Ep. 2: The Tool that Time Forgot — “Big Trouble” (2001)

We welcome our first guest to the pod as Noah’s college roommate Matt Poldberg (Twitter: @NotSpamIPromise) brings us the nearly memory-holed, 2001-I-mean-2002 box office dud “Big Trouble.” No, not “Big Trouble in Little China,” this is a sweaty, 85-minute ensemble slapstick comedy caper flick in the Miami swamp that’s as light and low-calorie as a plate of arugula.

You’ll notice a few spots where Matt’s words slur—that’s a technical/streaming issue on our end, not due to any voice/health/drunkenness issues on his part. These things happen.

Late in the episode, I reference the Ted Lasso pilot script. You can read that here. 

If you’d like to watch the movie, it’s available for a few bucks on most streaming platforms, the cheapest as of publication is on iTunes ($2.99). As always, join us on Twitter and Instagram @LikeThisMovie and use the hashtag #ITILTM to join in the conversation.
