About this listen

In this episode, we dive into the 1980s craze for martial arts and ninjas that swept through movies, TV shows, cartoons, and toy aisles. From the rise of black-clad warriors in cult classics to the karate boom sparked by Hollywood hits, we explore how Eastern fighting styles became a Western pop culture obsession—and why America just couldn’t get enough of throwing stars, headbands, and slow-motion roundhouse kicks.
