Everybody relax, Jordan and Alex are here ... to talk about Alex's favorite movie of all time, John Carpenter's action-fantasy epic "Big Trouble in Little China." Listeners will trace the film's route from a Gold Rush-era cowboy fable to the film that convinced Carpenter to stop working with major studios after it flopped. But it's not all bad: Detours will be taken to the history of crime in San Francisco's Chinatown, the famous burlesque dancer from the city who cameos in the film, star Kurt Russell and Carpenter's heart-warming friendship and the controversy that greeted the film. Alex will recite approximately 40% of the film's lines and the phrase "hand-punched hairs" will be used referring to at least TWO separate costumes! Too Much Information: If we're not back in two hours after a digression on "The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the 8th Dimension..." call the president.
