Subscribe!

When was the last time you watched the movie The Karate Kid? I know it's been awhile but the movie is different than you thought.

It's better.

We talk about this quinessential 80s and sports movie that actually has very little Karate but is packed full of solid life lessons.

But how white is it?

In this episode we talk through the story. Next week, in Part 2 we'll talk cultural impact and it's place in history.

Star Wars: Did the New Trilogy Miss the Mark?
In our latest episode, we dive into the galaxy far, far away for the very first time! Welcome to our own "Star Wars: Episode One." We explore the highs and lows of the new Star Wars trilogy and ask the burning questions: Did the new trilogy not include enough Skywalkers? Should it have mirrored the prequels a bit more and the original three a bit less? Was there enough tragedy to really make us care?

Join us as we navigate through the intricate lore, character arcs, and the ever-evolving legacy of the Skywalker saga. Whether you're a die-hard fan or just curious about the latest installments, this episode is packed with insights, debates, and, of course, a bit of WTF moments that you love from Unscripted Pivots.

Gladiator is peak dad cinema, no one is aruging that, but it's also an audacious film. Who gets to tell what stories in history? We look at the classic film's depiction of race and ethnicity. We talk about America's self-proclaimed right to tell any history it wants to and what that's about. 

Side note, Bernard is a Roman History major so he had a lot to say about the movie and that period time!

Occassionally Bernard and I get together to talk movie franchises specific. These episodes are called Franchise Talk. 

In this one we talk about Zach Snyder's recent comment on the Joe Rogan Podcast about Batman. Are we weirdly protecting a god, or do Franchises and legacy characters have rules that allow them to survive for DECADES?
