Big Trouble in Little China (1986): Failing Upwards - a podcast by The Back Row Network

The boys are back, and they watched the action-adventure-comedy-Kung Fu-ghost- monster movie that could only be made in the 1980’s: Big Trouble in Little China! 

 

We’ve got ancient Chinese soccer feuds, Kung Fu machine guns, several San Francisco streets being taken over by Mortal Kombat characters, horrific in-your-face exposition by Kim Cattrall, lethal wind turbine back scratcher weapons, weird man eating catfish monsters, and a confused and clumsy Kurt Russell doing an intentionally bad John Wayne impression whist bringing a knife to a gun fight on multiple occasions. 

 

This movie is an analogy for a mushroom trip where you are peaking by the start of the 3rd act, so have some extra fluids ready because it’s about to get weird.
