24 min - BONUS: Paul's Favourite 100 Films Ever: 100-91 (with Julio from The Contrarians Podcast)With Wayne refusing to even try and order his 100 favourite films of all time, Paul decided to recruit other independent podcasters to work through his Fave 100 Films, ten entries at a time. And first up is a long-time friend and supporter of the show, who is also a fabulous podcaster in his own right, Julio from The Contrarians podcast!Julio and Paul's tastes are not exactly similar so enjoy the two VERY different lists here as the show begins its (hopefully very) slow journey toward the end of the line, as The Countdown continues ...Please thank Julio by checking out his great show with co-host Alex at http://www.wearethecontrarians.com/

1 hr 19 min - Decade Deathmatch: The 90sIn this slightly-different from the norm Episode - with thanks to listener Troy from the Great Mates podcast for the idea - Paul and Wayne pick their favourite film from each year of the 90s and argue until they're blue in the face about why their choice is better. Or something like that. It's actually a mostly very good-natured discussion, except when Paul starts hearing Shakespeare in Love being touted as superior film to Saving Private Ryan. Or when Wayne suggests T2 is not the best film of 1991 ...Just how many 90s classics will the guys miss as they espouse their love for some of their absolute favourite films? Find out as the Countdown continues with the first ever Decade Deathmatch ...
