothing Happened to Four Terrible People.
Starting point is 00:13:49 You can watch seven episodes of South Park. It's just, it's so broken. And everything about it is wrong. Like, all the script. Zoe's right to maniacally laugh at everything that's offered. Like, Michael Patrick King pretty much went up to Charlotte and he said okay as soon as we like as soon as we get to okay
Starting point is 00:14:06 in New York all I want you to do I just want you to take everything literally and be upset at you know at everything that's your direction
Starting point is 00:14:15 and he goes okay I can do that and then he's like okay now you're in the Middle East and all I want you to do while we're shooting here in Morocco is
Starting point is 00:14:22 just look at your phone that's all I want from you and miranda all i want you to do is just pretend to read lonely planet travel guides about the united bower emirates i don't want anything more from you i know it seems insane because we're throwing a lot of money at this movie and we're going to piss off a lot of people but this is all i want you anything more is too much it's there's no emotional engagement there isn't even the one thread that they could have pulled it in this film to to get it across the line is the friendship element by making this a buddy film that's got four parts instead of the
Starting point is 00:14:57 usual two yeah but at every turn these women are turning on each other they're accusing each other of their marriages falling apart they they're awful self-absorbed yeah they're talking across each other the whole movie like someone presents a huge personal problem they're having and then whoever is next to them just correlates it to a personal problem that they're having no one resolves either of the other person's issues it's just like oh hi you're doing that well i'm struggling with this it's just for people it's even worse than it's even worse than that because it's not like oh you're doing that i'm doing this it's just the person presents their problem and then the camera pans to the next person and they present their problem without any acknowledgement whatsoever that the person even spoke before it's like yeah it's inhuman the way that they're communicating yeah it's not well yeah whoo i feel like i mean i'm still i'm still impassioned by how much i didn't enjoy that
Starting point is 00:15:53 but i feel like i'm at least like released some of this well just while i mentioned that um zoe watched the first bit of the film as well i I can tell you something for free. Zoe was legitimately very concerned by that baby crying as passionately and often as Rose does in the film. Charlotte's daughter is legitimate. That is a small child and she is very much crying real tears. No doubt about it. We've alluded to it vaguely in the past, but I mean, Michael Patrick King was definitely paying certain crew members
Starting point is 00:16:29 extra pocket money to taunt the baby. To say, you can't even do basic maths, you stupid fucking baby. Look at your dumb baby face. Whatever insults they could muster. Zoe was getting real upset by how obviously upset that
Starting point is 00:16:45 baby was like it was you know she felt uncomfortable watching it crying all the time no doubt and what got me right and that's so the scene where the baby's visibly upset is when Charlotte's baking 10 million cupcakes for some after school event
Starting point is 00:17:01 Zoe usually said she said why is she making all those cupcakes and I said it is never addressed and she just started cracking up it's vaguely addressed she says well yeah first of all the reason she's baking the cupcakes is because it makes the set look good it makes it look like something's happening in this fucked up universe it's not a reason it is well no no it's the actual reason though because i'm baking these cupcakes for the afterschool event tomorrow. Like whatever garbage reason Michael wrote into the script when he was three bottles of whiskey and 10 cigars and five blunts deep in his fucking awful journey
Starting point is 00:17:34 into the recesses of his broken brain. But so she says like, yeah, she says, I am doing this. And she says like, and her daughter is it not rose who's the other one lily lily lily's like mommy mommy look what i did and she's like hold on sweetie mommy's just making these cupcakes for the after school event that's not even the focus the focus there is on the phone conversation the only time her attention is broken from talking on the phone to carrie is it's nothing to do with parenting. It's everything to do with when her skirt or whatever gets destroyed. And then like Charlotte's character
Starting point is 00:18:10 is fucking not even one dimensional. It's like, because so then when her and Miranda are having a drink, you know, when like Charlotte supposedly dumps all of her feelings about motherhood onto Miranda as like a release.
