The Countdown

Top 10 Guilty Pleasure TV Shows

This week the boys got their TV back on, following a request by top level Patron, Geordie Davidson, to countdown the Top 10 Guilty Pleasure TV Shows! This one therefore effectively becomes a look into the frightening psyches of both the hosts, as Wayne stresses he's going to be judged very harshly (and damn well should be!), while Paul is more concerned with filling his list of ten since he gives up on TV shows pretty quickly if they're at all bad.

 

But fear not! The usual laughs and shade-slinging are both present, as some really awful choices are made by both guys. In other words, it's business as usual, as The Countdown continues ...

Spider-Man: Far From Home review

The final film in Phase 3 of the MCU has dropped and Spider-Man fans get to see Tom Holland back in action as everyone's favourite web-slinger. Which is very appropriate as Wayne normally slings his own webs about this cinematic series, but is he as on board with this latest Marvel effort? And what has annoyed Paul so much about this film?

Top 10 Suspenseful Films

This week the boys are trading in their casual jeans and work pants for spandex bike shorts. "But why?" You might rightly ask. Well, because they're counting down the Top 10 R*ctum Clenching Movies (aka Suspenseful Films), and they need all the help they can get!

 

Find out which films caused the guys to turn blue from all the associated breath holding, and which resulted in arms of chairs being broken. Then there's Wayne voluntarily picking a horror film, and Paul messing up even more French names!

 

In short, it's all happening, as The Countdown continues ...

Child's Play review (/w Dudi from Shaken Not Nerd)

This week Wayne is MIA due to being a lame scaredy cat, but fear not because Paul has recruited Dudi, the emperor of the Shaken Not Nerd empire, to take his place fir this review of the controversial 2019 remake of Child's Play. Does Chucky hold his own through this upgrade? Or should this whole idea have been scrapped before he was even boxed up for shipment? Find out as The Countdown continues ...

The Coutndown vs Movie Reviews in 20 Qs Podcast - Top 10 Movie Parents

The Show vs Show format is back!

This week Sam and Stacey from the Movie Review in 20 Qs Podcast take on the boys with their list of the Top 10 Movie Parents. Sam and Stacey are about to welcome a baby daughter into the world, so it was decided this was the best type of education they could get before the big day! Find out then, based on their list, what kind of parents will they be; while Paul does his level best to keep Wayne's head in the game as the sole person on the show without a child or one very much on the way!

 

Please thank Stacey and Sam for coming on the show by checking out their highly entertaining podcast at https://mritqs.podbean.com/

Men in Black International review

The boys are back with their take on Sony's attempt to breathe life into the Men in Blackiverse, and they have plenty to say! Do they agree with the majority of negative reviews? Or do they find enough in the Chris Hemsworth and Tessa Thompson pairing to give this one a pass? Find out as The Countdown continues ...

Top 10 Movie Bad Girls

This week the boys get very distracted with various parts of the human anatomy as they countdown their Top 10 Movie Bad Girls! Female villains, antagonists, criminals and ne'er-do-wells are all fair game as the guys come to realise there's a fair amount of adolescent nostalgia in their lists (and all the obvious jokes you would expect once that drain is circled). Wayne is taking his entire sexual education from his number one film, while Paul knows wayyy too much about one of the entrants on Wayne's list.

 

In short, this was a heck of a fun one to record. So kick back, relax, and prepare to listen to far too many not-so-subtle sexual innuendos, as The Countdown continues ...

Toy Story 4 review

Paul & Wayne were privileged to attend an advanced screening of the big new Disney and Pixar sequel, Toy Story 4, and rather than sit on it for a week and a half, they've decided to give you the EARLY word on whether you should herd the family to the theatre to see it on the big screen!

Can Pixar do it again, 9 years after Toy Story 3 was so well received? Or has time not been so kind to Woody, Buzz and the crew. Paul is a long-time fan of the series (hell, his daughters cats are named after Woody and Jessie), while Wayne is less into these kinds of films. So find out whether both of the guys were won over in a very spoiler free review for the first half of the show!

Toy Story 4 NON-SPOILER Review: 0:00 - 12:22

Dark Phoenix review

The final film in the Fox X-Men franchise is here, and Paul and Wayne weigh in on whether it's a worthy send off to characters who have been with us for 19 years ... or whether it's a shoddy second attempt at what Simon Kinberg and Fox got so very wrong with X-Men: The Last Stand all the way back in 2006.

Oh and apologies for Paul's-virus infected voice!

Top 10 Movie Man Crushes

Much like 90s one-hit wonder Coolio with his gangsters, this week is Wayne's version of paradise as the guys countdown their Top 10 Movie Man Crushes! Amid many, many obvious jokes, the boys give credit to the hunkiest of Hollywood leading men, while also paying attention to those whose deeper qualities are more readily apparent

 

This really is a fun episode with a lot of laughs to be had! And if you've ever wondered who Wayne covets the most out of all the men he has ever dreamily complimented throughout the history of the show, this Ep will finally provide you with the answer to that burning question. That, and a whole lot more, as The Countdown continues ...
