In this episode, host Joe Curdy welcomes Thai actress and producer Patty Srisuwan for a high-energy conversation on the groundbreaking 2005 martial arts film The Protector, starring Tony Jaa. A longtime friend of director Prachya Pinkaew, Patty brings insider knowledge and heartfelt insight into the film’s production, its cultural significance, and its global impact.
Together, they explore how THE PROTECTOR became a defining moment for Thai action cinema, the symbolism of elephants in Thai storytelling, and what makes Muay Thai choreography so electrifying on screen. The episode also takes a broader look at the Thai film industry—its challenges, evolution, and international recognition.
Whether you’re new to Thai films or a fan of high-octane action, this conversation with Patty Srisuwan is not to be missed.
