    Season 1 -Episode - 11 -Eye of the Tiger, man, Eye of the Tiger!!

    Season 1 -Episode - 11 – Eye of the Tiger, man, Eye of the Tiger! Dust off your satin boxing trunks and crank up the synth, because this week on Adventures in 80's Cinema, Joe and Daisy are firing up the time machine to revisit 1982. We're stepping back into the ring with the Italian Stallion himself for the high-octane, neon-drenched sequel that defined a decade: Rocky III. After the gritty underdog vibes of the '70s, Rocky Balboa has it all—fame, wealth, and more endorsements than he can count (including a legendary cameo on The Muppet Show). But success has made him "civilized" and soft, setting the stage for a brutal fall at the hands of the most ferocious antagonist in the franchise: James "Clubber" Lang, played by the one-and-only Mr. T.

This week, Joe and Daisy are crane-kicking their way back to 1984 to discuss one of the ultimate underdog stories of the decade: The Karate Kid. It's the film that made "wax on, wax off" a household phrase and turned a shower-curtain-wearing Ralph Macchio into a martial arts icon. We're breaking down Daniel LaRusso's journey from New Jersey "fish out of water" to All-Valley Champion, but we're not just talking about the tournament.
