Random Access Memory or TWIG RAM is our shoot from the hip media agnostic discussion podcast. Join Birdman, Ken, and David as we discuss media we’ve consumed either off the cuff or with a specific vague topic in mind…as well as a few off topic tangents that might pop into our heads along the way. This time, our trio of geeks discuss the split master himself Jean Claude Van Dame. We each give a handful of our favorites as well as discuss what makes the Belgian actor so good and how he’s become consistently better as he’s aged. It’s all about the man that fought Mickey Rouke in the Colloseum to battling his own double to being the Kickboxer Legend. Jack into our Random access memories here on TWIG!
