    The 500th Episode: The Top 10 Film Gooodbyes

    Countdown #500   ... ONE ...   Here it is, valued listener.   The final episode of the (weekly) podcast. And it is a fittingly massive one (that's what she said).   In this finale, the boys countdown their top 10 film goodbyes for, well, reasons.   Plus there's is a huge amount of listener feedback, messages from other podcasters and emails galore to celebrate the end of 9 and three quarters years of (almost) weekly podcasting.   To everyone who has supported the show - from the incredible patrons, to the other podcasters who guested and had Paul on their shows, and, of course to everyone who has listened, fed back to and shared the show - thank you for all that you have done. The Countdown would never have lasted as long as it did without your invaluable contributions.   And don't forget, the release of Reap: The Motion Picture is imminent ...   ... as the (weekly) countdown reaches ...   ... ZERO.   Want more?

    The Best & Worst of 2024 Television

    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 ...   So get on board for this last television-centric episode of the weekly (podcast), as The Countdown very nearly reaches its conclusion ...   Want more?

    Heretic review

    The second to last review for the weekly show arrives in the form of a film that's been out in North America and the UK for some time, Heretic.   Wayne, of course, is too much of wuss to see this one, to it's left to Paul to do all the heavy lifting for this psychological thriller-horror starring Hugh Grant.   Is it elevated horror? Should you race to see it at your local theatre? And will Wayne regret not seeing this one on the big screen?   Learn the answers to all these questions and more, as The Countdown continues ...   Time Stamps: Heretic NON-SPOILER Review: 0:00 - 10:25 Heretic SPOILER-FILLED Discussion: 10:25 - 20:38 Final Thoughts Including Potential Spoilers: 20:38 - 21:15   If you want more Countdowns - all the way back to Episode 40! - check out our Podbean site.   Join The Countdown Podcast Listener Community on Facebook so you can interact more directly with Paul and Wayne and vote in the weekly poll for who has the best list!   Want to hear a whole bunch of additional content?

    Top 10 Films That Made Us Who We Are

    Countdown #498   ... THREE ...   This week the guys get personal as the end of the (weekly) show looms large. They're talking the films that personally spoke to them and in some way, shape or form, moulded their lives into the people they currently are.   Everything from childhood cinema experiences through to films that determined artistic endeavours and shaped careers are discussed.   Beyond that, be sure to stick around for a truly fantastic Pop 10 segment in which the listeners give personal accounts of films that determined who they are!   The end is nigh, everyone. So if you'd like to be a part of the show before it ends, hit us up in the Facebook Listener Community or send us an email at thecountdownpodcast@gmail.com with any thoughts you have about the show and what fond memories you may have of it.   Because there's only two (weekly) episodes to go, before The Countdown concludes ...   Want more?

    Train to Busan review

    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.   Will Wayne get on board with one of the most celebrated zombie films of this millennium? Or is this review episode destined to be another Soundboard-peppered argument?   Find out, as The Countdown continues ...   Also: If you want to see the boys record this one live, warts and all, check out Wayne's new YouTube channel, Waxing & Wayning!   Time Stamps: Train to Busan NON-SPOILER Review: 0:00 - 12:16 Train to Busan SPOILER-FILLED Discussion: 12:16 - 21:05 Final Thoughts Including Potential Spoilers: 21:05 - 22:20   If you want more Countdowns - all the way back to Episode 40! - check out our Podbean site.   Join The Countdown Podcast Listener Community on Facebook so you can interact more directly with Paul and Wayne and vote in the weekly poll for who has the best list!   Want to hear a whole bunch of additional content?

    The Top 10 Films of the Countdown Era

    Countdown #497   ... FOUR ...   The boys covered the best television since the show began last Ep, so it's only natural that this week they turn their attention to the very best films they've covered since The Countdown began in late March 2015.   Can Wayne somehow manage to stick to the brief this week? What will the show's consensus #1 be? And how annoyed will Paul get when Wayne omits a key film from his list?   It's anyone's bet with only four shows to go before the (weekly) podcast ends, so get on board now with The Countdown concluding ...   Want more?

    Gladiator II review

    It's not often the most expensive film of the year drops in November, but here we are ...   Ridley Scott returns sans Russell Crowe and Hams Zimmer to continue the story of his dead hero, Maximus, making for some very big shoes to fill (as Wayne posits).   Paul, meanwhile, is very concerned with how this is all just politccccssssss-ahhh!   Find out what all that means, as The Countdown continues ...   Time Stamps: Gladiator II NON-SPOILER Review: 0:00 - 12:50 Gladiator II SPOILER-FILLED Discussion: 12:50 - 27:10 Final Thoughts Including Potential Spoilers: 27:10 - 27:45   If you want more Countdowns - all the way back to Episode 40! - check out our Podbean site.   Join The Countdown Podcast Listener Community on Facebook so you can interact more directly with Paul and Wayne and vote in the weekly poll for who has the best list!   Want to hear a whole bunch of additional content?
