Big Trouble in Little China (1986)

Sit tight, hold the fort, and keep the home fires burnin'!

Show Notes

It's all in the reflexes with this episode. We lean hard into this cult classic and our third Russell/Carpenter collab. We talk about how this movie pretty expertly shows that your protagonist isn't always the lead, how it handles race in a decade that was rather insensitive to it all, POGS, underground poker rings, and so much more!
