  • Top 10 Last 10: Pauly Got Hitched Edition

    Countdown #316

     

    This week, the popular Top 10 Last 10 format returns for the first time in 2021 and just before the Academy Awards occur. So in reviewing ten of their most recent watches not yet talked about on the show and ranking them from worst to best, Paul dedicates part of his list to Academy Award contenders (and another part to obscure B grade horrors), while Wayne goes on a George "Cloo-Cloo" marathon ... for no apparent relevant reason whatsoever.

     

    Regardless, there are 20 mini-reviews here to both warn you off (crap starring Bruce Willis) and steer you toward (some fantastic) films, so dive right in with the boys, the water is fine.
     

    Find out just how fine - and whether Paul actually did get married - as The Countdown continues ...

  • Godzilla Vs Kong review

    In one of the longest reviews the boys have ever done for a regular length film, Wayne and Paul prove they are the most qualified movie review podcast to ever offer reviews when they try to make sense of the latest (and final?) movie in the Monsterverse, Godzilla vs Kong

     

    Wayne doesn't even realise this is the fourth film in a series, while Paul cannot get his head around the fact the plot for this film was greenlit by any studio. But who, in the end, will tear Godzilla vs Kong a bigger new one? Find out as The Countdown continues ...

  • Top 10 Films Featuring a Wedding

    Countdown #315

     

    This week there's wedding bells a-ringing as Paul is getting married to his long-time partner, Patsy. So, to mark the occasion, Top Level Patron Extraordinaire, Geordie Davidson, set the guys the task of counting down the Top 10 Films Featuring a Wedding.

     

    With a brief this wide, will Wayne stay on topic? Does Paul shoehorn in another horror film onto his list? And who goes furthest into left field for the most unpredictable choice?
     

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

  • Nobody review

    The boys zigged when you thought they were going to zag!

     

    That's because this week they're checking out the new action film, Nobody, while everyone else is covering a giant lizard taking on an equally giant ape.
     
    Nobody comes from the creator of John Wick and star's everyone's favourite new version of Liam Neeson, Bob Odenkirk.
     
    Does the strange pairing work? Can Wayne possibly restrain himself from making too many Saul Goodman jokes? And will Paul be swayed by the John Wick-ness of it all?

  • Worst 10 Sequels That Derailed The Franchise

    Countdown #314

     

    This week the boys get their snark on and do a DEEP dive into some of the very worst sequels of all time. The official title, then, is Worst 10 Films That Derailed The Franchise, but as Wayne insists, unofficially, it's Worst 10 Sequels That Defecated The Bed.

     

    In other words, the guys get busy naming and shaming the films which stalled, killed, destroyed or at least caused a long pause or a change in direction for a franchise. How many superhero films make the list? Will there be a mention of a certain film Paul doesn't prefers not to acknowledge the existence of? And is the pronunciation of all punctuation in film titles gag going too far?

  • Raya and the Last Dragon review

    So the boys were meant to review Godzilla Vs Kong, but then Paul had emergency surgery on his knee and couldn't get to the cinema, so much to Wayne's chagrin, Paul realised they could review the latest Disney animated feature, Raya and the Last Dragon.

     

    Of course, there is no more qualified podcast in the world to review a family-friendly Disney epic (LOL!), so the boys got to watching ... and something magical happened. It would be spoilers to say here, but this review may just represent the animated film renaissance for one of the hosts and a stunning disappointment to the other ...

  • Top 10 Conversation Starting Films

    Countdown #313

     

    This week with thanks to top level Patron Luigi Tirone, the boys are counting the films which they believe generated the most conversation

     

    Be it due to controversy, ambiguity or sheer awesomeness, Wayne and Paul are ready to argue until they're blue in the face as to how their list trumps the other. Meaning it's time to ensure the headphones are in or the kids are out of earshot ... as The Countdown continues ...

  • Zack Snyder's Justice League

    Warning: There are SPOILERS throughout this Ep (but especially from the 6 min mark).

     

    Wayne is rock hard in anticipation while Paul is extremely dubious, because Zack Snyder's version of the Justice League is upon us and everyone can now experience the way the DCEU was supposed to go before, well, stuff like Batman V Superman happened.
     
    Will Wayne survive getting a bonus shot of Batman through his brain? Can Paul engage his Cyborg-like heart long enough to appreciate what an occasion this is? But most of all, is this version better or worse than the 2017 Theatrical Cut?

  • Top 10 Films That Made Us Happy
    Countdown #312
     
    This week the boys are flipping the script and counting down the films which made them most happy - a sequel of sorts to the films that made them angry a few weeks back. You might think this lends itself to another positive lovefest, but you'd be wronger than the wrongest person on the wrongest day of their wrong, wrong life. Because the guys go to town on each other's choices, and Wayne, in particular, shows no mercy, and in response The Soundboard fires up!
     
    How many rom-coms can Wayne squeeze int o his list? And does Paul a swifty with a left field horror choice? If your answers were "too many" and "of course", you're a regular listener. If you're bemused by those prospects, welcome to the show .... as The Countdown continues ...

  • Coming 2 America review

    This week the guys check out a film 33 years in the making starring the vampire known as Eddie Murphy (seriously, does the man age?!) and his equally ageless side kick, Arsenio Hall (who has clearly made a pact with the devil to maintain his beauty). That film is Coming 2 America - a film which Wayne thinks is no more funny or clever than the crappy way the title for this sequel has been put together.

     

    But the big question is: what does Paul think? Is he bothered by the relatively poor jokes, the painfully obvious script or the weirdly inauthentic character turn for Prince Akeem? Or does he like this film MORE THAN WAYNE?!?!
