Tuesday Mar 29, 2016
Tuesday Mar 29, 2016
It’s The Countdown’s first birthday and to celebrate Paul and Wayne have put together their biggest episode yet! Special guest host Alejandro is back to help mark the occasion as together they review the divisive new release Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice. Are the majority of reviewers correct or does Zach Snyder deliver the goods in this DC Universe expanding film?
Then the guys Rewind, Be Kind 1989’s Tango & Cash, with at least one host breaking rank to cry foul on this cheesy action classic, before they each rank their 10 best rivalries depicted in film with all of the controversies, finger pointing and laughs you’ve come to expect from an episode of The Countdown.
But wait, there's more? Wayne, Paul and Ale then answer all the questions submitted through the course of the week by listeners for the anniversary ep! And stick around for some exciting announcements regarding the show in April...

Who is Luke Skywalker’s father? What happened to Bruce Willis in The Sixth Sense? Does the twist in Fight Club make or break the film?

Episode 50: 10 Cloverfield Lane review & Top 10 Single Location Films
Tuesday Mar 15, 2016
Tuesday Mar 15, 2016
For their 50th episode, Paul and Wayne take a look at 10 Cloverfield Lane and try to decide whether it truly is a sequel to Cloverfield (2008). What they are clear on, however, is how amazing John Goodman is in the film.
Then, inspired by 10 Cloverfield Lane, they count down their favourite films that are effectively limited to one location. LISTEN as the guys try to justify some of their choices, MARVEL as Wayne pulls more than one film out of his (self-proclaimed) beautiful brown ass; and cock an EYEBROW as Paul almost mispronounces the word "premise" for the 754th time.
