<p> </p>
<p>A long time ago, in a galaxy exactly like this one, three podcasters recorded their regular crossover event in which the American joined the two Australians to talk the best films of the previous calendar year.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>But the stars were not aligned that day, my friends. For the American had technical difficulties and his end of the conversation was lost to the Dark Movie Overl- sorry, wrong show - to the ether, forever. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>It took many moons until the Australians felt ready to again scale the mountain that is this massive topic, knowing they would be doing so without their American friend. But here, now, eventually, &lt;i&gt;finally&lt;/i&gt;, that episode is yours to enjoy.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>But while doing so, spare a thought for the American in this story. Maybe go over and give his final season of <a href='https://bingemovies.podbean.com/'>Binge Movies</a> a listen - one of the Australians did, after all, feature on the most recent ranking episode - the supposedly second last in that show's existence.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Or, if you're ready for some blood and gore, hit up that same American-Australian combo with ANOTHER (lovely) American over on the soon to be completed second season of <a href='https://theslashers.podbean.com/'>The Slashers</a>.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>But whatever way you cut it, get ready to hear about the very best films that last year had to offer. In mid-March of the following year (but whatever) ...</p>

<p>Do you have a friend who refuses to watch horror films even though you know there are many great films in that genre? Or perhaps you have a child or a niece or nephew who is just getting to that age where they're developing an interest in horror films? Maybe you want to introduce your significant other to this most awesome genre, but aren't sure where to start because you don't want to be over-eager and blow it with something too full on?

<p> </p>
<p>Well, the boys have just the episode for you. And it's a classic in every sense as Paul and Wayne come at their lists in polar opposite directions, but regardless, will guide you on what to watch when it comes to gateway horror films!</p>

                                    <description><![CDATA[<p>Countdown #503</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Just when you thought it was safe to peer back into your podcatching app ... the boys are back!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Sure, it's been a hot minute since the last Countdown ep, and yes, everyone did their most anticipated films of 2025 about three months ago. But by holding out for those three months, not only have Paul and Wayne distilled their list down to nine months' worth of films, but they've also had time for their anticipation to GROW, so you can really feel the passion in this one. 
</p>

<p>Sure, it's been a hot minute since the last Countdown ep, and yes, everyone did their most anticipated films of 2025 about three months ago. But by holding out for those three months, not only have Paul and Wayne distilled their list down to nine months' worth of films, but they've also had time for their anticipation to GROW, so you can really feel the passion in this one. <br>

<p> </p>
<p>And it begins with this PSA regarding the very worst of the worst films from 2024 that the lads saw.</p>

<p>So, pop in your ear buds or have your car stereo bluetooth from your phone, because The Countdown is back, baby, and there's plenty to say about these abominations of cinema! </p>

<p> </p>
<p>... ONE ...</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Here it is, valued listener.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>The final episode of the (weekly) podcast. And it is a fittingly massive one (that's what she said).</p>
<p> </p>
<p>In this finale, the boys countdown their top 10 film goodbyes for, well, reasons.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Plus there's is a huge amount of listener feedback, messages from other podcasters and emails galore to celebrate the end of 9 and three quarters years of (almost) weekly podcasting.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>To everyone who has supported the show - from the incredible patrons, to the other podcasters who guested and had Paul on their shows, and, of course to everyone who has listened, fed back to and shared the show - thank you for all that you have done. The Countdown would never have lasted as long as it did without your invaluable contributions.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>And don't forget, the release of Reap: The Motion Picture is imminent ...</p>
<p> </p>
<p>... as the (weekly) countdown reaches ...</p>
<p> </p>
<p>... ZERO.</p>

<p>The penultimate episode of the (weekly) podcast covers the best and worst of television in 2024, as far as Paul and Wayne have seen it. Two lists, one from bad to worst, and the other from good to great.</p>

<p> </p>
<p>Somehow, after 499 episodes, one of the hosts (Wayne) forgets that's the way things have always been done and mashes the two lists together, so he goes straight from worst to best. It takes the other host (Paul) about 40 minutes to realise this, and from there, chaos ensues ...</p>

