Episode 70: Top 10 Chick Flicks (w/ Janelle)
Monday Aug 01, 2016
Monday Aug 01, 2016
This one is for the ladies!
Having been called out for being too "blokey" with their Countdowns, Paul and Wayne this week respond by welcoming guest host Janelle to educate them in the way of all-things Chick Flick! Of course, they attempt to put together Top 10s of their own, and well, let's just say Wayne accounted reasonably well for himself, but Paul's lists leave much to be desired. Janelle, however, schools the boys with some amazing choices from the days of yesteryear which should melt the heart of all fans of this genre.

In this jam-packed, BUMPER of an episode, Wayne and Paul are thrilled to welcome Epic Film Guys Nick and Justin to help review Star Trek Beyond from new helmer, Justin Lin.
The four then get stuck into proclaiming the best films ever adapted from television. There is plenty of agreement between the gang, though the odd curly one is thrown in to help keep everyone on their toes. Of course, you can expect the usual laughs and cheap shots, but to mark this episode as extra special, Nick mentions Wayne's balls multiple times, Justin's Lisp makes a move on said balls, and Hobester Justin just wants a few bucks for some PBR and McDonalds.
All this will make some sense when you listen to the episode, though it will make MORE sense if you head on over to http://epicfilmguys.podbean.com/ and listen to the back catalogue of this awesome show! You can also catch Nick and Justin on Twitter @EpicFilmGuys and then show the guys some love by rating, subscribing and reviewing their amazing show at https://itunes.apple.com/au/podcast/epic-film-guys-podcast/id1027239734?mt=2

Episode 68: Top 10 Psychological Thrillers / Ghostbusters / Our Kind of Traitor
Tuesday Jul 19, 2016
Tuesday Jul 19, 2016
In this week's big episode, Wayne starts by offering his NON-SPOILER filled review of Ghostbusters to Paul, who has yet to see the much-discussed reboot. Then both buys settle in to review the latest John le Carré spy thriller, Our Kind of Traitor.
And then, because there's already been a Countdown concerning Spy films, Paul and Wayne branch out slightly to talk the best ever Psychological Thrillers. Rest assured, things remain relatively harmonious this Ep, almost as if the guys are still stinging from their back-and-forth last week...
In other exciting news, the Countdown is participating in a Word Salad Network fundraiser by raffling off a future episode. In short, the winner will get to pick the film or TV related topic for an episode that Paul and Wayne will do. So go to https://www.gofundme.com/wordsaladpro and donate $5 for one ticket into the draw, $6 for 2 tickets, $7 for 3, and so forth. The winner will be drawn on Aug 1st.

Episode 67: Top 10 One and Done Films
Monday Jul 11, 2016
Monday Jul 11, 2016
This week things get more than a little heated on what was meant to be a nice, straight forward countdown of the best standalone films, or as the guys chose to label it: One and Done films.
Everything moves nicely through the new Recount segment, before Wayne and Paul take a look at some news from the film world in Check It Out, and then review Kiss Kiss Bang Bang (2005) as Wayne's choice for Rewind, Be Kind. But then the countdown begins and within a few choices it becomes very clear the boys have thought about their criteria VERY differently ...
In other exciting news, the Countdown is participating in a Word Salad Netwok fundraiser by raffling off a future episode. In short, the winner will get to pick the film or TV related topic for an episode that Paul and Wayne will do. So go to https://www.gofundme.com/wordsaladpro and donate $5 for one ticket into the draw, $6 for 2 tickets, $7 for 3, and so forth. The winner will be drawn on Aug 1st.

Episode 66: Game of Thrones S6 / Top 10 Last 10 #8
Tuesday Jul 05, 2016
Tuesday Jul 05, 2016
For the first time ever on The Countdown, Paul and Wayne go all crazy and cover both TV and movies in the same Ep?! They start with Wayne gushing all over the most recent season of Game of Thrones, while Paul offers a more critical perspective on the latest ten episodes of the smash-hit HBO series. Of course, this late in the game, there is no way to discuss the show without delving deeply into SPOILERS so steer clear of everything between 10:35 and 38:28 of this Ep if you've yet to see ALL of Season 6.
THEN the boys get down to business with 19 mini-reviews (one film makes both lists) in their Top 10 Last 10 Countdown. With thanks to the @cinereelists podcast for the use of the idea, the guys rank the last ten films they've seen from worst to best, and let you know when they cross the line from poor to recommended movies.
