Speaker 1: I guess you could say it's old time radio fun
0:02
Speaker 1: where you take a song and you break it up
0:04
Speaker 1: and you share the story and see if you the
0:07
Speaker 1: listener can identify it because you live with these songs
0:10
Speaker 1: more than what we do. Oh sure we play them,
0:13
Speaker 1: but you add them to your lifestyle. It's called Music's
0:16
Speaker 1: Lost History. You can find it on Aero dot net,
0:19
Speaker 1: Arrooe dot net. Enjoy your exploration, Michael Michael Michael. I
0:26
Speaker 1: have experienced this movie, and I'm glad we've got eighteen
0:28
Speaker 1: minutes to share it because this is an experience.
0:32
Speaker 2: Sir. Wow, thank you. RO appreciate it, sir, well what you.
0:36
Speaker 1: Do with this movie, it combines so many different things
0:39
Speaker 1: because I want to sit down with other mema people
0:42
Speaker 1: that I studied with and grew into combat karate with,
0:45
Speaker 1: because this is the kind of stuff. The fighting was
0:48
Speaker 1: so authentic. It wasn't flying through the air like pigeons
0:51
Speaker 1: or anything like that, and you made it very real.
0:53
Speaker 1: Did you have a lot to do with that?
0:55
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know what I did actually because we had
0:58
Speaker 3: a great stunt team that kara graph the scenes. But
1:01
Speaker 3: then kind of when I showed up, you know, given
1:04
Speaker 3: my background in mixed martial arts. I assume a lot
1:07
Speaker 3: of that community is going to watch this film, and
1:10
Speaker 3: you know, it's going to be realistic. You know, it's
1:13
Speaker 3: got to be true to what I do. And I've
1:16
Speaker 3: done martial arts my entire life, and I know what
1:18
Speaker 3: works and I know what doesn't work, and I know
1:20
Speaker 3: what's nonsense. And I often find myself scratching my head
1:24
Speaker 3: when I watch a film and I think that's just pathetic,
1:26
Speaker 3: that's just kind of weak. So so I definitely added
1:30
Speaker 3: in my own flavor here and there and made it
1:31
Speaker 3: a bit more realistic and a bit more gritty. And
1:34
Speaker 3: I'm very lucky that the you know, the team around
1:37
Speaker 3: was willing to let me do that. So yeah, I'm
1:41
Speaker 3: really proud of it. Obviously, it's my first ever lead role,
1:44
Speaker 3: so that brought a lot of pressure with it, working
1:46
Speaker 3: alongside people like Cuba Good and Juny and that's.
1:48
Speaker 2: An Oscar winner as well.
1:50
Speaker 3: So yeah, you know, it comes out in August twenty first,
1:53
Speaker 3: as you said, and yeah, we're really pleased with it.
1:56
Speaker 1: Well, I was really taken back right there in the
1:58
Speaker 1: very beginning. I mean the fight scene right there at
2:00
Speaker 1: the start, I'm going, oh my god, hold on now,
2:03
Speaker 1: I forgot to put my seatbelt on. I mean, you guys,
2:06
Speaker 1: go at it right from the start and set the tone.
2:10
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's right.
2:11
Speaker 3: That's why it starts with like a flashback scene of
2:15
Speaker 3: my fighting days, because my character in the film was
2:18
Speaker 3: a street fighter that was kind of involved with shall
2:21
Speaker 3: we say, like the mob in Los Angeles, and my
2:24
Speaker 3: character ends up getting shots and then he disappears back
2:28
Speaker 3: to England to save his life. And then fifteen years later,
2:33
Speaker 3: my mentor and best friend has died, so I come
2:36
Speaker 3: back to Los Angeles for the funeral, and I find
2:39
Speaker 3: out that his son has kind of fallen into the
2:41
Speaker 3: same trap with the same people that I was involved with,
2:45
Speaker 3: and I kind of owe it to my dead friend
2:46
Speaker 3: that I can't allow his son and his whole family
2:49
Speaker 3: to fall into the same.
2:50
Speaker 2: Trap that I was involved with.
2:52
Speaker 3: So yes, straight away we opened up with a flashback
2:55
Speaker 3: fight scene where you know where I'm kicking ass if
2:58
Speaker 3: you will, and then I come by for the funeral
3:01
Speaker 3: and then I discover what's going on, and then yeah,
3:04
Speaker 3: from there, it's not really an mma movie. It's more
3:06
Speaker 3: of a heist movie. We've got, yeah, we got we
3:10
Speaker 3: got a lot of gun play We've got a lot
3:12
Speaker 3: of action, We've got a lot of robberies in heist
3:15
Speaker 3: and stuff like that. So yeah, it's it's a cool film,
3:18
Speaker 3: and I'm really proud of it.
