053 - Danger God

About this episode

This episode features a round table discussion with documentary filmmaker Joe O'Connell and Gary Kent, discussing the film 'Danger God' and various aspects of stunt work and film history.

This is a very special edition of the podcast! I attended a round table conversation featuring documentary filmmaker, Joe O'Connell, and the subject of his film "Danger God," Gary Kent, who was the inspiration for Brat Pitt's character in Quentin Tarantino's "Once Upon A Time In Hollywood." They discuss the documentary, stunt work through the years, Gary's real-life run-in with Charles Manson, and so much more on episode 53 of the Avert Your Eyes Podcast. Consider yourself warned.
