Interview: Jason sits down with Brad Henderson and director Kurtis Spieler to chat about one of the most unique film projects in film history. In 1984 Director and martial artist John Liu set out to make his ultimate ninja movie. The project was abandoned during production resulting in all original sound materials, scripts, and treatments going missing. Kurtis Spieler painstakingly reconstructed and completed the film for Vinegar Syndrome. Spieler cast genre movie superstars Don "The Dragon" Wilson, Michael Berryman, and Cynthia Rothrock as the leads and enlisted Voyag3r to create an era-perfect original score.  Brad and Kurtis take you behind the scenes of Vinegar Syndrome, genre movie preservation, the New York Ninja construction process, and so much more!