3:20
Speaker 1: I'm so glad that you said that about the MMA
3:22
Speaker 1: and a heist film, because I wrote in my notes,
3:24
Speaker 1: I said, I went to a fight movie and it
3:26
Speaker 1: came out as a as a heist movie. And to me,
3:29
Speaker 1: that was the twist in it, the unexpected journey, and
3:32
Speaker 1: all of a sudden you thought you were attached to
3:35
Speaker 1: the movie before. Now you're really dug in and it's like, okay,
3:38
Speaker 1: let's get to the bottom of this and let's figure
3:40
Speaker 1: out what's going on.
3:42
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, no, exactly. You know, I mean, listen, you
3:45
Speaker 3: know I'm all for MMA movies. Don't get me wrong.
3:47
Speaker 3: I'm an MMA fighter formerly, so you know that that
3:50
Speaker 3: holds a special place in my heart. But this is
3:53
Speaker 3: like your typical corny you know, straight to DVD action film.
3:57
Speaker 3: You know, it's definitely got a lot more subs, it's
4:00
Speaker 3: got a great script, and in fact, you know, originally
4:03
Speaker 3: this film, you know, we had a couple of sales
4:06
Speaker 3: companies that were going to sell the film for us,
4:08
Speaker 3: but they wanted to bring in different actors, they wanted
4:10
Speaker 3: someone else as the lead, they wanted to change the
4:12
Speaker 3: script and make a lot of changes, and slowly but
4:16
Speaker 3: surely started to become the film that wasn't written, that
4:20
Speaker 3: we didn't want to make. So the director and my
4:23
Speaker 3: partners we formed our own production company and we sourced
4:27
Speaker 3: outside finance, which wasn't easy to do, but we managed
4:30
Speaker 3: to pull it off, and then we made the film
4:32
Speaker 3: that we wanted to make, So we're really proud of that.
4:36
Speaker 3: You know, we bootstrapped it, we found the finance ourselves,
4:39
Speaker 3: and as I said, we made the authentic film that
4:41
Speaker 3: we wanted to make.
4:43
Speaker 2: And yeah, it's a really.
4:44
Speaker 3: Good story, lots of twists and turns, and yeah it's
4:48
Speaker 3: not just mma action. There's a lot of gunplay and
4:50
Speaker 3: stuff like that, as I said, And it's more about
4:53
Speaker 3: our heist and a revenge story than anything else.
4:56
Speaker 1: So what was that like for you to do that
4:57
Speaker 1: gun play? Because you know how it is as martial artists,
5:00
Speaker 1: what we're supposed to do with arkadas or our pumsays
5:03
Speaker 1: and things, and it does involve a lot of gunplay.
5:05
Speaker 1: But now when you're in this movie, I mean you're
5:07
Speaker 1: physically using that gun more than the martial art itself.
5:10
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, that's right. Yeah, I was very lucky.
5:12
Speaker 3: I went up to a place called Tarrant Tactical, which
5:15
Speaker 3: is like a legendary gun range where Keanu Reeves trained
5:20
Speaker 3: for when he did the John Wick films and stuff
5:23
Speaker 3: like that, and it's where all the big names go
5:26
Speaker 3: up and train. So we spent a few days up
5:28
Speaker 3: there learning how to use the guns to make sure
5:30
Speaker 3: it's realistic in moving, our speed of readloading and things
5:35
Speaker 3: like that. So obviously it's got to look authentic on
5:38
Speaker 3: the film, and being a brit you know, I'm not
5:42
Speaker 3: overly familiar with guns. I've used guns on saying on
5:45
Speaker 3: sets before, but like there was a lot in this
5:48
Speaker 3: and I've got to be able to reload and make
5:49
Speaker 3: it look realistic and hold the gun properly and hold
5:53
Speaker 3: the rest of it. So where everything was very there
5:56
Speaker 3: was a lot of attention to detail. So yeah, we
5:58
Speaker 3: work with tarant Tactical, who has I say, he's a
6:01
Speaker 3: legendary gun guy.
6:02
Speaker 2: He's the fastest shooter in the world, who's will not belt.
