itunes picIn the storied history of The Countdown, Paul and Wayne have managed to both be on brief a good 124 out of 126 times. But this week, it all goes pear shaped. Which is to say in this Ep, Paul appropriately sets about determining what is better, Original Films or their Remakes as per the established VERSUS format, while Wayne .... Sigh ... While Wayne pits 10 Originals films against their Remakes and decides which of each he preferred. As you can imagine, Paul is incredulous, Wayne is defensive, and the two butt heads over the eventual result. ie. It's more of the usual chaos that defines The Countdown. The boys also kick off the Ep by reviewing the critically mauled but moderately successful, The Hitman's Bodyguard, and regular listeners might be surprised by both of their reactions to this Ryan Reynolds and Samuel L Jackson buddy action comedy.
