KICKBACK PODCAST: Chatting It Up Among Jackie Chan Fans
On Thursday I had the distinct pleasure of being one of a crowd of folks to offer soundbytes of nostalgia and appreciation for the work of action star Jackie Chan. This comes as the 11th episode of the Kickback Podcast with Chris Jones went live this week with a multitude of voices weighing in, including stunt performers, podcast hosts, film producers and even martial arts students therein.

This time however, things are a lot more different with Couche now looking to pivot from his usual short-duration projects to developing and actually shooting a feature length film now in the form of arthouse-style assassin thriller, Fallen Blade. Fallen Blade is an art-house action anthology with an innovative approach to storytelling and blistering action sequences. It’s a traditional assassin revenge tale shown through the eyes of […]
