Countdown to Nine: Ep. Twelve - The Rise of The Podcast (w/Adam Witt, Robert Reeves & Lacey Gilleran)

Wednesday May 05, 2021

What's this? 500 days after The Rise of Skywalker hit theaters, Paul and Sean, sitting back and reflecting on profiling every Star Wars movie on the Countdown to Nine show, realize they never talked about what it was all leading up to - Episode IX. Old guests return (Movie Guy Adam Witt and fan filmmaker Robert Reeves), old bits return (the comedy plot recap), and there's new stuff (including first-time guest, The Resistance Broadcast's Lacey Gilleran). This may be the film with the most extensive once-over yet on the show and there's ample talk about what's next for Star Wars.

Friday Dec 20, 2019

Countdown to Nine wraps up its look at the movies of the Star Wars franchise on the day of The Rise of Skywalker's release with this once-over of Episode VIII - The Last Jedi. Sean & Paul are joined by Paul's partner in crime at The Movie Guys, Adam Witt and very special guest Luke Skywalker! Also, David Beach comments. You'll find no bigger champion of every Star Wars movie ever made than Adam Witt and he lays down why The Last Jedi is a masterpiece, along with the usual Countdown to Nine nonsense - a comedy recap, making-of stories and theories about where the franchise goes from here.

Countdown to Nine: Ep. Ten - An Episode Thirty-Two Years in the Making (w/Brian Crewe)

Sunday Dec 15, 2019

When you wait thirty-two years for a movie, you tend to go on about it, as evidenced by this EPIC episode of Countdown to Nine all about Star Wars: Episode VII - The Force Awakens. Paul & Sean are joined by filmmaker Brian Crewe to talk about the making of, hype and impact of TFA. Plus, The Rise of Skywalker theories and Brian talks about the George Lucas effect on his alma mater, USC.

Joining Sean and Paul are actor Daniel Betances and the O.G. Mace - Mace Towani - from the Ewok movies, Caravan of Courage and The Battle for Endor - Eric Walker!

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.

Countdown to Nine: Ep. Seven - Star Wars: The Movie That Changed Our Lives (w/Mike J. Nichols)

Monday Aug 26, 2019

This month, the COUNTDOWN TO NINE crew takes on the OG Rise of Skywalker - 1977's Star Wars. Paul and Sean dispense with the plot recap because there's much to discuss about this legendary fantasy film. Sitting in is editor (Phantom Editor!) and friend of The Movie Guys, Mike J. Nichols. 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.
