#68 Big Trouble in Little China

Thoughts, feelings and musings from Sheppy concerning the Big Blue Boy Scout in general, James Gunn's new film in particular and cow-eating dogs especially.   Up, up and away!   (also...! check out our Superman double episode and pitches- ep 52 of SoG!)

Intro. Welcome to Broader Shoulders!  Join Sheppy in this, the first in a series of spin-off episodes ...and a new dimension in podcast!   Buckle up, Chill out and Spin-off! It's Shoulders time.  

The Pitch: A sequel to the iconic 1984 supernatural slasher classic. 

Jimmy and Sheppy get chatty about the excellent docs Light & Magic and Jim Henson: Idea Man, as well as The Bear, Sugar, Handmaid's Tale, Servant, 24, Jurassic World Rebirth and more besides...

In the fourth (and final build up episode) of their mini-series, Jimmy and Sheppy have a chat about Parts 6 and 7 of the Nightmare on Elm Street series, 'Freddy's Dead: The Final Nightmare' and 'Wes Craven's New Nightmare'.  "Meet your maker!"

Time for the third episode of the Shoulders of Giants mini-series devoted to one Mr. F. Krueger, formerly of 1428 Elm Street. For this Chapter Sheppy goes solo to brave the fifth instalment which, purists will know, has no number attached and is officially titled 'The Dream Child.'  "OK Krueger, this one's for keeps!" 

In the second of their mini-series, Jimmy and Sheppy have a chat about Parts 3 and 4 of the Nightmare on Elm Street series, 'Dream Warriors' and 'The Dream Master'.  "You can check in, but you can't check out!"

For this listening mission (should you choose to accept it) Jimmy and Sheppy debrief the latest (last?) Ethan Hunt caper, find time for a spoiler free chat about Severance season 2 and, for good measure, throw in a voice note from Sheppy on recent treats viewed...

Starting a new mini-series, Jimmy and Sheppy discuss all seven of the original, seminal films in the Nightmare on Elm Street series. We start, fittingly, with the classic original entry as well as the oft-decried first sequel. “Welcome to Prime Time!”

Join Jimmy and Sheppy as they have a chat about some televisual treats and films that have recently been on the watch list, whilst also remembering Jean Marsh, George Wendt and Joe Don Baker.
