The waits have been brutal - 28 years, 15 years - but a new Tron movie is always welcome. So...The Countdown Movie Show team of Justin, Sean, and Paul are prepping for Tron: Ares by watching the first two films in the franchise. Episode 1 is all about the film that kicked off the franchise, Steven Lisberger's Tron (1982), the ground-breaking visual effects, the music, Jeff Bridges, Bruce Boxleitner, Cindy Morgan, and, as ever, time is made for Justin's Fun Facts and a game you can play along at home.

Longest movie yet.
Longest episode yet.
There's a lot to discuss when covering both Justice League (2017) and Zack Snyder's Justice League (2021) and Justin, Sean, and Paul get into it - the different directors, different cuts, early projects that were halted, casting, and a whole lot of choices that just didn't make any sense. But was there much to enjoy? Turns out there's that too, plus Justin's usual fun facts and quiz time. If you're going to "save one" episode to listen to, this is the one!

Skipping Justice League, 'cause it's not really a Superman movie, and it's never a bad idea, The Countdown to Nine podcast concludes with this detailed breakdown of James Gunn's 2025 film Superman - what worked, what didn't, what's new, what's re-hashed, casting, behind-the-scenes stories, and more. Plus, Justin's barrel o' fun facts and a game of Guess the D.C. Character by Their Superpower. This new movie about the Man of Steel made a lot of choices, and Paul, Justin, and Sean go over them all!

A re-watch of Superman Returns finds it sliiiiiiightly better for Justin and Paul while Sean continues loving on it. All this leads to interesting conversation about Bryan Singer's entry into the Man of Steel franchise. After letting go of Super Chicken, Justin runs a game of "Alive or Dead", and, as ever, there are Fuuuun Facts About Superman (Returns). All this is squeezed into the last ten minutes of the program, the first hour and twenty minutes is Sean recapping the film.

There's a lot for Sean, Justin, and Paul to talk about when it comes to Superman IV: The Quest for Peace, not much of it good. But thankfully, there are distractions! Among them, Justin has an unreasonable obsession with the 1960's Jay Ward/Bill Scott cartoon Super Chicken, and there's a play-along quiz about the entire Superman pop culture history. When back on track, the team talks about how the fourth in the O.G. Superman franchise...went wrong. (Spoiler - it's mostly Cannon...)

The title of this episode comes from a Richard Pryor line in Superman III...and he speaks for all of us. All the goodwill of the previous two entries of the Superman franchise lead to this questionable entry in the filmography of the Man of Steel. Justin, Sean, and a...sad, perhaps(?) Paul discuss why this one just doesn't work but good news, there's time left at the end for an extended conversation about James Gunn's upcoming film - one month away!

1978's Superman: The Movie was so successful, a sequel was a no-brainer. In fact, they saw the hit coming and filmed part of the sequel at the same time as the original. But something happened on the way to the cinema - new directors, more jokes, multiple cuts, re-shoots, and more. Discussing all this makes for a jam-packed episode of Countdown as Paul, Sean, and Justin take on the facts and opinions about Superman II.

Next up on the Superman countdown - Superman II. But which film do you talk about? Richard Lester's 1980 original or 2006's The Donner Cut? We'll get to both, but this show gave us a chance to see The Donner Cut for the first time. In this quick preview clip, co-hosts Sean and Justin give their thoughts before and after seeing The Donner Cut in prep for Countdown to Nine, Ep. 2, coming later this week!
