This week Wayne and Paul momentarily forget themselves and kick off the Ep with a serious review of Alien Covenant. Has Ridley Scott solved the problems with Prometheus or is it more of the same idiotic characters and Sir Scott loving himself just a bit too much?

Then the boys gush praise all over John Wick Chapter 2, leading to a fun discussion of the best shoot out scenes ever put to film. With Wayne preferring contemporary scenes, it falls to Paul to honour the classics, resulting in more than one name-calling session, multiple screeches of derision, and a crapload of laughs, as the Countdown continues ...
