The Next Karate Kid

Mike and Tom discuss The Next Karate Kid
Listen as Mike and Tom discuss the  1994 sequel The Next Karate Kid. They talk about how this series has fallen into the family friendly 90's trap, discuss how in the world an elite private school has a group of thug students roaming the halls under the moniker The Alpha Elites, and the abomination that is the gender politics of this movie when they do something smart by changing the gender of the Karate Kid and immediately follow that by doing something dumb like ensuring that character goes to the ball looking pretty in her dress.
