Afraid of The Rings of Power S2 reviews

Episode 806

Tuesday, September 3, 2024 • Duration 19:52

It's September and while prestige TV may still be dropping things of interest, the blockbuster season at the theatre is certainly over, as evidenced by Paul scraping the bottom of the cinematic release barrel to review Afraid for you. It's Blumhouse and horror (supposedly) so Wayne was going nowhere near it - which turns out to be a very smart decision - instead opting to focus his attention on the beginning of the second season of Prime's The Rings of Power (a less smart call).

Should you be heading to the cinemas or settling into the couch to watch TV this week? Hell, maybe getting out and going for a walk while listening to this episode is your best bet ... as The Countdown continues ...

Deadpool & Wolverine review

Episode 796

Tuesday, July 30, 2024 • Duration 37:59

34 films deep the MCU fires off its only shot for 2024 by bringing in the R-rated Merc with a Mouth and combining him with a character who had one of the best send offs ever in Wolverine. Can two characters previously owned by 20th Century Fox resurrect the fortunes of the MCU and add to Disney's coffers? Or is this just the latest in a string of failures, even if Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman will have a few laughs along the way?

Find out all that the boys think about the violence, the swears, the cameos and the metaness of it all in this review the size of Deadpool's ego, as The Countdown continues ...

The Slashers - a New Podcast! - preview

Episode 706

Tuesday, August 29, 2023 • Duration 13:11

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.

So Wayne graciously gives Paul the mic to talk about an upcoming side project he has been working on. Accepting an invitation from Binge Movies' 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 ...

And remember: Don't let them catch you! ... as The Countdown continues.

Strays review

Episode 704

Tuesday, August 22, 2023 • Duration 18:51

Wayne loves dogs and swearing, so you can bet your bottom dollar that when swearing dogs are on offer for this week's review of the new comedy, Strays, he is there with bells on.

Paul, meanwhile, recognises he has a podcast commitment to meet. Which of these old dogs will be taught new tricks by the end of this review? Find out, as The Countdown continues ... Time Stamps: Strays NON-SPOILER Review: 0:00 - 10:39 Strays SPOILER-FILLED Discussion: 10:39 - 17:05

Top 10 TV Shows of the 20th Century

Episode 703

Friday, August 18, 2023 • Duration 01:06:32

Countdown #437

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.

Meg 2: The Trench review

Episode 702

Tuesday, August 15, 2023 • Duration 25:25

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. Even Wayne is struggles to find something positive to say this week. Find out just how much positive there is, as The Countdown continues ... Time Stamps: Meg 2 NON-SPOILER Review: 0:00 - 9:54 Meg 2 SPOILER-FILLED Discussion: 9:54 - 23:50

Top 10 Funniest Jokes

Episode 701

Friday, August 11, 2023 • Duration 37:49

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 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.

Find out why as The Countdown takes a side-step, but will continue ...

Gran Turismo review

Episode 700

Tuesday, August 8, 2023 • Duration 26:39

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 ...
