As Paul and Steve come to the conclusion of their first feature screenplay’s 3rd draft, they share their nearly four-year writing experience, how it evolved from short film to feature, their goals, and how they overcame the challenges of putting ego aside and story to paper.
Shout out and thanks to @kevindont for his mailbag question! We honestly dove into your question about getting into the biz, new empty sound stages, stunt workshops, networking, etc.
Shout outs to @joshuatoddjames, @bordengavin, our buddy Mark Grdovic and @austinfilmfest!

Robert Radler is dropping stories like a toilet seat!
S2 Ep20 is now live on YouTube, the @rageworkspodcastnetwork and everywhere you listen to podcasts.
LINKS IN BIO
Robert Radler is Director of the cult classic Best of the Best (1989) starring Eric Roberts, Phillip Rhee and James Earl Jones. Numerous guests have cited this film as a pivotal moment in their martial art and film careers, not the least of which our two co-hosts! This film, Radler’s debut feature, was also a launching pad for the likes of debut stunt coordinator Simon Rhee and performer James Lew. Rhee went on to receive SAG Award nominations for Heroes in 2008 and Transformers: Dark of the Moon in 2012. He won for Heroes in 2009 and Inception in 2011. Similarly, Lew took home the 2017 Emmy for Outstanding Stunt Coordination of a Drama Series for Luke Cage.
Outside of Best of the Best and its 1993 sequel, Radler went on to direct Showdown (1993), several episodes of Jerry Bruckheimer’s Soldier of Fortune, Inc., countless episodes of television including Hercules, Silk Stalkings, Police Academy: The Series, Mighty Morphin Power Rangers, Power Rangers Zeo and LA Heat. A guitar player himself, he has directed music videos for George Thorogood & The Destroyers; Jackson Brown; Crosby, Stills & Nash; Survivor as well as the award-winning Turn It Up (2014), a celebration of the electric guitar. Radler’s passion project since quitting NYU grad school for film (some might say an obsession since first setting foot on the ship in 1975) has been an ongoing documentary series about the SS United States beginning with SS United States: Lady in Waiting (2008), SS United States: Made in America (2013) and the forthcoming Superliner: The Enduring Legacy of the SS United States, to be released in 2026.
