Review | Quantum Leap (2022) 205 - One Night In Koreatown

Fate's Wide Wheel: A Quantum Leap Podcast

Ben lands in the body of an 18-year-old working for his father's shoe store in Koreatown in Los Angeles at the start of the explosive 1992 riots; facing an emotional connection in the riots to his past, Magic joins Ben on the leap.

History, heart, hope, and humor! This one has it all. We dive right in with some historical context for the episode and then hear my thoughts on the specifics of "One Night In Koreatown". [EDITOR'S NOTE: Due to circumstances beyond my control, the last 15 minutes of the video are of a substandard quality. Apologies. Audio, however, remains clear.]
