Countdown #488
There have been some very funny songs released over the years, leading the lads to wonder what the very funniest of them have been. And with that, a Countdown topic was born.
So join Paul and Wayne as they attempt to cherry pick the best thirty seconds from some of the greatest comedy songs ever. Be it Conchords flying to a lonely island by way of a weird Willis, there's a little something for everyone amid the usual curse words and questionable calls.
Find out what gets crowned as the funniest song of all time by the lads and the listeners, as The Countdown continues (for 12 more episodes anyway ) ....

It's September and while prestige TV may still be dropping things of interest, the blockbuster season at the theatre is certainly over, as evidenced by Paul scraping the bottom of the cinematic release barrel to review Afraid for you. It's Blumhouse and horror (supposedly) so Wayne was going nowhere near it - which turns out to be a very smart decision - instead opting to focus his attention on the beginning of the second season of Prime's The Rings of Power (a less smart call).
Should you be heading to the cinemas or settling into the couch to watch TV this week? Hell, maybe getting out and going for a walk while listening to this episode is your best bet ... as The Countdown continues ...

Zoe Kravitz makes her directorial debut in this stylish thriller that, well, certainly goes places. One of the lads is right on board with what she's serving up here, while the other is decidedly less so.

Countdown #486
In their first TV-centric episode in some time, Paul & Wayne take aim at those once good TV shows that unfortunately dropped the ball and turned to seed. In other words, they're counting down their Top 10 Shark Jumping TV Shows.
Is there anything worse than The Fonz on skis and wearing his iconic leather jacket jumping over a shark? And which show jumped that shark harder: Dexter, GoT or The Walking Dead?

It's been a lean 38 years if you're an Alien film franchise fan. From the disappointment of Alien 3 to the bamboozling direction Ridley Scott chose with the last two films, it's fair to say no old-school fan has been especially happy. So the question becomes, can Fede Alvarez do what many others before him could not and deliver a genuinely good Alien sequel?
Paul and Wayne certainly hope so, and they were front and centre very early in this film's release to bring you their view on whether this is the beginning of a new dawn for the Alien franchise or if it is just more of the same hope-sucking drivel?
Find out whether you should be purchasing your ticket to Alien: Romulus, as The Countdown continues...

Countdown #485
Wayne loves the guy and he's the flavour of the month as the messiah Marvel promised, so the boys decide to count down the very best performances from one Robert Downey Jr.
It takes about seventeen seconds for Wayne to debate the nature of this list, and only about five minutes more for Paul to reveal he's a bit down on the Downey and doesn't actually rate that many of his movies.
Can Wayne cope with this revelation? Who won't have the film that won him an Academy Award on their list? And is this the last performance-related count down the show will ever do?
Learn the answers to all those questions (and more!), as The Countdown continues ...

HOW?!
How does a violent first person shooter role playing game get made into a film like this starring an Academy Award winning actress? And how do they drop $100 million plus on it?
