Binge Movie Aftertaste: Man Down Edition w/ Adam Simon and Jack Valley
Welcome to this very special edition of the Binge Movie Aftertaste. As I put the final touches on planning out the next set of retrospectives on this holiday season, I have been in the midst of putting together some special interviews as well. And no interview subject is more important to the Binge airwaves than that of the one and only Adam Simon. Ok, Spielberg. Maybe.
When Jack and I started putting this thing together, we figured we would have Adam on for forty-five minutes, hour tops. Adam was actually gracious enough to give us over eighty minutes of his time, and truth be told, we could have spoken to him longer.
There are many subjects covered here. But first and foremost, Adam speaks about that kick ass trailer which dropped a couple weeks ago for a little movie called Man Down, opening December 2nd. You might have heard of it. The movie was written in Adam’s car as he lived on the streets of a hard ridden LA. Adam talks at length about what it was like jacking pimps to live, all while penning the script to the film that would eventually go on to help buy him a new apartment. A couple years and many shed blood sweat and tears after living on the streets, and Man Down‘s trailer has become the most trended Facebook topic for four days straight.
Want more? How about stories of Adam and his run ins with ‘suits,’ his thoughts on our newly elected President, and what really happened with Synapse. Oh, and what is a podcast with me and Jack without him busting my balls a bit? And when Adam gets involved, it turns into an entire bashing session.
We once again want to thank Adam for taking the time to talk to us, and please be sure to check out Man Down when it is released December 2nd.
