In this jam-packed, BUMPER of an episode, Wayne and Paul are thrilled to welcome Epic Film Guys Nick and Justin to help review Star Trek Beyond from new helmer, Justin Lin.
The four then get stuck into proclaiming the best films ever adapted from television. There is plenty of agreement between the gang, though the odd curly one is thrown in to help keep everyone on their toes. Of course, you can expect the usual laughs and cheap shots, but to mark this episode as extra special, Nick mentions Wayne's balls multiple times, Justin's Lisp makes a move on said balls, and Hobester Justin just wants a few bucks for some PBR and McDonalds.
All this will make some sense when you listen to the episode, though it will make MORE sense if you head on over to http://epicfilmguys.podbean.com/ and listen to the back catalogue of this awesome show! You can also catch Nick and Justin on Twitter @EpicFilmGuys and then show the guys some love by rating, subscribing and reviewing their amazing show at https://itunes.apple.com/au/podcast/epic-film-guys-podcast/id1027239734?mt=2

In this week's big episode, Wayne starts by offering his NON-SPOILER filled review of Ghostbusters to Paul, who has yet to see the much-discussed reboot. Then both buys settle in to review the latest John le Carré spy thriller, Our Kind of Traitor.
And then, because there's already been a Countdown concerning Spy films, Paul and Wayne branch out slightly to talk the best ever Psychological Thrillers. Rest assured, things remain relatively harmonious this Ep, almost as if the guys are still stinging from their back-and-forth last week...
In other exciting news, the Countdown is participating in a Word Salad Network fundraiser by raffling off a future episode. In short, the winner will get to pick the film or TV related topic for an episode that Paul and Wayne will do. So go to https://www.gofundme.com/wordsaladpro and donate $5 for one ticket into the draw, $6 for 2 tickets, $7 for 3, and so forth. The winner will be drawn on Aug 1st.

This week things get more than a little heated on what was meant to be a nice, straight forward countdown of the best standalone films, or as the guys chose to label it: One and Done films.
Everything moves nicely through the new Recount segment, before Wayne and Paul take a look at some news from the film world in Check It Out, and then review Kiss Kiss Bang Bang (2005) as Wayne's choice for Rewind, Be Kind. But then the countdown begins and within a few choices it becomes very clear the boys have thought about their criteria VERY differently ...
In other exciting news, the Countdown is participating in a Word Salad Netwok fundraiser by raffling off a future episode.

For the first time ever on The Countdown, Paul and Wayne go all crazy and cover both TV and movies in the same Ep?! They start with Wayne gushing all over the most recent season of Game of Thrones, while Paul offers a more critical perspective on the latest ten episodes of the smash-hit HBO series. Of course, this late in the game, there is no way to discuss the show without delving deeply into SPOILERS so steer clear of everything between 10:35 and 38:28 of this Ep if you've yet to see ALL of Season 6.
THEN the boys get down to business with 19 mini-reviews (one film makes both lists) in their Top 10 Last 10 Countdown. With thanks to the @cinereelists podcast for the use of the idea, the guys rank the last ten films they've seen from worst to best, and let you know when they cross the line from poor to recommended movies.
#PodernFamily promos spun in this episode are for Now That I'm Older @ImOlderPC and the great Moviesaurus Rex podcast @MRexPodcast.

In this week’s big episode, Paul and Wayne try their level best to talk about the positives of the newly released, big summer tent-pole sequel, Independence Day: Resurgence, but keep getting side-tracked by everything they found to be terrible. (Protip: There was sooo much suckage …)
Then in keeping with the sci-fi theme, the guys get busy counting down the best ten films featuring aliens in an essential role. Surprisingly, this ends up being one of the more even-tempered and agreeable Countdowns – at least until Wayne tries to shoe-horn some extremely dodgy films into his Honourable Mentions.
The boys also Re-Count a number of lists and bits of feedback from listeners covering the last couple of episodes, and recently missed segment Check It Out makes a return.
#PodernFamily promos spun in this episode are for Pat and Jason Have a Podcast @patandjason – check their Season 1 Finale episode to hear Paul weighing in with a submitted audio clip – and the great Moviesaurus Rex podcast @MRexPodcast. Hooch and Tom give their take on all things film in their highly amusing show, and plans are afoot to have them on The Countdown in future.

This week's MASSIVE topic is the best comedy series of all time! And as if sensing the chaos that was to come, Paul and Wayne invited those most excellent gentlemen, Gareth and Sam, from the Open All Powers Podcast to guest on the show.
You can therefore expect a show filled with MORE of everything that has you Countdowning every week. (Yes, that's now a word). More laughs, more nostalgic reminiscing, more left-field choices from Wayne, and more niggling-agro between your regular co-hosts. Gareth and Sam do a bang up job of being a part of the madness, and even have some very polite feedback about the show's theme tune for the boys to consider...
Please help us thank @openallpowers by listening to their show at www.openallpowers.weebly.com and heading on over to iTunes to rate and review them @ https://itunes.apple.com/au/podcast/open-all-powers-podcast/id964333927?mt=2

Much to Wayne's consternation and outright objection, the guys this week count down the best 10 horror films of all time. Yes, after losing the Oscars bet (see Episode 48 for the result), Wayne makes good on his pledge to go with a show chosen by Paul, and of course, this meant the show was always going to be about his beloved horror genre. Recognising this could be something of a problem, the boys therefore invited along another horror lover, Jarrod, to guest host the show.
The three start by reviewing new release The Conjuring 2, directed by local boy made good, James Wan. Then it's time to end Wayne's misery watching horror film after horror film as he offers a list which non-horror movie lovers might very well find something worthwhile on; while Paul and Jarrod bring the genre cred with their mix of old school and hardcore horror. And, to be fair, Wayne even manages to give a good account of himself - right up until he talks about Demon Knight (1995) as being "really scary"...

On this week's show, Paul and Wayne call upon good friend and driving enthusiast Christian to assist them in counting down the best ever movie car chases. Of course, feathers get ruffled, Wayne makes some hard to believe calls, and other than with regard to a certain film featuring a couple of Not So Good Guys, Christian joins with Paul in making incredulous noises and being told to eat non-mentionable parts of Wayne's anatomy.
As if that's not enough, Wayne and Paul squeeze in a non-related review of the newly released sequel, Now You See Me 2, from director Jon M. Chu.

Grow out those 'fros, whip on your fave tan flares and join the boys as they this week check out Shane Black's latest offering, The Nice Guys. Do they get down and boogie with the film's groovy vibe or do they get burned by a bummer of a flick?
Then they get into one of the best countdowns yet as they list their favourite cult films, with Paul in particular, reveling in the less than mainstream subject matter. There's also a plethora of contributions to the show as this is a topic that many had to have their say on!

TWO major reviews this week as Wayne and Paul get busy at the cinema (no, not in that way!). First up, they talk the comedy sequel Bad Neighbours 2, once again directed by one of Wayne's faves, Nicholas Stoller. Then they review the latest in the X-Men universe, X-Men: Apocalypse, with Bryan Singer continuing in the director's chair. Find out which the guys liked better and did either one surpass expectations? BOTH reviews are SPOILER-FREE (discussing nothing more than what you see in the trailers)!
Then it's straight into one of the biggest count downs ever as Paul and Wayne talk the Top 10 action scenes of all time. Things are relatively harmonious until Wayne tries to shoe-horn in a film from less than a month ago, triggering Consternation Paul, that in turn brings out Go-For-My-Balls Wayne. Who will you agree with?!
