While subverting beloved movies can become a bit tiresome, it can be brilliant when it’s done well, and J. Matthew Turner has knocked it out of the park with his reading of The Karate Kid.

Barbecue sauces have a uniquely Southern and Western U.S. history. Most experts agree that adding sauce and spices to meat and fish began early in our history, with Native Americans teaching the art to early European settlers. The natives probably developed the process as part of an attempt to keep meats and fish from spoiling quickly. Salt played a significant role in those early barbecue sauces, and salt is a well-known preservative in the meat curing process.
