Ever wondered what happens when you mix John Wayne swagger with martial arts mayhem? Join us as we bring a nostalgic and slightly tipsy twist to John Carpenter’s cult classic "Big Trouble in Little China." Hosts Ryan Baron North and James Crosslin, along with our guest Reece Merritt, kick things off with a hilarious nod to the game show "Win Ben Stein's Money" before diving headfirst into the quirky world of an ’80s VHS experience. With an ice-clinking toast to our new listeners from Florida and the UK, we share our first impressions—some of us are seeing this wild ride for the very first time, while others are reliving their adolescent movie nights.
Get ready for a passionate defense of why "Big Trouble in Little China" deserves a spot in the pantheon of great action films, possibly even outranking "Terminator 2." Reece isn't just a guest; he's a die-hard fan who argues it's one of the top three movies ever. We take you through John Carpenter's brilliant fusion of a John Wayne-style narrative with martial arts, showing how he seamlessly transitioned from horror to create this offbeat gem. We also pay tribute to Carpenter’s wider filmography, celebrating his knack for unforgettable storytelling that has shaped our cinematic tastes. Don’t miss out on the laughs, the insights, and the hypothetical scenarios that will leave you questioning how you ever lived without this cult classic in your life.
