Blade II (2002) review
Saturday Feb 01, 2020
Saturday Feb 01, 2020
With Paul away, it's time to return to the Patreon vault for a classic review! And this time around, the boys have chosen to share with you their thoughts on Guillermo del Toro's stab at the Blade franchise, Blade II from 2002. Though previously only available to Patreons of the show, this one was part of the recent #PatreonPalooza in which the guys thanked all their Patrons with new content released daily for a week - so please forgive the odd opening here.
Does the film stand the test of time, or will the guys put a stake right through the heart of this series before Blade Trinity effectively achieves the same a couple of years later? Find out as The Countdown continues ...
Please be aware there are SPOILERS THROUGHOUT this review.

BONUS: Worst 10 Horror Films of the 2010s (with Sam from MRITQs)
Thursday Jan 30, 2020
Thursday Jan 30, 2020
It's no longer Halloween, so it's definitely not the horror season - but Wayne remains not so mysteriously MIA. So for this month's Bonus Ep of the show, Paul has again recruited Sam from the Movie Reviews in 20 Q's Podcast to countdown the Worst 10 Horror Films of the 2010s!
Sam, as long term listeners will know, is a bona fide horror film fan, so he joins a somewhat sick sounding Paul to put the very worst horror films from the last decade on blast! The guys keep it to films that were either cinematically released or had a big enough budget to be of that calibre, so there's no picking on the small-fry indie filmmakers of the world here. No, these are the absolute worst of the worst; the films that not only failed to scare, but also fell short of being entertaining in any way beyond unintentionally despite the big name producers behind them.
Why not check out Sam and his fantastic show by way of thanks at https://mritqs.podbean.com/ and then kick it back here as The Countdown continues ...

The WORST 10 Films of 2019
Tuesday Jan 07, 2020
Tuesday Jan 07, 2020
It is THAT time of year again. Wayne and Paul's Public Service Announcement where the very worst films of the preceding year are named and shamed, in the hope that YOU, dear listener, can be saved the pain and suffering that the boys endured in watching these massive POSs.
Just how angry will Paul get? Who or what will be the main subject of his ire? And does Wayne get on board the bagging-out train in a big way, or can he remain pure and chaste through this one? (Ha! This is Wayne we're talking about!)
Learn the answers to all these questions and more as The Countdown continues into 2020 ...

The Witcher review
Saturday Jan 04, 2020
Saturday Jan 04, 2020
Gamers have been eagerly awaiting Netflix's The Witcher to arrive, so they can watch Geralt of Rivia strut his stuff on the small screen, while Wayne was just frothing at the mouth to see Henry Cavill back in the saddle (ie half naked in the bath) ...
Man-crushes aside, the boys this week aim to determine if the new streaming series is any good and worth the eight plus hours of your time. Is this an intriguing establishing first season? Or is it needlessly complicated for non-gamers and too slow to make its point?
Find out as The Countdown continues into 2020!
