BONUS: Strong Style Stunts (An Interview with Evil Ted Smith!)
Welcome to a very special bonus episode of the Scary Stuff Podcast! While we were researching Dragon Blue (starring The Great Muta) for Episode 13, we came across an old NJPW promotional video titled "The Great Muta: Origin of the Demon. It was a fascinating short film that we were thrilled to see was conceived by the director of Dragon Blue (Takuya Wada) and shared the same creature designer (the amazing Steve Wang). We were then even more thrilled to discover the man inside the monster suit battling Muta was Evil Ted Smith, a longtime makeup and fx worker in Hollywood who recently began doing fabulous foam cosplay instructional videos via Twitch and Youtube. We're so grateful Ted gave us a bit of his time, as we had a fabulous chat about his early days in the industry, tussling with Keiji Mutoh himself, building robots for Rob Zombie, miniature model work on The Fifth Element and MUCH more.
