June 20, 2025 #538: Sleep the Leg (“Karate Kid: Legends”)
0:00 - Some days are hard, and it’s hard to be informed without feeling overwhelmed. Our best antidote this week is listening to Dustin fix “Karate Kid: Legends”. Wouldn’t life just be happier in The Shire?

20:00 - BEGIN SPOILER DISCUSSION - Dustin begins spoiling the film, and then he begins explaining how he would have fixed the story. And as usual, it sounds a lot better than what we got.

1:04 :27 - We fulfill our obligation to follow up on the updated international box office for this movie.

0:00 - Running is hard.
1:00 - REVIEW - “Mission Impossible: The Final Reckoning” (2025). SPOILER FREE. We’re simply talking about our overall opinions on the film, and who we feel this film is most made for.
20:05 - BEGIN SPOILERS. We’re going to talk plot spoilers, more detailed discussions about story choices, and what we would have done differently. We spoil every Mission Impossible film.