Starting point is 00:18:24 That scene fucking got me good this week. Yeah. You know what? dumps all of her feelings about motherhood onto miranda as like a release that's saying oh fucking everyone goes through this week yeah you know what the line she the line so um miranda's like being a mother is hard and then charlotte says yes yes but the benefits but the benefits make it worth it that's not something a human being says ever that line stuck out like a sore that like a big baboon's red bear naked ass at the zoo this week for me as well because i was like no one has ever said that that is not something that someone would ever say it's so unnatural robotic cold and like a machine trying to emulate human emotion it's like my patrick king is an ai android who has been sent from the future to
Starting point is 00:19:05 destroy us and he's trying to like guess how emotional beings talk it's so calculated and weird it's pretty just like odd numerical kind of mathematical language yeah yeah he just punched it through a random emotion generator oh it's an odd line jesus christ hey i'll tell you something though and this can be my shining light this week because i got a lot of joy out of it um so the way that it works folks is a guy and i synced up to start the movie at the same time and then turned all of our devices to flight mode as is as is the rules as is tradition and i actually got a minute out of sync because i rewound a bit of the movie because this week i saw miranda's housekeeper fully barrel the camera like she looked straight down there and um and and the shot that goes to her when also the thing i noticed just before
Starting point is 00:19:58 they go to her so it's at the school when brady's uh presenting his rat his mouse maze yeah yeah the the kickoff point for him becoming the rat king uh and you know when they announced that some random girl rachel has just won second place like off mic what is static electricity yeah you know the line you know it so um miranda's housekeeper is fucking stoked that she has got that silver medal like she is clapping and grinning for brady nothing no emotion but for rachel getting that second place award at the science fair the housekeeper fears brady yeah i mean so if you if because who knows more about brady than the housekeeper she's doing all the work steve's busy working on his far-fetched schemes miranda's off bloody gallivanting around a workplace she's
Starting point is 00:20:50 not given any respect the housekeeper is pretty much single-handedly rearing this child into the absolutely terrifying oligarch he is so she's like he wins something she's like oh oh no yeah she speaks like yoda when she's worried oh no um all right no i yeah i had a um next week you've got to look for the bit where she barrels the camera um while they're there i absolutely will it's the thing is because i thought about how many extras this movie has this or like just there's so many people thrown into the camera for texture in place of any heart or storyline or whatever like it's like maybe if we put if at all times you know in scenes that aren't just the four ladies maybe if we put 20 people in the background out of focus on screen people will think this movie is a human
Starting point is 00:21:45 heart it's a very cunning trick by michael patrick king i don't know that it works and like when the girl when the ladies are singing karaoke um in the middle east singing when i'm woman hear me roar i was just constantly like there are people because you know conceivably they rally and unite the entire karaoke bar with their enthusiasm for the song and they get everyone up and bloody dancing around together or whatever i was just looking for people who weren't enjoying it and you get flashes of a few um but there was one guy at the end of it who's just sitting like next to the rugby players he's just sitting there smoking a cigarette and i was like i've never seen him he is he's a sabur. He's an audience surrogate. He's sitting there smoking a cigarette like,
Starting point is 00:22:28 yeah, okay, we fucking get it. Can we move this thing along? Because you are killing me right now. He's from the French team. He's undercutting the whole integrity of the scene and I love him for it. He's like, yeah, I absolutely respect that. Any extra you find in this movie
Starting point is 00:22:43 who's not enjoying themselves, they're more representative of the movie than whatever the finished in-focus product is. They're the actual reflections. They're the real heroes. That's right. And then, well, if we're doing Shining Lights, I'll do my Shining Light for you as well,
Starting point is 00:23:00 which was- Hold on, hold on. Sorry, before you get into that, just while you're on the rugby teams. For some reason this week, I got very passionately annoyed that New Zealand does not feature in the Rugby World Cup trials.
Starting point is 00:23:13 Because we didn't even put that up. Do you know why? Because the New Zealand rugby team got called up to go to the Rugby World Cup trials and they're like, do you know what? We know a lot about the Rugby World Cup and this is definitely a scam. There's no way in God's green earth we're sending our rugby team to the Middle East
Starting point is 00:23:29 for something called the trials, which don't even exist. That is fucking... To play practice matches, no less. Practice matches at a trial? No. No. Fool me once, which you didn't do. Shame on you.
Starting point is 00:23:44 Fool me twice, which you'll definitely end up doing Go fuck yourself, Michael Patrick King This is insane I like it, I like it So sorry, onto your shining light It was Runkle The hero, Uncle Runkle of the Runkle Crankle It's at bath time
Starting point is 00:24:02 He's bathing Lily or Rose with the nanny uh and charlotte's sort of peeking in from the corner worrying about everything in her life namely how in fuck's name she's going to deal with the wave of negative press this movie is surely going to receive upon release and um runco old uncle crunkle goes it's like oh so lily uh is it lily no it's rose the young one yeah yeah yeah and she's um she's sort of upset or whatever and they've got all these toys him and the nanny are bathing her and they're trying to encourage you to have a good time and he sort of says at one point he goes oh what's that gonna do like just off mic to um to rose when she's playing on the toys and when he says what's that gonna do like just off mic to um to rose when she's playing on the toys and
Starting point is 00:24:46 when he says what's that gonna do she picks up the shower head and then splashes the nanny's tits and they throw a white top and they become see-through and then he's like whoa like whoop like just the fact that the line was oh what's that gonna do whoa tutors was pretty much the reading i had of that those are the baits what's any time whoa titties all right yeah anytime you can read something from the film outside of the context of what was intended it is um a tremendously satisfying experience i am i just feel like I'm emptying so much emotion into this microphone right now it's phenomenal
Starting point is 00:25:30 I noticed a line which I'd never heard before when our collection of harpies are at the breakfast table once they've landed in Abu Dhabi and it's that bit where there's just like the complete feast laid out in
Starting point is 00:25:45 front of them. And Sarah Jessica Parker says, Oh, I'm just going to try one of these confections. And no one responds. No one blinks a fucking eye because that line was not in the script. Sarah Jessica Parker's ad libbing. And as an executive producer on this film,
Starting point is 00:26:02 no one's going to tell her not to. It's a dumb line. They don't do anything with it, but it made it to the film. Yeah, I absolutely agree. It's just one of many examples of just these little moments where it's like, oh God, that made it in, did it?
