Ep. 331 - The Year of Carpenter: Big Trouble in Little China (1986)!

This week we continue on with our Year of Carpenter with a look at his next big creative swing with 1986's Big Trouble in Little China. Will the goodwill he built up with the moderate successes of Christine and Starman lead to another good box office and critical praise? Or will a light hearted fantasy comedy action film that never takes its self seriously not be understood at the time of its release? 

Ep. 330 - Mad Gods and Angry Internet!

Ep. 329 - The Year of Carpenter: Starman (1984)!

This week on Invasion of the Podcast, we move forward with the Year of Carpenter with 1984's Starman. Can the man that made us afraid of our backyard, untrusting of those around us, and question why that car is slowly driving towards us, make us fall in love with an alien that wants to understand humanity and a woman who thinks she's lost hers? 

 

Also, San Diego Comicon happened and every news story ever came out. We get into that and start the Starman talk at the 49 minute mark. Enjoy!

Ep. 327 - Strange New Worlds!

This week on Invasion, Steve and Paul catch up on what they did over the break with spoiler free reviews of Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy game and Thor: Love and Thunder, does the MCU have a definitive plan for phase 4?, The Munsters trailer sure looks like something, Steve may or may not haven been in a garage in Florida, and we talk about season 1 of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds and how it may have figured out the blueprint for Trek going forward, and Paul has Steve play a game of 'Stark Trek title of Dream Theater Song?'

Ep. 326 - The Year of Carpenter: Christine (1983)!

This week we are joined by special guest Terry of the Strange Highways podcast to continue on our Year of Carpenter by talking about Christine. After the box office failure of The Thing, Carpenter takes an adaptation of a then yet to be released Stephen King book as a gun for hire job. Does his first project that he didn't develop from the ground up feel like a Carpenter film or is it just a paycheck and then on to other things?
