It's an often ugly fight between two opposing camps - the DC fan base versus the Marvel fan base. Both groups are passionate, proud fans and neither are willing to acknowledge that class can exist on the other side of that comic book (film) divide. So this week Paul and Wayne are bravely stepping between the two groups to determine, once and for all, beyond all shadow of a doubt, which battery of superhero-related films is superior to the other!
So don your tights, put on your masks and limber up those super powers, because it's time to get heroic with a pair of super-geeky types who are putting it all on the line as The Countdown continues ...

Game-changing entertainment? Or over-hyped oversized Ep of Black Mirror? That's the question the guys answer this week as they go deep into Bandersnatch (both literally and in a euphemistic sense) - the new choose your own adventure film from Charlie Brooker and David Slade.
(And apologies in advance for Wayne's predictable riffs on the film's title.)

Bandersnatch NON-SPOILER Review: 2:58 - 10:11
Bandersnatch SPOILER-FILLED Discussion: 10:11 - 17:00

Happy New Year! It's 2019 and that means it's time for the BIGGEST show of the year, as Wayne and Paul this week celebrate the very best films of 2018! As such, it may not be surprising that this one starts out as a love-fest between the boys, but rest assured, it all goes off the rails late in the piece. Who has an indie darling high on their list? And who counters with a comedy so high that even the producers of the film got an automatic nosebleed when it was revealed?
Then there's the explanation for why Wayne watches less TV than he ought to, a competition which Paul has gotten himself embroiled in, and one of the funniest series of bloopers to close out of an Ep in quite some time.
All this and more as The Countdown continues ...

In the first stand alone feature review for the show, Paul and Wayne dive into the deep seas to review Aquaman, the latest film in the DCEU, and one which seems to be dividing audiences. Wayne is most certainly surprised by Paul's take on the film, but who will give the film a higher rating overall? PLUS: find out who used to love Aquaman more than all the other Superfriends as a kid!?
And don't forget the check out the regular Countdown Ep which droppeed earlier in the week, as the lads get down and dirty with the WORST 10 films of 2018!

Aquaman NON-SPOILER Review: 0:00 - 13:44

A new era of The Countdown kicks off with this streamlined version of the show as the boys go to town naming and shaming the very WORST theatrically released 2018 films. (Well, this is what Paul does; Wayne does it, eh, mostly). No studio is spared, no once great director sacred, as Wayne starts with a barb aimed right at Paul's cinematic blind spot, while Paul saves his ire for films Wayne inexplicably defends for higher in his list.
So it's more of the banter that you're used to, but without having to worry about being spoiled by any feature review, which will now drop Saturdays Australian time.

This week Dan and Caleb from Netflix N Swill join forces to compare their list of the very best Netflix Original programs - be they television shows or films - against a list of the same compiled by Paul and Wayne. That's right, the Shows Vs Show format is back, and once again, the guests have the advantage with a topic which is very much suited to them. Has Wayne watched enough TV to make a list? How angry will the Countdown's first choice make Caleb? And which Netflix N Swill pick causes the longest anguished cry of "loooowwww!" ever before heard on the show?
But wait! There's more! Including an explosively divisive review of the new Transformers prequel, Bumblebee, AND some big news for the future of the show going into 2019 (Spoiler: this is the last Episode in the current format!)
All this amid the usual veiled sexual innuendo, Wayne's foul mouthed disbelief, and Paul's Soundboard retorts, as The Countdown continues ...
Please thanks Dan and Caleb for guesting by checking out their weekly review of all things Netflix at https://www.netflixnswill.com/
