Richter Tell our listeners about yourselves and how you came to collaborate on the original Buckaroo Banzai. As I recall, the original script went through a number of forms.One of the elements I love about the movie and the novel are the constant callbacks - like an editor’s note in a Marvel comic - was this a conscious decision to adopt a comic book convention?Were there any comics you were reading at the time?Against the World Crime League was originally teased at the end of the film. How has this story evolved from its original conception? And why was a novel the right medium?I have to ask about my favorite film, Big Trouble in Little China - Much like Buckaroo, Jack Burton has endured. What is it about these characters that connect with audiences all these years later?Without spoiling anything - things are looking pretty bleak for Buckaroo and the Hong Kong Cavaliers at the start of this book. Were these big changes always in the cards?The multiverse is hotter than ever right now, if you could have a Buckaroo crossover with any movie or comic book character, what would it be and why?Has Mike Richardson pitched you to open up a Buckaroo Banzai comic series?Are you reading or watching anything right now that you’d like to put on our listeners’ radars?
