Your sensei’s of pop culture trivia celebrate the 40th anniversary of one of Heigl’s formative influences. You’ll learn how the Karate Kid led Clint Eastwood to ban all Coca-Cola products from his sight, the real life war heroes Mr. Miyagi's story sheds light on, Pat Norita’s surprising early career as a boundary-pushing Catskills comic, all the leads we nearly had before they landed on Ralph Macchio, and the array of real-life martial arts heavies involved in the film. Heigl, a real life Karate Kid, explains all the ways that the Crane Kick was a bogus (and illegal) move and doles out some self-defense advice you can use — before Jordan waxes poetic on Bananarama.
