Steve and Scott will be back soon with a regular episode and an announcement about changes happening at CBO HQ.  In the meantime Scott catches up with Ted Sikora, film-maker, comic writer and friend of the show.

He currently has a Kickstarter for a hardback version of 'Apama' which we've discussed on the show before.  It's currently 184% funded, so we talk both about his work and how you can run a successful campaign.

As of 27th October 2014 there are four days left to get in on the project, so if you're interested go to kickstarter.com and type in 'Apama'.

This is Bags of Action. The podcast is devoted to action movies, both old and new, but all of them awesome! In this episode Steve and Pete talk about the 1989 martial arts film, Best of the Best, starring Eric Roberts.