6:05
Speaker 3: Tasled many many times, and him and his partner you
6:08
Speaker 3: had to spend a lot of time making sure that
6:10
Speaker 3: we look realistic doing what we're doing.
6:13
Speaker 2: So yeah, it came out really well.
6:15
Speaker 1: Well, I love the idea that you're using that word
6:17
Speaker 1: realistic because right away that's taken me back to my sense. Hey,
6:19
Speaker 1: Julio Hildegra, who used to tell me all the time
6:22
Speaker 1: it is martial arts arts, make sure they believe when
6:27
Speaker 1: you go over the hip, when you go over someone's shoulder,
6:30
Speaker 1: make it all about the arts. And I felt that
6:33
Speaker 1: in this movie, is that you truly understood the martial
6:36
Speaker 1: arts side of movie making.
6:38
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, absolutely.
6:39
Speaker 3: As I said, I was very lucky enough to have
6:42
Speaker 3: the five choreogras graphers allow me to insert a little
6:47
Speaker 3: bit of myself because, as I said, you know, a
6:48
Speaker 3: lot of the MMA world are watching this, so they
6:50
Speaker 3: don't want some kind of nonsense stuff. They don't want
6:53
Speaker 3: stuff that looks unbelievable, people flying through the air. And
6:57
Speaker 3: you know, it's not a komfi film. This is a real,
7:01
Speaker 3: gritty kind of highestrama, you know. So I wanted the
7:05
Speaker 3: action to be real, to be impactful, to be violent,
7:10
Speaker 3: and yeah we pulled it off.
7:11
Speaker 2: So yeah, really proud.
7:12
Speaker 1: Of it, dude. I was really afraid of Klay Emerson.
7:15
Speaker 1: I mean Cuba Gooding, Oh my god, I mean he
7:18
Speaker 1: puts so much of his Oh. I mean it's because
7:21
Speaker 1: right away it starts affecting your emotion and you go, oh,
7:25
Speaker 1: this is going to be a good ride here. And
7:27
Speaker 1: then because you have to be able to read into
7:29
Speaker 1: every character and each one has their own personality and balance.
7:33
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, that's right. I mean Cuba showed up and
7:35
Speaker 3: he was so down to worth, you know. I mean,
7:37
Speaker 3: the man was an Oscar winner for crying out loud.
7:39
Speaker 3: So I felt a lot of pressure, you know, performing
7:42
Speaker 3: with someone of that kind of caliber, you know. And
7:44
Speaker 3: on the first day, I had like three or four
7:47
Speaker 3: pages of dialogue and I'm like, I hope I deliver.
7:49
Speaker 3: I don't want him thinking what is this movie that
7:52
Speaker 3: I'm doing here? Because this guy can't even act.
7:54
Speaker 2: But he was so cool. He put me at ease
7:57
Speaker 2: straight away.
7:58
Speaker 3: And I certainly learned a lot from him because every
8:01
Speaker 3: single time we did a take, his take was completely different,
8:05
Speaker 3: and the words that he was using were completely different
8:08
Speaker 3: as well. They still had the same message in the sentiment,
8:11
Speaker 3: but the sentences and the words were completely different. He
8:14
Speaker 3: was just odd libbing and making them up as he
8:16
Speaker 3: went along. So I didn't realize you could do that. So, Yeah,
8:21
Speaker 3: certainly learned a lot from the guy. He's an absolute legend,
8:24
Speaker 3: and he certainly brought a lot to the character.
8:27
Speaker 2: You know.
8:27
Speaker 3: I mean, he's got a wealth of experience and knowledge,
8:31
Speaker 3: and yeah, he showed up.
8:32
Speaker 2: Man. He really did.
8:34
Speaker 1: One of the most powerful scenes throughout the entire movie.
8:36
Speaker 1: You're talking about keeping it authentic for MMA fighters, and
8:39
Speaker 1: that is when you stepped into that ring all by
8:42
Speaker 1: yourself and the lighting was dimmed. We all saw ourselves
8:47
Speaker 1: in that in there by by doing the you know,
8:49
Speaker 1: the shadow boxing and the kicking and just to be
8:52
Speaker 1: alone in that ring. That is a powerful statement that
8:55
Speaker 1: you put in the center of this movie.
8:58
Speaker 2: And yeah, well thank you.