Starting point is 00:26:18 All right, very well. Yeah. On we go. Another, it's not quite the same, but one that killed me this week as well was when garon at the halfway point is making milk warm milk for sjp to help her sleep because she's too dumb to turn off her fucking bedside light um he's like oh he's he's like uh may i suggest putting cinnamon in your milk um it's a secret my wife taught me it's like that is what that's not a
Starting point is 00:26:46 secret like oh i see i see you're eating french fries uh let me add a little salt it's an old family recipe that's been passed down for generations where did you learn this tip it's fucking ridiculous oh it's just all and it all just weaves into the tapestry of garbage, which we seem to fucking ram down our brains every week. I got to say, Tim, there is... I think there's been merit in watching it apart, at least, in that we were both forced just head on to confront this beast. Because we're so...
Starting point is 00:27:27 It's just... There was nothing else. There was nothing else. We weren't there for each other this week because we couldn't be because distance has truly gotten in the way and there was no internet, which is usually the fallback plan
Starting point is 00:27:38 when I'm on the lights and we've got some time to kill. There was nothing. There was me and the movie in a room. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's as close to the cinema experience. I feel for you, though. At least I had a lovely another human being to keep me company for the first 30-ish minutes,
Starting point is 00:27:52 but you were worse off than me. I probably paced my bedroom upwards of 20 times. I did 100 push-ups. I haven't done a push-up in like a year um i was literally all over the shop i was talking to myself quite a lot it's like it's all things that you do when you get sent to jail man it's yeah like literally everything you've just described is the behavior of a prisoner and i think also in
Starting point is 00:28:26 watching it myself i learned what has been so difficult about this for the for how many other weeks we've been doing is that it's so on like it's so consistently ongoingly offensively bad that you can't you you can't launch a full-scale assault against the movie because of the length. It dilutes your disdain over just such an unbelievably long amount of time that it almost disarms you in its length. It's like if you were to get someone and rough them up a little bit, they would get really shirty with you back. If you were to get someone and rough them up a little bit um they would get really shirty with you back if you were to get someone and like fight with them they would be rightfully really pissed off
Starting point is 00:29:10 and outraged if you torture someone for like three days you don't let them sleep you keep flicking the lights on and off you you keep kind of punching them in in bits where it sort of doesn't bruise too easily so they're untraceable marks and stuff you take away their food um you kind of dehydrate them a bit and you disorientate them they can't really complain because their facilities have been taken away from them and i don't want to get too melodramatic i feel like i already have with that metaphor but this movie is the cinema equivalent to that i'm yeah i'm usually all for calling out your ludicrous comparisons between our plight and the plight of people who actually suffer through real things
Starting point is 00:29:50 but in the context of what has just happened to me I'm fully on board with anything you can fucking throw against this movie alright well listen I think I can hear something musical off in the back
Starting point is 00:30:05 What's he doing? What is that brand of caffeine? Before we launch into exactly what's going on vis-a-vis the caffeine situation in New York City this week, I noticed a very gentle continuity error. Yes, sir. Re-coffee guy, which was... So in the establishing shot of the cafe, when Carrie's like, I just. Re-coffee guy, which was, so in the establishing shot of the cafe
Starting point is 00:30:46 when Carrie's like, I just need to write and she's like, and I did write for about one hour before I just went and saw my friends because life's a joke and who gives a fuck? Coffee guys,
Starting point is 00:30:59 coffee guys sitting at his coffee table and one of the, and a waitress comes up to him to take his order or whatever and she sort of leans down you know to suggest intimacy and interest in what he actually wants to drink and then it cuts to uh maybe samantha and carrie or a double or a single shot on one of them and he's in the background and then she leans down again and it's not even worth bringing up but i noticed it and i've just brought it up and i was like oh brilliant just more things that are wrong with the movie.
Starting point is 00:31:27 Wait, what do you mean? So what's the problem? So the waitress, well, conceivably she could have leaned back up and then leaned back down, but I think that'd be a weird gesture. Oh, I see. Oh, so she's at like a different level.
Starting point is 00:31:39 She's at a lower level. I worked in hospital before. You approach your table, you lean in to be like, I'm going to hear what you're ordering I'm ready to serve at no point
Starting point is 00:31:49 you maybe do it in two separate engagements but in one engagement to come in lean down stand up lean back down unless maybe
Starting point is 00:31:57 the cafe's loud and she didn't hear him but the cafe's not that loud anyway it's another handle there well Guy interestingly that's so weird that you bring that up because I've got a theory about what he's doing this time
Starting point is 00:32:09 unbelievable do you yet no and it fits perfectly with what you're putting down so that waitress that you're talking about she leaves immediately after he does he is fucking that waitress oh he's fucking her in a caffeinated frenzy in the toilets right there at the cafe he's pounding her that's right they both have a um they have a unique proclivity towards a very specific type of sex which might even go so far as explain the introduction for this weekly segment in our podcast um obviously it's a well-known fact that caffeine can have a laxative effect you know the popular parlance that coffee went straight through me yes i like to think that the reason he's ingesting so much caffeine at such speed and
