Episode 15: Be Water: Bruce Lee's impact, athleticism, death, and comparisons to MJ + much much more with Trung Phan and Eric Lee

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
