Turn car on, turn car off. Pete and Trevor took a trip to see the Karate Kid: Legends, another legacy sequel (but one that Pete loves). Will this live up to the high-expectations out of Cobra Kai? How will the Will Smith/Jackie Chan remake fit into this? Listen for our immediate reactions after leaving the theatre.

This is also the fourth week for our ongoing Project Superman, wherein we watch every single live-action theatrical Superman movie. This week we discuss Supergirl, which although does not contain an appearance by the man of steel himself, it still serves as an important part of the Christopher Reeve franchise (in that they tried to create an expanded universe and fell flat).
