The Worst Idea Of All Time podcast was started in 2015 by Guy Montgomery and Tim Batt. The format is that they watch, and discuss, the same movie once a week for a year.[3] The first season was focused on the Adam Sandler movie Grown Ups 2; the second on Sex and the City 2; and the third season focused on We Are Your Friends. Both Guy and Tim have stated many times on the podcast and in interviews that the third season will be the last season of the podcast.[4]