8:59
Speaker 3: Yeah mean, turning to my roots after being out of
9:02
Speaker 3: the country for fifteen years and then I go back
9:04
Speaker 3: to the old gym where I used to train, and
9:07
Speaker 3: just a bunch of memories come flooding back to me,
9:10
Speaker 3: and I get in the ring and I'm just like,
9:12
Speaker 3: you know, I'm just I'm just reminiscing and thinking about
9:15
Speaker 3: old times and everything I've been through and all the
9:18
Speaker 3: experiences and the relationships that I've built and all the
9:21
Speaker 3: training camps I've been through in this building, and then
9:23
Speaker 3: of course my own friends show up, and then then
9:26
Speaker 3: I start to discover and learn what's been going on
9:28
Speaker 3: whilst I've been away, the trouble that they've all fallen into,
9:32
Speaker 3: the kind of the money that sold the stakes, you know,
9:37
Speaker 3: that are cost here, and people's lives are on the
9:40
Speaker 3: line and things like that. So yeah, it's kind of
9:42
Speaker 3: a heavy film, but it turned out really good.
9:45
Speaker 1: As I say, well, and well, let's get back to
9:47
Speaker 1: the highest part of the story here, because it's all
9:48
Speaker 1: about the payroll. Let's make sure that everybody is getting paid.
9:51
Speaker 1: If you're going to participate, you got to pay. I mean,
9:53
Speaker 1: you guys really do go into the darkness of what
9:56
Speaker 1: it's like to be in a situation like this, because
9:58
Speaker 1: there is an underground here that we we all have
10:00
Speaker 1: talked about but we've never really felt it until Atlas
10:04
Speaker 1: King and you feel the impact.
10:08
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, you know, certainly for myself sadly, growing up
10:12
Speaker 3: in the northwest of England mixed martial arts back in
10:15
Speaker 3: the day, it was kind of the wild West and
10:18
Speaker 3: there was a lot of unsavory characters and the first
10:21
Speaker 3: management team that I was involved with.
10:23
Speaker 2: They were full.
10:25
Speaker 3: On gangsters, you know, and then they were high level
10:28
Speaker 3: and I had no idea. I had no idea what
10:30
Speaker 3: I was getting involved with. So I certainly had a
10:33
Speaker 3: lot of motivation and real life circumstances to draw up on.
10:36
Speaker 3: And I think you can see that in the film,
10:38
Speaker 3: because you know, I went through some tough times trying
10:42
Speaker 3: to get away from these guys. And yeah, I mean
10:45
Speaker 3: in this one here I show up in LA and
10:48
Speaker 3: you know, my friend's family are all like their neck
10:51
Speaker 3: deep in a lot of trouble. The consequences are high.
10:53
Speaker 3: They're going to be killed as they don't come up
10:55
Speaker 3: with this money and this and that. So we develop
10:58
Speaker 3: a bit of a scheme, uh and you know, to
11:01
Speaker 3: con some people and rip some people off and we
11:04
Speaker 3: pull off a heist and then you know, there might
11:06
Speaker 3: be some double crossing along the way and stuff. But yeah,
11:09
Speaker 3: I mean, it all works out in the end. But
11:11
Speaker 3: I don't want to ruin the film.
11:13
Speaker 1: Please do not move. There is more with Michael Bisping
11:16
Speaker 1: coming up next. The name of this unbelievable movie is
11:21
Speaker 1: called Atlas King. We are back with actor and MMA
11:26
Speaker 1: star Michael Bisping. What's so fun about this is the
11:29
Speaker 1: fact that those of us that have studied martial arts
11:31
Speaker 1: and we have done those little fights behind the scenes,
11:34
Speaker 1: because they do exist in the real world. I'll never
11:37
Speaker 1: forget mine because I was taken to a doctor. I
11:39
Speaker 1: had no freaking clue where they even took me. All
11:41
Speaker 1: I knew was is that I shattered my ribs. And
11:44
Speaker 1: that's what I liked about this, and I fell deeper
11:45
Speaker 1: in love with his story because you do show that
11:48
Speaker 1: shadowed area of the MMA story.
11:51
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, listen, you know, I mean, fighting is a
11:53
Speaker 3: tough business and it's not for everybody, and suddenly along
11:56
Speaker 3: the way, injuries are a part of it. You know,
12:00
Speaker 3: people do get hurts. Let's be honest. The objection of
12:03
Speaker 3: a fight is to knock out your opponents, to render
12:05
Speaker 3: them unconscious or so made them submit, you know, So
12:08
Speaker 3: along the way, you know, stuff does happen. I mean,
12:11
Speaker 3: I had a long career in the octagon for almost
12:14
Speaker 3: twenty years, and you know I see here now with
12:17
Speaker 3: seven next surgeries, two total knee replacements, one fake. I
12:21
Speaker 3: so I've certainly walked to the walk, and now I
12:25
Speaker 3: can talk the talk. And then now hopefully I've got
12:28
Speaker 3: the experience to bring it on and portray it on
12:30
Speaker 3: the screen. And you know, we had a great team
12:32
Speaker 3: around us, great actors, great stunt guys and everything.
