Classic Countdown: Top 10 Disney Animated Films Oct 13, 2023

Show notes

While Paul is away in the US of A, the listeners have voted for two classic episodes they wanted to hear again, and this is the result.

So enjoy this throw back to early in late in the fourth year of the show where Justin and Krissy from the So I Married a Movie Geek podcast joined the show to pit their Top 10 Disney Animated Films list against the same from the boys. There's also a reprise of Wayne's infamous twerking butt story from the time he visited an adult store, so young ears be warned!

Wayne and Paul will be back next week with all new episodes, so rest assured The Countdown will continue ...

Top 10 Last 10: Paul is in the US of A Edition Oct 06, 2023

Show notes

Countdown #443

The popular Top 10 Last 10 format finally returns - since Wayne has, with pain-staking effort, gotten around to watching 10 extra films not previously covered on the show.

As always, the boys rank these ten films from worst to best, letting you know when they cross the line from avoid like the plague to recommended. Thrillers, comedies, horrors, wide-releases and smaller straight to video fare are all covered in this one, and there's at least one title the boys wildly disagree about.

So plug in those headphones, settle down with a glass of your favourite, and get ready for almost 20 mini-film reviews as The Countdown continues ...

Top 10 Video Games of All Time! Sep 22, 2023

Show notes

Countdown #442

So, video games have done pretty well for themselves over the last 40 plus years. And given they've been consumers of games across most platforms and many devices, Wayne and Paul this week decided to take the plunge and countdown their Top 10 favourite video games of all time.

From arcade machines to PC straining massive titles, the boys are covering it all! (Well, not all, that would be impossible in a less than 80 minute podcast, but you get what we're driving at.) First person shooters, real time strategies, role playing games, sandbox games and even third person shooters all get a look in this week, while Paul and Wayne have a few laughs, especially in relation to some of the "classic" games on these lists.

So boot up, plug your controllers in, and get ready to pwn some n00bs (namely Wayne and Paul), as The Countdown continues ...

Blue Beetle review Sep 19, 2023

Show notes

The soft launch of the next iteration of the DC Film Universe is finally here in Australia, so the best part of a month after the rest of the world chose to ignore Blue Beetle, Paul and Wayne are front and centre at the cinema to bring you their thoughts.

Is there more FAMILY in this film than even Vin Diesel could shake a fist at? How much neon does it take for Wayne to get all hot under the collar? And is Susan Sarandon the worst villain to "grace" the DCEU since whatever the hell Cara Delevingne was doing in Suicide Squad? Learn the answers to all these questions and more, as The Countdown continues ... Though, please note, the reviews will be taking a break for the next month while Paul and his family hit the States for a holiday.

Top 10 Saturday Morning Cartoons Sep 15, 2023

Show notes

Countdown #441 Cartoons rocked, didn't they? Back when you were young, and you were allowed to control the TV remote for those few short hours on Saturday morning, life was full of endless possibilities and school was oh so far away. That's the mindset Paul and Wayne are this week tapping into it as they countdown their favourite cartoons from when they were young - which means there's plenty of outdated jokes, many theme songs, and, of course, some inappropriate talk about which character the boys would rather bang. Find out who takes that particular title (of wrongness) as The Countdown continues ...

The Nun II and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Mutant Mayhem reviews Sep 12, 2023

Show notes

This week, Wayne is too much of a wuss to see The Nun II and Paul is acting manager at his regular job so doesn't have the time to see two films in a week. Wayne, therefore, sees Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtlees; Mutant Mayhem all on his own.

The end result is that each host is reviewing one film in a completely NON-SPOILER way to help you determine whether you should part with your heard-earned to see one, the other, or both. Now if only Wayne could keep his potty-mouth in check ...

Find out just how bad that potty mouth is as The Countdown continues ...

Denzel and Antoine have clearly decided they want a holiday on the Sicilian coast, but to ensure they don't have to pay for the whole thing themselves, they decide to tack on making a movie. And that movie is The Equalizer 3.
