The Goods:
Note: This episode contains dubious martial arts criticism, elaborate conspiracy theories, and a masterclass in how not to attempt convenience store combat. Consider yourself saved from both misinformation and poor karate technique.

Unless you're Samantha LaRusso, in which case maybe work on that fighting technique first.
