This week on Fabulous Film & Friends we're going to analyze a trio of “cult classics” from the actor/director pairing of Kurt Russell and John Carpenter. Starting with 1981's Escape From New York starring Mr. Russell, Donald Pleasance, Lee Van Cleef, Ernest Borgnine, Harry Dean Stanton, Adrienne Barbeau, Isaac Hayes and Season Hubley, on to 1982's The Thing starring Russell, Donald Moffat, Keith David, Richard Dysart, David Clennon, T.K, Carter, Richard Masur, Charles Hallahan and Wilford Brimley, And finally 1986's Big Trouble in Little China starring Russell, Dennis Dun, Kim Cattrall, James Hong, Donald Li, Kate Burton, Suzee Pai and Victor Wong, My two guests are the only pair who would be up for such a comprehensive cinematic showdown : Lit major and lil' Sis Roseanne Caputi and Actor Funnyman Photobug, Alex Robertson. Before we run the gauntlet, the synopses:  In Escape From New Yorkex soldier and current convict Snake Plisskin is forced under the threat of death by government agent Hauk to rescue the President of the United States after a group of insurgents cause Air Force One to crash in New York city which by 1997 has become a walled off maximum security prison.  The Thing  catalogues the paranoia, fear and sheer horror  that ensues when a shape-shifting alien invades an American Antarctic Research Facility.   Big Trouble in Little China follows the mystic, martial-arts laden misadventures of blowhard truck driver Jack Burton, who, on a routine stop in San Francisco's Chinatown wins a bet over   his buddy Wang Chi. In order to collect his money, Jack follows Wang to the airport to meet Wang's beautiful green-eyed betrothed bride Miao Yin who is summarily kidnapped by the evil ancient supernatural gang Lord David Lo Pan. Lo Pan, for his part, inhabits a broken down and decrepit old body and can only move as a spirit in his young and powerful form. In order to attain full strength and fleshly form, Lo Pan  needs Wang's  green-eyed bride to break his century old curse. With the help of lawyer Gracie Law and a troupe of warriors led by magical Egg Shen, Jack and Wang charge into David Lo Pan's compound to stage a daring rescue. Which film rates the highest?Find out!

In this episode we celebrate and explore the films of legendary film-maker, John Carpenter! Carpenter is such a unique director, a man who has always done things his own way, with a real talent for story-telling. The Planet 8 crew will start by discussing Carpenter's early life and how he became a film-maker.We move on to a discussion of the qualities that define John Carpenter's style. Obviously we'll talk about his work with his film soundtracks, but there are so many other aspects to a "John Carpenter film" - the 'slow burn' or building of suspense, his use of unusual camera angles or long takes, his distrust of authority figures, and so much more.As we go through Carpenter's style, we'll talk about his films, lingering on some of our favorites, including The Thing (we dedicated a whole episode to it -you can hear it here),  Halloween, The Fog, Escape from New York, They Live, and Big Trouble in Little China. But we also talk about some of his films that aren't on our favorites list too, just to balance things out.Without a doubt, Carpenter has an impressive and varied portfolio that includes some real classics. If all he had ever done was make The Thing, he would be a master, but he's made so many films that exhibit incredible skill and style. He's truly an amazing film-maker.For the Sensor Sweep this week, we sadly note the passing of Nichelle Nichols, famed for her portrayal of Lieutenant Uhura on the original Star Trek. Nichols was 89. Beyond the impact she had in her role as one of the very first African American women on TV who wasn't in a subservient role, Nichols went on to work with NASA to recruit women and people of color into the astronaut corps. A constant presence on the convention circuit, she was known for her warmth and beautiful smile. She will be greatly missed.That's it for this go round. Please share your thoughts with us on anything we talked about -or forgot to talk about!Twitter: https://twitter.com/Planet8CastFacebook: www.Facebook.com/Planet8PodcastInstagram: Planet8PodcastYouTube: https://youtube.com/Planet8podcastAre you crazy, is that your problem?

Slip on your moccasins, put on your best tank top, and hop in an 18-Wheeler as we take a trip to the nightmarish streets of San Francisco's Chinatown in this John Carpenter/Kurt Russell cult classic... Big Trouble in Little China (1986). This action-comedy has stood the test of time, and gave us some hilariously eccentric characters. From Jack Burton, to Lo Pan, to Egg, to Wang, to... well, you get the idea. Listen closely, and you juuuuusssttt might hear Preston make a Mortal Kombat reference, and Emily agrees with it! That's what marriage is all about folks. Also, if you're excited about the rumors surrounding Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson's remake of this beloved film, then buster, you ain't alone! Enjoy!!!

The Big Apple was pretty rotten in this classic 1981 John Carpenter/Kurt Russell landmark.   It's set in the future (which by now is actually the distant past of 1997, but let's not ruin everything already!) and our anti-hero Snake Plissken is tasked with rescuing the President from an urban warzone with the clock ticking and the fate of the world in the balance!  There's a very important cassette tape (again, futuristic!) and a cast of strange characters and character actors he encounters along the way.  Kurt at his coolest, and even with just one good eye he still manages to patch things up!  After 40 years, this movie is still a favorite of mine.  Dave Chan likes it, too!  He's to blame for me picking this particular flick, so he's been recruited to blab about it with me on this exciting and hilarious episode.  You wanna meet the Duke?  Listen now!

Oh yeah!... This episode Emily tries to guess the plot to one of Preston's all-time favorite films... The Thing. Listen as Preston squirms as Emily nearly ruins this John Carpenter/Kurt Russell classic. And while we're at it... is there such a thing as a "Science Yurt?" We'd love to hear your thoughts on that one. Enjoy!!!

Join Mike and Kevin for the first half of a special 2-part bonus episode on the 1981 John Carpenter / Kurt Russell callabo ESCAPE FROM NEW YORK. This is peak John Carpenter; we're talking synth music, ninja stars, cannibalism, eye patches, etc! This episode covers the first half of the movie; President's plane crashes in prison island of Manhattan, new inmate Snake Plissken is forced to find POTUS, Snake infiltrates the prison, Snake meets Cabbie, Snake escapes from The Crazies.

The third and final review of the John Carpenter/Kurt Russell trilogy, this week we discuss Escape from New York. Mark's virgin viewing coupled with Matt's nostalgia result in contrary opinions. Does Escape from New York really not work? Does its unique premise and the quintessential movie anti-hero Snake Plissken override some of its more 2D performances? It's hard to say. But one could argue if it really matters in the end. One thing we do learn watching Escape, is that the rumors of Snake Plissken's premature demise may have been greatly exaggerated.Download: 130 Escape from New York

It's WORLD WAR WIVES on the podcast this week as we invite on a recently married movie geek couple, Dave from the Super Movie Bros & his wife Lauren, to discuss the John Carpenter/Kurt Russell double feature of Big Trouble in Little China (1986) and Escape from L.A. (1996)! Unfortunately, things go downhill very very quickly when the ladies bring the hatred heat on one film in particular. From there, it's touch and go as the men are forced to play extreme defense and all try to come to a common place on what the crap is going on with either of these flicks. Questions are posed - like is Big Trouble worth your trouble? Is Kurt Russell a sexy slab of man beer and/or an overactor? Did you know Snake Plisskin was an actual character's name in one of these movies? What happened in Cleveland with that dude anyways? Which is cooler - surfing onto moving cars or hanggliding with a machine gun? Plus IMDB "trivia,"  we play 'The Newlywed Game' and debate over which 'Friends' characters we each are!?
