Countdown #516 Guess who's back? Back again? Wayney's back, with his friend... Yes, it's been too long, and the lads have missed pontificating about highs and lows of films they've recently seen.

Countdown #515 What's been setting the 2026 box office on fire? And are those actually the best films of the year so far? Paul and Wayne certainly have their opinions, and since they have a podcast, they're going to tell you about them.

The DCU has been re-formatted like a hard drive sporting Windows 95, and two films deep, the question is now being asked: Is it working? The boys are back with their take on that question, as they consider the merits of a punk-metal version of Supergirl versus her 80s predecessor and consider whether James Gunn and Peter Safran have their finger on the pulse of fans the world over. Is it time to panic that the DCU is going the way of the DCEU before it, or should everyone just take a chill-pill and enjoy Supergirl for what it is? Find out as The Countdown continues ...
