Welcome to America's least necessary film criticism podcast. Each week, a guest will join hosts Noah Frank and Will Vitka to discuss a film that is at least 10 years old, that at least one of us hasn't seen in that period of time, and that, hopefully, at least one of us hasn't seen at all. No classics, no bombs. This is about revisiting regular movies that we think we liked when we first saw them, to see how both we and the culture around the film have changed in the intervening years. In contrast to the constant, life-or-death anxiety of the last few years, to the unyielding firehose of news, this podcast aims only to answer a single question with the lowest stakes imaginable: Do you still like this movie?

We welcome our first guest to the pod as Noah’s college roommate Matt Poldberg (Twitter: @NotSpamIPromise) brings us the nearly memory-holed, 2001-I-mean-2002 box office dud “Big Trouble.” No, not “Big Trouble in Little China,” this is a sweaty, 85-minute ensemble slapstick comedy caper flick in the Miami swamp that’s as light and low-calorie as a plate of arugula.
You’ll notice a few spots where Matt’s words slur—that’s a technical/streaming issue on our end, not due to any voice/health/drunkenness issues on his part. These things happen.
Late in the episode, I reference the Ted Lasso pilot script. You can read that here.
If you’d like to watch the movie, it’s available for a few bucks on most streaming platforms, the cheapest as of publication is on iTunes ($2.99). As always, join us on Twitter and Instagram @LikeThisMovie and use the hashtag #ITILTM to join in the conversation.
