The Countdown

Top 10 Saturday Morning Cartoons

Countdown #441

 

Cartoons rocked, didn't they? Back when you were young, and you were allowed to control the TV remote for those few short hours on Saturday morning, life was full of endless possibilities and school was oh so far away.

 

That's the mindset Paul and Wayne are this week tapping into it as they countdown their favourite cartoons from when they were young - which means there's plenty of outdated jokes, many theme songs, and, of course, some inappropriate talk about which character the boys would rather bang.

The Nun II and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Mutant Mayhem reviews

This week, Wayne is too much of a wuss to see The Nun II and Paul is acting manager at his regular job so doesn't have the time to see two films in a week. Wayne, therefore, sees Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtlees; Mutant Mayhem all on his own.

 

The end result is that each host is reviewing one film in a completely NON-SPOILER way to help you determine whether you should part with your heard-earned to see one, the other, or both.

 

Now if only Wayne could keep his potty-mouth in check ...

 

Find out just how bad that potty mouth is as The Countdown continues ...

The Equalizer 3 review

Denzel and Antoine have clearly decided they want a holiday on the Sicilian coast, but to ensure they don't have to pay for the whole thing themselves, they decide to tack on making a movie. And that movie is The Equalizer 3.

 

Will Robert McCall finally meet his match? Or will he continue to ensure all are equal when it comes to violent endings? And can Wayne get over his hatred of all things Fuqua? Or will it be Paul who gets Fuquad on this occasion?

 

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

The Slashers - a New Podcast! - preview

Something a bit different this week as the Paul and Wayne could not find a single thing to review that they could agree on or had time to see.

 

So Wayne graciously gives Paul the mic to talk about an upcoming side project he has been working on. Accepting an invitation from Binge Movies' Jason to join him in celebrating the Slasher sub-genre of horror films, Paul has been watching dozens of slasher films in preparation.

 

The show will cover the golden era of the Slasher film craze - from 1980 to 1984 - as Jason and Paul take a carefully curated list of Slashers from each year to form their "Blood Pool". From this pool, they'll give several awards each week ... and argue about many of them in the process :D

 

The show will run for just seven episodes and will commence in mid-September, culminating in the final episode's release in time for Halloween 2023.

 

If this sound like your thing, keep your eyes peeled as episode number one will be available very soon. Then once you've listened, hit up Paul and Jason with your reviews and feedback!

 

Stick around at the end of this little interview for a cool trailer for the show that Jason cut together ...

Top 10 TV Shows of the 20th Century

Countdown #437

 

Look, Paul and Wayne are sorry about last week, okay?

 

It was a bad idea to try and tell jokes over a podcast and you all knew it. (At least, that's what the download numbers are telling us.) So the boys are apologising by going back to what the masses crave - a television-centric episode!

 

And what a TV episode it is, as Wayne and Paul take on the mammoth task of counting down the very best shows of the entire twentieth century!

 

To what will be the surprise of absolutely no-one, these lists are latter century heavy, but fear not! Both guys (and Wayne in particular) have some classics on their list, as most everything from dramas through sci-fi by way of comedies are covered.

Meg 2: The Trench review

Massively big sharks are back in the latest big budget sequel to splash across our cinemas screens. But is Meg 2: The Trench worth venturing out to the cinema for? Does it contain all the fun that you hope for in a killer shark film? Or is it another wet fart of a sequel that has no business making it to screen in this format?

 

Let's put it this way. Even Wayne is struggles to find something positive to say this week.

 

Find out just how much positive there is, as The Countdown continues ...
