An award-winning smash hit series hosted by kiwi comedians Guy Montgomery and Tim Batt. The pair have been punishing themselves with movies for your enjoyment since Feb 2014, starting by watching and reviewing Grown Ups 2 once a week, every week, for a full year. They applied the same treatment to Sex and The City 2, Sex and The City, We Are You Friends, the Emmanuelle franchise of softcore adult films and now are taking on The Fast and Furious franchise in reverse order.

Podcast in a Tree 2: 04
A beautiful day in Aotearoa finds Tim and Guy pondering some heavy questions. Can Pope Francis redeem the Catholic church? How is AI impacting primary education? What are those crystals that you get in certain kinds of honey? Thankfully, a delightful Guest on the Ground, Courtney Dawson, and an equally delightful edition of Drugs in a Tree help lift the mood. Plans are laid for a house band, Tim kills at the checkout aisle, and Guy reboots beloved season 1 segment Sandwich in a Tree with a season 2 twist (an almond croissant).

Podcast in a Tree 2: 03
The boys are feeling refreshed and reflective at the prospect of spending time together without having to watch a terrible movie for the umpteenth time.

Tim debuts a new segment called A Little Something for You. Guy presents a new take on an old favorite, Sandwich in a Tree (an almond croissant).

Podcast in a Tree 2: 02
Peter Jackson. Interviews with comedians. The very premise of Podcast in a Tree. It’s episode 2 and everything is on the chopping block. With the boys content to rest on their laurels, it falls upon Guest on the Ground, Guy Williams, to shake things up. Tim, living up to his reputation as the holiest guy around, has A Little Something For You, while Guy drops a hot remix of a classic segment, Sandwich in a Tree (an almond croissant).

Customer Reviews
Existential art at its best
The merit of this show is how it mirrors the agony of the passage of time.
I have a power now for recognizing Grown Ups 2
Within a couple of days of finishing their review (which I did in a matter of a couple/few weeks) on a walk I saw someone in their garage home theater watching none other than Grown Ups 2. I’ve never seen the movie but apparently I know it well enough to clock it with only a few moments of the dance recital scene. Not a super power I would have wished for but I suppose one I have none the less.
Absolute Legends
Tim and Guy are NZ national treasures. To this day I write a shining light section in my journal. You’ve rewired my brain and I thank you for it. My week with Cats should be given an award for performance art. Incredible podcasting, and a hilarious descent into madness. You guys suffer for your art and I thank you with five stars.
