The Karate Kid

This week on the Exciting & New podcast Jason Andy and Dana break down the 1984 Cobra Kai prequel film The Karate Kid. Jersey boy Ralph Macchio plays a bullied kid who’s lucky enough to live in the same apartment complex as Mr Miyagi (soft g, not hard g). Miyagi has tons of chores for our karate kid to work on that will miraculously translate directly to the karate mat. Elizabeth Shue joins in on the fun playing the insanely-too-hot-for-the-guy-even-by-Hollywood-standards love interest. Come for the karate. Stay for the mild anti Asian racism. Hey it was 80s. Enjoy the pod.Jason, Andy and Dana will discuss a 1986 movie weekly, breaking down all the nonsense there within. The 3 hosts all work together and everyone else around them was getting really annoyed at all the movie talk, so they decided to annoy the world in podcast form.Check out previous seasons to hear them discuss 1982, 1983, 1984 & 1985 movies, as well as a full season of Love Boat episodes (if that is your thing). Plus one-off specials and a weekly mini "what are we watching" podcast.#jezoo74 #aegonzo1 #danacapoferri #exciting_new
