Interview with actor Mathew Karedas (The Samurai Cop)

[SecondClassCinema]

Greetings!

As most of you know, Samurai Cop is a much beloved and revered flick here at Second Class Cinema. We covered it in one of our earliest episodes over a year ago, and just recently we viewed and discussed the much-anticipated sequel, Samurai Cop II: Deadly Vengeance.

Deadly Vengeance was total shlock-madness that left us with a ton of questions. So I guess we were pretty lucky that Samurai Cop himself, Mathew Karedas, offered to chat with us and answer our many questions about this crazy piece of cinema.

Matt took us on a complete tour of making this movie- discussing everything from how he came to be Samurai Cop in Amir Shirvan's original picture, to rising from the dead, to what it was like working with Tommy Wiseau. His hilarious anecdotes on the funding/filming/release (and beyond) has given us so much insight into the blood, sweat and pure insanity that made this movie possible.

It was truly a pleasure doing this interview and we can't thank Matt enough for chatting with us at length about his awesome role in B-movie history.

Here is a link to the episode here:

Great interview guys! I can tell you all had a lot of great fun, and Matt seems like a really fun guy to hang out with. 

Saaay.. wait.. aren't you guys the same people from Three Knock Theater?  Or is just some of you? 

Sidenote: It's funny, I just saw the interview he did with Red Letter Media and holy crap, that guy is 50?!?!?  He looks like he's aged about five years from 1990!

Three Knock Theater is a different crew, but we (Three Knock Theater) are definitely fans of Second Class Cinema.

Ahhh.. well one of the people sounded a little similar, that's why I asked.  Course, it's entirely possible I've heard SCC before a while back and just got them mixed up.

Both are awesome!  :)
