Episode 156: Top 10 2nd Films in a Franchise / Pacific Rim Uprising

Get ready for a rim job from Paul & Wayne! (Just kidding, Paul can't handle butt stuff.) But they sure can handle reviewing Pacific Rim Uprising! Then settle in for a fight as the boys stand off in a knock-down drag out brawl when they rank which 2nd films in a franchise rocked the most! Will your fave be on the list? Will you get pissed at the critical one Wayne left off the list? (There's every chance you will ...) Then there's a great Easter Egg contribution from the awesome Deana Marie of the Twisted Philly podcast.

Episode 154: Top 10 Actors Who Most Need a Slap (w/ Toffa from the Master Debaters Podcast)

Madness. Absolute madness. And a whole lot of laughs. That's what you can expect when Toffa from the Master Debaters Podcast returns to assist the boys in deciding which (male) actors are most in need of a slap! Which actors keep making poor casting choices? Which ones have a crappy attitude toward their fame (but love all the dollars they rake in)? And which ones are complete and total do*chebags in real life? Find out who are the worst of the worst, and marvel as Wayne, once again, completely goes his own way to the incredulity of Paul and Toffa. But that's not all!

Episode 153: Top 10 Last 10 / Red Sparrow

Every so often the boys get delusions of being real movie reviewers and decide to review a whole bunch of films from worst to best that they've recently seen. They call it a Top 10 Last 10 show. But with all the usual banter, bad language, questionable calls, and rage-inciting Soundboard (which btw has received an upgrade!), you can bet your bottom-dollar that nothing is changing too much around these parts. Or is it? Because Wayne and Paul this week unveil a new potential opening theme to the show. "Potential" because it's the first of three or four that will ultimately be put to the fan vote to see which should sub-in occasionally for the well-worn and controversy-inducing old theme. Will you recognise the theme? Can Paul's limited vocals ruin Wayne's sterling effort? Is this the song to replace whatever the hell it is that starts the show right now? Oh, and the guys also review the new Jennifer Lawrence film, Red Sparrow. Find out whether the critics have the right of it as The Countdown continues ... This week's promos are for awesome #PodFix Network show, the Rabbit Ears TV Podcast, with Paul's Spirit Animal Ashlee at https://rabbitearstv.podiant.co/ and the great Now That I'm Older with Shane and Kenny at http://nowthatimolder.com/ And don't forget our oldest and bestest podcasting friends, the Epic Film Guys, aka Nick and Justin, at http://epicfilmguys.podbean.com/ Join The Countdown Podcast Listener Community on Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/groups/117845618778882/?fref=nf so you can interact more directly with Paul and Wayne and vote in the weekly poll for who has the best list!
