159: MAM: The Next Karate Kid

This week, we're back at it with another entry in March-ial Arts Month! Mr. Miyagi is back to impart his wisdom on another troubled teen, only this time, it's a girl named Julie. After the death of her parents, Julie has been nothing but rebellious towards her Grandma, and has continuously been in trouble at school, even landing on the radar of the school's paramilitary watchdog group, and their psycho leaders. Julie's only solace is the time she spends with an injured hawk she found on school grounds, and secretly keeps on the roof of the school. After Mr. Miyagi intervenes in Julie's life, the once resistant Julie lets her guard down, and heads Miyagi's wisdom and learns how to cope with her anger, find inner peace, and pull out inner strength.
She also starts smoochin' on a boy, and has a showdown with a dime-store version of Ben Stiller at the docks. It's the Next Karate Kid, this week on the Radkast!
