EP20 - CYBERPUNK CINEMA - It's OWN dedicated podcast!

Hello there, vagabonders. This is Anthony, and I'm sending you what will be the final update/episode of VIDEO VAGABOND in its current iteration. Over the last 6 months, I have been planning my new podcast, which is an offshoot of VAGABOND - it's called CYBERPUNK CINEMA and EP1 will drop on 01/10/24!  I wanted to thank all of you listeners for checking out my podcast over the last couple of years, and I know you will LOVE what I have in store next! So, vagabonders, come over to my next podcast and become cyberpunkers! This is a subject matter that I'm extremely passionate about, and I can't wait to breakdown all things cyberpunk. So, Video Vagabond will morph into THE VIDEO VAGABOND PODCAST NETWORK and its first podcast under that umbrella will be CYBERPUNK CINEMA!  Come with me as I dive deep into the dark future of science fiction!

EP19 - Reach for the Scars (w/Dan Lorenzo)

Video Vagabond just had an awesome conversation with riff-master, song-writer, and heavy-metal guitarist DAN LORENZO. Dan has been rocking since the 1980s, with thrash-metal band HADES, to groove-metal band NON-FICTION, to his recent outings with VESSEL OF LIGHT, CASSIUS KING, and PATRIARCHS IN BLACK!  It was a wide-ranging conversation as we dove deep into song creation, killer albums, favorite movies, analog days versus digital, physical media, and how NOT to sell your soul to the devil! Dan is a really chill dude who has seen it all in the metal/rock world. He's also a prolific song-writer and riff-maker who is on his way to metal immortality. The man is a survivor and lifer of metal! He really is an inspiration and a good hang.  So this, if you haven't already noticed, is the MUSIC EPISODE. I hope you all enjoy our convo. I sprinkle in some PATRIARCHS IN BLACK songs throughout, so give it a listen and purchase his albums. Rock on! * Dan's IG - https://www.instagram.com/danlorenzock/ [https://www.instagram.com/video.vagabond/] * Dan's Website - https://www.danlorenzo.net/index.html [https://www.danlorenzo.net/index.html] * Patriarchs in Black IG - https://www.instagram.com/patriarchsinblack/ [https://www.instagram.com/patriarchsinblack/] * Anthony's IG - https://www.instagram.com/stormgiantproductions/ [https://www.instagram.com/stormgiantproductions/] * Video Vagabond IG - https://www.instagram.com/video.vagabond/ [https://www.instagram.com/video.vagabond/]

EP18 - Control Your Creative Content (w/Jon Ryan Sugimoto)

Do you want to control your creative content? Are you sick of uploading your films to a website and then seeing it forgotten days later? Have you always wanted to start your own dedicated video content channel? If so, then you've chosen the perfect podcast to listen to because we have the answers you're looking for! Video Vagabond had an excellent conversation with writer/director JON RYAN SUGIMOTO - from skater, to stand-up comic, to video content creator, to Tik Tok personality, to a filmmaker on the verge of a breakout! Jon and I discuss all things film - from script to screen, from concept to creation, from struggles to success, from casting to pre-viz, as we dive deep into the entrepreneurial/independent spirit it takes to become seen in this business.  We don't pull any punches. This is the best episode yet! Thank you, Jon, for bringing it! So sit back, relax, and enjoy the show... * Jon's IG - https://www.instagram.com/jonryanisdead/ [https://www.instagram.com/jonryanisdead/] * Jon's YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/@jonryanisdead [https://www.youtube.com/@jonryanisdead] * Anthony's IG - https://www.instagram.com/stormgiantproductions/ [https://www.instagram.com/stormgiantproductions/] * Vagabond IG - https://www.instagram.com/video.vagabond/ [ https://www.instagram.com/video.vagabond/] * Music by TONKS -https://jambox.io/artist/tonks/602ab3ab1b11fd67e5545aa7 [https://jambox.io/artist/tonks/602ab3ab1b11fd67e5545aa7]

EP17 - "Passenger 57" (1992) - The Wesley Snipes Experience - w/Skip Segal

Always bet on black! Join Skip and I as we delve deep into Part II of The Wesley Snipes Experience with the Die-Hard-On-A-Passenger-Plane turkey called PASSENGER 57 (1992). A movie that we both enjoyed as 13-year olds but did not give a fuck about in our forties.  Wesley Snipes sleepwalks and collects his paycheck in this 84 minute thrill-ride that somehow has the plane land and there is a chase through a yokel carnival! WTF. The late-great Tom Sizemore steals the movie as Sly Delvecchio, and Bruce Payne has one of the worst Alan-Rickman-ripoff performances as the villain Charles Rane (just don't call him insane!).  Stallone was originally going to star in this but he wisely chose to make STOP! OR MY MOM WILL SHOOT instead (a rare win for STOP!).  So, store your trays, put your seats in the upright position, and kindly turn off your electronic devices, because we gotta land this freakin podcast and we only got a narrow runway, tighten your seatbelts, it's gonna be a bumpy ride!

EP16 - "New Jack City" (1991) - The Wesley Snipes Experience - w/Skip Segal

You are about to witness the strength of street knowledge as Skip and I breakdown the first movie in our Action Block called The Wesley Snipes Experience with the film that started it all, NEW JACK CITY (1991)!  Come join us as we venture from 1986 to 1989, through the beginning of the crack epidemic in NYC, to Flavor Flav MCing at the Spot Lite, to Chris Rock doing his best junkie routine, to Ice-T only making 26K for his first movie and he's bringing it, to Mario Van Peebles (MVP) directing his first movie, to Judd Nelson inexplicably playing an Italian cop that should've been played by a young Johnny Depp or Michael Imperioli, and finally to Wesley Snipes absolutely killing it as the undisputed champ of drug kingpins, Nino Brown.  So, sit your five-dollar ass down before I make change, because you gotta rob to get rich in the Reagan era,  we are takin' over the Carter, because this thing is bigger than Nino Brown, this is big business, this is the American way...
