Retroist Podcast Episode 309 (The Last Dragon)

Welcome to the newest episode of the Retroist Podcast. In today's episode, I talk all about the 1985 martial arts comedy, The Last Dragon. This movie is a fun mid-80s romp that performed well in theaters and became a staple of cable television for years afterward. I hope I can encourage you to re-watch it or check it out for the first time. I start off the show by discussing my limited time studying martial arts. In 'The Last Dragon,' if you're a real martial arts master, you get 'The Glow.' I had a similar experience one day in school, but sadly, it didn't impress anyone. Then, I delve into the film itself, exploring Motown, Berry Gordy, the individuals in front of and behind the camera, and much more. Covering this was a fun topic, one that I, like many, have wanted to tackle for a while. It's great to finally get it out the door.
