The Nextlander Watchcast Episode 199: Big Trouble in Little China (1986) (Patreon)

On this week's Watchcast we finally cash a check we've been repeatedly writing since we first started this podcast. Specifically, we're writing a check to ol' Jack Burton, and it's good for one viewing of one of the last big John Carpenter films we'd yet to tackle, Big Trouble in Little China!
