Death Pool Celebrities GameScott and Burke hosted a macabre-themed show where they discussed death and dying, introducing a "Death Pool" game where they picked celebrities to bet on who would pass away first. They selected several high-profile individuals including Alan Alda, Bruce Willis, Dick Van Dyke, David Attenborough, Eva Marie Saint, Mel Brooks, King Charles III, and Michael J. Fox, with each person being at least 76 years old. The game involves filling 100 slots, with the number dropping to 50 in 2026, and players can make trades throughout the season when someone dies.Celebrity Health and Age AnalysisScott and Burke discussed a list of celebrities, focusing on those who are older or facing health issues. They shared information about actors, musicians, and other public figures, including their ages, notable works, and current health conditions. Burke and Scott adjusted the screen-sharing setup to better view the list and discussed potential scoring systems based on age. They continued selecting celebrities from their lists, with Scott explaining his reasoning for choosing certain individuals, such as Anthony Hopkins and Al Pacino, due to their age or significant contributions to film.Death List Celebrities DiscussionScott and Burke discussed their picks for a death list, focusing on actors and their ages. They shared information about several celebrities, including Marion Ross (96 years old) and James Hong (96 years old), noting their longevity in the entertainment industry. Burke mentioned that he was selecting people based on age rather than conditions, while Scott was choosing famous actors. They also briefly discussed a recent death from the movie "Big Trouble in Little China."Celebrity Ages and Career HighlightsScott and Burke discussed several celebrities and their ages, including Sophia Loren, Clint Eastwood, Julie Andrews, Robert Wagner, Jane Fonda, Barbara Eden, Michael Caine, Willie Nelson, Morgan Freeman, Judy Dench, Faye Dunaway, Tippi Hedren, Julie Christie, and Ringo Starr. They shared information about the celebrities' careers, notable films, and ages, with some discussion about how Reddit links they had used for research were no longer accessible.Death Pool List PlanningBurke and Scott discussed their picks for a death pool list, focusing on celebrities and historical figures who are older or have health issues. They agreed to keep the list at 50 people for now, with the option to expand next year. Burke mentioned using ChatGPT to generate potential picks. They also talked about the rules for updating the list, including the ability to swap out picks if someone gets sick or dies. The conversation ended with a discussion about lawn mowers and a brief mention of an upcoming air show in Cleveland.Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/davisanddavis/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
Kurt Russell auditioned for Han Solo but lost out to Harrison Ford. Well, if you ever wanted to get a glimpse of Kurt Russell's Han Solo, watch Big Trouble In Little China. We talk all about John Carpenter's cult-classic Western/Martial Arts fantasy, comedy, hell it has its own genre. Also, Kim Cattrall. Come on. Thanks for listening to our highly acclaimed movie podcast and please share a link with a friend, family member, or co-worker who loves these movies as much as you and us! And always, be kind, rewind, relax, and enjoy the show.
In the forty-eighth episode of Season 11: The Son of Cult Flicks, Kyle is joined by actors Ben McGinley and Nick Earl to discuss the high-fantasy blend of genre, from the American western to the Shaw Brothers kung-fu epics, in John Carpenter's unapologetically wild immersion into action hero tropes, the power of community, and a commentary on the fear of the unknown in the cult sensation Big Trouble in Little China (1986).
The epitome of 21st century takes on 20th century _ from space movies, this James Gunn classic references Henelotter, Tremors, The Thing, Big Trouble in Little China, The Toxic Avenger, Goosebumps, Alien, Predator, Society, Shivers, and possibly even Monty Python and the Holy Grail. The make-up and practical effects pair perfectly with 2006's digital effects and the over-the-ham acting of Nathan Fillion, Elizabeth Banks, Michael Rooker, and Gregg Henry. This one will fill you up to bursting but still leave you hungry for more!
The year is 1986 and it's an action kids dream! Highlander, Big Trouble in Little China, Delta Force, Cobra, Iron Eagle, Aliens. The list can go on and on. All of these have been covered on the show. But alas, there's always one to slip through the cracks, and no it's not Howard the Duck. Month of Action has come to an end for 2025 and yet there was one figure missing from this entire month. Arnold. And only Arnold could slip through the cracks of his own fame. 1985 he had Commando and 1987 he had Predator. Two of the greatest action movies ever made. But what happened in 1986? Well, they gave Arnold a Raw Deal and now they're about to pay…with their lives! Raw Deal gets its redemption starting now!
It's all in the reflexes... and we're celebrating the anniversary of John Carpenter's modern Western and kung fu cult classic "Big Trouble in Little China," and this time, we've brought backup! Joining us all the way from Japan is special guest host (and 1/3 of 'Movies In Trouble') Ben Gonzalez, along with special guest Erns, a Southern Californian lens wizard, to help us shake the pillars of heaven.

