  • Summary

  • We're taking you back to 1984 to discuss the classic coming-of-age martial arts film, The Karate Kid, starring Ralph Macchio, Pat Morita, Elisabeth Shue and the highly underrated William Zabka!

    It's like Rocky, but with feet and in high school!

    We'll discuss the film's impact on 80s pop culture, analyze the characters and their relationships, and debate the effectiveness of Mr. Miyagi's unorthodox training methods. Plus, we'll reminisce about our own experiences with karate, bonsai trees, and 80s nostalgia.