<p> </p>
<p>... THREE ...</p>
<p> </p>
<p>This week the guys get personal as the end of the (weekly) show looms large. They're talking the films that personally spoke to them and in some way, shape or form, moulded their lives into the people they currently are.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Everything from childhood cinema experiences through to films that determined artistic endeavours and shaped careers are discussed.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Beyond that, be sure to stick around for a truly fantastic Pop 10 segment in which the listeners give personal accounts of films that determined who they are!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>The end is nigh, everyone. So if you'd like to be a part of the show before it ends, hit us up in the Facebook Listener Community or send us an email at <a href='mailto:thecountdownpodcast@gmail.com'>thecountdownpodcast@gmail.com</a> with any thoughts you have about the show and what fond memories you may have of it.</p>
<p> </p>

<p>After 496 attempts to countdown topics in order of awesomeness so you don't have to, Paul and Wayne are once again arguing about a loose brief. Of course, Wayne is the one contorting reality to fit into his very, very "flexible" list, and as always, it's Paul (and by extension, The Soundboard) taking umbrage, making for a classic episode of the show with much bad language and inappropriate humour.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Oh, and they talk about some great TV shows that have aired since the podcast began back in March 2015.</p>

                                    <description><![CDATA[<p>Countdown #494</p>
<p> </p>
<p>... SEVEN ...</p>
<p> </p>
<p>It's bigger than a very big thing on the biggest day of it's big, BIG life. It's HUGE. It's m-a-s-s-i-v-e! It's the final Show Vs Show episode for the (weekly) podcast and it stars two of the podcast's very best friends and most generous supporters, B-Dizzle and David Powell of the <a href='https://www.poddymouthradio.com/'>Poddy Mouth Radio network</a>.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>They join Wayne and Paul to countdown the Top 10 WTAF Movie moments - moments in which WTF was uttered aloud or at least represented by hanging jaws and incredulous, wide eyed surprise. Twists, unexpected comedic moments, anger inducing decision - all and more are covered as the two shows compare and contrast their lists.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>So jump on board and be prepared to be surprised, as The Countdown continues (for now) ...</p>
<p> </p>

<p> </p>
<p>... NINE ...</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Do you have a few films that you love and yet which, to your befuddlement, failed to make any kind of splash at the box-office? In fact, they went so poorly, they belly flopped into that box-office pool and lost approximately all the money?</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Paul and Wayne most certainly do. And this week they're counting their ten favourite films which completely tanked at the box office, in some cases destroying or at least adversely affecting the careers of those responsible for the film.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>How many crossovers will the lads have? How many times will Paul get to augment his trademark "LOW!" with the Soundboard? And will Wayne finally snap at said use of that same Soundboard?</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Learn the answers to all those questions and more, as The Countdown continues ...</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Note: Paul misspoke re Big Trouble in LC. Of course it had a domestic box-office release; it just did not have an international one according to Box Office Mojo.</p>

<p> </p>
<p>It's barely the spooky season and Wayne is suffering in his jocks (again!) for your amusement, this time by doing the horror-adjacent topic of the Top 10 Stephen King Adaptations.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Of course, another fantastic podcast was required to make up for Wayne's many, many shortcomings, and this time that role is filled by John and Lloyd from the fantastic <a href='https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-pint-a-pop-culture-podcast/id1231221600'>The Pint: A Pop Culture podcast. </a></p>
<p> </p>
<p>Lloyd is an old-school King fan (he has the tattoo to prove it), so how will he fare dealing with Wayne's lack of "Kingliness"? Or is there a bigger shock in store for he and John? Could it be Paul who will make the left-field calls?</p>
<p> </p>
<p>There's only one way to find out, and it isn't by boofing spiders ... as The Countdown continues ...</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Please thanks Lloyd and John by checking out their awesome show ASAP!</p>

