The Countdown

Countdown #418

If the Top 10 conspiracy theories weren't enough for you a few weeks back, Paul and Wayne go back to that off-kilter well to deliver you some very disturbing true mysteries of the kind that have yet to be solved.

From dark matter to severed feet and by way of far too many disappeared or murdered people, this week the boys are covering their favourite unexplained mysteries.

If that sounds too dark for you, fear not. The Soundboard is on hand to incense Wayne, Paul is prattling on about a TV show concerning cities of gold, and just how many listeners will reference the mythical film Reap in the Pop 10 segment?

Learn the answers to all these questions and more, as The Countdown continues ...

Hollywood circles around to the fantasy adventure film, this time dressing it up up as a D&D film set in the Forgotten Realms fantasy world. Paul knows all about this as he used to play D&D back in the day. Wayne claims he played it only twice - even if it was a lot more than that - and remembers little to nothing about such adventures.

The DCEU trucks along with a film that no-one is sure matters much given the changing of the guard which has since taken place ...

The reborn juggernaut that is the Scream franchise steams back into theatres this weekend, showing no signs of slowing down, and in fact, the early reviews are generally very favourable.

Countdown #414

This week the boys tackle their favourite (read: most out there) conspiracy theories ... never realising they might be the centre of one of the biggest conspiracy theories in Podcast Land.

But which one is it?

a) Wayne does not really exist and is a figment of Paul's imagination?

b) Wayne meeting a brief and not IN ANY WAY screwing it up is considered the eighth sign of the end of the world? or

c) That the student film Paul and Wayne made 25 years ago, Reap, is so amazing, all copies had to be destroyed lest cinema be ruined for the masses forever more?

Find out which one it is as The Countdown continues ...
