Countdown #420

 

It's Episode 420 and as Patron Extraordinaire Chris Yeany worked out, this Episode drops American time on 420 ... So what option was there other than to do the Top 10 Stone Movies for this week's show?

 

None.   "Don't condescend me, man."   "That's just like, your opinion, man."   "Ladies, ladies, ladies! Jay and Silent Bob are in the hizzouse!"   "I am not amused."   "It’s almost a shame to smoke it. It’s like killing a unicorn, with like, a bomb."  

If any of these quotes sound familiar, you're going to have a good time with this Ep. If they don't, sit back and get ready a ride on an escaped cheetah to a place that sells mini-burgers, all while wondering exactly where your car is ... as The Countdown continues.

500 million dollars later, Wayne and Paul decide they better see what all the fuss is about and head to the cinemas to catch the latest triumphant video game adaptation, The Super Movie Bros. Movie.

 

Amazingly, the song "When Will I Be Famous" is not used once in this 90 minute animated adventure, but a bunch of other crappy needle drops are, and Wayne, at least, is all about them. But does he like, well, ANYthing else about this film? And how many times has Paul defended a non-horror against Wayne's version of Negatron?   Learn the answers to these questions, as well as well as weigh in on the controversy about a nihilistically depressed character in a film for kids, as The Countdown continues ...   Time Stamps The Super Movie Bros.

Countdown #419

 

It's Top 10 Last 10 time, and in case you weren't aware, the theater experience is back! So the boys are celebrating by reviewing a bunch of films they've recently watched (in Wayne's case that means he saw them within the last week) and have yet to speak about on the show.

 

Everything from low budget horror to Academy Award nominees get a look in this week, as Wayne again laments his life choices (when it comes to film), and Paul is more than pleasantly surprised by some of what he watched.  

Tune in to find out what you should and should not watch in the months ahead, as The Countdown continues ...

Two reviews again this week, but Wayne was too busy to see both, so Paul kicks things off by reviewing the well-received Air, which once again combines the talents of Ben Affleck and Matt Damon to tell the story of how Nike lured Michael Jordan to join them fresh out of college.

 

Then, Wayne joins Paul to review The Pope's Exorcist, a horror film starring Russell Crowe which Wayne suggested to see, somehow having no idea it was a horror. Paul has a load of fun with this, but who's enjoying themselves by the end of the film? The answer may shock and disturb you ...   Which, if any of these films, is worth your time and hard-earned to see at the theatre?

Countdown #418

 

If the Top 10 conspiracy theories weren't enough for you a few weeks back, Paul and Wayne go back to that off-kilter well to deliver you some very disturbing true mysteries of the kind that have yet to be solved.

 

From dark matter to severed feet and by way of far too many disappeared or murdered people, this week the boys are covering their favourite unexplained mysteries.

 

If that sounds too dark for you, fear not. The Soundboard is on hand to incense Wayne, Paul is prattling on about a TV show concerning cities of gold, and just how many listeners will reference the mythical film Reap in the Pop 10 segment?

Hollywood circles around to the fantasy adventure film, this time dressing it up up as a D&D film set in the Forgotten Realms fantasy world. Paul knows all about this as he used to play D&D back in the day. Wayne claims he played it only twice - even if it was a lot more than that - and remembers little to nothing about such adventures.

So who is going to enjoy this film and who is going to be middling to okay with it? And just how high is Chris Pine's charisma score?   Learn the answers to these questions as well as just what the hell a Displacer Beast is, as The Countdown continues ...   Time Stamps D&D: Honor Among Thieves NON-SPOILER Review: 0:00 - 15:13 D&D: Honor Among Thieves SPOILER-FILLED Discussion: 15:13 - 27:16

Countdown #417

 

For the show's eighth birthday (Eight! Can you believe it?!), the guys decided to celebrate by counting down their Top 10 Cover Songs of all time.

 

It should be an easy brief to stick to, but Wayne decides he can include non-released live recordings on stupid youtube channels, while Paul stays true to the HEAVILY IMPLIED brief.  

Which is to say, it's more of what you've come to expect over the last eight years and 417 countdowns, plus Steven Seagal being a bigger douche than normal, as The Countdown continues ...

One host has labelled this latest 169 minute long John Wick flick "The Numbening", while the other believes it is the finest action film in many years and cements the series as the best (action) film franchise in history. Who is whom? And do Chad Stahelski, Keanu Reeves and the mountain of stunt-people and choreographers strike gold for the fourth time in a row?   Learn the answers to both of these questions and more, as The Countdown continues ...   Time Stamps John Wick 4 NON-SPOILER Review: 0:00 - 14:27 John Wick 4 SPOILER-FILLED Discussion: 14:27 - 31:10

Countdown #416

 

This week the boys give you a short and sweet episode about other things which were short and sweet: one season television shows!   Whether they were designed to be a limited series, or were tragically and unfairly pulled from your screens because of poor audience number, network mishandling or both, Paul and Wayne are here to champion those shows we really could have used more of ... or at least would have appreciated something similar from the creators.   Will Wayne stick to the brief? Can Paul find a single season horror television show to add to his list? And who, in the end, has list envy?  

Learn the answers to all these questions - and a bunch of random facts about TV shows you thought you forgot! - as The Countdown continues ...

The DCEU trucks along with a film that no-one is sure matters much given the changing of the guard which has since taken place ... But the world is in danger and there's a team of superheroes who are going to try and save it, so Paul and Wayne are there to witness the results and determine whether you should spend your hard-earned on the same.

 

Does Wayne care about anything other than the Batman being in The Flash? Does Paul care about anything DCEU? And will Shazam! Fury of the Gods surprise everyone?