12:35
Speaker 2: All in all, it all camps together and as I say,
12:39
Speaker 2: really proud of it. You know.
12:40
Speaker 1: One of the things that this movie offers and it
12:42
Speaker 1: just really does have that tinge to it in the
12:45
Speaker 1: way that you guys deliver one lines. And what I
12:47
Speaker 1: mean by that is is that one line comes through,
12:50
Speaker 1: and that the impact of that one sentence was that
12:52
Speaker 1: Cuba Gooding Junior working through you guys in the way
12:55
Speaker 1: that he's also known for one line, like, for instance,
12:58
Speaker 1: can I pat you down? I don't want you to
12:59
Speaker 1: pack down because I know you're going for something here.
13:02
Speaker 1: So therefore it's like, you guys deliver things here one
13:06
Speaker 1: word or one sentence at a time, and we feel
13:08
Speaker 1: the impact.
13:10
Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, Well it's the intensity.
13:12
Speaker 3: And because we're walking into a meeting in the scene
13:14
Speaker 3: that you're talking about, and we're going to discuss how
13:16
Speaker 3: things are going to go down, and they're trying to
13:18
Speaker 3: pay me down, and I'm like, you ain't gonna pay
13:19
Speaker 3: me down. And what I mean by that is you ain't.
13:21
Speaker 3: You ain't paying me, You're not patting me down. You
13:25
Speaker 3: know I don't need patting down. I'm not here to
13:27
Speaker 3: do what you think I have. If I have got
13:29
Speaker 3: a gun, that's my business. If I haven't got a gun,
13:32
Speaker 3: then I haven't got a gun. But regardless, you ain't
13:35
Speaker 3: paying me down, buddy. We're not here for that. We're
13:37
Speaker 3: here to all like men. And you have a trust
13:39
Speaker 3: me or you don't trust me. And as I say,
13:41
Speaker 3: it's kind of you know that threatening tone, but also
13:45
Speaker 3: you know setting you stole out.
13:47
Speaker 2: That you're not scared, even though I.
13:49
Speaker 3: Should be because this guy's a serious man. But like
13:52
Speaker 3: you gotta hold your ground in these situations if you're
13:54
Speaker 3: going to be respected.
13:56
Speaker 1: You know when you when you're into the movie making now,
13:58
Speaker 1: because I guarantee you're gonna be doing a ton more
14:00
Speaker 1: because I can feel your emotion and your intent in
14:02
Speaker 1: making sure that people really do get authentic fighting movies.
14:05
Speaker 1: But the thing is is that when when you look
14:07
Speaker 1: at the entire picture, I see the trophies, the belts,
14:09
Speaker 1: I see the in the ring experiences. Do you ever
14:12
Speaker 1: look at your martial arts training throughout the years as
14:15
Speaker 1: being still that celebration of knowledge that they drove into
14:18
Speaker 1: our heads as students. It is a celebration of knowledge.
14:22
Speaker 1: And now acting, is that not part of the celebration
14:25
Speaker 1: of knowledge?
14:26
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, absolutely, you know, I mean, I mean, and
14:30
Speaker 3: that's why this whole acting phase of my life has
14:33
Speaker 3: kind of come around, because I never considered myself an
14:37
Speaker 3: ice and I got an opportunity along the way, and then.
14:39
Speaker 2: Slowly but surely I enjoyed it.
14:42
Speaker 3: But it's everything that I did in mixed martial arts
14:45
Speaker 3: and now I have those skills that I can use
14:48
Speaker 3: in another realm, which is great. But then on top
14:51
Speaker 3: of that, it's also the work ethic. It's also the discipline.
14:54
Speaker 3: It's also the preparation. You know, I mean, showing up
14:58
Speaker 3: to do a movie like this, and you know, you
15:00
Speaker 3: got to know the dialogue of an entire film. There's
15:03
Speaker 3: a lot of prep that goes into that. Well, there's
15:05
Speaker 3: a lot of prep that goes into fighting at the
15:08
Speaker 3: highest level.