<p> </p>
<p>The Countdown marks the beginning of the "spooky season" by convincing Wayne he could do such an episode if it was about the WORST horror films. Namely, the Worst 10 Horror Films of All Time!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>But for such a massive topic, the boys needed some help. And it came in the form of the magnificent <a href='https://www.sowizardpodcast.com/'>So Wizard Podcast</a>! Joey returns and this time, instead of Markellus, he brought with him another horror hating podcaster, Aubrey!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>What films will Wayne and Aubrey go to town on and will the horror fans (aka Paul and Joey) be able to take it? Just how many rants will Paul go on? And can Wayne actually talk about horror films without crapping on the whole genre?</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Find out as The Countdown continues ...</p>
<p> </p>
<p>And please thanks our guests by checking out <a href='https://www.sowizardpodcast.com/'>So Wizard</a> wherever you can find great podcasts!</p>

<p>The Countdown marks the beginning of the "spooky season" by convincing Wayne he could do such an episode if it was about the WORST horror films. Namely, the Worst 10 Horror Films of All Time!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>But for such a massive topic, the boys needed some help. And it came in the form of the magnificent <a href='https://www.sowizardpodcast.com/'>So Wizard Podcast</a>! Joey returns and this time, instead of Markellus, he brought with him another horror hating podcaster, Aubrey!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>What films will Wayne and Aubrey go to town on and will the horror fans (aka Paul and Joey) be able to take it? Just how many rants will Paul go on? And can Wayne actually talk about horror films without crapping on the whole genre?</p>

From the disappointment of Alien 3 to the bamboozling direction Ridley Scott chose with the last two films, it's fair to say no old-school fan has been especially happy. So the question becomes, can Fede Alvarez do what many others before him could not and deliver a genuinely good Alien sequel?</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Paul and Wayne certainly hope so, and they were front and centre very early in this film's release to bring you their view on whether this is the beginning of a new dawn for the Alien franchise or if it is just more of the same hope-sucking drivel?</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Find out whether you should be purchasing your ticket to Alien: Romulus, as The Countdown continues...</p>

<p> </p>
<p>Wayne loves the guy and he's the flavour of the month as the messiah Marvel promised, so the boys decide to count down the very best performances from one Robert Downey Jr.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>It takes about seventeen seconds for Wayne to debate the nature of this list, and only about five minutes more for Paul to reveal he's a bit down on the Downey and doesn't actually rate that many of his movies.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Can Wayne cope with this revelation? Who won't have the film that won him an Academy Award on their list? And is this the last performance-related count down the show will ever do?</p>

<p> </p>
<p>What's the discussion everyone who's a film buff has? If it's not "What's your favourite film?", it most certainly is "What film would you recommend everyone should see?". It's a truly tough question to answer, but fret no more, film buffs. Paul and Wayne have your backs this week, with 20 films (actually 18, there are two crossovers) that you can now say to people when you're asked that question.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Of course, this list is fairly personal as the lads attempt to justify their choices, and the Ep goes in some fairly unpredictable directions, at one point even becoming a psycho-educational session about emotions.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>But don't let that put you off! Rest assured, this is still an Ep that Wayne is co-hosting so there will be plenty of crude references and borderline inappropriate humour.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Which is to say, more of what you have come to expect, as The Countdown continues ...</p>

<p>Music returns to the Countdown this week as Paul and Wayne square off over their favourite Pop songs of the 1980s! Wayne decides he should acknowledge his perspective on what constitutes Pop music is wrong (or, you know, decides to work within Paul's more specific parameters because it was Paul's birthday this last week), making for what should be a very pleasant and melodic episode.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>But no! It doesn't take long before Wayne is busting out some questionable choices, only for Wayne to lose it laughing at Paul's number one. So maybe the question shouldn't be who has the best list this week, but rather, who has the worst...?</p>

This week the lads are all about those performers who are second-billed or lower and how they sometimes shine just a little more than the person with their name on top of the poster. In other words, this countdown is all about co-stars who stole the film (or, if you're Wayne, show).
 
With little to no agreement on the parameters of what constitutes a co-star, this one is primed to be an old-fashioned banter-fest. Or have the boys matured somewhat as the podcast winds down toward Episode 500?

