About this episode
This episode reflects on the life and career of Chuck Norris, exploring his transition from fighter to action movie icon and internet legend.
Some legends are born. Others are built one roundhouse at a time. In this episode, we’re talking about the man who went from world?class fighter to action?movie icon to the internet’s first mythic superhero. International celebrity and tough-guy Chuck Norris didn’t just make movies; he made folklore, and we’re looking back at his life and career. (May contain some explicit language.)
