Precinct 13: The Movies and Music of John Carpenter

TV & Film


This week, Chris and Nick take a break from their regularly scheduled programming to share some holiday cheer from the most unexpected of places! Back in 1986, John Carpenter's band, featuring his friends and fellow filmmakers Tommy Lee Wallace and Nick Castle, filmed a music video for their end-credits theme to Big Trouble in Little China... and it is, in our humble opinion, the greatest thing ever. We love it so much, in fact, that we've decided that discussing it is the perfect way to end the craziest year in recent memory. This video has nothing whatsoever to do with the holidays, but its joyful cheesiness and rad 80s style is sure to brighten any Carpenter fan's season as 2020 draws to a close. We even (poorly) attempt a live commentary, so be sure to cue the clip up on YouTube and follow along (and, while you're there, definitely check out the hilarious comments, as well)! Happy holidays and a VERY happy New Year, and we'll see you in 2021!
