Video Vagabond

Video Vagabond is a filmmaking podcast that delves deep into the films of the 80s/90s and how those movies defined a generation of fans that are now creating their own influential content. Vagabond will be breaking-down films from our collective childhood, the ones that still haunt our dreams like implanted memories, the ones that defined who we were as a generation of unsupervised, bicycle-riding kids who read the Anarchist's Cookbook for fun and ate Green Berets for breakfast. This podcast is for you.

This segment of Video Vagabond is called THURSDAY NIGHT PRIME, an ongoing series where we will be breaking-down martial-arts action movies from the 80s/90s. Please welcome my first guest to the podcast, Andrew "Skip" Segal, my former college roommate and a walking movie-encyclopedia.

The first film that we will cover on TNP, will be the Jeff Speakman starring vehicle "The Perfect Weapon" (1991). Listen as we hilariously breakdown this highly-entertaining martial-arts B-action movie that was produced by Paramount and was supposed to make Speakman a household name along the lines of Jean-Claude Van Damme and Steven Seagal (spoiler, it didn't). "The Perfect Weapon" introduced the world to Kenpo Karate, a fusion of ancient Karate techniques with modern scientific principles. It also gave us one of the best (and worst) opening montage sequences of all-time! Jeff Speakman is...THE PERFECT WEAPON. Enjoy!
