During the pandemic that hit our unfortunate globe at the beginning of the spring of this year, almost everyone was put under “house arrest,” which we all called self-isolation.
Мы already published videos telling how stuntmen and action movie actors experienced idleness at home. And we cannot help but note the method by which our everything from the world of hand-to-hand cinema entertained ourselves and others - the British Scott Adkins (Undisputed franchise).
Scott decided to conduct so-called podcasts, which were based on interviewing people he knew in the film business via Skype. From the very first release, it became clear that with this new Youtube show Adkins made his fans and lovers of combat cinema happy much more than with another film about the adventures of Yuri Boyko.
In these videos, Scott asks questions and simply has a pleasant conversation with action movie stars, stuntmen, action choreographers and directors. Such conversations are also interesting because Adkins himself is a professional in his field who knows about the industry, as they say, from the inside. In addition, the Briton, as a rule, is a big fan of those whom he invites to “visit” him.
Unfortunately, a complete translation of all parts of the podcast, which received the name “The Art of Action” (The Art of Action), does not exist. However, in official public fans of Scott Adkins' work on the social network VKontakte are gradually releasing a short summary of conversations with guests.
Well, if someone understands English well, we highly recommend this show. Ultimately, this will significantly enrich your knowledge of action cinema, specific films and the people associated with them. We will post all episodes of the podcast in this material as they are released online.
