Paul and Wayne return to the land of reviews with the new spy "thriller", Black Bag.
Is it everything the critics would have you believe? Or is it a bunch of boring conversations around a dinner table interspersed with a lot of emotion-less dialogue?
Either way, you can be sure it's a lively discussion, given this is Wayne's favourite genre and it's directed by Mr Hit-or-MIss, Steven Soderbergh.
Time Stamps:
Black Bag NON-SPOILER Review: 0:00 - 15:22
Black Bag SPOILER-FILLED Discussion: 15:22 - 19:55
Final Thoughts Including Potential Spoilers: 19:55 - 21:40

The Top 10 Films of 2024 (with Jason from Binge Movies)
Countdown #502
Jason from Binge Movies returns to join the lads as they - finally! - countdown their Top to Films of 2024!
Sure it's two months after most every other podcast has done this episode, but you've sampled the entrees and here's the main course - complete with films all three wouldn't have watched if they did do this episode on Jan 1st.
Jason gets upset with Paul for multiple picks; Paul gets upset with Wayne for a bunch of his picks; and Wayne has managed to see at least eleven films in 2024, so get ready for a big episode! :D
And please thank Jason for being on the show by checking out Binge Movies!

The WORST 10 Films of 2024
Countdown #501
There were doubters. There were nay-sayers. And there were the incredulous.
But today, Paul and Wayne prove there is life in The Countdown yet. As well as fulfill their promise to (triumphantly) return in 2025 with more episodes. Not weekly; sure. But with new episodes none the less.
And it begins with this PSA regarding the very worst of the worst films from 2024 that the lads saw.
So, pop in your ear buds or have your car stereo bluetooth from your phone, because The Countdown is back, baby, and there's plenty to say about these abominations of cinema!

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.
