For the first Geek Challenge in many months, Paul has challenged AJ to John Carpenter's 1986 fantasy/martial arts/neo-Western cult classic Big Trouble in Little China. In turn, AJ has challenged Paul to Henri-Georges Clouzot's 1953 "anti-everything" thriller The Wages of Fear. What, pray tell, is the common denominator? They're, uh, they're both about truckers. Tenuous connections are what Geek Challenges thrive on, and this one at least provides some sobering realizations for the boys. What do Paul's reactions to some '50s movies and AJ's reactions to some '80s movies say about them as people and that pesky generational gap? There may be actual answers.