<p> </p>
<p>It's been a long time coming, but the Show v Show format returns this week as Paul and Wayne welcome Julio and Alex from The Contrarians podcast to do battle re a Top 10 topic. And that topic as nominated by The Contrarians is the Top 10 Memorable Moviegoing Experiences.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>As you can imagine, not everything memorable is positive. Nor is it always PG. So strap yourselves in for some outlandish stories involving everything from anger in the cinema to, well, unexpected most pleasure (make of that what you will).</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Whatever the reaction, this monster episode will be sure to remind you of some of your memorable experiences at the cinema/theatre, as The Countdown continues ...</p>

<p> </p>
<p>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.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>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.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>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?</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Learn the answers to all these questions and oh so much more, as The Countdown continues ...</p>

<p>Okay, so this one starts out as one thing ... and ends up as half of it.</p>

<p>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.</p>

<p> </p>

<p class="public-DraftStyleDefault-block public-DraftStyleDefault-ltr"> </p>

Will Po out geezer a cockney gangster? And can Guy Ritchie work in a hand to hand fight scene worthy of the Dragon Warrior?

                                    <description><![CDATA[Countdown #464
 

The boys this week return to determining who is the superior actor/star/and all round person when they pit Matt Damon's filmography against Ben Affleck's.
 


Though reportedly best friends through most of their lives, such sentiments mean nothing when the chance to be crowned the superior Hollywood star crops up on The Countdown. So expect nothing short of a bloodbath as Wayne gets behind Matt, while Paul has Ben's back.
 


Who will triumph? Will Armageddon feature? And does Ben get any credit for having two of the more attractive Jennifer's on his CV?
 


Learn the answers to all these questions and so much more, as The Countdown continues ...

Has his Waynus seen the light? Will he apologise and retract his previous criticisms while acknowledging how amazing Dune: Part 2 is?</p>
<p class="public-DraftStyleDefault-block public-DraftStyleDefault-ltr"> </p>

And what about Paul? Is he as high on the second part of Paul Atreides' story? Or has his passion for Denis Villeneuve's epic sci-fi saga cooled to some degree?

It's Wayne's favourite genre, but he can't remember what films he chose for the first ever Countdown back in 2015, so hopefully no-one else will either ...
 


Join the lads as they countdown the top 10 Spy Films of all time, updating their lists from that long ago day when The Countdown was little more than a glint in Paul's eye.
 


How will things have changed? Will there be any films from the last 9 years added to the list? And does Matthew Vaughn get a look in with his brand new blockbuster, Argylle?
 


Learn the answers to all these questions and more, as The Countdown continues ...

<p class="public-DraftStyleDefault-block public-DraftStyleDefault-ltr">The first big-budget, major release of 2024 is here in the form of Argylle, and no-one is more excited for its release than Wayne - he who had it as his most anticipated film of 2024.</p>

So with a poor box office return and fairly savage reviews from numerous critics, what will Wayne make of it? Does Paul find more here to enjoy than one might expect? And can it be that Matthew Vaughn has De-Palmaed?

Rock and the 1980s. How much more iconic does music get?
 


Big hair, big drum sets and big personalities. To say nothing of the classic songs.
 


So join Paul and Wayne as they attempt the impossible: To distill an entire decade's worth of amazing music into just ten songs as they countdown their Top 10 Rock Songs of the '80s. 
 


Will Wayne tear himself away ballads, soft and yacht rock? And can Paul fly the flag effectively for Aussie rock?

During that spot, to raise money for the fight against cancer, we pledged to watch horrendous films that you chose for us. And being the wonderfully, generous people you are, you supported the cause.
 
Those films that we pledged to view were in Wayne's case, Terrifier (2016), and in Paul's, Mama Mia! (2008). This is where we honour that pledge and you get to hear us suffer in the name of charity!
 
Thank you for your support that day, and now enjoy the fruits of that support while Paul is (hopefully) skiing down some Japanese mountains.

Those films that we pledged to view were in Wayne's case, Terrifier (2016), and in Paul's, Mama Mia! (2008). This is where we honour that pledge and you get to hear us suffer in the name of charity!
 
Thank you for your support that day, and now enjoy the fruits of that support while Paul is (hopefully) skiing down some Japanese mountains.

