Episode 102 – Rage of the Screaming Centipede f/Kagan McLeod

This week Chris and Matt went to the slums of Shaolin to speak with Kagan McLeod, writer and artist of Top Shelf’s Infinite Kung Fu! Kagan talks about taking a decade to wrap up the book, how he kept his art consistent that whole time, who he based the characters on, and, of course, his favorite kung fu films! Plus, we take a call from a special guest who hosts a show on a certain radio station Chris loves.

  1. Matt: Totally get your nervousness about improv. Nothing worse than bad troupes or even weak troupe members. Check out a UCB show if you’re ever in New York or LA, and it should be way less uncomfortable. ESPECIALLY in LA, where the original cast members still do shows. MAD PROFESSIONAL.

    Chris, I’m with you re: being raised on Jackie Chan and finding the seminal ’70s stuff kind of paling in comparison. I actually tried to watch The 36th Chamber of Shaolin last year and it felt like such a baseline kung fu flick thanks to the dozens of derivative films that followed. I really wish I watched it as a teenager so I could appreciate it.

    But I love Master of the Flying Guillotine. that movie’s totally insane, what with the decapitations and the stretching yoga guy. A+

  2. Yeah, student shows can be really rough. Some of ’em haven’t yet learned valuable rules like “A funny voice is not a character,” but it is cool to watch potential burgeoning superstars, like seeing a crappy local band with an awesome bassist.

    Whenever my friends and I would go to one of the student shows here in SD (we had a friend, one such superstar, in the troupe), our audience suggestions were ridiculous and required things like getting one of the actors to pantomime “reality.” I’d like to think we helped improve the show, but this might be a gray area.

  3. I would love it if, for Ajax Classic, you re-posted the interview with Colleen Coover where you talk about BioWare games. I’m about 2/3 of the way through Mass Effect 2, and I would really like to listen to that episode again.
