Countdown #496
... FIVE ...
The more things change, the more they stay the same. And so it is with The Countdown podcast.
After 496 attempts to countdown topics in order of awesomeness so you don't have to, Paul and Wayne are once again arguing about a loose brief. Of course, Wayne is the one contorting reality to fit into his very, very "flexible" list, and as always, it's Paul (and by extension, The Soundboard) taking umbrage, making for a classic episode of the show with much bad language and inappropriate humour.
Oh, and they talk about some great TV shows that have aired since the podcast began back in March 2015.
Enjoy hearing what those are amid much foul mouthed banter, as The Countdown nears its end ...

It's still early November, and yet Hollywood would have you believe it's Christmas time already. How else to explain the release of Red One, the big budget holiday film, which at time of writing, has yet to open in North America, and critics were mysteriously not allowed to see until the day before it opened around the world.
Rarely a good sign, but can the star power of The Rock and Chris Evans turn this family adventure film into something worthwhile? Or is this a massive bomb in the making?

Countdown #495
... SIX ...
Here it is. The FINAL Top 10 Last 10 (at least for the weekly show), and boy oh boy wow-wee, have the lads saved the best for last for you.
Yes, there's the usual 10 mini reviews conducted by each of the guys of the ten films they've most recently watched but never spoken about on the show, and of course, they're ranked from worst to best. But the one film they have both seen and review this week ends up dividing them like never before! Insults, soundboard usage and the digging in of heels ensues!
Just how many and how barbed those insults get can only be revealed by tuning in, as The Countdown continues ...

Countdown #494
... SEVEN ...
It's bigger than a very big thing on the biggest day of it's big, BIG life. It's HUGE. It's m-a-s-s-i-v-e! It's the final Show Vs Show episode for the (weekly) podcast and it stars two of the podcast's very best friends and most generous supporters, B-Dizzle and David Powell of the Poddy Mouth Radio network.
They join Wayne and Paul to countdown the Top 10 WTAF Movie moments - moments in which WTF was uttered aloud or at least represented by hanging jaws and incredulous, wide eyed surprise. Twists, unexpected comedic moments, anger inducing decision - all and more are covered as the two shows compare and contrast their lists.
So jump on board and be prepared to be surprised, as The Countdown continues (for now) ...
Please thank Dave and B-Dizzle for coming on the show by checking out Poddy Mouth Radio and giving one of their shows a listen!

Countdown #492
... NINE ...
Do you have a few films that you love and yet which, to your befuddlement, failed to make any kind of splash at the box-office? In fact, they went so poorly, they belly flopped into that box-office pool and lost approximately all the money?
Paul and Wayne most certainly do. And this week they're counting their ten favourite films which completely tanked at the box office, in some cases destroying or at least adversely affecting the careers of those responsible for the film.
How many crossovers will the lads have? How many times will Paul get to augment his trademark "LOW!" with the Soundboard? And will Wayne finally snap at said use of that same Soundboard?
Learn the answers to all those questions and more, as The Countdown continues ...
Note: Paul misspoke re Big Trouble in LC. Of course it had a domestic box-office release; it just did not have an international one according to Box Office Mojo.