The review of 2023 is over and it's time to look ahead at what's to come in 2024 as the boys lay out their most anticipated films of the coming year.
 


Just what is getting the guys excited in terms of the release calendar? Will Paul again be sucked into the vortex that is the Alien franchise fandom? Can Wayne even make a list when there are so few superhero films being released in 2024? And where, exactly, will Furiosa land on these lists?

January is here and with it, the films that studios like to dump into theatres, hoping against hope that they might make some dollars.
 

One such film is the new Jason Statham film as directed by David "Don't Blame Me for Suicide Squad" Ayer and, well, it's making money. As such, the boys considered it their civic duty to see this one and report back on it to you, dear listener ...
 
Have the lads been bamboozled into seeing a poor film&gt; Or have Statham and Ayer combned for that rarest of rare, rare treats: A quality January film? Find out as The Countdown continues ...

                                    <description><![CDATA[Countdown #457
 


Here it is. The biggest Ep of the year detailing the very best films of the previous year requires an incredible guest. And that incredible guest is Jason from the <a href='https://bingemovies.podbean.com/'>Binge Movies Podcast</a>. It also requires a lengthy discussion about the merits (or perhaps, lack thereof) of these films, making for one of the longest Eps in The Countdown's history. 
 
(Julio would be proud; Gerald, less so.)
 


Get on board, then, for this in-depth discussion of the best releases to hit cinemas across the year that was 2023. Enjoy the surprising comedies, the frightening horrors, the well-acted dramas and the shocking superhero films that make this most coveted of lists. 
 


And as if that's not enough, enjoy Wayne as he somehow underlines the major message from one of the biggest releases of the year - a moment that threatens to completely break this Episode in two ...
 


... as The Countdown (hopefully) continues ...
 


Please thank Jason by checking out Binge Movies or, heck, head on over to <a href='https://podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/the-slashers/id1706673566'>The Slashers</a> podcast where both Jason, Paul and Megan from Spoilerpiece Theatre, join forces to create a show all about the golden age of the Slasher film.

                                    <description><![CDATA[Countdown #455
 



The boys, this week, complete their look back at television through 2023 with a countdown of their favourite shows of the year! It was a banner year for television as evidenced by both Paul and Wayne having ten shows and honourable mentions to talk about, making for a jam packed episode.
 
Wayne starts things off controversially and some might suggest his list never recovers, while Paul, meanwhile, stays pretty true to form - both in terms of his list and in keeping Wayne honest with some of his hot takes.
 
In other words, it's what you've come to expect from the podcast, but with plenty of TV to keep you occupied through the early stages of 2024.
 
Speaking of, Happy New Year to all ... as The Countdown continues ...

And yet, one of the boys quite liked Lost Kingdom and the other goes to town on it. Which is whom? And does anyone care given this is turning into another box office bomb?

Having watched enough of the "idiot box" to split the traditional Best and Worst of the previous year's television into two episodes, the boys this week countdown their least favourite shows of the year that was 2023.
 


There's plenty of questions asked of Marvel, while Paul takes aim at a master of horror's latest foray into television, and Wayne, incredibly, has harsh words for a reality show based around MILFs!
 


So join Wayne and Paul to find out what you should NOT be spending time watching this holiday season, as The Countdown continues ...

<p>Will Wayne appreciate the visual flair in Rebel Moon? Can Paul forgive the short-comings of its script? And, at the end of the day, is Disney - in the place of George Lucas - going to sue themselves a Zach?</p>

                                    <description><![CDATA[Countdown #453
It's Top 10 Last 10 time, as the boys look back on the latter parts of 2023 and mini-review 10 films each that are first time watches, but otherwise have no linking criterion. Of course, this is The Countdown, so:
 
- said films are ranked from worst to best
- Wayne says inappropriate things
- Paul Soundboards it up in response to said inappropriate things, while honouring the late, great Andre Braugher; and
- there is more French musketeer action than you can poke a sword at. (To be fair this one is not a usual staple of the show, but worth pointing out nonetheless.) 
 
In other words, jump on board for a guide on what to watch and avoid this festive season, as The Countdown continues .... 
 
