Top 10 Most Quotable Movies
Tuesday Oct 29, 2019
Tuesday Oct 29, 2019
This week the boys have something special in store for you as they get their impressions on in counting down the Top 10 Most Quotable Movies. It was almost 37 degrees (near on 98 Fahrenheit) at the time of recording (in October!), and the heat must have been getting to the lads, because Paul somehow gets his list mixed up, while Wayne claims he had to cut 60 films from his initial "short" list of 70, so as you can imagine, things go to seed very, very quickly. And fair to say, probably never recover.
Wayne claims there will be zero crossovers, but is he right? And who manages to steal considerable thunder from the other? (Which now that it's framed that way, makes the first question kind of redundant). Learn the answers to these questions and more as The Countdown continues ...

Gemini Man review
Saturday Oct 19, 2019
Saturday Oct 19, 2019
Will Smith is back in his latest action-thriller, Gemini Man. Director Ang Lee has opted for high frame rates and 3D+ - perhaps in an effort to mask the de-aging technology which is present through much of this film - but seems to have forgotten the need for a decent script and captivating characters when making this one. Which prompts Wayne and Paul to answer the almost-serious question: Is technological advancement in cinema more important than the basics of movie making?

BONUS: Top 10 Horror Films of the 2010s (with Sam from MRITQs)
Thursday Oct 17, 2019
Thursday Oct 17, 2019
It's Halloween, it's the horror season, and Wayne is not so mysteriously MIA. So to honour the season AND to set up the last part of the year on the show, Paul has recruited Sam from the Movie Reviews in 20 Q's Podcast to countdown the Top 10 Horror Films of the 2010s!
Sam is a bona fide horror film fan so this is a largely good-natured and agreeable discussion about the very best films that the horror genre has provided to us fans over this last decade. In other words, Paul is pleased to not have to question everything his co-host says, whilst also defending the genre as a whole :P
Keep an eye out for the best of other genres coming to the main show later in the year and in the meantime please check out Sam and his fantastic show at https://mritqs.podbean.com/
Chur! (Is that how you Kiwis use it?)

Top 10 Last 10
Tuesday Oct 15, 2019
Tuesday Oct 15, 2019
The Top 10 Last 10 format is back for the final time in 2019 as the guys mini-review 20 films they've recently seen but have yet to speak about on the podcast, ranking them from worst to best. The intention then is to act as a bit of a guide for you fine listeners, except Wayne decides to eschew all logic in his ranking system, putting films higher that he scored lower, causing Paul considerable ire in the process...
But what is the film Wayne ranked so highly that Paul cannot get his head around? And has Paul finally found some films to cheer about in 2019? Or does it remain the worst year for film releases (in his humble opinion) since the podcast began?
Find the answers to all these questions and more as The Countdown continues ...

Joker review
Saturday Oct 12, 2019
Saturday Oct 12, 2019
The world has gone mad for Todd Phillips' Joker, starring the Unpronouncable Phoenix, but are DC laughing all the way to the Academy Awards? The boys offer their take on the biggest October release in history, and fair to say, they're not as impressed as the vast majority of critics and fans seem to have been.
Has the lack of lycra and capes overshadowed their appreciation, or are they viewing this one without the clown-paint goggles on?

Top 10 PG-13 Films
Tuesday Oct 01, 2019
Tuesday Oct 01, 2019
This week's show is a bit of an experiment as the guys try and do an Ep with minimal cussing and absolutely no references to parts of the human anatomy doing things to other parts of the human anatomy. In other words, it's meant to be a PG-13 Episode as the boys countdown their top 10 PG-13 films.
Now, of course, there is more swearing than allowed in a PG-13 film, but many might be surprised by the final tally raised for charity, as every curse word outside the realms of acceptable PG-13 fare costs $1 straight into the Swear Jar.
Will Wayne have any money left by the Ep? How far does Paul go to bait Wayne along? And does The Soundboard have to throw into the Swear Jar?
Find the answers to all these questions and more, as The Countdown continues ...
