The 100th Episode Extravaganza!
Tuesday Feb 28, 2017
Tuesday Feb 28, 2017
In this week's milestone Ep, Paul and Wayne have put together a special celebration of everything that makes The Countdown what it is. Namely, lists, disagreements, cursing one another out, and most essentially, big laughs. In other words, they've put together a list of the Top 10 Countdown Controversies over the first 99 Eps.
This one therefore becomes a trip down memory lane as the guys replay a clip from the controversy in question and then check in as to whether one or the other is willing to change their viewpoint. This goes about as well as you might expect until a couple of late surprising developments that should please old school fans of the show.
The Ep is also remarkable for the incredible submissions we received from some amazing podcasters who also listen to the show. The boys asked for a roasting and a roasting they received! So please thank and give a listen to Mike Jolitz at the Mike Jolitz podcast, Dan Vadeboncoeur of the Media Nerds & Star Wards Nerds podcasts, Nick and Justin from the Epic Film Guys podcast, Justin from So I Married a Movie Geek podcast, Wesley from the Via VHS Podcast, Dylan from the Welcome to Planet Bob podcast, Chris from the More Gooder Than Podcast, Deana from the TwistedPhilly Podcast, Joe from the Quote Unquote Guilty Podcast, Dave from the Super Movie Brothers Podcast, and Shane from the Now That I'm Older Podcast. Oh and not to forget regular guest host Alejandro getting his two cents in. Whew!
And finally, the Cool for Cast segment makes a return, as the boys recast Quentin Tarantino's classic, Pulp Fiction (1994).

Episode 99: Top 10 Matt Damon Films / The Great Wall
Tuesday Feb 21, 2017
Tuesday Feb 21, 2017
For Episode 99, the guys go a little crazy for Matt Damon on the back of his new release (and the most expensive film ever made in China), The Great Wall. And it is just a "little" crazy, because Paul is channeling #Negatron during his review, while even Wayne acknowledges the worst of Matt Damon's best is not really all that great.
Then the boys are putting what reputations they have on the line as they make their predictions in seven categories for this year's Oscars, with the winner to add injury to insult by picking a show topic the other has to do sometime later in the year ...
There's also the usual banter, obscenities, bloopers and the overdue return of Check It Out, as the guys discuss the DCEU and the upcoming release of #Logan. And stick around to the end to find out how YOU can feature on the show's 100th Ep!

Episode 98: Top 10 Long Ass Films (w/ The Boxers Podcast)
Tuesday Feb 14, 2017
Tuesday Feb 14, 2017
This week Paul and Wayne invite Marcos and Wes from The Boxers Podcast to assist them in a HUGE countdown of the best long films ever made! The Boxers fit right in with mocking Wayne for many of his choices, while all get behind how awesome Christopher Nolan, Martin Scorsese and John Williams are. And rest assured, there are plenty of laughs had as this one winds down to one of the most questionable number one choices in The Countdown history - and it's not made by Wayne! *gasp* *shock* *horror*

Episode 97: Top 10 Last 10
Tuesday Feb 07, 2017
Tuesday Feb 07, 2017
Wayne and Paul this week return with a show favourite format - the Top 10 Last 10 (with thanks to James and Zach of http://cinereelists.com/). This is where the boys each provide mini-reviews of the last 10 films they've seen, hoping to steer you clear of the worst, while highly recommending the best. Of course, it wouldn't be an Ep of The Countdown without some degree of niggling, and Wayne again provides the fodder with his *ahem* "unique" ranking system ...
Paul also commits to a BIG challenge if the show can collect enough reviews, while Wayne confirms he will now be watching the whole Godfather trilogy with reviews of the latter two films to follow.
