What does a Netflix rom-com about a guy pretending to be a hitman and the fifth film in a franchise about a reformed supervillain and his army of weird yellow minions have to do with each other?
 
Well, Paul dislikes them both, so there's that ...Find out just how much you side with Wayne on all things Richard Linklater, as The Countdown continues ...

Countdown #477
 
The boys are in fine form this week as they examine the filmography of one cantankerous old man, aka Sir Ridley Scott (or, if you're Paul, just Ridley Scott).
 
Drawing films from every decade that he's been making films, the lads debate whether he's a truly great film-maker or really more of an exceptional production designer who doesn't know how to edit the scripts he works on.
 
Is Sir Scott capable of making a tight film? Will Paul offend Blade Runner fans the world over? And which recent guest host rates Prometheus as a better film than Alien?

In a film which comes uncomfortably close to mirroring the flagging staying power of The Countdown itself, the boys are this week reviewing Will Slap Smith and Martin Lawrence as they Ride or Die in the fourth Bad Boys film.
 
 
Wayne is surprisingly down on the film at review's beginning, while perhaps shockingly, Paul seems ready to defend what might fairly be described as a dumb action film. But will they occupy the same position by review's end? And can Wayne, for once, be prepared with his score for a film?
 
 
Lean the answers to all these questions and more, as The Countdown continues ...

Guy Ritchie has hardly been on a roll of late, but he's back with a story line on paper which sounds like an absolute cracker: The Dirty Dozen by way of Inglorious Basterds and based on documented fact... How could it possibly go wrong?
 
Well, let Paul and Wayne - who was so looking forward to this, he about cracked a sad when the film did not hit cinemas in Australia - tell you the multitude of ways that this film is a disappointment ... as The Countdown continues ...

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.
