FIGHTS WITH FRIENDS PODCAST: Watch Stephen Koepfer And Paul Varacchi Talk Stunts For Film And TV In New Podcast Series
The action film podcast scene has been a bustling one over the last several years with martial arts stars and fans setting up platforms to lend their voices to the dialogue. Nowadays, listeners are welcome to add stuntmen Stephen Koepfer and Paul Varacchi who’ve since paired up for the Fights With Friends Podcast which launched back in April.
The Fights With Friends Podcast is recorded exclusively at Breakfall Studios in New York City where Koepfer and Varacchi train stunt performers and professionals alike in multiple aspects of screenfighting and choreography. Alas, the show is oriented in all aspects of stunts for film and TV, including guest interviews with fellow stuntmen and coordinators, and other industry multi-hyphenates.
There are new episodes every two weeks, and four are already available to consume to your heart’s content, with guests including stunt performer Becca GT (Kevin Can F**k Himself, Law & Order: Organized Crime), screenwriter Joshua Todd James (Pound Of Flesh, upcoming Take Cover), stuntman Calvin Ahn (Fallout, Blue Bloods), and LA-based actor and fight trainer Hugh Fitzgerald (Redbelt, The Unit).
The next episode will launch on July 4 when stuntman and coordinator Doc Duhame (Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter, Ray Donovan) chimes in with the hosts about his career, transitioning from stage shows to film and TV, screenfighting, training with bullwhips, working with Mel Gibson and Lucy Liu on Payback, and much more.
