MJOLNIR AT THE MINISERIES EPISODE II: THE KOBRA KAI KID

As Mjolnir at the Movies makes its long-unawaited return, Hanna and David take a look at the popular series Cobra Kai, a belated TV spin-off from the original Karate Kid films, rather forgetting that shite with Will Smith's brat ever existed - and quite rightly so. In fact, we also forget to mention it, as it was so utterly forgettable. We discuss the evolution of woke politics from the original film to the series, as well as the effects of demographic change on programmes in general. As the series' creators hail from a certain tribe, the JQ inevitably crops up. We also examine the current nostalgia for the 1980s and the effects of deconstruction theory on culture.

FILM REVIEW: THE KARATE KID, How Hollywood Manipulates our Morals

The film director John G Avildsen died a few weeks ago at the age of 81. He is best remembered as the director of Rocky, for which he won an Academy Award, and The Karate Kid. He also directed the overt anti-Afrikaaner propaganda film The Power of One. Yet it is the more subtle attack on White American values in The Karate Kid I wish to concentrate on. Avildsen cannot be held solely responsible for the film, as films are almost invariably ensemble productions. One must also look to the scriptwriter Robert Mark Kamen, who may or may not be Jewish, and producer Jerry Weintraub, who certainly is.
