    Boy Kills World review

    Despite a more apt title for this one being Boy Fails Studio, the boys went along to see this latest action spectacle, which promised to douse all and sundry with plenty of blood. But is it better than the box office return would have you believe?

    Top 10 Food in Film Scenes (with Chef Ben Randall)

    Top 10 Food in Film Scenes (with Chef Ben Randall)

    Countdown #472
     
    Long time Patreon supporter and bona fide Chef, Ben Randall, joins The Countdown this week to lend some class and legitimacy to a topic he came up with - the Top 10 Food on Film Scenes.
     
    Now, full disclosure, Ben forgot he suggested Top 10 Food in Film OR TV Scenes, but so did Wayne, so Paul is left high and dry with one television scene, while the other two are chowing down on films exclusively.
     
    How many of the choices will feature gross out moments with food? Does anyone get to third base with a pie? And just how does the mind of a Chef work?
     
    Learn the answers to all these questions and oh so much more, as The Countdown continues ...
    Please thanks Chef Ben by checking out his food and Chef related podcast, In The Weeds.

    The Fall Guy review

    The Fall Guy review

    It's Ry-Ry! It's Emily! It's a film based on a TV show from the early 80s! And it's Wayne's most anticipated film of the year! What could possibly go wrong?
     
    Well, for one, the boys incorrectly suggest Heather Locklear starred in that show when it was Heather Thomas, and for two, Wayne has apparently forgotten how to critically review something when he has (odd) affection for it.
     
    Find out how THAT goes, as The Countdown continues ...

    The Fall Guy NON-SPOILER Review: 0:00 - 11:00

    Our Worst 5 Travel Experiences

    Our Worst 5 Travel Experiences

    Countdown #471
     
    Okay, so this one starts out as one thing ... and ends up as half of it.
     
    With thanks to listener Andrew for the idea, the boys attempt to countdown their five and worst travel experiences. But by the 45 min mark of the worst stories, it becomes wildly apparent the episode is going to be well over two hours. So because no-one has time to listen to these two fools prattle on for that long inside one week (and also because Paul doesn't have time to edit that down from the 2.5 hour raw recording), the episode is halved and the guys talk just their five WORST travel experiences.
     
    Let the highly questionable subject matter begin, as The Countdown continues ...

    Abigail and Rebel Moon 2 reviews

    Abigail and Rebel Moon 2 reviews

    This week, two reviews for you because Wayne is too much of a wuss to see Abigail - the new horror film from Radio Silence - while Paul doesn't have enough time to sit through all the slow-mo in Zach Snyder's Rebel Moon (Hypen) Part Two (Colon) The Scargiver. Neither review has anything beyond the lightest of spoilers, but be aware things are mentioned that are plainly exposed in the trailer for Abigail.
     
    Beyond that, find out which film is worth your time and which one is not, as The Countdown continues ...
     
    Time Stamps:
    Abigail VERY LIGHT-SPOILER Review: 0:00 - 10:23
    Rebel Moon Part 2 SPOILER-FREE Review: 10:23 - 23:12

    Top 10 Moments That Derailed the MCU

    Top 10 Moments That Derailed the MCU

    Countdown #470
     
     
    This week the guys decide to cement the upcoming end of the show by taking aim at all that has gone wrong with the MCU, especially over the last five years.
     
     
    Will you be like Julio and lose your mind to consider what the guys are suggesting here? Or will you be more like a Nicholas and be so ready for the lads to call out the MCU for all its faults that you're salivating reading this?

A dash of joy and craziness in my week

You guys without a doubt always make me laugh. And I’ve been listening for years. And whenever you drop a local Perth reference, I feel a dash of pride/embarrassment/cringe. Thank you for being one of the highlights of my weeks
