This episode of Videoblivious covers the sleeper hit of 1984: The Karate Kid. It's a movie about a son without a father, and a father without a son. And there's lots of karate... and 1984's version of an anti-hero. Also, some real jerks.
I welcome my best friend, Steve Reinker, onto the show to discuss this great film, what it's meant to him over the past four decades...and what it's meant to me since I saw it 36 hours ago.
Thanks for listening. You're the best around.
