Talkin' Sean Durkin's new film with Brian J Roan
Talkin' Luca Guadagnino's new film with Brian J. Roan
Welcome to The B-Side, from The Film Stage. Here we talk about movie stars and not the movies that made them famous or kept them famous, but the ones they made in between. Today we dig deep into the surprisingly eclectic career of action star Jet Li. Yes, Disney's live-action remake of Mulan (in which Li appears) has been delayed. But we decided to go ahead and record anyway, virus be damned! Now, although the Wushu legend made a name for himself stateside with an effective villain role in 1998's Lethal Weapon 4, he had helped revitalize the martial arts film in China a half-a-decade earlier. Our B-Sides for this episode include: Kiss Of The Dragon, Cradle 2 The Grave, War, and The Forbidden Kingdom. Despite our focus on Li's Hollywood output, we encourage our listeners to seek out stuff like Once Upon A Time In China, Hero, Fearless and Ocean Heaven. Conor and Dan are joined by good friend, Master Distiller at Shmidt Spirits, and The Film Stage Show host Brian J. Roan (@BrianJRoan). He's a Jet Li fan who admits on mic that Kiss Of The Dragon is a perfect quarantine film. And we agree! We talk about how Li and his family survived the 2004 Indian Ocean earthquake and tsunami, how Li was originally cast in Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon and how weird it is that he played someone who tries to kill Emperor Qin Shi Huang (in Hero) and then a version of the emperor himself in The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor.

Welcome to The B-Side, a podcast from The Film Stage. Here we explore movies starring established stars that flopped at the box office, have been forgotten by time, or remain hidden gems. These aren't the films that made them famous or kept them famous. These are the other ones. In a new episode, Dan Mecca is joined by podcast producer Conor O'Donnell and The Film Stage Show host Brian Roan to discuss the career of Irishman Colin Farrell, from the films that may have been met with a shrug but have aged beautifully (The New World, Miami Vice) to the rough spots (Hart's War, Daredevil) to the curiosities (Alexander) and beyond.
