A Bruce Lee 30 for 30 documentary dropping right as our podcast starts picking up steam is, to quote the wise Rob Pelinka: "Manna from Heaven"



Trung and Eric come on for our first Triple Threat 3-man episode and we switch up the format into a punchy question and answer roundtable and answer 5 big questions:
1: What was Bruce Lee's impact on you growing up? (3:45)
2: What similarities did you see between Bruce's Be Water and Michael Jordan's Last Dance? (16:20)
3: What hot takes have we heard about Bruce's death? (23:39)
4: How legitimate were Bruce Lee's fighting skills? (31:00)
5: And finally, what was his biggest impact for Asian Americans and what would he think of how we're viewed on screen and in society today? (37:36)



NOTES:


  • Trung raves about the soundtrack for Dragon: A Bruce Lee Story @ (5:30). You can listen to the full theme song here

  • Sean mentions @ (28:47) a Chinese MMA fighter who made it his life mission to expose "fake" tai chi and kung fu masters. His name is Xu Xiaodong (徐晓冬). A brief interview including fight footage is here
