The Countdown Vs The Contrarians - Top 10 Memorable Moviegoing Experiences
Countdown #475
It's been a long time coming, but the Show v Show format returns this week as Paul and Wayne welcome Julio and Alex from The Contrarians podcast to do battle re a Top 10 topic. And that topic as nominated by The Contrarians is the Top 10 Memorable Moviegoing Experiences.
As you can imagine, not everything memorable is positive. Nor is it always PG. So strap yourselves in for some outlandish stories involving everything from anger in the cinema to, well, unexpected most pleasure (make of that what you will).
Whatever the reaction, this monster episode will be sure to remind you of some of your memorable experiences at the cinema/theatre, as The Countdown continues ...
Please thank Julio and Alex for coming on the show by checking out their show, The Contrarians.

Top 10 Train Films
Countdown #474
Choo-choo, everyone! And welcome to the first ever Countdown about trains. Specifically train-based films in honour of listener Ben and his father who recently passed away.
Trains may not be square in the middle of the lads' wheel-house, but they make a pretty good fist of it, layering in enough inappropriate genitalia based humour to ensure that no-one will forget this is, after all, another episode of The Countdown.
With just 26 episodes to go, find out whether Paul manages to crow-bar in another reference to John Farnham (and what he gets called for it), as The Countdown continues ...

Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes review
The Apes are back and now 300 years later they run the joint. At least until one Ape group attacks another Ape group and apparently it all stems from, ironically, Apes being together strongly. (Or something.)
Anyway, one of the boys doesn't much care for this continuation of the highly regarded Ape film trilogy from last decade, and the other claims to very much enjoy it. At least until you hear his score ...
Find out who is whom and whether you should see what kind of wonderful day it is within this cinematic universe, as The Countdown continues ...

Our Top 5 Travel Experiences
Countdown #473
In this follow up to Episode 471, the lads get to their best ever travel experiences.
Of course, in this ying to the other episode's yang, there is plenty of inappropriate humour, and way too many references to Wayne spanking the monkey. But if you're in the mood for some laughs amid ideas on where you should travel to in the world and what you should do once you're there, look no further ...
Because where else can you come to for recommendations about Disneyland AND catch a story about Kenny Loggins' naked wedding?

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?
There's plenty of ways to find out, but only one of those involves a single button press if you're reading this ... as The Countdown continues ...
