Will Wayne see through his Ry Ry love to offer an objective review? Can Paul tap into his inner child to delight in the positive parts of this adventure for the whole family? And how long before somebody brings up pubic hair?

Countdown #363

 

This week with thanks to top level Patron, Cy Wewzow, the boys are counting down the worst ever films produced (or co-produced) by the Cannon Film Group!

 

Now Cannon aren't well renowned for their scrupulous practices or their fantastic films, but they certainly knew how to churn out a film to home video back in the '80s, and of course, some of them were putrid piles of stinky kitty litter. That's where Paul and Wayne come in: To expose themselves to the worst of these atrocities and save you, good listener, from having to do the same.

 

Will Wayne betray his Ninja heritage and denounce several films featuring that most mysterious of martial arts practicing characters? Can Paul overcome the trauma inflicted upon him by recent guest appearances on the Binge Movies podcast covering far too many Cannon films. And will this many terrible films break both co-hosts mentally?

Star Wars. The Mandalorian. Boba Fett.

 

Words that in combination cause Wayne to regress to being an 11 year old boy. So how will he go reviewing the latest Disney+ series set in the Star Wars Universe? And given Paul is not quite so enamoured with all things Star Wars beyond 1985, how will he respond to this 7 episode series which seems to find it overly difficult to stay focused on its titular character?

Countdown #362 

 

In a Countdown first, Wayne and Paul are this week counting down the best films by a specific studio. And with The Batman dropping into cinemas across the world, it seemed appropriate to begin with "The WB" aka Warner Brothers. 

 

Strap yourselves in then for an in-depth episode of the show, as it turns out WBs produced some of the boys' favourite films. Wayne, however, seems determined to take back his mantle as the "out there" co-host for this topic, choosing some genuine head-scratchers that NO-ONE will see coming. While Paul is still smarting over yet another pasting in the votes for Ep 361 ...

 

Who will nail this seemingly more simple brief? What Batman film do the guys consider the best ever made? And what two big stars hated each other's guts on one of the biggest WB films of the last decade?

 

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

What is brown and white and thinks its opinions matter to people? :P

 

The first massive release for 2022 is here and the hype for it has been gathering considerable steam. So it has to be asked: Does Matt Reeves deliver with his very different take on The Batman? Or is it a three hour snooze fest that will have comic book fans falling to their knees and screaming in anguish?

 

Paul and Wayne, with thanks to Warner Bros and Universal Pictures, are here to answer that exact question in time for opening day of the film. Plus: Can Wayne put away his Batman shaped erection for long enough to review this film objectively? And did Paul survive the three hour run time on this bad boy?

Countdown #361

 

Top level Patron to the show, Geordie Davidson, furnished the boys with this week's topic: The Top 10 Neo-Noir films. Actually, he wanted the guys to do the Top 10 Noir Films, but given they could barely muster ten that they'd seen between then that pre-dated 1960, the philistines instead brokered the topic to be a little more contemporary.

 

Anyway, to make it harder, Wayne somehow talked Paul into only counting films that displayed a prominent use of shadow, featured a protagonist in over their heads, and employed a femme fatale character in a major role. The problem being this made it way TOO hard, and this Episode is the result of TRYING to meet this brief...

 

Will Paul and Wayne maintain their cordial cease fire at one another given the difficulty of the topic? And who will screw the brief up harder while making the case for some "interesting" neo-noir films?

This episode is off the charts!

 

(Sorry.)

 

This week the guys jump into the latest video game adaptation which is supposed to be the first GOOD example thereof (it's not): Uncharted.

 

Wayne, finally, reverts to form consistent with the first six years of the show, while Paul, equally finally, re-dons his Negatron role as he takes aim at the many, many plot holes and contrivances of this film.

Countdown #360

 

In celebration of the release of the Uncharted film, the guys have decided to revisit one of the very early topics on the show and countdown their WORST ever video game movies!

 

Now, to be clear, this is no reflection on the quality of Uncharted - that's it's own review episode out very soon - but it is an acknowledgement that there have basically been zero great video game movies since Super Movie Brothers kick started it all back in 1993.

 

Listen as the boys are united (for a change) in their anger and incredulity over the films which populate their lists. Will Uwe Bill take the dubious honour away from Paul W S Anderson as having the most films mentioned on this Ep? Which actor's cocaine addiction effectively killed the film he was supposed to be starring in? And just how many "mash button" fighting games get called out this episode?

Well, this show came out of nowhere!

 

The buzz is real (sorry) for Yellowjackets, a new Showtime show that recently completed its first season and has earned some significant praise from critics and viewers alike. As such, Paul has talked Wayne into giving up ten hours of his oh so valuable time to review the whole season (by threatening him with two Aussie zombie action films as the alternative). Which therefore begs the question: Can Waynatron actually like something this year? Or is he once again strangely negative about this quality show?

 

Learn the answer to that question even as the boys geek out about many of the fan theories re the show, as The Countdown continues ...

Countdown #359

 

This week, the guys are reviewing near on 20 films for you - ranging from the worst of the worst to some quality productions - in the latest edition of the Top 10 Last 10.

 

For those new to the show, both Paul and Wayne rank ten films they've recently seen from worst to best, with the hope of guiding you away from the crap and toward the quality that exists out there.

 

Has Paul seen some better films this time around? And did Wayne manage to watch ten whole extra films he's yet to speak about on the show? Plus will the new Negatron curse follow him to the main Countdown episode?