15:09
Speaker 2: And if you've got the discipline to do that and
15:12
Speaker 2: see the course and stick.
15:14
Speaker 3: To it and do your homework and sit there and
15:16
Speaker 3: spend many many nights reading the script by yourself, you know,
15:21
Speaker 3: there's a lot of work it's not just show what
15:23
Speaker 3: be a tough guy and try and look convincing on camera.
15:26
Speaker 2: You've got to do the work.
15:27
Speaker 3: Behind the scenes. And it's exactly the same for a
15:30
Speaker 3: lot of things in life. But certainly if you're preparing
15:32
Speaker 3: for a fight at the highest level a Madison Square
15:36
Speaker 3: guard who with twenty thousand people watching, you got to
15:39
Speaker 3: do the work.
15:40
Speaker 2: My friend.
15:42
Speaker 1: I've got to give kudos to your editing department because
15:44
Speaker 1: when the scenes are taking place in Chinatown, I think
15:47
Speaker 1: the average human is going to automatically connect it to
15:50
Speaker 1: San Francisco, but your editing team capt reminding us with
15:53
Speaker 1: that skyline of Los Angeles. No, this is La La.
15:58
Speaker 1: And that's what I love about what you do with
15:59
Speaker 1: this movie is that if we miss something, you come
16:02
Speaker 1: back to it and you remind us of where we are.
16:06
Speaker 2: Yeah.
16:06
Speaker 3: Yeah, And we're really proud of that because these days,
16:08
Speaker 3: not a lot of films get shot in LA for
16:11
Speaker 3: various reasons, and we really wanted to showcase that, you know,
16:14
Speaker 3: so we shot the film in downtown LA which just
16:17
Speaker 3: looks unbelievable on camera. Obviously, it's you know that there's
16:21
Speaker 3: nice areas and there's a lot of gritty areas, and
16:24
Speaker 3: it just looks so good on film, and then obviously
16:27
Speaker 3: around the LA area, there's so many people that are
16:30
Speaker 3: passionate about film and TV. So we had an amazing
16:33
Speaker 3: crew and everyone on there, they cared for this.
16:36
Speaker 2: Film so much, you know.
16:38
Speaker 3: I mean, we had a decent budget, but it certainly
16:40
Speaker 3: wasn't a budget of like some of these blockbusters.
16:43
Speaker 2: But everyone showed up. They gave it the role.
16:45
Speaker 3: The sets looked amazing, the locations were phenomenal, and downtown
16:50
Speaker 3: Los Angeles, as I said, just on camera, looks phenomenal.
16:54
Speaker 1: Oh it does. You guys did such a fantastic job.
16:56
Speaker 1: You got to tell me when you're going to come
16:58
Speaker 1: back to this show, because we're just scratching the surface.
17:00
Speaker 1: You're onto yourself, onto something here that's going to be
17:03
Speaker 1: so freaking big, and I just I just feel that
17:06
Speaker 1: the future belongs to your decisions.
17:09
Speaker 3: Well I hope everyone else feels the same way here
17:12
Speaker 3: as you do, my friend, because you're very complimentious. So
17:15
Speaker 3: thank you for the kind words, and I can feel
17:16
Speaker 3: the genuine enthusiasm, so thank you. And yeah, I mean
17:20
Speaker 3: it comes out next week, so I guess we'll see
17:22
Speaker 3: what the wider masses.
17:23
Speaker 2: Say, because you know how people can be.
17:25
Speaker 3: Because I think a lot of people are going to think,
17:27
Speaker 3: you know, oh, this is an MMA film and this
17:30
Speaker 3: guy can't act and things like that, which which which listen,
17:34
Speaker 3: I get it.
17:35
Speaker 2: I understand.
17:36
Speaker 3: I am a former fighter, so some people who just
17:38
Speaker 3: said this guy's a knucklehead. But I have been working
17:41
Speaker 3: at this for twenty years. I did work very closely
17:43
Speaker 3: with the director. There was a tremendous amount of prep.
17:46
Speaker 3: We've got a good cast, the script is good, the
17:49
Speaker 3: story is good, the executions there and we're really happy
17:53
Speaker 3: with it. So yeah, and we will see what people say.
17:56
Speaker 3: We'll see how it's received. But I certainly hope there's
17:58
Speaker 3: more to come in the future.
18:00
Speaker 1: You've bet will you be brilliant today? Okay, sir?
18:03
Speaker 2: Oh well, thank you iar. Likewise,
