Enjoy Movies! 

It’s time to climb aboard the Pork-Chop Express as Jay and Shua celebrate the 40th anniversary of Big Trouble in Little China. The guys break down why John Carpenter’s cult classic remains such a beloved blend of action, comedy, fantasy, and complete cinematic chaos.

 

Along the way they explore the movie through the Save the Cat story structure, debate whether Jack Burton is actually the hero, share behind-the-scenes trivia, and dive into a series of themed “Hells” featuring trucker sayings, Lo Pan curses, and Shakespeare quotes. It’s weird, wonderful, and exactly the kind of trouble Enjoy Stuff was built for.
