"POPEYE THE SLAYER MAN" (2025) Director Robert Michael Ryan And Actor Jason Stephen Discuss Making Making An Icon Into A Slasher (INTERVIEW)

If you haven’t noticed, there’s a Popeye movie coming out this Friday, and it’s not the kind you want to bring your kids to. For the last few weeks, we have been excitedly sharing news and information about the forthcoming “Popeye The Slayer Man” film from VMI Worldwide, and released in theaters and on-demand VOD this Friday, March 21, 2025. We’ve spoken with actor Sarah Nicklin about her “killer” role, and we shared the music video for the film’s theme song, “From Sailor to Slayer.” Now, we are giving you a chance to hear from Director Robert Michael Ryan and Popeye himself, Jason Stephens as they share what to expect from the film releasing this week!

Check out the interview below for a sense of how “Popeye The Slayer Man” will pay homage to the gory practical effects of the 80s, and re-define the sailor for an entirely new generation of fans who may have never heard of him before!
