Siskoid Cinema presents… No Escape from Kurt Russell, the show that explores the filmography of one of American cinema’s best leading men and tries to get a handle on his mystique. Why is it we’ll watch anything so long as Kurt Russell’s name is attached to the project? On this episode, Siskoid and Dr. Anj discuss 1986’s Big Trouble in Little China. A box office flop that makes the macho white hero a sidekick? Yeah, but Kurt Russell is in it!
