078 - The Karate Kid (1984)
from Clamshell Case Files · host Zero Science
This week the crew strikes first and has no mercy talking about The Karate Kid. It’s a movie that deals in tropey Eastern Mysticism, but also talks about the horrors and realities of Japanese internment camps with more accuracy and honesty than any public school system in 1980s America! Also, some whiny kid really kicks the hell out of his bike. I don’t know, that whole plotline doesn’t seem that important.
