The Countdown ·

2023/10/06

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

2023/09/22

Countdown #442 So, video games have done pretty well for themselves over the last 40 plus years.

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.)

Blue Beetle review

The Countdown ·

2023/09/19

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

Top 10 Saturday Morning Cartoons

2023/09/15

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tapping into it as they countdown their favourite cartoons from when they were young - which means there's plenty of outdated jokes, many theme songs, and, of course, some inappropriate talk about which character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 Nun II and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Mutant...

The Countdown ·

2023/09/12

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.

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. Will Robert McCall finally meet his match? Or will he continue to ensure all are equal when it comes to violent endings?

Massively big sharks are back in the latest big budget sequel to splash across our cinemas screens. But is Meg 2: The Trench worth venturing out to the cinema for? Does it contain all the fun that you hope for in a killer shark film? Or is it another wet fart of a sequel that has no business making it to screen in this format? Let's put it this way.

Top 10 Funniest Jokes

Countdown #436 The concept episode. Beloved by creators; dreaded by fans. The moment when a TV show decides to do something experimental and not at all in keeping with the norm. It's chance for all those involved with a show to stretch their wings, and maybe set up some back door options for spin-offs. In a podcast's case, a concept episode usually means the hosts need a break from the norm or want to shake things up a bit. And like the TV shows we would often lament as wasting an episode on

Gran Turismo review

2023/08/08

When is a video game adaptation not really a video game adaptation? And how meta does something have to be to be really meta (when it's not a company name)? These are the questions the guys are left to ponder having been to see a very early screening of Gran Turismo. For his part, Paul is amazed this is based on a true story, while Wayne is amazed by the fact that he liked it ... Find out just how much, as The Countdown continues ...

And to kick things off, they're going with a genre near and dear to Paul's heart: Sci-Fi!
