The final film (maybe?!) in the Mission Impossible franchise dropped EARLY in Australia and with thankls to Paramount Pictuyres Australia, the boys were in attendance at an advanced screening to bring you the early word on whether Tom cruise and Christopher McQuarrie nail the brief. Can Ethan Hunt overcome the entity and save everybody he loves as well as the world? Will Wayne regret seeing a 170 minute films twice in three days?

The boys have headed back to the cinema with thanks to Warner Brothers Australia and Universal Australia to see the sequel which, well, few people expected: The Accountant! The critics seem to be liking and the audience score is high on most-metrics, but what do Paul and Wayne have to say about this apparent crowd-pleaser? Can Ben Affleck, Jon Bernthal and director Gavin O'Connor re-capture the magic of the well-received 2016 original? Or is this a case of tax time at the box office? (Yeah, I know. I was pretty proud of that one.)

Countdown #503 Just when you thought it was safe to peer back into your podcatching app ... the boys are back! 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. Will Ballerina finally get released? Can Wayne put anything other than Tom Cruise movies and comedies on his list? And has Paul, after ten years, finally outgrown his love of horror films? There's only one way to find out the answers to all these questions and more, and that's but hitting play on this episode. So, stop anticipating, and get into it! Want more?

Paul and Wayne return to the land of reviews with the new spy "thriller", Black Bag. Is it everything the critics would have you believe? Or is it a bunch of boring conversations around a dinner table interspersed with a lot of emotion-less dialogue? Either way, you can be sure it's a lively discussion, given this is Wayne's favourite genre and it's directed by Mr Hit-or-MIss, Steven Soderbergh.

Countdown #499 ... TWO ... 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. At least, that was the plan. 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 ...

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.

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.

It's still early November, and yet Hollywood would have you believe it's Christmas time already.

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?

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?

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).

It's been a lean 38 years if you're an Alien film franchise fan. 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? 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?
