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

Monkey Man review
Dev Patel seems like an awesome guy. And when the John Wick style trailer dropped for his debut feature film, Monkey Man, people collectively lost their minds.
Of course, than means Paul and Wayne were keen to be there front and centre to check this one and with thanks to Universal Pictures they got to do exactly that. Does The Dev deliver? Or will one of the lads come out critical guns blazing?
Let's just say this one gets a might testy, as The Countdown continues ...

Monkey Man NON-SPOILER Review: 0:00 - 8:51

Customer Reviews
Best podcast out there!
New format stop slaps! Shout out to the soundboard!
An essential listen!
This podcast was recommended by a friend and it doesn’t disappoint. Excellent banter between Wayne and Paul. Great lists and a lot of humor. Give it a shot!
The Laugh….I can’t.
Made it through two or three episodes. Content is good. Unfortunately, the laugh is unbearable. Every time I hear it, makes me jump.
