Lovecraft Country (Pilot) review
Saturday Aug 29, 2020
Saturday Aug 29, 2020
Note: There are spoilers throughout for the pilot Ep only.
This week the boys are checking out the pilot episode of the much lauded new HBO series, Lovecraft Country. This is drama-mystery-horror-pulp mash-up is very much outside Wayne's wheelhouse, but is right smack bang in the middle of Paul's, so will their reactions be that predictable? Also: How does the mash up between important social issues and pulpy horror hold up? And who gets completely caught up in whether there are spaceships in the show?
Find the answer to all these questions and more as The Countdown continues ...

Tenet NO SPOILERS Review
Sunday Aug 23, 2020
Sunday Aug 23, 2020
The boys were extremely fortunate to attend one of the earliest media screenings in the world for the new blockbuster from Christoper Nolan, and now the embargo has lifted they're here to talk about the film with a 100% GUARANTEE OF NO SPOILERS being mentioned. They don't even state the gimmick of the film and discuss no plot beyond the one-sentence synopsis at the top of review.
But they couldn't contain their thoughts about the $200 million blockbuster, so here is an immediate reaction/review in which they do manage to answer the following questions:
1) Is Tenet going to resuscitate the ailing movie theatre industry?
2) Will they each see the film a second time at the theatre? and
3) Who is still struggling to understand what they saw?
Tune in hear the answer all these questions and to determine whether you should (safely) venture out to see Tenet when it opens near you, as The Countdown continues...

Die Hard (1988) review
Saturday Aug 15, 2020
Saturday Aug 15, 2020
The classic review is back! And it's for Die Hard! Die Motherflippin' Hard! Wayne and Paul are so excited one of them claims this is the greatest action film ever made, but both love Bruce Willis as the everyday hero who saves a skyscraper full of innocent people a group of terrorists headed by the incredible Alan Rickman.
They're less a fan of Bonnie Bedelia's hair though ...

Tuesday Aug 11, 2020
Countdown #280
This week is the yang to last week's ying as the boys countdown the films which FAILED to fool them. That is, plot twists they called early on or plot developments that seemed obvious to them all along. Along the way, they manage to call out marketing companies who cut trailers together, and suggest superhero films should stop fake-killing their main characters.
All this and whole lot more as The Countdown continues ...

Top 10 Movies Which Fooled Us
Tuesday Aug 04, 2020
Tuesday Aug 04, 2020
Has a movie ever fooled you? That is, taken you completely by surprise while pulling the rug out from under you, and left you nodding appreciatively and thinking "Well, played, Movie, well played"? Well, Wayne and Paul are very familiar with such a reaction and this week they've decided to countdown the very best instances of when films completely took them for a ride ...
Who still can't believe Tim Robbins was such a fiend in Arlington Road? Which of the lads somehow failed to piece together who the little brother was in The Accountant? And who was more blown away by M Night Shyamalan's first (and greatest) twist ending?
