Filmmakers On: Van Dammed! A six-part limited series podcast on the career of Jean-Claude Van Damme. Over the course of the series we will take an in depth look at Van Damme’s career (so far) from his early cameos in “Missing in Action” and “Breakin” to his transcendent run as Jean-Claude Van Johnson on Amazon. Along the way we will attempt to pin down just what it is about Van Damme that makes for such a compelling action figure.  
Episode 5 – The Dark Years 
Host J. Horton and guest Aaron Mento discuss Jean-Claude 1998 to 2008, “Knock Off”, “Legionnaire”, “Universal Soldier: The Return”, “Inferno”, “Replicant”, “Derailed”, “In Hell”, “Wake of Death”, “Second in Command”, “The Hard Corps”, “Until Death” and “The Shepard”. JCVD found himself mired in direct to video cycle, “Universal Solider: The Return” was the only movie to find a limited U.S. theatrical run, even though he started to fall off the mainstream movie going audiences’ radar, he still continued to take creative risks and not mail in any performances.
