EP. 4 Jonathan "Jojo" Eusebio

One of the youngest 87eleven Team members, Justin talks about his martial arts beginnings, getting his start in the movie business, and recently coordinating one of the biggest action movies ever, Fast & Furious 9!  

This week we talk with HOBBS & SHAW fight choreographer and stunt coordinator, Greg Rementer.  He first with with David Leitch and 87eleven on ATOMIC BLONDE and quickly became a highly valued and respected friend of the 87eleven family.  From live shows to the biggest Hollywood blockbuster of 2019, Greg tells us what it takes to get to the top.    

In anticipation of the release of one of the summer's biggest blockbusters, Hobbs & Shaw, we previously released a special edition episode with 87eleven Co-Founder, David M. Leitch.  This week's episode goes way back to David's early life in Kohler, Wisconsin as he describes the twists and turns of his path on his way to becoming one of Hollywood's most sought after action directors!    

With the monster summer blockbuster HOBBS & SHAW scheduled for release in just a few days, we felt it was only appropriate to dedicate a full episode to such a massive project.  87eleven Co-Founder and Director David M. Leitch dives deep into what it's like to be at the helm of a such a huge project with so many huge personalities.  David also shares with us his all time favorite scene as a director and it's probably not what you are expecting... 

After a couple of weeks hiatus because the Secretary was allowed to have some fun with the team, we sat down with Anisha Gibbs.  Brand spanking new to the stunt world, it didn't take her long to become a highly sought after stunt double/performer, most recently doubling Halle Berry in John Wick 3: Parabellum.  Her story is beautiful and inspiring, much like Anisha herself, despite her crashing, kicking, and punching her way into the business!    

Larnell Stovall's biggest accolade to date is discovering the amazing performance abilities of The Secretary!  Just kidding, Larnell has kicked, punched, and hustled his way to the top of the fight choreography business with quite a few hugely successful projects under his belt.  He is set to direct his first ever 1st Unit Episode the day this podcast is released!!  From humble beginnings in New Orleans and a love of martial arts, Larnell is finally on top!  

Jeremy Marinas is not only the most "Grammable" member of the team but also one of the most diversely talented.  Martial Arts has been his passion since he was old enough to remember. He found a way, through hard work and dedication, to turn that passion into an extremely successful career in the movie business.  We also have a bonus conversation with one of his current "students", actress and soon to be action star of the upcoming COWBOY BEBOP movie, Daniella Pineda! 

According to one of the 87eleven Founders, Ralf is a weird size and kind of weird looking, but that didn't stop him from establishing a highly successful career in the Film Industry.  Not only is he an established performer but also a very knowledgable stunt rigger and coordinator.  You've definitely seen his work in front of the camera in the Hunger Games series and many of the latest Marvel movies.  Ralf sits down with us and shares some great stories and advice. 

Jon Valera is another 87eleven Original, forged in the fires of open martial arts competition who luckily for us (and for action fans around the world), found his way into the movie business.  You've probably seen his face in many of your favorite action movies, but if not, you've undoubtably seen his work as a fight choreographer.  "JV" talks about his early years, the business, and all things John Wick in this week's episode.   

One of the 87eleven Originals, Jonathan "Jojo" Eusebio went from MMA/Crime lab investigator to one of the top of the fight choreographers in the business.  In this week's Episode, Jojo tells us about his early beginnings and where he's going from here, along with some very in depth talk on John Wick and John Wick 3 training.
