Episode 91: The 10 Worst Films of 2016
Monday Dec 26, 2016
Monday Dec 26, 2016
The Countdown's yearly Public Service Announcement is here! Did you go to the movies this year and see a total bag of a$$holes on the big screen? Or perhaps you stayed home a lot, because you were afraid of all the on-screen anus.
Well, The Countdown is here to save your catch-up viewing. Tune in to hear the fellers count down the ten WORST movies released in 2016. Save time and money this holiday season by learning which movies NOT to see while hearing snide, body-part themed remarks from two grown men who are still smarting from all the pain they have suffered through for the show.
And as if that wasn't enough, the guys also recast a modern day re-make of Star Wars, as well as compete in the penultimate Tag Lines segment for the year. All this and more as The Countdown continues...

Monday Dec 19, 2016
Monday Dec 19, 2016
This week, the fellers are lookin' for love in Alderaan places, as they review ROGUE ONE! Joined by Star Wars expert Alejandro, (or as he's otherwise known, Rogue Juan), the boys give an initial spoilerless review before getting into the nitty gritty with a SPOILER-FILLED (21:09 - 47:20) and spirited blaster fight on the movie!
Then the fellers count down their top ten space films, with Paul getting all lawyer-y on what constitutes a space movie, while Wayne tells him to C3PO.

Episode 89: Top 10 Feel Good Films (w/ Janelle)
Monday Dec 12, 2016
Monday Dec 12, 2016
Having overloaded on testosterone, the boys this week invite back guest host of the Top 10 Chick Flicks episode, Janelle, to assist them in another slightly less manly topic: the Top 10 Feel Good Films. Janelle does her level best to bring some order to the bickering between Paul and Wayne, but alas, Paul had to make a questionable (read: controversial) choice, and from that point, Wayne is on the war path (read: relieved he’s not in the firing line for a change). There’s also the usual listener feedback on the topic, the Recount segment with Wayne still copping heat for some recent decisions, and some major news about some upcoming releases in Check It Out. Big thanks to everyone who reviewed the show over the last week, as at the time of recording, only one more review was required to get Wayne to finally watch The Godfather. The great news is since recording that review was submitted, so keep them coming as now Wayne is only two from also watching The Godfather Part 2, and five more from having to round out the series with The Godfather Part 3. You can find the show on iTunes @ https://itunes.apple.com/au/podcast/countdown-movie-tv-reviews/id979577413?mt=2 #PodernFamily promos played this week are for Emily and her informative podcast, The Story Behind @StoryBehindPod, and the Go Watch a Movie podcast @Gowatchamovie And there's also a promo for our US brothers, the Epic Film Guys, who continue to kick all kinds of ass, so check them out at https://itunes.apple.com/au/podcast/epic-film-guys-podcast/id1027239734?mt=2 If you’d like to give Wayne and Paul some feedback or have your lists featured on a future episode, sound off on Twitter @thecountdownpc, on Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/thecountdownpc or fire off a good ol' fashioned email to thecountdownpodcast@gmail.com And while you’re busy interacting with the guys, why not grab yourself a Countdown Tee for Christmas to wow your family and friends!

Episode 88: Top 10 Fantasy Films / Underworld: Blood Wars / Allied
Monday Dec 05, 2016
Monday Dec 05, 2016
This week crack out your wands, sharpen those double-handed broadswords, and get ready to ride a dragon or three, because the guys are counting down their best ever fantasy films! With nary an AD&D reference, Paul and Wayne manage to pinpoint a working definition of a fantasy film before launching into their lists - and for a time it looks like all the controversy will be limited to Wayne's #10. But oh no. Wait until you hear what he has in store as his all time favourite fantasy film. And don't forget to let the guys know what you think of his choice...
There's also two new release reviews for this week, with the Robert Zemeckis film Allied and the fifth in the Underworld series, Underworld: Blood Wars both being put through their paces. And, well, one of them is bad enough for #Negatron to finally get his own theme (It shouldn't be hard to guess which one!)
And finally, as per the discussion in this Episode, leave us a positive rating on iTunes to MAKE WAYNE WATCH THE GODFATHER SERIES! Help Paul right a huge wrong by submitting a rating (and review if you have the time), and once five more have been collected, Wayne has to watch The Godfather. Seven and he's also in for The Godfather 2. Hell, let's get 10 and make him sit through The Godfather 3 as well - that'll learn him!
