Avengers: Endgame review
Saturday May 04, 2019
Saturday May 04, 2019
The numbers are in and Avengers: Endgame is the biggest film to have ever opened in movie history! So, of course, the guys have seen it and have their perspectives on whether the film succeeds or falls short of the epic expectations it set for itself with the previous 21 films in the Infinity War saga.
Naturally, the boys have a difference of opinions with Wayne having seen it twice and Paul only just walking out of the cinema to record this review. But who is #Negatron this time around? Will Wayne continue his film hating ways, or will Paul steal back the mantle?
And find out what as#$*le deliberately spoiled the film for Paul ...
Time Stamps:
Avengers: Endgame NON-SPOILER Review: 0:00 - 10:02
Avengers: Endgame Spoiler-Filled Thoughts: 10:02 - 27:35
Final Thoughts: 27:35 - 28:37

Episode 213: Top 10 Heroic Movie Moments
Tuesday Apr 30, 2019
Tuesday Apr 30, 2019
This week is a very special Episode as the boys say goodbye to one of their very best friends - Scott, a real life hero who valiantly fought cancer for eight years before finally succumbing to the disease - by counting down their Top 10 Heroic Movie Moments.
What ultimate sacrifice is duly acknowledged? What brave act is honoured? Paul and Wayne have a few similar ideas, but it isn't long before this one becomes a full on sledging match like the days of old. So strap yourselves in for a competitive Ep as The Countdown continues ...
The best way to help others like Scott is to donate to charities funding research into cancer, and great friends of the show, the Epic Film Guys are all about that next month between May 17th and 19th with their annual Livestream for the Cure event, Find out all about their efforts to raise $7500 to fight cancer and learn how you can donate to such an important cause at https://fundraise.cancerresearch.org/fundraiser/1947095

Hellboy review
Saturday Apr 27, 2019
Saturday Apr 27, 2019
This week the boys suffer through hell - Hellboy, to be specific! - to save you from the same fate. Just how bad is this critically panned turkey? Or can Neil Marshall salvage something from the smoking ruin that was the behind the scenes dramas? And most importantly, is there a new #Negatron in the house?
Oh and the guys effectively abandon the whole spoiler thing they're so upset at the film so be warned: SPOILERS KICK OFF from 13:45!

Episode 212: Top 10 Tear Jerkers
Tuesday Apr 23, 2019
Tuesday Apr 23, 2019
This week, the boys are getting their cry on as they tap into everything that plucks at their heart strings in discussing the Top 10 Tear Jerkers aka Top 10 Films That Made Them Cry.
Wayne is convinced this topic makes him look like less of a man, while Paul wonders whether people will actually acknowledge he does have a heart after hearing this Ep.
Either way, there are plenty of touching moments (no, really) spread between the typically crass humour (yep, really) as The Countdown continues ...

Episode 211: Top 10 Great Scenes in Terrible Films
Tuesday Apr 16, 2019
Tuesday Apr 16, 2019
This week it's all about finding those scenes which are fantastic despite being stuck within truly terrible films! Those moments of redemption within hours of dribble. Those life-giving oases within dehydrating deserts. Those ... Yeah, okay, you get the drift.
How high will each of the guys have The Phantom Menace lightsaber duel? Who will try to shoe horn in a moment involving an explosion of diarrhea? And how bad is the bonus music track the boys recorded?
Learn the answers to all these questions and more as The Countdown continues ...

Episode 210: Top 10 Game of Thrones Characters Most Likely to Die
Tuesday Apr 09, 2019
Tuesday Apr 09, 2019
This week the boys are trying something different as they put what (very) little credibility they have on the line by predicting the Top 10 Game of Thrones Characters Most Likely to Die!
That's right, Paul and Wayne are returning to the land of television, and are hoping to whet your appetites for the upcoming eighth and final season of the mega-hit show by nominating the biggest characters which they don't think will be breathing by the end of the final Episode.
Of course, the guys also offer their theories as to how each character might fall, and to say Wayne is shocked by some of Paul's choices, and disturbed by some of those theories, would be a significant understatement.
Now keep in mind the guys have no insight into anything beyond being massive fans of the show, so while this is speculation heavy, there are no spoilers whatsoever, provided you are up to speed with the end of Season Seven and have seen the one trailer for Season Eight.
So sit back, relax, and prepare to laugh at how wrong the lads are as The Countdown continues ...