Oh and Merry Christmas, you filthy animals (to those who celebrate).

<p class="public-DraftStyleDefault-block public-DraftStyleDefault-ltr">Do you remember that film about a bunch of stop motion chickens pulling off a Great Escape-ish escape from the chicken farm where they'll all eventually become dinner? Well, Netflix certainly does, and they've invested in bringing the sequel to your television screens some 23 years later.</p>
<p class="public-DraftStyleDefault-block public-DraftStyleDefault-ltr"> </p>

Paul and Wayne have checked it out and at least one of them is not chicken in voicing their disdain for the film.

It's December and the releases to theatre has slowed up (a least for a week), so Paul and Wayne have turned to Netflix for new content, and were pleased to find the hardly advertised "Leave the World Behind" waiting to be reviewed.
 


Julia Roberts joins the suavest actor there is , Mahershala Ali, and Ethan Hawke, to bring this apocalyptic thriller helmed by the Mr Robot guy and based on some very short novel no-one had ever heard of before, to your couches as organised by the stellar people at Netlfix.

<p> </p>

Is this the episode that ends the show?
 
That's what regular listeners might be asking as Paul flies very close to the sun by letting Wayne off the podcast leash to discuss the Top 10 Films That Would Not Get Made Today!
 
Truly, this one is worth listening to just to hear Wayne's description of his Number 7 - a film which Paul simply cannot believe exists (even if it was made back in the '50s). 
 

<p class="public-DraftStyleDefault-block public-DraftStyleDefault-ltr">And beyond that, there's plenty of the usual banter, questionable jokes, and cameos from The Soundboard to prove the boys are back in the same room and all is again fine in the world.</p>

<p class="public-DraftStyleDefault-block public-DraftStyleDefault-ltr">John Woo explodes back into the cinemas of the western world with Silent Night - a revenge action thriller which, somehow, neither Paul nor Wayne realised was dialogue-less until some 20 minutes into the movie.</p>
<p class="public-DraftStyleDefault-block public-DraftStyleDefault-ltr"> </p>

Being big fans of the Woo and with a kick-ass and bloodthirsty trailer, the boys were all kinds of excited about an action Christmas movie following in the foot-steps of Die Hard and last year's Violent Night. But did Silent Night fill their stockings with the Woo-laden goodies? Or was one of the hosts very Grinchian about his experience of this film?

 Countdown #450 
 
It's the 450th Countdown this week, and the boys are celebrating by taking aim at Marvel's Phase 4 and ranking all the films and television shows from it. Or at least Paul is. Wayne continues to defend most forms of mediocrity. Though at least some of that may be attributable to him being late low with an illness in the week leading up to this recording. Which means the guys aren't in the same room, and worse, no Soundboard for such an important occasion *cue anguish the world over*
 

But that won't stop the guys from doing their level best to disagree, banter and entertain - something they've been striving to do for night on nine years now. 
 

There's no better time than to join the Countdown ... unless you're a hardcore MCU fan. In which case, see you next week ... as The Countdown continues ...
 

Check out the show's first draft of a website for your one-stop shop for all things related to The Countdown.
 
But if you want more specific directions, find so many more Countdowns - all the way back to Episode 40! - on our Podbean site.
Join The Countdown Podcast Listener Community on Facebook so you can interact more directly with Paul and Wayne and vote in the weekly poll for who has the best list!

This week Wayne is wearing his wussy-whiny pants and refusing to see a horror film, so Paul ventures to the cinema with his brother to see Eli Roth's Grindhouse inspired flick, Thanksgiving.
 


Wayne calls Paul and people who enjoy such films as "sickos", but Paul bravely soldiers on to bring you a review of this brand new release, just in time for the North American holiday.
 


Can Paul see past some gory kills when rating a film? And can Wayne get that such things may appeal to some? Find out as The Countdown continues ...

