The Countdown Movie Show

After waiting a LONG time for a Spider-Man movie, could fans of the webbed wonder get something better than Sam Raimi's 2002 original? Turns out - hell, yes! Spider-Man 2 is a wild epic with ingenious visual effects and a strong villain and Sean, Justin, and Paul are here for it! Plus, long time friend of the hosts Ryan Paregien sits in the whole show for the Spidey 2 cross-talk, and the quizzes, this time provided by Paul (not wanting to back down from a challenge!).

Do you hear the people sing? Singing the song of SPIDER-MAN! Yup, the latest focus for The Countdown Movie Show is your friendly, neighborhood web slinger. This podcast series leads up to the new film, Brand New Day, and starts back with 2002's Spider-Man, directed by Sam Raimi. That film is the topic of today's show: the alternate casting, the stakes of bringing such a popular superhero to the screen, and the iconic imagery, actors, and scenes that made the film great! Sean, Justin, and Paul talk about it all and more.

Is this the end of the Avatar trilogy, or will there be more to come? It's clear, at least, that three movies in, James Cameron isn't slowing down on AMBITION. Sean, Justin, and Paul go deep on how Avatar: Fire and Ash's pre-production IS production, whether or not high frame rate is an experience-killer, and if Spider got redeemed. Plus, the team breaks out their Dennis Miller impersonations, ChatGPT plays a part in the quiz, and a name-the-movie-by-its-plot game. And if you're not singing Rogers & Hammerstein at the end, you're not paying attention...

Pop quiz - longer wait? Between Titanic and Avatar? Or between Avatar and Avatar: The Way of Water? It's the long, wait between Avatar and its sequel that wins by a year (thirteen to twelve)! Worth the wait? Justin, Sean, and Paul dive into it from the advancements in technology to new story points (Amrita, anyone?) to the crowds SHOWING UP to the tune of over two billion dollars. Other things are debated like Spider - do we like him? Edie Falco - is she aware the film was released? And much more!

All hail the return of the EVENT MOVIE! James Cameron's epic Avatar hit screens in 2009 after Cameron's twelve year absence from narrative film and the result was a game-changing super-blockbuster. Paul, Justin, and Sean discuss their first time seeing the film, it's impact, legacy, the technological advances, characters, science, action, and more that makes up this WHOLE lotta movie. Plus, Justin runs a game of "Pandora or Not?", fun facts and more. The movie is a LOT, the show is a LOT. Enjoy!
