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!

This week we talk about Escape from L.A., or as it's stylized, John Carpenter's Escape from L.A., which is basically a sequel to the far superior Escape from New York, even though it's basically just a remake.

The Matt and Tubes pull out the tape and limp away from John Carpenter's 1981 semi-dystopian action adventure "Escape From New York!   Kurt Russell stars as Snake Plisskin, a mercenary coerced into leading a solo rescue mission in a future Manhattan that has been converted into an island wide prison. With a unique cast, an unusual pace, and a shoe string budget, can John Carpenter provide another Crucial classic?   The film features performances by Kurt Russell, Lee Van Cleef, Ernest Borgnine, Donald Pleasence, Isaac Hayes, Harry Dean Stanton, and Adrienne Barbeau.

People with quirks are called eccentric, unusual, strange, or even bizarre, but the truth is bigger. Quirky people play weird games, wear different clothes, have unusual hobbies, or say what they mean in company. Quirky people have less fear. Jeannie submits the theory that all good protagonists need to be a little quirky. The committee pokes at her theory with examples from books, television, and movies. … Continue...Episode 78 – What’s in a Quirk?

In this episode I speak to Iain Ward. Iain was such a great guest as he's always enthusiastic and passionate about what he’s talking about. Earlier this year Iain was diagnosed with Brain Cancer and has since had surgery and chemotherapy. He talks openly about his journey and how its affected him, he also likes to admit that he was lucky to have found the cancer but unlucky in that it cant be cured. He is such a positive and fun guest to talk to and we find humour in the many topics we cover. What I loved most about Iain was his honesty and how the conversation just flowed even though we were talking about some serious issues. It was a blast to have this chat with Iain and I really hope as many people as possible listen. It’s an eye opener and a lesson to us all about staying POSITIVE! --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/lee-greenhough/message

Before he was MacReady in THE THING, before he was Snake Plisskin in ESCAPE FROM NEW YORK, Kurt Russell was happy-go-lucky Medfield College man Dexter Riley in the Disney comedy The Computer Wore Tennis Shoes.

Snake Plisskin a bad enough dude to rescue the Pleasident. Kurt Russell's iconic anti-hero saves the world and still manages to blow it up in John Carpenter's Escape From New York!

We’re jumping way ahead in the Dolph Lundgren filmography… all the way to 2013! On this episode I had the pleasure of speaking with Christopher Hatton, writer and director of the underrated zombie-horror-action flick, Battle of the Damned. In this film Lundgren portrayed Max Gatling — a Snake Plisskin-esque hero, who teams up with a band of renegade robots on a mission to rescue an industrialist’s daughter in a post-apocalyptic Asia overrun with zombies. If it sounds like a wild film, it is! It was relatively new territory for Lundgren, as this was the first time we saw him team up with robots and battle zombies. Christopher Hatton was gracious enough to speak with me at length about his time in the film industry as well as his time working on the film. Is the film an official sequel to his previous film, Robotropolis? What was it like filming a science fiction film in a country so close to the equator? What kinds of limitations was Hatton up against in filming on a tight schedule with a limited budget? How was Hatton able to to find instant production value out of an abandoned shopping mall? Why is the direct-to-video film industry dying, and what is killing it? Join us as Christopher Hatton and I have this spirited discussion on one of the more original films in the Lundgren canon! Special thanks to Christopher Hatton for his time. Also, special shout out to Fesliyan Studios for the show’s intro. track!

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!?
