Episode Synopsis

Turn car on, turn car off. Pete and Trevor took a trip to see the Karate Kid: Legends, another legacy sequel (but one that Pete loves). Will this live up to the high-expectations out of Cobra Kai? How will the Will Smith/Jackie Chan remake fit into this? Listen for our immediate reactions after leaving the theatre. This is also the fourth week for our ongoing Project Superman, wherein we watch every single live-action theatrical Superman movie. This week we discuss Supergirl, which although does not contain an appearance by the man of steel himself, it still serves as an important part of the Christopher Reeve franchise (in that they tried to create an expanded universe and fell flat).Don’t forget to enter our ongoing contest to win a subscription to Letterboxd Patron: https://boxd.it/Gbt3OIntro and Pete’s history with Karate Kid (0:00)Review of Supergirl (19:00)Spoiler-free review of Karate Kid: Legends (35:50)Spoiler-talk (51:40)Karate Kid: LegendsBen Wang (Li Fong), Jackie Chan (Mr. Han), Ralph Macchio (Daniel LaRusso), Sadie Stanley (Mia), Joshua Jackson (Victor Lipani), Ming-Na Wen (Dr. Fong), Aramis Knight (Conor), Wyatt Oleff (Alan), Shaunette Renée Wilson (Ms. Morgan), Tim Rozon (O’Shea), Marco Zhang (Young Li Fong), William Zabka (Johnny Lawrence – cameo), Pat Morita (Mr. Miyagi – archival footage)Director: Jonathan EntwistleWriter: Rob LieberProducer: Karen RosenfeltExecutive Producers: Ralph Macchio, Jenny HinkeyCinematographer: Justin BrownEditor: Dana E.
