The Countdown

It's Ry-Ry! It's Emily! It's a film based on a TV show from the early 80s! And it's Wayne's most anticipated film of the year! What could possibly go wrong?

 

Well, for one, the boys incorrectly suggest Heather Locklear starred in that show when it was Heather Thomas, and for two, Wayne has apparently forgotten how to critically review something when he has (odd) affection for it.

 

Find out how THAT goes, as The Countdown continues ...

Countdown #471

 

Okay, so this one starts out as one thing ... and ends up as half of it.

 

With thanks to listener Andrew for the idea, the boys attempt to countdown their five and worst travel experiences. But by the 45 min mark of the worst stories, it becomes wildly apparent the episode is going to be well over two hours. So because no-one has time to listen to these two fools prattle on for that long inside one week (and also because Paul doesn't have time to edit that down from the 2.5 hour raw recording), the episode is halved and the guys talk just their five WORST travel experiences.

 

Let the highly questionable subject matter begin, as The Countdown continues ...

This week, two reviews for you because Wayne is too much of a wuss to see Abigail - the new horror film from Radio Silence - while Paul doesn't have enough time to sit through all the slow-mo in Zach Snyder's Rebel Moon (Hypen) Part Two (Colon) The Scargiver. Neither review has anything beyond the lightest of spoilers, but be aware things are mentioned that are plainly exposed in the trailer for Abigail.

 

Beyond that, find out which film is worth your time and which one is not, as The Countdown continues ...

Countdown #470

 

 

This week the guys decide to cement the upcoming end of the show by taking aim at all that has gone wrong with the MCU, especially over the last five years.

 

 

Will you be like Julio and lose your mind to consider what the guys are suggesting here? Or will you be more like a Nicholas and be so ready for the lads to call out the MCU for all its faults that you're salivating reading this?

Englishman Alex Garland takes a stab at what a future North America at war with itself might look like, and the results are ... highly polarising.

 

Join Paul and Wayne as they this unpack some of the uncomfortable truths Garland is playing with, while offering their spin on what one of the guys calls "the best film of 2024 so far..." 

 

Find out who that is and determine whether you agree with him, as The Countdown continues ...

Countdown #469

 

This week on the show, the guys countdown the very best third films in any and all franchises. From the MCU to the Scary Movie Universe, most every big franchise gets a mention - and a couple of smaller ones, too - but which will the listeners ultimately crown the greatest "Threequel" of all time?

 

Learn the answer to that question and so many more as the John Farnham-inspired goodbye tour of The Countdown continues ...

Dev Patel seems like an awesome guy. And when the John Wick style trailer dropped for his debut feature film, Monkey Man, people collectively lost their minds.

 

Of course, than means Paul and Wayne were keen to be there front and centre to check this one and with thanks to Universal Pictures they got to do exactly that. Does The Dev deliver? Or will one of the lads come out critical guns blazing?

 

Let's just say this one gets a might testy, as The Countdown continues ...

From Billions to Three Body Problem, everything you need to know about "The Box" is right here!

 

Do you listeners get the John Farnham reference? Is it in bad taste? Quick, check out the episode and then let the boys know, because there's 32 more weeks to ride or die with this joke, as The Countdown continues ...

The fifth film in the Monsterverse hits cinema this week, and of course, Paul and Wayne are front and centre to report to you on whether you should see every punch, hit, bellow and roar on the biggest cinema screen you can.

 

Will Wayne recognise this is the fifth film in the franchise that also incorporates the recent Apple TV series - that he liked! - Monarch: Legacy of Monsters? Can Paul get past his hatred for plot contrivances? And most importantly, does a film that eschews human characters to make Kong the protagonist work?

 

Learn the answers to all these questions and more, as The Countdown continues ...

Countdown #467

 

How can you tell Wayne chose this week's topic?

 

Well he did, and Paul was fool enough to allow it to happen, so now we all must pay the price - as the lads reveal far too much about themselves and their views on dating as they name the movie characters they'd most like to marry.

 

And stick around for the last 10 minutes of this Episode, as there's a big announcement about the future of the show all fans and occasional listeners alike need to check out.
