Do you like animals? Do you have a loyal canine who greets you at the door every day? Or maybe you prefer the aloof charm and lap warming efforts of a furry feline? Either way, if animals of any kind make you melt and say "Awww" (except geese, they're as annoying as hell), then THIS is the Countdown for you, as the lads rank the very best films which focus on animals! Despite the heart-warming topic, this one gets a bit rough, folks, as at least one host loses their sh*t during this one, and both have some serious selection regret before the end of the show!
There's also a review of the latest MCU film, Ant-Man and the Wasp, and it's fair to say the guys have very different reactions to what Marvel has served up this time around.
Plus there's plenty more Virtual Wayne covering all your Soundboard needs as The Countdown continues ...

This week, it's the return of a fan favourite Ep, the Top 10 Last 10! Paul and Wayne mini-review ten films they've each recently seen (but yet to speak about on the show), ordering from worst to best, and letting you know when they cross the line from trash to recommended. Which film does Paul believe is by far the worst of the year so far? Which film does Wayne love more than some of what Paul considers to be the year's best? And how many new Soundboard drops will Paul hit Wayne with?
Find out the answers to all of these questions and more as The Countdown continues ...

Most have questioned it; many have doubted it would ever happen. But it is now official: Television is BACK on the Countdown!
This week Paul and Wayne honour the pledge of another Number One Patron and exceptional all round person, Sally Vaughan, in giving their Top 10 TV Shows Which Should Get the Movie Treatment. Be it a sequel or reboot, the guys list their favourite shows which they'd love to see on the big screen and explain how they'd make the transition. Things start our innocuoulsy enough, but it's only a matter of time before choices cause incredulity, inflammatory remarks and temporary insanity - and not just in Paul. Ohhhh!
The lads also find time to squeeze in a review of Sicario: Day of the Soldado, which opened to very little fanfare or buzz this last week. Does it hold up to the original? Or is it a pale imitator?
Hunker down for some snide banter, sputtering objections and utterly needless soundboard drops (Edit: Wayne wrote that bit) as the Countdown Continues!
Time Stamps:
Recount: 2:41 – 6:38
Sicario: Day of the Soldado NON-SPOILER Review: 6:38 – 16:12

Once again, Paul and Wayne can't agree on what the damn list should really be, because Wayne took the brief literally and everyone else on the planet got it wrong (Paul and the rest of the planet have a different view on this.) But it's still a hell of a tournament between two podcasting juggernauts, with some big calls, bigger laughs, and even a discussion about a real life Fight Club that one of the hosts participated in - which, let's face it, is reason enough alone to listen. And that's not even taking into account Paul going full-Negatron on Jurassic World: Fallen Rectum in the main review.
Time Stamps:
Recount: 3:36 – 6:28

This week Wayne and Paul allow their inner children to reign supreme (so, basically, it's a typical show) as they review Incredibles 2 and then countdown the best kids films which are equally great for adults. It's parent versus non-parent, but just how different do the lists end up being? Find out as The Countdown continues ...

Who's up for hearing about Wayne soiling his pants in a theatre? Everyone? Great.
Join the fellers for a round of countdowning aimed squarely at the sphincter, as Wayne kicks and screams his way through Hereditary (aka a damn fine horror film)! Delight in Paul's mirth at watching Wayne squeal like a little whiny-ass wuss, then nod/curse along as the fellers count down their top ten scariest scenes ever put to film.
Will Wayne sack up and out himself through the horror movie wringer to produce a good list? Or is this another case of squealing man-child fumbles the ball? Find out as The Countdown continues ...

Play it again, Sam ...
With thanks to Patron, Geordie Davidson, the boys are this week getting their classics on as they present and then try to defend their Top 10 Black and White Movies.

The Millennium Falcon. The DeLorean. The Batmobile. Just some of the most iconic movie vehicles to have ever graced the big screen. But which vehicle reigns supreme? That's what the boys aim to answer this week as they get up in each other's grill, while leaning on their air horns and trying to break the fastest quarter-mile record. (And expect Wayne to mention mounted cannons A LOT.)
There's also time for an in-depth review of Solo: A Star Wars Story, in which the guys break down why it has disappointed so many Star Wars fans the world over. Who hates the new droid? Who cannot believe how dumb Han Solo is? And who, inexplicably, cannot get on board with Thandie Netwon in ANYTHING?

Seriously, who doesn't love action comedies? They make you laugh, they require no brain power, and then some sh#t blows up. Entertainment!
This week, Paul and Wayne dive slow-mo through the air firing guns and quipping at each other as they count down their top ten action comedies! Because, y'know, Action comedies are awesome.
But that''s after they take on the Merc With The Mouth with their massively conflicting takes on Deadpool 2!! One of 'em dug it, the other not so much. (Editor's note: I didn't hate it, you tool. I just don't love it more than my second-born child like you seem to.) Which host will you agree with? Find out as the Countdown continues!

This week in honour of Wayne's newly installed cybernetic hip, the boys countdown the Top 10 Cyborg Films! Not surprisingly, they spend half the time arguing about what films should and should not qualify.
But before that they review The Karate Kid as directed by patron Warren Leo (thanks Warren!) and jump off that to mini-review the first episode of the brand new follow up series, Cobra Kai.
Which means TV is STILL a thing on the show! Sort of. Maybe. Oh okay, a bit.
