Top 10 Food in Film Scenes (with Chef Ben Randall)
Friday May 03, 2024
Friday May 03, 2024
Countdown #472
Long time Patreon supporter and bona fide Chef, Ben Randall, joins The Countdown this week to lend some class and legitimacy to a topic he came up with - the Top 10 Food on Film Scenes.
Now, full disclosure, Ben forgot he suggested Top 10 Food in Film OR TV Scenes, but so did Wayne, so Paul is left high and dry with one television scene, while the other two are chowing down on films exclusively.
How many of the choices will feature gross out moments with food? Does anyone get to third base with a pie? And just how does the mind of a Chef work?
Learn the answers to all these questions and oh so much more, as The Countdown continues ...
Please thanks Chef Ben by checking out his food and Chef related podcast, In The Weeds.

The Fall Guy review
Tuesday Apr 30, 2024
Tuesday Apr 30, 2024
It's Ry-Ry! It's Emily! It's a film based on a TV show from the early 80s! And it's Wayne's most anticipated film of the year! What could possibly go wrong?
Well, for one, the boys incorrectly suggest Heather Locklear starred in that show when it was Heather Thomas, and for two, Wayne has apparently forgotten how to critically review something when he has (odd) affection for it.
Find out how THAT goes, as The Countdown continues ...

The Fall Guy NON-SPOILER Review: 0:00 - 11:00

Our Worst 5 Travel Experiences
Friday Apr 26, 2024
Friday Apr 26, 2024
Countdown #471
Okay, so this one starts out as one thing ... and ends up as half of it.
With thanks to listener Andrew for the idea, the boys attempt to countdown their five and worst travel experiences. But by the 45 min mark of the worst stories, it becomes wildly apparent the episode is going to be well over two hours. So because no-one has time to listen to these two fools prattle on for that long inside one week (and also because Paul doesn't have time to edit that down from the 2.5 hour raw recording), the episode is halved and the guys talk just their five WORST travel experiences.
Let the highly questionable subject matter begin, as The Countdown continues ...

Abigail and Rebel Moon 2 reviews
Tuesday Apr 23, 2024
Tuesday Apr 23, 2024
This week, two reviews for you because Wayne is too much of a wuss to see Abigail - the new horror film from Radio Silence - while Paul doesn't have enough time to sit through all the slow-mo in Zach Snyder's Rebel Moon (Hypen) Part Two (Colon) The Scargiver. Neither review has anything beyond the lightest of spoilers, but be aware things are mentioned that are plainly exposed in the trailer for Abigail.
Beyond that, find out which film is worth your time and which one is not, as The Countdown continues ...
Time Stamps:
Abigail VERY LIGHT-SPOILER Review: 0:00 - 10:23
Rebel Moon Part 2 SPOILER-FREE Review: 10:23 - 23:12

Civil War review
Tuesday Apr 16, 2024
Tuesday Apr 16, 2024
Englishman Alex Garland takes a stab at what a future North America at war with itself might look like, and the results are ... highly polarising.
Join Paul and Wayne as they this unpack some of the uncomfortable truths Garland is playing with, while offering their spin on what one of the guys calls "the best film of 2024 so far..."

Top 10 Threequels

Friday Apr 12, 2024
Countdown #469
This week on the show, the guys countdown the very best third films in any and all franchises. From the MCU to the Scary Movie Universe, most every big franchise gets a mention - and a couple of smaller ones, too - but which will the listeners ultimately crown the greatest "Threequel" of all time?
Learn the answer to that question and so many more as the John Farnham-inspired goodbye tour of The Countdown continues ...

Monkey Man review
Tuesday Apr 09, 2024
Tuesday Apr 09, 2024
Dev Patel seems like an awesome guy. And when the John Wick style trailer dropped for his debut feature film, Monkey Man, people collectively lost their minds.
Of course, than means Paul and Wayne were keen to be there front and centre to check this one and with thanks to Universal Pictures they got to do exactly that. Does The Dev deliver? Or will one of the lads come out critical guns blazing?
Let's just say this one gets a might testy, as The Countdown continues ...

From Billions to Three Body Problem, everything you need to know about "The Box" is right here!
Do you listeners get the John Farnham reference? Is it in bad taste? Quick, check out the episode and then let the boys know, because there's 32 more weeks to ride or die with this joke, as The Countdown continues ...
