The Countdown

Warning: There are Spoilers throughout!

 

This week the lads are going back to when the mullets were long, the accents were wavering, and the fashion sense was non-existent (sandals and socks with a suit, wtf?). Yes, that's right, they're heading to 1997 and the Nicolas Cage action-thriller, Con Air.

 

Paul has long defended this action cheese fest as his favourite Cage film of all time, but has this podcasting gig soured his sense of fun? And will Wayne fall into line or demand that Paul, "Put the bunny back in the box"?

For this month's Bonus Ep, Paul is joined by Jason of the Binge Movies podcast for a deep-dive review of Palm Springs, the new Hulu, rom-com, high concept, sci-fi, dramedy starring Andy Sandberg and Cristin Milioti. 

If you've ever listened to the Binge Movies show, you'll know Jason doesn't do surface level when it comes to his reviews, so this is an extra special 40 minute detailed review. So please make sure to stay away until you've seen this one!

The boys this week take it upon themselves to mini-review ten recently released films each, ranking them from worst to best, as an aid to all in lockdown affected parts of the world, including the Australian state of Victoria. Included are reviews for everything from The Wrong Missy to Underwater; Scoob! to The Outpost.

And, word to the wise, dear listener. Prepare yourself to be outraged, mortified, and maybe even plain embarrassed by Wayne's controversial take on a big hit at Sundance earlier this year ...  as The Countdown continues ...

Countdown #277

This week, the boys are getting in some solid foot tapping with thanks to Patron, David Powell, who selected the topic for this week: the Top 10 Original Movie Themes. Be they soundtrack or score, Paul and Wayne have scoured the internet as well as their hearts and memories to bring you the very best tracks featured in films that were written for said films. Wayne predominantly features songs written for film soundtracks, while equally true to form, Paul has largely stuck with scores.

Who will have the more memorable list? Which one will touch your heart even as you tap your foot and (maybe) start to sing along?

Charlize Theron! Action! Superhero!

 

Who didn't get on board when they heard those four words strung together for the latest big-budget Netflix release, The Old Guard? Certainly not Paul and Wayne who could barely contain their glee to be checking out a new film with some money behind it. But only one emerged from the film thinking it was any good ... Who was it? What did the other find so egregiously wrong with the film? And why is he such a miserable Negatron?

 

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

Countdown #276

 

This week it's a BIG one with the one and only Rachel from the Fangirling Podcast joining the boys to balance out the usual amount of testosterone as they countdown the Top 10 Romantic Couples from film or television.

 

How do the guys stack up against Rachel with all of Coupledom across multiple mediums to choose from?

 

Well, Paul is apparently whipped by a particular part of the female anatomy, while Wayne can't even remember the names of half of his couples. Rachel, meanwhile, brings the awesomeness to a bumper Episode of the show.

Find out how awesome, as The Countdown continues ...

Here, dear listener, is your DEFINITIVE review of The Rock - the Michael Bay action "classic" of the mid-90s. You will never need to listen to anything else about this film after the 21 minutes contained within this podcast episode.

 

It covers:

- terrible impressions

- the band Womack & Womack

 

AND, as a bonus, it features a phone call from Paul's Mum!

 

Strap yourselves in, ladies and gentlemen, this one GOES places as The Countdown continues ...

This week the boys are answering the call from top level patron, Geordie Davidson, who selected this week's topic: The Top 10 Film Franchises. Deciding this meant three or more connected films, Paul and Wayne go to town in defending the many touch decisions that a list like this entails. And though Paul riffs on shooting himself in the foot very early, Wayne is naught but confident in his list

 

But how will you listeners respond to lists that are missing some very popular franchises? And will anyone ever listen again when Paul passes judgment on the MCU?
