Fatman review
Saturday Nov 28, 2020
Saturday Nov 28, 2020
This week the boys review their first (and let's face it, probably ONLY) Christmas film for the season, Fatman. This oddity stars Mel Gibson as a gritty Santa, and Walton Goggins as a hitman who is hired to take him out. Hilarity and gun-play ensue! ... Eventually.
Final Thoughts Including Potential Spoilers: 18:00 - 18:52

BONUS: Our Favourite Films of All Time 70-61 (w/ Sam from Movie Reviews in 20 Q's)
Thursday Nov 26, 2020
Thursday Nov 26, 2020
The countdown of Paul's favourite films of all time is back! This time he is joined from the man across the ditch, and one of the best Kiwis going round, Sam from the Movie Reviews in 20 Q's Podcast. Sam opted to discuss his 70th to 61st favourite films ever made, thinking he could have a giggle about Number 69, but in actual fact, making it extremely hard to order his lists ...
Will this be the first time there is a crossover of the same movie with the ten films discussed? And can Sam a few extra copies of his brand new novel, Compliance by doing this guest gig? (Check it for yourself at https://www.samhurley.net/.) Who knows? But whatever happens there's bound to be some great films discussed, as The Countdown continues ...
Please thank Sam for coming on the show (and agonising over the order of his 100 favourite films) by checking out his and show at Movie Reviews in 20 Q's. Or, you know, just buy his book.

Top 10 Thrillers of the 90s
Tuesday Nov 24, 2020
Tuesday Nov 24, 2020
Countdown #295
This week the boys go back to the 90s to talk a genre they both love: Thrillers! Wayne, of course, takes said discussion down less than savoury roads (even Paul is lost for words over some of his efforts this week), while Paul bravely drops Basic Instinct from consideration and you can hear the pain in his voice throughout the rest of the Ep :P

Freaky review
Saturday Nov 21, 2020
Saturday Nov 21, 2020
This week Wayne feels blind-sided that he watched a (comedy-) horror, while Paul feels blind-sided by Wayne's inability to appreciate quality cinema. Those are the hot-takes from the guys' review of Freaky - a November surprise from Blumhouse and writer-director, Christoper Landon.

Top 10 Phoned In Film Performances

Tuesday Nov 17, 2020
Countdown #294
This week the guys go to town on some lazy efforts from your favourite actors and actresses. From stars of the 70s all the way through to modern day cinema, no one is spared as Paul & Wayne take aim at the very laziest of performances where the persons in question were clearly just wanting to collect a pay cheque as if it was 3:30pm on a Friday afternoon and they were done for the week.
This one has it all folks - including an especially liberal use of the C word. Find out just how liberal as The Countdown continues ...

Countdown #293
This week the boys are stoked to welcome first time guest to a Countdown, Jason from Binge Movies: Movie Reviews and Rankings! Paul has darkened the Binge Movies' doorstep many times, so it was only appropriate to return the favour.
The topic was one Wayne and Paul did many years ago, but to capitalise on Jason's encyclopedia film knowledge, it was decided to do a REDUX of the Top 10 Directorial Debuts. Paul and Wayne's lists have changed drastically in three or so years, while Jason goes full film nerd, and in the process, becomes transfixed by Wayne's charm and charisma, making Paul into an awkward third wheel ...
Will Jason go full Wayne? Can Wayne this week be trusted to make all selections on brief? And just what has Steven Seagal done now?
Learn the answers to all these questions and more, as The Countdown continues ...

Borat Subsequent Moviefilm review
Saturday Nov 07, 2020
Saturday Nov 07, 2020
This week Paul is excited to check out a sequel 14 years in the making, Borat Subsequent Moviefilm, while Wayne - given he is the comedy guy - is oddly less excited to do the same.
What is Wayne's issue? Does Paul's positivity survive the film's length? And how many people does Sacha Baron Cohen offend and/or make look like a fool?
Learn the answers to all these questions and more as The Countdown continues ...

Tuesday Nov 03, 2020
Countdown #292
This week The Countdown goes topical as this Ep drops on the day of the 2020 US Election. So Paul & Wayne decided to jump on that bandwagon by talking the Top 10 US Presidential Films (for which they should have thanked and totally forgot to Chris O'Neill for the stellar idea - sorry Chris!)
Find out what that triggers that moment, along with a bunch of random facts about films with presidents (mostly) in them, as The Countdown continues ...
