Grab your 7 Demon Bag, rally the Chang Sing, and hop on the Pork Chop Express—because we’re heading straight into the neon-lit chaos of Chinatown!
This week, Art and Erik throw on their tank tops and dive fists-first into John Carpenter’s 1986 cult classic Big Trouble in Little China. It’s got everything: sorcery, sewer monsters, kung fu battles, dudes who ride lightning bolts, and one very confused truck driver named Jack Burton!
They dig into Jack’s lovable energy, Wang’s bad ass fighting skills, the green-eyed girl prophecy, and the bonkers Burning Blade ceremony that somehow makes perfect sense in a movie like this.
Plus, they talk supernatural shenanigans, epic martial arts showdowns, and Carpenter’s delicious genre-blending madness.
Join us and learn how the film tries to tackle stereotypes and manages to celebrate Chinese mythology while being a total blast.
Basically, it’s action, comedy, monsters, magic, and one-liners galore. If you’ve ever screamed "It's all in the reflexes," this episode is for you.