Send us a textThis week on Entertain This!, Hayden, Mitch, and Tom boldly venture into the cinematic fever dream that is John Carpenter's Big Trouble in Little China. We're talking about a movie where the hero is arguably the sidekick, ancient Chinese magic involves lightning bolts and floating heads, and the true protagonist might just be Kurt Russell's unparalleled confidence in the face of utter bewilderment. Join us as we try to unpack how this glorious, nonsensical masterpiece manages to be simultaneously one of the greatest action-comedies ever made and a solid argument for why truck drivers should probably stick to driving trucks. We'll dissect Lo Pan's surprisingly convoluted evil plan and ponder whether Jack Burton ever actually understood what was going on. So, buckle up, grab your own questionable beverages, and prepare for a deep dive into the reflex-fueled chaos. At the end of it all, we'll ask you: Did Big Trouble in Little China...

The latest podcast episode offers an engaging blend of cultural commentary, nostalgia, and debates that tackle both movies and music. The hosts kick off the conversation with reflections on the cult classic Big Trouble in Little China. While one host felt a nostalgic connection, the other struggled to connect, admitting the film's fast-paced action might resonate more with those who experienced it during its prime. This leads to humorous discussions about cultural representation and characters' dynamics. The spotlight then shifts to Billboard's controversial “Top 25 Female Rappers of All Time.” While heavy hitters like Nicki Minaj, Missy Elliott, and Lauryn Hill dominate the list, the hosts voice strong opinions about rankings, questioning placements like Lauryn Hill's top-three spot due to her limited rap catalog. They also highlight underappreciated talents like Shauna and critique the absence of certain deserving artists. A recurring theme explores how music resonates personally. The hosts candidly discuss how emotional connection shapes taste, particularly in how men engage with female rap. They emphasize the need for authenticity in music appreciation rather than societal performance.

200th Episode!!!! I'm still toweling off after the explosive love fest the cast had while covering Big Trouble in Little China. So so sticky. Anyways, it should come to no surprise that this is a favorite. It's weird, it's got monsters, kung-fu, guns, magic, sword fighting, I mean, what's not to like. This movie is THE BEST comfort food you could cinematically ingest. It's filling and you never get tired of the taste. Everyone seemed genuinely jealous that Pete got to see this in the theater until everyone realized how old he is and then they just felt sad. RIP Pete. It's coming quicker than you think.
MONDAY HR 4 Nerdy News - Ryan Checks out Big Trouble in Little China. Angel checks out Netflix program Running Point. Last word on Gene Hackman passing. News From The Headlines Daylight Savings
Welcome to another episode of the Video Store Podcast. Inspired by a wild kung-fu brawl that recently took place in the street in front of the video store, I decided to recommend four kung-fu style films. None of these will win many points for their creative plots, but all of them are fun to watch with popcorn and friends. An alcoholic beverage or two might not hurt, either.Big Trouble in Little China (1986)Big Trouble in Little China is probably the most mainstream movie on this week's episode. As a teenager this was one of my favorite films (and I still enjoy it today), but as time goes on I find lots of people familiar with the film that haven't actually seen it from beginning to end. John Carpenter's dive into the surreal, magical world of Chinatown introduces us to Jack Burton (Kurt Russell) and his pal Wang as they delve into the dark, underbelly of “little China” This film is often referred to as a “cult classic” today but to me, it's just good, clean fun.Mortal Kombat (1995)In the early 90s, Mortal Kombat set arcades on fire. Riding on the popularity of the game's arcade sequel and home versions was this film which is based on the game and pretty blatantly rips off the plot of Bruce Lee's Enter the Dragon. Like that film, fighters from different locations travel to a mysterious island to partake in a tournament… to the death! You may not have had “videogame-based movie starring the guy from Highlander, the schoolteacher from Billy Madison, and the voice of Dr. Claw from Inspector Gadget… but here we are.Some people say this movie is cheesy, some say it's fun, and I say it's both. In fact, I'd say it's a flawless victory. Riki-Oh: The Story of Ricky (1991)In the future (2001, in the film), prisons has been privatized and are largely corrupt. Our hero, Riki, has been sent to one of these prisons and the Prison Ward has dispatched the leaders of the Gang of Four to make sure Riki doesn't get any ideas and start a rebellion. Unfortunately for them, Riki — who also happens to possess superhuman strength — has other plans.Riki-Oh is based on a Japanese manga series known for its over the top violence and this film is no different, containing lots of gore, all presenting in comic-book style. Riki punches a hole right through one guy and punches the head off of someone else. It's not for everybody, but if you like your kung-fu campy an dover the top, check this one out immediately. Police Story (1985)Police Story was I believe Jackie Chan's breakout film. The popularity of this film and the sequel led to Chan getting multiple offers from Hollywood, and the third film in the series (Police Story III) was released in America as Supercop. The plot of this one is relatively thin. Jackie Chan is a police officer who, after busting a drug lord, must protect the criminal's secretary before she can testify against him in court. The real star of the show are the fight scenes and Chan's stunts. It's impossible to watch this film without wondering if people got hurt doing these stunts. Spoiler, they did.I love all kinds of films, from silent and black and white films to the latest sci-fi blockbusters. One of my guilty pleasures will always be these types of kung-fu films, films you can enjoy without thinking too hard about them. This is a public episode.

