The Worst Idea Of All Time
18: Cheesecake Factory
•
This episode is accidentally being released out of the order in which it was recorded because Tim f***ed up (sue me!)
Brought to you by The Cheesecake Factory, this watch of F8 sees Tim in his native of Auckland and Guy across the ditch in Australia. Guy can mentally only categorise this film as a collection of GIFs, rather than cinema, on this watch and is addressing one of the elephants in the room. Tim attempts to defend the flick by discussing modern Hollywood's move to make every blockbuster movie into a theme park ride for the eyes and ears, whilst having a hard time reconciling his horrible work with his beautiful family life. This highbrow discussion is railroaded by both of fellaz being absolutely fascinated by American food chain, The Cheesecake Factory, who sponsored this episode.

Check back in a year to tell us whether we actually followed through on any of this stuff.Thank you to the foster brothers Danny, Jake and Colleen for sending in CATS 2, which you can check out here.For video episodes, and to get episodes early, check out our Substack!
