Description

To kick off our podcast, Brian and Roy talk about Big Trouble in Little China, a truly bizarre 1980's film that mixes attempts at kung fu, Asian mysticism, and gross orientalism. As we unpack its place in Asian American movie representation, one burning question remains for director John Carpenter: Who on earth is this movie for??
