Movie And A Beer Episode 190: Big Trouble in Little China

from Movie And A Beer · host www.movieandabeer.com

We're back in the 80's with this episode of Movie And A Beer, it's Big Trouble in Little China staring Kurt Russel as Jack Burton, a truck driving loud mouth that seems to stumble himself out of danger more times than not. Jack just can't seem to catch a break as he get's mixed up with a magical plot put into motion by Lo Pan, a 2000 year old Chinese wizard that's trying to become mortal again in the depths of the San Francisco China Town. Jack helps his friend rescue the two green eyed ladies before Lo Pan marries and kills them. With plenty of action and groovy special effects, this kung-fu comedy driven spoof is one of the cultural touchstones of those that grew up in the 80's.  We had a couple of great beers along the way, including a rice lager from Wayfinder Beer (OR), and a collaboration double dry hopped double IPA from Widomaker and Other Half Brewing. Give the episode a listen to hear about these beers and a great discussion about acting and how to deliver lines.
