Episode 44: ENTER THE DRAGON (1973)

In the final complete movie released before Bruce Lee's death, ENTER THE DRAGON, characters stand in for themes and empires stand in for philosophies. It’s a little rough around the edges as a movie, but what can't be denied is its impact writ large on every form of media to this day. In this episode, we try to pick apart ENTER THE DRAGON’s various competing philosophical accusations and discover that the only way to confront the self is to realize it doesn’t exist. Cody also ties the movie to STAR WARS and COWBOY BEBOP, which makes so much goddamn sense I’m angry I didn’t think of it first.
