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!

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?

Countdown #488
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.
Find out what gets crowned as the funniest song of all time by the lads and the listeners, as The Countdown continues (for 12 more episodes anyway ) ....

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 ...

With only 14 episodes remaining, the boys return to a fan favourite format, the Top 10 Last 10), to countdown 10 of their most recently viewed films from worst to best, letting you know the point where they begin to recommend what they've seen.

Zoe Kravitz makes her directorial debut in this stylish thriller that, well, certainly goes places. One of the lads is right on board with what she's serving up here, while the other is decidedly less so.
So whose side are you on when it comes to Blinking Twice? Wayne or Paul's?

Countdown #486
In their first TV-centric episode in some time, Paul & Wayne take aim at those once good TV shows that unfortunately dropped the ball and turned to seed. In other words, they're counting down their Top 10 Shark Jumping TV Shows.
Is there anything worse than The Fonz on skis and wearing his iconic leather jacket jumping over a shark? And which show jumped that shark harder: Dexter, GoT or The Walking Dead?

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?
Find out whether you should be purchasing your ticket to Alien: Romulus, as The Countdown continues...

Countdown #485
Wayne loves the guy and he's the flavour of the month as the messiah Marvel promised, so the boys decide to count down the very best performances from one Robert Downey Jr.
It takes about seventeen seconds for Wayne to debate the nature of this list, and only about five minutes more for Paul to reveal he's a bit down on the Downey and doesn't actually rate that many of his movies.
Can Wayne cope with this revelation? Who won't have the film that won him an Academy Award on their list? And is this the last performance-related count down the show will ever do?
Learn the answers to all those questions (and more!), as The Countdown continues ...

HOW?!
How does a violent first person shooter role playing game get made into a film like this starring an Academy Award winning actress? And how do they drop $100 million plus on it?

Countdown #484
This week the lads are talking the very best prequel films that have been made.
Now generally speaking, prequels are not exactly beloved, so listen in to hear what tenuous links the boys are making to justify their choices? Are the left field calls that Wayne makes actually prequels? And is there anything more certain that Paul having a Mad Max film on his list?
Learn the answers to both of these questions and oh so much more, as The Countdown continues ...

Exploding heads, fists through chesty cavities, genitalia (of the female AND male type), profanity, kink and cake farting. If that sounds like an episode of The Countdown, you haven't been watching The Boys. But Wayne and Paul have, and they're to weigh in with their thoughts on the more-divisive fourth season of the massive Amazon Prime show.
Does it hold up against the rest of the series? What is the most disturbing moment? And is the show finally playing for keeps? Learn the answers to these questions and more, as The Countdown continues ...

Countdown #483
What's the discussion everyone who's a film buff has? If it's not "What's your favourite film?", it most certainly is "What film would you recommend everyone should see?". It's a truly tough question to answer, but fret no more, film buffs. Paul and Wayne have your backs this week, with 20 films (actually 18, there are two crossovers) that you can now say to people when you're asked that question.
Of course, this list is fairly personal as the lads attempt to justify their choices, and the Ep goes in some fairly unpredictable directions, at one point even becoming a psycho-educational session about emotions.
But don't let that put you off! Rest assured, this is still an Ep that Wayne is co-hosting so there will be plenty of crude references and borderline inappropriate humour.
Which is to say, more of what you have come to expect, as The Countdown continues ...

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?

Music returns to the Countdown this week as Paul and Wayne square off over their favourite Pop songs of the 1980s! Wayne decides he should acknowledge his perspective on what constitutes Pop music is wrong (or, you know, decides to work within Paul's more specific parameters because it was Paul's birthday this last week), making for what should be a very pleasant and melodic episode.
But no! It doesn't take long before Wayne is busting out some questionable choices, only for Wayne to lose it laughing at Paul's number one. So maybe the question shouldn't be who has the best list this week, but rather, who has the worst...?

Two shorter reviews for you this week, as Wayne checks out rom-com Fly Me to the Moon, while Paul goes dark with the serial killer horror, Longlegs, starring everyone's favourite, Nicolas Cage.
Could there BE less in common between two films? Will Wayne be able to get past the 60s fashion in the rom-com to actually determine whether it's a good film or not? And will Paul be all about the shocking violence in his horror film?
Find out which of these films is going to be more your speed, as The Countdown continues ...

This week the boys give some love to Sony Pictures and their virtual armada of different production companies as they countdown the best ever films Sony has produced.
Will Spider-Man films take up most every spot? Or are there a number of 80s classics for you to chew on? And has Wayne done proper research to ensure all the films on his list are actually co-produced (not just distributed) by Sony?

Remember that natural disaster film from the mid-90s that had a flying cow? Well, Universal Pictures, Warner Brothers and Amblin Entertainment are hoping you recall only enough to want to see another film about a bevy of twisters laying waste to Oklahoma while people chase the things across many, many flat rolling plains, because this film literally has nothing else to do with the original.
But does watching forces of nature wreak havoc while a bunch of people chase them around for various reasons a good film make? That's what Wayne and Paul are here to tell you, since for some odd reason, this very American film complete with more country music than even a diehard fan would care to hear has released internationally first.

Why celebrate one country's finest films when you can combine a whole bunch of them and talk the best films out of a particular continent? That's Wayne's thinking, at least. Or is it that he just hasn't seen enough films from Europe (outside of the UK)?
Find out this week on the Countdown as Wayne goes "Scandi"-crazy, while Paul cannot believe his ears at some of his co-host's choices. Which seems more than fair until he suggests a film about mutating spiders attacking an apartment block is better than most everything else out of Europe.

The man who does not age is back after 30 years in one of the role that made him famous. Yes, Eddie Murphy is Axel F and he's in Beverly Hills casing trouble for very obvious criminals, even when the other police officers from the previous films seem to have no idea re what's happening right under their noses.
Wayne is a big fan of the series; Paul less so. But are either of them blown away by the countless member-berries in this one? Or is Axel headed straight for an F grade?
