The Countdown

Morbius review

So Sony dip their toes back into the Spider-Verse with another bad guy/anti-hero film, hoping to emulate the success of Tom Hardy's Venom. But Jared Leto is no Tom Hardy (except, possibly, to Charlize Theron), so the question becomes how does this one stack up?

 

And, well, the answer is "not well".

 

Find out just how much Morbius sucks (I'm SO sorry), as The Countdown continues ...

Top 10 Vampire Movies

Countdown #366

 

In celebration of how much Morbius sucks, the boys this week decided to countdown the top 10 vampire movies. The first big hurdle therefore being: Are there actually ten good ones.

 

Turns out there is, so join Wayne and Paul as they side-eye the throbbing carotid artery in your neck, freak out at how much garlic is sprinkled on their pasta, and cleverly avoid ever letting you see them in a mirror.

Oh and stay tuned for the hilarious results of the Oscar predictions, as you will once again wonder how you ever got by in life without this show to guide you :P

 

All this and more as The Countdown continues ...

Everything Everywhere All at Once review

Time for something almost indescribably completely different. A film by (The) Daniels (dual director names which Wayne loves), Everything Everywhere All at Once is a sci-fi comedy fantasy drama which you should probably just go and see. But if you need to be convinced, have a listen until the Spoilers tag to learn just how out there this film is and whether the guys can like a film bordering on 140 minutes long ... as The Countdown continues.

Top 10 Films in Which the Villains Win

Countdown #365

 

Villains and their victories is the subject of this week's Ep, as the guys countdown the Top 10 Films in Which the Villains Win.

 

Is it a serial killer, hitman, crime lord, femme fatale or comic book super villain who will take out the ultimate honour? Will Paul have the obvious choice as his number one? And can Wayne remember that a film is not a show?

 

All the hard-hitting questions get answered this week, as The Countdown continues ...

The Afterparty review

Paul and Wayne check out the full eight episodes of the first season of this new show from Apple TV+. Given it's created by Christoper Miller (with some help from Phil Lord), you know it's in their wheel house, but can Wayne get past his love of Ike Barinholtz to be objective? Will Paul give it time of day after he sees the musical episode? And has Wayne infected Paul with his penchant for calling shows films and vice versa?

The WORST 10 Best Picture Academy Award Nominees

Countdown #364

 

This year's Oscars-themed show bravely treads where few podcasts have gone before by offering predictions in the major categories and then denouncing half of them in a countdown of the WORST 10 films ever nominated for the Best Picture Academy Award.

 

As if that's not controversial enough, both of the guys name several past Best Picture winners on their lists, while Wayne takes severe umbrage at some of the listener feedback on this topic.

 

In other words, it's quite the spicy episode layered with one hot take after another.

 

So join Paul and Wayne to find out just how spicy, as The Countdown continues ...

The Adam Project review

Get ready for a primer on the endgame of all time machine films in which, inevitably, somebody goes back to the future to avenge something as the boys take on the least time travelly named film ever, The Adam Project!

 

Will Wayne see through his Ry Ry love to offer an objective review? Can Paul tap into his inner child to delight in the positive parts of this adventure for the whole family? And how long before somebody brings up pubic hair?

The WORST 10 Cannon Films

Countdown #363

 

This week with thanks to top level Patron, Cy Wewzow, the boys are counting down the worst ever films produced (or co-produced) by the Cannon Film Group!

 

Now Cannon aren't well renowned for their scrupulous practices or their fantastic films, but they certainly knew how to churn out a film to home video back in the '80s, and of course, some of them were putrid piles of stinky kitty litter. That's where Paul and Wayne come in: To expose themselves to the worst of these atrocities and save you, good listener, from having to do the same.

 

Will Wayne betray his Ninja heritage and denounce several films featuring that most mysterious of martial arts practicing characters? Can Paul overcome the trauma inflicted upon him by recent guest appearances on the Binge Movies podcast covering far too many Cannon films. And will this many terrible films break both co-hosts mentally?

The Book of Boba Fett series review

Star Wars. The Mandalorian. Boba Fett.

 

Words that in combination cause Wayne to regress to being an 11 year old boy. So how will he go reviewing the latest Disney+ series set in the Star Wars Universe? And given Paul is not quite so enamoured with all things Star Wars beyond 1985, how will he respond to this 7 episode series which seems to find it overly difficult to stay focused on its titular character?

Top 10 Warner Brothers Films

Countdown #362 

 

In a Countdown first, Wayne and Paul are this week counting down the best films by a specific studio. And with The Batman dropping into cinemas across the world, it seemed appropriate to begin with "The WB" aka Warner Brothers. 

 

Strap yourselves in then for an in-depth episode of the show, as it turns out WBs produced some of the boys' favourite films. Wayne, however, seems determined to take back his mantle as the "out there" co-host for this topic, choosing some genuine head-scratchers that NO-ONE will see coming. While Paul is still smarting over yet another pasting in the votes for Ep 361 ...

 

Who will nail this seemingly more simple brief? What Batman film do the guys consider the best ever made? And what two big stars hated each other's guts on one of the biggest WB films of the last decade?

 

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