STPJ Gaiden: The Karate Kid

The STPJ team hops into the Miyagi-Dolorean to visit the Regional Karate Tournament that started at all...

STPJ Gaiden: Sidekicks

For our first foray into the Karate Cinematic Universe, the team has Karate Kid at home, so quit complaining! And home is Houston, Texas, The Birthplace of Humidity. The late great Jonathan Brandis battles the twin demons of maladaptive daydreaming and oxygen deprivation to achieve karate glory under the guidance of Mister Mako-yagi-san. With hot-for-teacher Beau Bridges, hot-for-schub Julian Nixon, Winny from the Wonder Years, and a truly unhinged Joe Piscopo and Richard Moll one-two-punch (I don't think I’m forgetting anyone), this film makes you really believe that the early 90’s were the peak 90’s in a very mid martial arts children's classic!

We Were Karate, You and I

The season one finale has it all. Booze! Drugs! Pornography! Poor sportsmanship! Woke mind virus! Three-point kicks, one-point kicks! Kicks that don't count! Karate! Not-Karate! Who will win enough arbitrary points to take home the All Valley House Cup and be declared Karate Prefect? You don't know? This show came out in 2018...

Misunderstanding Triangle

They’re not so different, Daniel and Johnny. By the end of this episode they become even more not as different than they previously weren’t. TTB: 16:59 Bully Rating: 2.5

Rocky Babies

Two dojos, both unalike in dignity (one boils hot pockets, the other buys potato salad), In fair Reseda where we lay our scene. In episode 8 we watch both dojos get some nature-based karate training involving trees and viral infections, while Daniel experiences the brutal nightmare of having a family. Also Ashley doesn't know who the good guy in Karate Kid was. Our hosts also discuss Karate Kid’s spiritual prequel, Rocky (1976), aka Karate Kid Zero. Body Count: 1 Pontiac Firebird, and also Hawk, probably (look, we want to be optimistic but let's face it, he's a dead bird walking) TTB: 0.09!!! Bully Rating: 3 (they signed a waiver)
