    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?

    The Top 10 Television Shows of the Countdown Era

    Countdown #496   ... FIVE ...   The more things change, the more they stay the same. And so it is with The Countdown podcast.   After 496 attempts to countdown topics in order of awesomeness so you don't have to, Paul and Wayne are once again arguing about a loose brief. Of course, Wayne is the one contorting reality to fit into his very, very "flexible" list, and as always, it's Paul (and by extension, The Soundboard) taking umbrage, making for a classic episode of the show with much bad language and inappropriate humour.   Oh, and they talk about some great TV shows that have aired since the podcast began back in March 2015.   Enjoy hearing what those are amid much foul mouthed banter, as The Countdown nears its end ...   Want more?

    Red One review

    It's still early November, and yet Hollywood would have you believe it's Christmas time already. How else to explain the release of Red One, the big budget holiday film, which at time of writing, has yet to open in North America, and critics were mysteriously not allowed to see until the day before it opened around the world.   Rarely a good sign, but can the star power of The Rock and Chris Evans turn this family adventure film into something worthwhile? Or is this a massive bomb in the making?   Find out, as The Countdown continues ...   Time Stamps: Red One NON-SPOILER Review: 0:00 - 10:28 Red One SPOILER-FILLED Discussion: 10:28 - 23:55 Final Thoughts Including Potential Spoilers: 23:55 - 24:56   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 Last 10 - The Final One Ed

    Countdown #495   ... SIX  ...   Here it is. The FINAL Top 10 Last 10 (at least for the weekly show), and boy oh boy wow-wee, have the lads saved the best for last for you.   Yes, there's the usual 10 mini reviews conducted by each of the guys of the ten films they've most recently watched but never spoken about on the show, and of course, they're ranked from worst to best. But the one film they have both seen and review this week ends up dividing them like never before! Insults, soundboard usage and the digging in of heels ensues!   Just how many and how barbed those insults get can only be revealed by tuning in, as The Countdown continues ...   Want more?

    Venom: The Last Dance review

    Having learned very little since the last Spider-adjacent movie came out, Sony are at it again, making Tom Hardy honour his three film contract to make Venom: The Last Dance.   Insert disbelief, consternation, and a healthy dose of WTF as Wayne and Paul try to make sense of this third and supposedly final film in the franchise.   Find out whether there will be more Venom, as The Countdown continues...   Time Stamps: Venom: The Last Dance NON-SPOILER Review: 0:00 - 11:33 Venom: The Last Dance SPOILER-FILLED Discussion: 11:33 - 21:32 Final Thoughts Including Potential Spoilers: 21:32 - 22:25   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?