Celebrate the Lunar New Year 2025 with your SOMC hosts James and Josh Murray as they talk about one of their favorite movies Big Trouble in Little China.
B is for Big Trouble In Little China! This movie is THREE YEARS in the making over here and we, by we, we mean everyone who voted for it, are finally stoked to talk about it! Old Man Brad joined on this journey into the mystic arts and all he wants is his truck back!
1973's Slither was the directorial debut of Howard Zieff (Private Benjamin, My Girl) and the screenwriting debut for W.D. Richter (Invasion of the Body Snatchers, Big Trouble In Little China). In the freewheeling comedic thriller, James Caan goes on the road looking for a stash of embezzled money with Peter Boyle, Louise Lasser and Sally Kellerman in tow. Famously, Caan was quoted saying he took the role for the money and had little understanding of the story. Dan and Vicky discuss the film along with lots of recently seen including Nosferatu, The Front Room, Shudder's doc series Horror's Greatest, Better Man, Leigh Wannell's Wolfman, Trim Season and The Brutalist. *Sound issues exist in this episode. We hope they won't detract from your enjoyment of the show. Our socials: hotdatepod.com FB: Hot Date Podcast Twitter: @HotDate726 Insta: hotdatepod

Hosts Josh and Jamie celebrate the holidays by discussing the 1984 California Christmas genre-bending cult cinema of Thom Eberhardt with a double feature of his pop-rock B-movie mix of post-apocalyptic science-fiction, zombie survival action-horror, and 80s consumerism satire/new wave teen girl hangout movie in NIGHT OF THE COMET and his moody high-concept slow-burn sci-fi horror film SOLE SURVIVOR that may or may not have inspired FINAL DESTINATION.

Today, my guest is a prolific cinematographer, accomplished photographer, and member of the American Society of Cinematographers, Dean Cundey A.S.C.Dean rose to fame for extraordinary cinematography in the 1980s and 1990s. His early start was working on the set of Halloween. Dean is credited as director of photography on five Back To The Future films and Jurassic Park.The Halloween slasher franchise consisted of eleven films and was initially released in 1978. The films primarily focus on Michael Myers, who was committed to a sanitarium as a child for the murder of his sister, Judith Myers. Fifteen years later, he escapes to stalk and kill the people of the fictional town of Haddonfield, Illinois. Michael's killings occur on the holiday of Halloween, on which all of the films primarily take place.The second film, one of which Cundey served as director of photography, was based on Marty McFly, who had only just gotten back from the past when he is once again picked up by Dr. Emmett Brown and sent through time to the future. Marty's job in the future is to pose as his son to prevent him from being thrown in prison. Unfortunately, things get worse when the future changes the present.The three Back To The Future films Dean worked on grossed $388.8, $336, and $243 million globally, becoming all-time hits on budgets of $19, $40, and $40 million.Cundey is cited as being amongst some of the best directors of photography. In addition to his lighting skills, particularly in the famous hallway scene where the hidden face of Michael Myers, played by writer/director Nick Castle, is slowly revealed by way of a blue light next to the mask, he was among the first cinematographers to make use of a recent invention called the Steadicam, or paraglide.Some other shows and movies he's worked on include, Who Framed Roger Rabbit, Tales of the Unexpected, Romancing the Stone, Invitation To Hell, Big Trouble in Little China, etc.Who Framed Roger Rabbit; A toon-hating detective is a cartoon rabbit's only hoping to prove his innocence when he is accused of murder. Basically, 'Toon star Roger is worried that his wife Jessica is playing pattycake with someone else, so the studio hires detective Eddie Valiant to snoop on her. But the stakes are quickly raised when Marvin Acme is found dead, and Roger is the prime suspect. Groundbreaking interaction between the live and animated characters, and lots of references to classic animation.Dean grew up an avid reader of the American Cinematographer magazines he would buy after school from a local camera shop close by. That was how his inspiration to pursue filmmaking came about. He shifted his focus to theater history while still taking some architectural design classes at California State University before he ultimately enrolled at the University of California Los Angeles film school.In 1993 Jurassic Park, Dean made a minor appearance as a boat crew member (Mate) while also staffed as director of photography. The film follows a pragmatic paleontologist visiting an almost complete theme park tasked with protecting a couple of kids after a power failure causes the park's cloned dinosaurs to run loose. Huge advancements in scientific technology have enabled a mogul to create an island full of living dinosaurs.A park employee attempts to steal dinosaur embryos, critical security systems are shut down, and it now becomes a race for survival with dinosaurs roaming freely over the island.Cundey holds over one hundred and fifty cinematography & photography credits for movies, television, and short films. That is no small feat in this business. The man has stayed busy and booked since graduation from film school. That kind of consistency in Hollywood is only doable by having extreme persistence and excellence. One of the many things he did to stay prepared and on top of his craft was investing into building himself a ‘super van' or one couple call it a cinematographer's heaven that contained every equipment (cameras, editing's tools, etc.) required to help him get work get and do work easily.We talk more about Dean joining The Book of Boba Fett and The Mandalorian crew as well. Check it all out in our chat.Enjoy my conversation with Dean Cundey.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/bulletproof-screenwriting-podcast--2881148/support.
