The Countdown

The Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Do It review

Wayne wraps up his month from hell with another horror movie, but because up is down and left is right in Bizarro World, he somehow likes it more than Paul who is sick of horror sequels masquerading as police procedurals.

 

Chaos ensues.

 

The fabric of the universe begins to unweave.

 

Such is the suckiness of The Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Do It.

Top 10 Summer Movie Blockbusters

Countdown #323

 

This week the guys get stuck into some of the greatest big-budget films of all time with their countdown of the Top 10 Summer Movie Blockbusters.

 

Aside from having varying ideas on what actually constitutes summer, the boys have some very different takes on this list. For example, how many Tom Cruise films does Wayne manage to fit into his list? Which is the superior film featuring Indiana Jones? And what is the best sci-fi film of all time?

 

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

A Quiet Place Part II review

This week Paul has convinced Wayne to do another horror movie! Though, truth be told, he didn't have to bend his arm too backwards, as it was to a sequel to one of Wayne's favourite horror movies (and one that made his top 10 list three years back)! It's A Quiet Place Part II.

 

Is the film up to the standard of the first? Are audiences as respectful of the need for silence when watching a film like this? And, most importantly, will Wayne's bladder stand the tension?

Top 10 Ridiculous Movie Missions

Countdown #322

 

This week's countdown was wayyy more difficult than the boys imagined. Which means they agreed to go easy on each other as their lists were revealed. You can make your own wager as to how long that agreement lasts ... as they celebrate the most ridiculous movie missions in cinema history.

 

What absolutely dumb or ill-though through missions will make their list? How many will be missions to save the world from a ludicrous threat where the chances of success are about as good as Wayne making it through an episode without swearing? And how many will be about the size of a boat? (Seriously. Wayne. Holy crap, man.)

Army of the Dead review

Join Wayne and Paul as they go on one last against-the-odds mission to find a good original property, Zack Snyder scripted film. Expect consternation, surprise, a zombie tiger, whining, incredulity, terrible character motivations, gore, less slo-mo than you might expect, and many, many plot holes ...

Top 10 Road Movies

Countdown #321

 

Holiday Roooaaaahhhooooooaaaooooaahhooddd ...

 

It's been a long time since anyone has been on a long holiday pretty much anywhere, so this week the guys celebrate that not-quite sub-genre known as the road movie in order to take you, the listener, on a trip across country, and sometimes, across the world.

 

Will Paul and Wayne have their antennae tuned to the same station? Or is this the latest example of a brief that goes so far off the rails, it may as well be a train wreck, all of its own?

Spiral: From the Book of Saw review

This week Wayne is dragged kicking and screaming into his first ever Saw movie, so surely he hated every second of it? While Paul, meanwhile, loved the film AND watching Wayne suffer in his jocks?

 

Well, we live in a world where Chris Rock wanted to be in a Saw film and Samuel L Jackson thought he'd hitch his wagon (temporarily) to the same, so anything really can happen ...

Top 10 Australian TV Shows

Countdown #320

 

It's the topic "they" said couldn't be done. Find ten quality Australian television shows and try to sell them to a largely unsuspecting and mercifully unaware public. Well, Wayne and Paul are not ones to shy away from a challenge - unless it's about watching a lot of films, in Wayne's case, or horror films, or international films, or anything not really involving a superhero or gross-out humour ... Come to think of it, this wasn't a good direction for the show notes, so let's start again ...

 

Wayne is a bit of a wuss about watching most things, but not about watching late night TV, so learn something new on this week's show as the boys take you on a tour of (mostly classic) Aussie television and try to convince you there are diamonds hidden in that there rough.

 

Do either of the boys resort to an Aussie soap? Can Paul find an Aussie horror show to include on his list? And will Wayne include a show on his list purely because it featured nudity during his teenage years?

Top 10 Quentin Tarantino Characters

Countdown #319

 

After last week's stomach turning insanity, the boys return to a regular topic they can snipe at each other about: the Top 10 Quentin Tarantino characters

 

QT is one of the guys' favourite filmmakers, but will they come together in terms of which characters they like best? Or will it turn into a Soundboard-infused insult-fest? Well, if you've listened to the show before, the answer is probably pretty obvious, but see if you can wrap your head around this one: One of the guys does NOT have Jules Winfield on his list?!
