The Karate Kid (1984)

I hope you’ve been practicing your waxing skills, because things are about to get intense as Hot Dave’s Summer Film Fest enters its penultimate episode with The Karate Kid. I’m your host and sensei, Dave, and joining me again are fellow cinephiles and All Valley Karate Championship finalists Mike, Ryan, and Cody.

Listen as we discuss the film that inspired a whole generation to sign up for Karate classes; we shut down the misguided fan theory that Daniel LaRusso is the true villain of The Karate Kid; and finally, I once again dig an embarrassing hole for myself as I can’t help but be distracted by the Fruit Juice vending machine in the Cobra Kai dojo.
