- Borat Subsequent Moviefilm review
This week Paul is excited to check out a sequel 14 years in the making, Borat Subsequent Moviefilm, while Wayne - given he is the comedy guy - is oddly less excited to do the same.
What is Wayne's issue? Does Paul's positivity survive the film's length? And how many people does Sacha Baron Cohen offend and/or make look like a fool?
Learn the answers to all these questions and more as The Countdown continues ...

Countdown #292
This week The Countdown goes topical as this Ep drops on the day of the 2020 US Election. So Paul & Wayne decided to jump on that bandwagon by talking the Top 10 US Presidential Films (for which they should have thanked and totally forgot to Chris O'Neill for the stellar idea - sorry Chris!)
Of course this is a pretty loose brief, so Wayne immediately goes in a weird direction, which gets's Paul's goat, resulting in incredulity, umbrage and NSFW language, but it all culminates in Wayne's brain shutting down mid-Ep and Paul genuinely fearing for his co-host for a few moments.Find out what that triggers that moment, along with a bunch of random facts about films with presidents (mostly) in them, as The Countdown continues ...

52 min - The Trial of the Chicago 7 review
For this week's feature, Paul & Wayne hit the courtroom for some drama in the form of Aaron Sorkin's The Trial of the Chicago 7. This based on a true story Netflix release initially ptompts the guys to have a ten minute debate about whether a) films exist purely to entertain and b) Sorkin scripts contain realistic dialogue, before they finally get down to business.
Does this one deliver for Netflix? Is Frank Langella the greatest venerable actor doing the rounds at the moment? And does Yahya Abdul-Mateen II make up for his abominably bad performance in Aquaman?Learn the answers to all these questions and more as The Countdown continues ...The Trial of the C7 SPOILER-FREE Review : 0:00 - 16:18The Trial of the C7 SPOILER-FILLED Discussion: 16:18 - 24:27Final Thoughts Including Potential Spoilers: 24:27 - 25:00

Good friend, great podcaster and supporter of the show, Gerald, AKA G-Banger, returns for this month's Bonus Ep. And because it's Halloween and the "spooky season", the topic is of course horror related, and that equally obviously means Wayne is nowhere to be found!
So it is that G-Banger joins Paul to countdown the Top 5 Horror Films of 2020. It's not been a great year for much of anything, let's be honest, but there are a bunch of quality indie horror flicks which have made their way to streaming services which everyone can enjoy right now.So fire your headphones and get ready to scratch a few notes into your phone, as the guys cover a wide array of different horror films, all while reveling in not having to defend horror as a genre from Wayne!You can check out G-Banger and all he does on his great show at Two Peas on a Podcast.

1 hr - The Boys Season 2 reviewThis week, Wayne and Paul are reviewing all eight episodes of the second season of Amazon Prime's The Boys. Amazingly, the "C" word only gets uttered three times through this entire review, but is that a good thing? Does Wayne find the second season too harsh for his delicate sensibilities? Or is Paul too psychopathic to appreciate exploding heads might be traumatising for some people?Regardless, only one of the guys is saying this top tier television in 2020, while the other is more cautious in their recommendation. Find out who is whom as The Countdown continues ...The Boys S2 SPOILER-FREE Review : 0:00 - 14:30The Boys S2 SPOILER-FILLED Discussion: 14:30 - 26:53Final Thoughts Including Potential Spoilers: 26:53 - 27:28Hit up the CC Radio Network that The Countdown is a proud part of and follow the headers to the other great shows at https://ccradio.com.au/countdown/Want to gain access to all manner of additional Countdown content?

- Top 10 Films of the Undead (w/ Shawn of the Stories of Yore and Yours Podcast)
Countdown #290
This week the guys are going all in on horror for the month of #AllTheHorror - an initiative on Twitter in which independent podcasts join together to contribute a horror-based episode every day through the month of October. Check out all the eps (and other action) at https://allthehorror18.wixsite.com/event
And to make this occasion extra special the boys have invited a brand new guest onto the show - the man with the sexiest voice in podcasting - Shawn Ennis from the Stories of Yore and Yours Podcast. Shawn classes the joint up as each of the hosts counts down their Top 10 Films of the Undead. Oh yeah!
Does Shawn really make up for Wayne's lame ass effort? Or does that ship sail with Wayne's number 9? And how badly will Paul upset all classic horror film fans with his list (because he bloody well should have known better)?
Learn the answers to all these questions and so much more as The Countdown continues ...

- Top 10 Films I Love That My Co-Host Hates
Countdown #289
This week is a bit of a love-letter to the long term fans of the show as Paul and Wayne confront one another over the films they think the other has most egregiously misjudged. In other words, they're both counting down the top 10 films they love which the other guy hates.
This one has all the bad language, wailing and gnashing of teeth that you would imagine, as well as more Soundboard than you could possibly hope for ... and its all in the name of a few laughs. And who couldn't use a few of those given the state of the world at the moment?So get on board for a bit of podcast levity, and decide just who has the worse taste in film, as The Countdown continues ...

But will Wayne end up liking this pseudo-horror more than Paul? And what will the OG Negatron have to say about it?Learn the answers to both of these questions and hear Paul give an impassioned plea regarding the current state of the theatre/cinema industry, as The Countdown continues ...Hit up the CC Radio Network that The Countdown is a proud part of and follow the headers to the other great shows at https://ccradio.com.au/countdown/Want to gain access to all manner of additional Countdown content?
