On the podcast this time, Steven and Sean are traveling deep underground to stop an ancient ghost-sorcerer. We watched the 1986 film from John Carpenter, Big Trouble in Little China.

Anybody here reading have dazzling green eyes? Our suggestion to you is either get colored contacts or get ready to do battle against Lo Pan, the most fearsome Chinese sorcerer this side of whatever the heck city this movie takes place in.

Wait, are we to believe that the city is actually called “Chinatown”? All right. This is our monthly B-movie after all. Listen on to discover how we rate this, ahem, unique movie.
