Welcome to Box Office Birthday, a calendar-accurate cinema rewatch podcast! Join us as we relive the 1997 year in film by choosing a new movie release to watch each Friday.
Brandon and Megan chose to watch Jackie Chan’s First Strike as the first new release of the year. They ponder the narrative significance of koala bear underwear, debate the best Jackie Chan fight sequences, and try to understand the complex numbering system of the First Strike franchise.
