Description

In this episode, Adam is joined by martial artist and action film star Scott Adkins! Adam kicks things off by questioning his own memory when it comes to recognizing show guests, leading into a conversation with Scott about how getting mugged at age 13 fueled his passion for martial arts. Scott shares insights on the difference between working on big-budget vs. indie films, what it was like to play a “fat guy” in John Wick 4, and how he stays in fighting shape. Adam and Scott also discuss courtroom sketch absurdities, the value of real stunt work in a CGI-heavy industry, and how AI could disrupt filmmaking. They shift gears to explore Ozempic’s bizarre side effects, and end with stories about filming with Keanu Reeves.In the news, Elisha Krauss joins Adam to discuss Simone Biles' public apology to Riley Gaines and her comments about transgender athletes in women’s sports, sparking a broader conversation about fairness in competition and the impact of public backlash in the digital age.
