Explosions, Intrigue and Intensity: Inside President Down


Listen Later

Join Kent Hill and special guests as they peel back the curtain on President Down, a lean, high-energy Asylum original that punches far above its budget. With director Nick Lyon’s theater-like block shooting and a cast led by G. Anthony Joseph and Lorenzo Lamas, the film stitches together intense ensemble set pieces, surprising twists, and a chilling premise about technology, control, and vulnerability at the highest level.

Through candid on-set stories, casting revelations, and reflections on crafting tension with limited resources—plus a look at how practical effects, set rentals, and clever VFX bring Air Force One-like scale to life—this episode reads like a behind-the-scenes mini-thriller. Tune in to hear why President Down feels like a lost 90s mid-range action gem, and discover the moments that make it a memorable, character-driven ride.
