A commercial flop when it was released in 1986, Big Trouble in Little China has become a beloved cult classic and one of the best collaborations between John Carpenter and Kurt Russell.

Kurt Russell is back as cinema’s coolest Santa in The Christmas Chronicles 2 with wife and co-star Goldie Hawn joining the fun as Mrs. Claus in November on Netflix.

Kurt Russell and James Spader co-star in 1994’s Stargate, directed by Roland Emmerich, as they lead a team through a mysterious portal and end up on a world with similarities to Ancient Egypt being ruled over by brutal overlords with advanced technology and armor modeled on Egyptian mythology.

To celebrate the launch of Disney+, Zach and Chris watched the Kurt Rusell starring 1969 comedy The Computer Wore Tennis Shoes, where a freak lightning accident turns college student Dexter Riley’s brain into a literal computer.

This week on the podcast, Zach, Chris, and Joe talk about the lack of modern Lovecraft adaptations, Captain Marvel, Jingle All the Way, Kurt Russell Claus, Ron Burgandy podcasting, the Benicio Del Toro Wolfman and much more.
