Scott talks to filmmaker and former Trash Video proprietor Andrew Leavold about his documentary and book project "The Search for Weng Weng", a true story about the life of an 83 cm Filipino action star from the 1980s. Andrew tells the tale of how he first became aware of the cult movie icon, the long production of the documentary, interviewing Imelda Marcos at her 83rd birthday party and the difficulties he faced tracking down people to tell all sides of the Weng Weng story.
This interview contains some sparse coarse language.
