Finally. Here it is.
As the weekly podcast draws to a close, Wayne rights a very old wrong by agreeing to watch one of Paul's favourite horror films of all time as this week's feature review, Train to Busan.
Whether Wayne did so because the only other options this week were to see Wicked at the cinema or suffer through the Aussie version of The Office at home, is irrelevant. What matter is has has listed to Paul who has sung the praises of this film to anyone who listens for nigh on eight years.
Will Wayne get on board with one of the most celebrated zombie films of this millennium? Or is this review episode destined to be another Soundboard-peppered argument?
Find out, as The Countdown continues ...

Countdown #497
... FOUR ...
The boys covered the best television since the show began last Ep, so it's only natural that this week they turn their attention to the very best films they've covered since The Countdown began in late March 2015.
Can Wayne somehow manage to stick to the brief this week? What will the show's consensus #1 be? And how annoyed will Paul get when Wayne omits a key film from his list?
It's anyone's bet with only four shows to go before the (weekly) podcast ends, so get on board now with The Countdown concluding ...

It's not often the most expensive film of the year drops in November, but here we are ...
Ridley Scott returns sans Russell Crowe and Hams Zimmer to continue the story of his dead hero, Maximus, making for some very big shoes to fill (as Wayne posits).
Paul, meanwhile, is very concerned with how this is all just politccccssssss-ahhh!

Countdown #496
... FIVE ...
The more things change, the more they stay the same. And so it is with The Countdown podcast.
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.
Oh, and they talk about some great TV shows that have aired since the podcast began back in March 2015.
Enjoy hearing what those are amid much foul mouthed banter, as The Countdown nears its end ...

It's still early November, and yet Hollywood would have you believe it's Christmas time already. How else to explain the release of Red One, the big budget holiday film, which at time of writing, has yet to open in North America, and critics were mysteriously not allowed to see until the day before it opened around the world.
Rarely a good sign, but can the star power of The Rock and Chris Evans turn this family adventure film into something worthwhile? Or is this a massive bomb in the making?

Countdown #495
... SIX ...
Here it is. The FINAL Top 10 Last 10 (at least for the weekly show), and boy oh boy wow-wee, have the lads saved the best for last for you.
Yes, there's the usual 10 mini reviews conducted by each of the guys of the ten films they've most recently watched but never spoken about on the show, and of course, they're ranked from worst to best. But the one film they have both seen and review this week ends up dividing them like never before! Insults, soundboard usage and the digging in of heels ensues!
Just how many and how barbed those insults get can only be revealed by tuning in, as The Countdown continues ...

Having learned very little since the last Spider-adjacent movie came out, Sony are at it again, making Tom Hardy honour his three film contract to make Venom: The Last Dance.
Insert disbelief, consternation, and a healthy dose of WTF as Wayne and Paul try to make sense of this third and supposedly final film in the franchise.

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 Poddy Mouth Radio network.
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.
So jump on board and be prepared to be surprised, as The Countdown continues (for now) ...
Please thank Dave and B-Dizzle for coming on the show by checking out Poddy Mouth Radio and giving one of their shows a listen!

This week Wayne is fan-boying for Kevin Smith by reviewing his newest film no-one (other than a fan-person) has heard about,k while Paul does actual work for the podcast (in terms of thinking about download numbers) by reviewing the horror sequel, Smile 2.
Neither are screaming the merits of their film from the roof tops, but who will be the bigger champion of their type of film ... as The Countdown continues ...

Countdown #492
... NINE ...
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?
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.
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?
Learn the answers to all those questions and more, as The Countdown continues ...
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.

It should be a week of glowing positively on the show. Wayne is reviewing a Batman-adjacent film and Paul is reviewing a long-awaited horror film from one of his favourite Stephen King novels of all time. But, regardless of expectations, are either of the lads happy?

Countdown #491
TEN.
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.
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 The Pint: A Pop Culture podcast.
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?
There's only one way to find out, and it isn't by boofing spiders ... as The Countdown continues ...
Please thanks Lloyd and John by checking out their awesome show ASAP!

The only way Wayne could have been any more ready for this George Clooney and Brad Pitt starring action crime comedy on Apple TV would have been if Henry Cavill and Tom Cruise were also both involved!
So how did Wayne take this Jon Watts written and directed film? Was he completely in love with its cool factor? Or did this one promise too much and deliver too little? And could it be that Paul is actually more down with Wolfs, despite his man-crush for anyone involved being considerably less intense than Wayne's?

Countdown #490
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!
But for such a massive topic, the boys needed some help. And it came in the form of the magnificent So Wizard Podcast! Joey returns and this time, instead of Markellus, he brought with him another horror hating podcaster, Aubrey!
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?
Find out as The Countdown continues ...

With the end rapidly approaching, the boys shake it up with just one week this week - Wayne's list of the top 10 times Paul scored a film incorrectly, according to his Letterboxd ratings.
As a result, Paul puts himself out there for all the ridicule, abuse and judgment one can imagine - all for yours (and Wayne's) amusement!

Brace yourselves, dear listener. This one may be a bit of a rough ride ...
The boys took in the long-awaited sequel to Tim Burton's beloved 1988 Beetlejuice and, well, they have thoughts. Wayne, especially has thoughts about Monica Bellucci shacking up with Tim Burton, but at the end of the day whose score is more likely to cause anger and outrage?

There have been some very funny songs released over the years, leading the lads to wonder what the very funniest of them have been. And with that, a Countdown topic was born.
So join Paul and Wayne as they attempt to cherry pick the best thirty seconds from some of the greatest comedy songs ever. Be it Conchords flying to a lonely island by way of a weird Willis, there's a little something for everyone amid the usual curse words and questionable calls.