<p>Countdown #448</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Find out more (any maybe too much?) about the boys this week as they countdown the top 10 books which have somehow changed their lives. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>As you might imagine, this opens the door for some interesting discussions about turning points in the lads' lives, while also diving into a medium of learning and entertainment which has barely been touched up on 447 previous countdowns. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Part of this was because Wayne was reluctant to expose his lack of reading to the world, but the reality is, he has plenty to say, and most of it - for once - is not profanity-laced calls of a ludicrous nature :P </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Paul, meanwhile, is in his element - though it turns out his element is far more fantastical than Wayne's, in what might be an unexpected and intriguing turn of events for long term listeners.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>So get on board for this different (and epic!) show, as The Countdown continues ...</p>

                                    <description><![CDATA[<p>Episode #447</p>
<p> </p>


Wayne gets to dine out this week on his favourite music genre - Pop! - while Paul suffers in his jocks just a little bit as they countdown the Top 10 Pop Songs of the 21st Century.
 


As if Paul's discomfort isn't reason enough to listen, Wayne somehow manages to stick to the brief(!), meaning all his choices are actual Pop songs. He still defends his idiot choices from the '90s episode though, so don't worry, there's still plenty of banter to enjoy.
 


Can Paul conjure a half decent list? Will Wayne find ways to reference John Mayer at every turn?
 


Learn the answers to all these questions and more, as The Countdown continues ...

<p> </p>

It's Halloween, so it's time for The Countdown to bring the horror!
 
Against all the odds, Paul has somehow convinced Wayne to get coated in (figurative) blood and countdown the top 10 goriest film scenes of all time! 
 
As regular listeners might imagine, Wayne takes to this challenge like a cat to water, moaning and complaining the whole time, while regularly reminding Paul and other horror fans like him how messed up they are. Of course, Paul delights in calling out Wayne as a precious snowflake and rags on his choices, meaning the stage is set for a classic episode of the show. 
 
But, please, be WARNED: Some of the descriptions in this Ep are extremely R-rated and listeners of a sensitive disposition might be too grossed out to continue listening.

Countdown #444
 
Paul has returned from the US of A, and one of the places he visited with his family was the infamous Sin City, aka Las Vegas. So the boys decide to build on that trip by counting down their top 10 films set in or about Vegas, which of course, opens the door to Wayne telling a story about a strip club he once visited there. 
 


Beyond that, expect a whole lot of Nicolas Cage, more Elvis Presleys than you can poke a stick at, and a reminder to always bet on black, as The Countdown resumes!

But it's been pretty bleak as far as cinematic releases go, unless you're a horror film fan. So Wayne has taken an extended time out and Paul has gone to work even while holidaying through the US of A for your listening pleasure, and reports back re two of the bigger releases this Halloween season, with his reviews of Saw X and The Exorcist: Believer.
 
Is either (lega-)sequel worthwhile? Should you aim to be grossed out/scared this Halloween? Find out in these two reviews as The Countdown returns!

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.

<p class="public-DraftStyleDefault-block public-DraftStyleDefault-ltr">So, video games have done pretty well for themselves over the last 40 plus years.

<p class="public-DraftStyleDefault-block public-DraftStyleDefault-ltr"> </p>

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.)

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 ...

<p class="public-DraftStyleDefault-block public-DraftStyleDefault-ltr">Something a bit different this week as the Paul and Wayne could not find a single thing to review that they could agree on or had time to see. </p>
<p class="public-DraftStyleDefault-block public-DraftStyleDefault-ltr"> </p>

So Wayne graciously gives Paul the mic to talk about an upcoming side project he has been working on. Accepting an invitation from <a href='https://bingemovies.podbean.com/'>Binge Movies</a>' Jason to join him in celebrating the Slasher sub-genre of horror films, Paul has been watching dozens of slasher films in preparation. 
 
The show will cover the golden era of the Slasher film craze - from 1980 to 1984 - as Jason and Paul take a carefully curated list of Slashers from each year to form their "Blood Pool". From this pool, they'll give several awards each week ... and argue about many of them in the process :D
 
The show will run for just seven episodes and will commence in mid-September, culminating in the final episode's release in time for Halloween 2023. 
 
If this sound like your thing, keep your eyes peeled as episode number one will be available very soon. Then once you've listened, hit up Paul and Jason with your reviews and feedback!
 
