Third Eye Cinema 4/7/13 with Grandmaster YK Kim

This week on Third Eye Cinema: the man behind Miami Connection, Grandmaster Y.K. Kim!  Yes, this is a man who has only been involved in one film to date…but what a film it is! A black belt in Taekwondo in his native Korea by the ripe old age of 13, Kim came to our shores in the very shadow of Ellis Island to pursue the American dream from the bottom up, without any real proficiency in the English language or promise of steady work.   After establishing himself in his new home base of central Florida, Kim was given the opportunity to write, cast, produce and star in a unique and extremely entertaining piece of grindhouse history, intended to promote the value of Taekwondo and incorporating rock music, bikers, drug dealers, and even Florida based ninja into its all too brief running time! Now better known for a chain of martial arts schools in the southern region of the East Coast, as well as making a name for himself as an infomercial maven and inspirational speaker, Kim joins us to discuss his story, his philosophy on life and martial arts, and the amazing Miami Connection! Join us for a positively charged, good humored interview with a true force of nature: Grandmaster Y.K.

Third Eye Cinema 3/24/13 with Davy Vain (pt. 2)

This week on Third Eye Cinema: part 2 of our career length interview with singer, songwriter, producer and glam metal legend Davy Vain! With his moody, introspective and quite honestly existential take on melodic, Hollywood style metal, Davy has marked a trail all his own, creating an expressive, emotional and often angst ridden sound unafraid to explore the vagaries of life, love, and sex on the seedier side of the street.   While mainstream audiences know him best for his flawless Island Records debut No Respect, Davy and his band Vain have been putting out a steady flow of consistently solid releases that stay close to the original template while still adapting to the changing times! This week we hone in on his latest album Enough Rope, a surprisingly hard driving slab of metal that sounds more like his classic No Respect and All Those Strangers albums than anything he's recorded since!  With the entire original lineup back in tow, Davy continues to mine the existential depths and tap into raw nerves, with the same hard rocking sound as the band was known for delivering nearly 25 years ago! Join us as we speak to the one and only Davy Vain, only here on Third Eye Cinema!

Third Eye Cinema 3/10/13 with Diego Valdez of Helker

This week on Third Eye Cinema: powerhouse vocalist Diego Valdez of South American traditional metal masters Helker! With a vocal style that will inspire double takes among old schoolers, Diego's rough edged yet melodic, powerful and dramatic tones sound like nothing less than Ronnie James Dio himself, come back to us from beyond the grave! With their powerful new record Somewhere in the Circle, Helker taps into the retro sound so firmly, not only will old hands start getting flashbacks, you'll think they were mainlining bands like Dio, Accept, and the Scorpions!  Take it from me, this one's a must hear... Join us as we talk to a truly amazing traditional metal vocalist from a hemisphere away, only here on Third Eye Cinema!   http://thirdeyecinema.wordpress.com/ http://www.facebook.com/ThirdEyeCinema

Third Eye Cinema 3/3/13 with Bill Rebane

Tonight on Third Eye Cinema: Wisconsin's own one-man filmmaking industry, Bill Rebane!   Staying just one step ahead of the Soviet takeovers of Latvia, Estonia, and East Germany back in the 40's, Bill emigrated to the US, learning English from the movies and quickly moving his way up from mailroom to executive producer in 50's live television, as well as introducing a 360 degree film process to such industry heavyweights as Warner Brothers, Disney, MGM and even Hugh Hefner!   Establishing his own studio in the heartland of America, Rebane was responsible for such 70's and 80's cult classics as The Giant Spider Invasion, Capture of Bigfoot, Demons of Ludlow and creepy slasher Blood Harvest with none other than Tiny Tim!
