AW Confidential Podcast

Joe Taslim (Mortal Kombat, The Raid) joins AW Confidential for an intimate studio conversation about his role in The Furious, the emotional preparation behind the film, and the powerful lessons hidden beneath its explosive martial arts action.

In this conversation, Joe reflects on the heartbreaking documentary that helped him prepare for his role in The Furious, how fatherhood shaped his perspective, and why the mental battles we face can be far more difficult than the physical ones. We also explore vengeance, sacrifice, transformation, and one of the film's most memorable ideas: "We are all monsters. We just don't know when the monster will come out."

More than a conversation about action films, this is a reflection on humanity, perspective, and the choices we make when life pushes us to the edge.
