Countdown to Nine: Ep. Eight - The Countdown Strikes Back (w/Wayne Frazier & Rusty Locke)

Monday Nov 18, 2019

The Countdown has been away for a couple months but we're ready to rev back into gear with a solid month of episodes catching you up to the present, one Star Wars movie at a time. This episode focuses on arguably everyone's favorite chapter of the original trilogy (or of them all) - The Empire Strikes Back. Paul and Sean are joined by actors Rusty Locke and Wayne Frazier (and Wayne's Slave-1) to talk about why this film rises above the rest. Is it Lucas taking a producer-only role? Is it an upgrade in special effects? Is it a darker tone? is it all the above? Yes.

Monday Aug 26, 2019

This month, the COUNTDOWN TO NINE crew takes on the OG Rise of Skywalker - 1977's Star Wars.

Discussed - John Williams' inspiration and genius, ways you could enjoy the movie when there was no streaming (or VHS!), the legacy of this classic and why it changed moviemaking (and moviegoing) forever.
