- EPISODE NOTES

This is the first of three episodes dedicated to a critical review of Tom Bleecker's salacious 1996 Bruce Lee "biography"  Unsettled Matters.  This is the intro episode which focuses on the background.  Parts two and three will go deeper into the book.  Buckle up, it's a long ride!
