Video Vagabond

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.

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 m...

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 t...

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...

Fast-forward eats the tape! We are back vagabonders with another action-packed episode of VIDEO VAGABOND. This a SKIP SPECIAL episode, as our boy Skip picks the episode before the next ACTION BLOCK (to be announced at the end of this EP, so you gotta' listen to find out!).  Shane Black sold this script for 1.75-million on spec in 1990. That is a shit-ton of money back then. Bruce Willis, Shan...

It is finally here...the one...the only...OUT FOR JUSTICE! This is by far our best episode yet and it's definitely our favorite action movie that we have covered on Video Vagabond! This is Steven Seagal at his very best - speaking fluent Italian and Spanish, buying a six-pack of seltzer water from some punk kid on the street, beating the living shit out of a pimp and throwing the pimp through...

We were...

Hello, Films Fans! My apologies for my lack of pods lately, but I'm knee deep in pre-pro for my new short film, ROOKIE CARD, that I'm shooting in late-August. That has obviously occupied a lot of time, understandably, but I'm eager to get back on the airwaves and continue to talk all things Vagabond!  Here's a sneak-preview of the next TEN episodes! -Skip and I will be breaking...

Video Vagabond celebrates it's double-digit entry with two Van Dammes for the price of one as we hilariously breakdown one of our TOP FIVE JCVD FILMS - "Double Impact" (1991). This film absolutely rocks. It's filled with loads of unintentional comedy, great fight sequences, memorable quotes, and balls-to-the-wall action. DOUBLE IMPACT tells that tale of two twin brothers, separ...

Video Vagabond returns with an action-packed episode of Thursday Night Prime, with the Brandon Lee starring vehicle, "Rapid Fire" (1992)!

Thursday Night Prime returns to Video Vagabond with the 1991 action-comedy, SHOWDOWN IN LITTLE TOKYO!

CYBERPUNK Cinema makes it's victorious return to Video Vagabond with the much maligned, often mocked, yet sometimes great and thought-provoking Brett Leonard Virtual-Frankenstein 1992 box office hit, "The Lawnmower Man"!  Three decades since its release, THE LAWNMOWER MAN is an enigma - it's as bad as you feared, but way better than you remembered. Pierce Brosnan stars as Dr. L...

Skip and I breakdown the thrilling conclusion to the unofficial CRAIG R BAXLEY ACTION TRILOGY with the Brian "The Boz" Bosworth starring vehicle, "Stone Cold" (1991).

This segment of Video Vagabond is called CYBERPUNK CINEMA, an ongoing breakdown of Cyberpunk films from the 80s/90s, a genre of science fiction that jacked-into the sub-culture of the "high tech/low life" future where cybernetic implants made us less human.   The year is 1995. Hollywood has finally caught up to the Cyberpunk craze that started, cinematically, with "Blade Runner&quot...