Stick around at the end of this little interview for a cool trailer for the show that Jason cut together ...

<p> </p>

Look, Paul and Wayne are sorry about last week, okay?
 
It was a bad idea to try and tell jokes over a podcast and you all knew it. (At least, that's what the download numbers are telling us.) So the boys are apologising by going back to what the masses crave - a television-centric episode! 
 
And what a TV episode it is, as Wayne and Paul take on the mammoth task of counting down the very best shows of the entire twentieth century!
 
To what will be the surprise of absolutely no-one, these lists are latter century heavy, but fear not! Both guys (and Wayne in particular) have some classics on their list, as most everything from dramas through sci-fi by way of comedies are covered.

<p class="public-DraftStyleDefault-block public-DraftStyleDefault-ltr">Massively big sharks are back in the latest big budget sequel to splash across our cinemas screens.

<p> </p>

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 these crazy ideas, the podcast concept episode doesn't always work.
 
With all that in mind, welcome to the Top 10 Funniest Jokes episode of The Countdown! It's short, it's very much not sweet, and it contains some serious dad jokes as well as some objectionable humour. It also features a heap of submissions from the listeners, so it's not all Wayne and Paul's fault.
 
Oh, who are we kidding? It's Wayne's fault.

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 ...

<p class="public-DraftStyleDefault-block public-DraftStyleDefault-ltr"> </p>
<p class="public-DraftStyleDefault-block public-DraftStyleDefault-ltr">This week the boys are commencing a new series of episodes that will bob up every few weeks for the rest of 2023, celebrating the best films of particular genres through the 21st Century.</p>

And to kick things off, they're going with a genre near and dear to Paul's heart: Sci-Fi!
 
Given recent weeks, it might be very surprising to learn that not only did Wayne meet this week's brief admirably, but that the co-hosts are generally very agreeable and happy with each other in discussing each other's films. Does that mean some of the "magic" is gone from this episode, or is a less argy-bargy listen exactly what people like (from time to time)?

<p class="public-DraftStyleDefault-block public-DraftStyleDefault-ltr">Can a film about a toy that was "just for girls" when it was released in 1959 entertain two middle aged male reviewers who were bemused by how much pink was being worn at the incredible premiere screening? And further to that, can Greta Gerwig do what even Tom Cruise could not and set the box office alight this "summer" season?</p>

The theatre just got a whole lot more colourful as Barbie opened across the world to much fanfare and positive reviews. The boys were there, front and centre, to see it, and here bring you their instant reaction review, recorded just minutes after walking out from catching the film.
 
Can a film about a toy that was "just for girls" when it was released in 1959 entertain two middle aged male reviewers who were bemused by how much pink was being worn at the incredible premiere screening? And further to that, can Greta Gerwig do what even Tom Cruise could not and set the box office alight this "summer" season?

<p>The incredibly awesome and efficient Stew from the <a href='https://swoproductions.com/'>Stew World Podcast</a> joins the boys this week to talk a topic so quintessentially Countdown that it's a surprise it doesn't get re-done every 20 episodes or so: The Top 10 Action Comedies.</p>

 
Stew brings his A-game, while Paul battles tirelessly to suggest adventure films qualify as action-comedies. Wayne, meanwhile, is completely off in his own world banging on about Betamax (for example), so it should come as no surprise that his list is ludicrously all over the place and features less action than your typical walk to the local twerking behind shop.
 
Has Wayne finally jumped the shark? Will Stew regret his decision to return to The Countdown? Won't someone else stand up for the Last Crusade alongside Paul? And who drops the most controversial joke this week? (Hint: It's actually not Wayne.)

<p> </p>

Why break down the best ten films from individual countries on a whole continent when you can group them all together and kill many birds with one stone?
 
That may be Wayne's thinking when it comes to talking the Top 10 Asian Films, or it could be he just hasn't seen enough films from this region of the world. Either way, Paul is frustrated by the number of fantastic films he's had to edit off this list.
 
But fear not, all is forgiven when International Action Star - or is that Hero? - Chow Yun Fat enters the fray and the boys can geek out over some of the incredible action films the continent (lol) of Asia has gifted us.
