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...

It's bigger than a very big thing on the biggest day of it's big, BIG life. It's HUGE. It's m-a-s-s-i-v-e! It's the final Show Vs Show episode for the (weekly) podcast and it stars two of the podcast's very best friends and most generous supporters, B-Dizzle and David Powell of the Poddy Mouth Radio network.
They join Wayne and Paul to countdown the Top 10 WTAF Movie moments - moments in which WTF was uttered aloud or at least represented by hanging jaws and incredulous, wide eyed surprise. Twists, unexpected comedic moments, anger inducing decision - all and more are covered as the two shows compare and contrast their lists.
So jump on board and be prepared to be surprised, as The Countdown continues (for now) ...
Please thank Dave and B-Dizzle for coming on the show by checking out Poddy Mouth Radio and giving one of their shows a listen!

This week Wayne is fan-boying for Kevin Smith by reviewing his newest film no-one (other than a fan-person) has heard about,k while Paul does actual work for the podcast (in terms of thinking about download numbers) by reviewing the horror sequel, Smile 2.
Neither are screaming the merits of their film from the roof tops, but who will be the bigger champion of their type of film ... as The Countdown continues ...

Do you have a few films that you love and yet which, to your befuddlement, failed to make any kind of splash at the box-office? In fact, they went so poorly, they belly flopped into that box-office pool and lost approximately all the money?
Paul and Wayne most certainly do. And this week they're counting their ten favourite films which completely tanked at the box office, in some cases destroying or at least adversely affecting the careers of those responsible for the film.
How many crossovers will the lads have? How many times will Paul get to augment his trademark "LOW!" with the Soundboard? And will Wayne finally snap at said use of that same Soundboard?
Learn the answers to all those questions and more, as The Countdown continues ...
Note: Paul misspoke re Big Trouble in LC. Of course it had a domestic box-office release; it just did not have an international one according to Box Office Mojo.

It should be a week of glowing positively on the show. Wayne is reviewing a Batman-adjacent film and Paul is reviewing a long-awaited horror film from one of his favourite Stephen King novels of all time. But, regardless of expectations, are either of the lads happy?

TEN.
It's barely the spooky season and Wayne is suffering in his jocks (again!) for your amusement, this time by doing the horror-adjacent topic of the Top 10 Stephen King Adaptations.
Of course, another fantastic podcast was required to make up for Wayne's many, many shortcomings, and this time that role is filled by John and Lloyd from the fantastic The Pint: A Pop Culture podcast.
Lloyd is an old-school King fan (he has the tattoo to prove it), so how will he fare dealing with Wayne's lack of "Kingliness"? Or is there a bigger shock in store for he and John? Could it be Paul who will make the left-field calls?
There's only one way to find out, and it isn't by boofing spiders ... as The Countdown continues ...
Please thanks Lloyd and John by checking out their awesome show ASAP!

The only way Wayne could have been any more ready for this George Clooney and Brad Pitt starring action crime comedy on Apple TV would have been if Henry Cavill and Tom Cruise were also both involved!
So how did Wayne take this Jon Watts written and directed film? Was he completely in love with its cool factor? Or did this one promise too much and deliver too little? And could it be that Paul is actually more down with Wolfs, despite his man-crush for anyone involved being considerably less intense than Wayne's?

Countdown #490
The Countdown marks the beginning of the "spooky season" by convincing Wayne he could do such an episode if it was about the WORST horror films. Namely, the Worst 10 Horror Films of All Time!
But for such a massive topic, the boys needed some help. And it came in the form of the magnificent So Wizard Podcast! Joey returns and this time, instead of Markellus, he brought with him another horror hating podcaster, Aubrey!
What films will Wayne and Aubrey go to town on and will the horror fans (aka Paul and Joey) be able to take it? Just how many rants will Paul go on? And can Wayne actually talk about horror films without crapping on the whole genre?
Find out as The Countdown continues ...

Two shorter reviews this week with Wayne checking out HBO Max's, The Penguin, the sequel to the hit film from two years ago, while Paul jumps on the English language remake of Speak No Evil, comparing and contrasting the original with this James Watkins' joint.

With the end rapidly approaching, the boys shake it up with just one week this week - Wayne's list of the top 10 times Paul scored a film incorrectly, according to his Letterboxd ratings.
As a result, Paul puts himself out there for all the ridicule, abuse and judgment one can imagine - all for yours (and Wayne's) amusement!

Brace yourselves, dear listener. This one may be a bit of a rough ride ...
The boys took in the long-awaited sequel to Tim Burton's beloved 1988 Beetlejuice and, well, they have thoughts. Wayne, especially has thoughts about Monica Bellucci shacking up with Tim Burton, but at the end of the day whose score is more likely to cause anger and outrage?

There have been some very funny songs released over the years, leading the lads to wonder what the very funniest of them have been. And with that, a Countdown topic was born.
So join Paul and Wayne as they attempt to cherry pick the best thirty seconds from some of the greatest comedy songs ever. Be it Conchords flying to a lonely island by way of a weird Willis, there's a little something for everyone amid the usual curse words and questionable calls.
Find out what gets crowned as the funniest song of all time by the lads and the listeners, as The Countdown continues (for 12 more episodes anyway ) ....

It's September and while prestige TV may still be dropping things of interest, the blockbuster season at the theatre is certainly over, as evidenced by Paul scraping the bottom of the cinematic release barrel to review Afraid for you. It's Blumhouse and horror (supposedly) so Wayne was going nowhere near it - which turns out to be a very smart decision - instead opting to focus his attention on the beginning of the second season of Prime's The Rings of Power (a less smart call).
Should you be heading to the cinemas or settling into the couch to watch TV this week? Hell, maybe getting out and going for a walk while listening to this episode is your best bet ... as The Countdown continues ...

Zoe Kravitz makes her directorial debut in this stylish thriller that, well, certainly goes places. One of the lads is right on board with what she's serving up here, while the other is decidedly less so.

In their first TV-centric episode in some time, Paul & Wayne take aim at those once good TV shows that unfortunately dropped the ball and turned to seed. In other words, they're counting down their Top 10 Shark Jumping TV Shows.
Is there anything worse than The Fonz on skis and wearing his iconic leather jacket jumping over a shark? And which show jumped that shark harder: Dexter, GoT or The Walking Dead?

It's been a lean 38 years if you're an Alien film franchise fan. From the disappointment of Alien 3 to the bamboozling direction Ridley Scott chose with the last two films, it's fair to say no old-school fan has been especially happy. So the question becomes, can Fede Alvarez do what many others before him could not and deliver a genuinely good Alien sequel?
Paul and Wayne certainly hope so, and they were front and centre very early in this film's release to bring you their view on whether this is the beginning of a new dawn for the Alien franchise or if it is just more of the same hope-sucking drivel?

Countdown #485
Wayne loves the guy and he's the flavour of the month as the messiah Marvel promised, so the boys decide to count down the very best performances from one Robert Downey Jr.
It takes about seventeen seconds for Wayne to debate the nature of this list, and only about five minutes more for Paul to reveal he's a bit down on the Downey and doesn't actually rate that many of his movies.
Can Wayne cope with this revelation? Who won't have the film that won him an Academy Award on their list? And is this the last performance-related count down the show will ever do?
Learn the answers to all those questions (and more!), as The Countdown continues ...
