This week on Big Trouble in Little Podcast, Andy, Joe Dubs, Zac, and Chaz suit up as Earth’s last line of defense — and also as the harshest critics — to tackle the brand-new, screen-filled War of the Worlds (2025). From Ice Cube’s cyber-security analyst staring down an alien invasion on Microsoft Teams, to Eva Longoria scrambling through government tech chaos, the crew explores whether this modern “screenlife” spin on H.G. Wells’ classic can bring terror — or just a frustrating migraine.

On this eerie and imaginative episode of Big Trouble in Little Podcast, Andy, Joe Dubs, Zac, and Chaz journey through two vastly different yet haunting tales — The Phantom Carriage (1921) and Trollhunter (2010). From Victor Sjöström’s ghostly meditation on mortality and redemption to André Øvredal’s found-footage monster hunt through Norway’s wilderness, the crew unpacks how both films use folklore, fear, and human frailty to explore what lurks beyond the veil. Expect thoughtful analysis, wild theories, and plenty of laughs as the guys connect a silent-era masterpiece to modern mythmaking — proving that great storytelling, like death and trolls, never really dies.

This week on Big Trouble in Little Podcast, Andy, Joe Dubs, Zac, and Chaz take a wild dive into the duality of man — and comedy — with Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde (1931) and The Nutty Professor (1996).
