254. Kieran Bew on fencing, Shakespeare and acting

I have a lovely conversation with Kieran Bew who plays Bill O’Hara on HBOMAX’s Warrior. Kieran shares stories from the set of Warrior and the weather challenges they faced in Cape Town on the very first day of filming.

Warrior fans have been thrilled with my recent lineup of guests… So have I! While I love talking about Warrior, it has been even more fascinating to get to know the actors behind the characters.

92. Greg Lynch on set design for Hollywood films

I apologize for my scratchy voice today as you know I have recently returned from China and my allergies are in full swing! However, I did not want to let that stop me from having a fun chat with Greg Lynch on set design and indie filmmaking.

84. Gene Ching on China’s film market, lightsaber training, and kung fu movies

Gene Ching is the editor of Kung Fu Tai Chi Magazine. Last time he was a guest on the show we discussed weapon making, fencing, drugs, and his evolution as a journalist. Today we discuss the China film market and its relationship to Hollywood. Is China going to take over as the #1 film economy in the world? Listen in for Gene’s opinion and his take on what is happening in the film industry today. We also geek out about lightsaber training, weapons, and reminisce about old school kung fu movies.

22. Gene Ching on Weapons, Drug Intervention, and Fencing

Gene Ching keeps busy. He is the publisher of Kung Fu Magazine, a martial artist, a fencing expert, and is the Psychiatric Crisis Intervention Supervisor in which he volunteers his time in drug and psychiatric crisis intervention at music events. I had the pleasure of talking with him about all of these areas of expertise. I also learned more about ancient weapons, making weapons, and his new show Man at Arms: Art of War on the El Ray Network.
