Cobra Kai keeps us guessing in these last two episodes, sending all the adults out clubbing (which was delightful) and then into a bloody life-or-death battle at Terry’s place! Incredible finale to cap of another fantastic season. Thanks everybody for listening along with us. This show is so much fun, and we appreciate you guys listening and calling and writing in. Let’s hope we get at least one more season! Thanks to Ben for joining us for this last one! If you liked our podcasting this...

After last week’s incredible pair of episodes, we were a little let down by these at first. But I think during the podcast, we managed to see some of the good in them.

So much Cobra Kai greatness in these two episodes, with callbacks from the movies, tons of laughs, conflict, drama, heart. A bit of a charged episode from us this week, as we debate whether Daniel is his own worst enemy.

As parents and with Richard being a teacher, some of the issues raised in this series and in these couple of episodes in particular, specifically around screen dependencies, really hit us close to home. Little bit of a different type of conversation from us this week around that, and I think you’ll appreciate it.  Show support and get ad-free episodes: patreon.com/jasoncabassi  Email: [email protected] Social: facebook.com/podcastica & twitter.com/podcastica More great...

We’re not sure why it didn’t occur to us that Cobra Kai would give us a tournament-style rematch between Daniel and Johnny, but how kickass is it that it did?!! So great. Also this week, Johnny learns feminism. :P We’re happy to be joined this week by our friend Damian, host of the Watched It in the ‘80s Podcast, which you can find at https://pod.link/1565684262 or by searching for “Watched It in the ‘80s” wherever you get podcasts.  Show support and get ad-free episodes:...

Of course Johnny is an Iceman guy over Maverick, lol. Rima and Rich and I are having as much fun as ever podcasting about another excellent season of Cobra Kai. In these two eps, we noticed they hit that theme of surrogate father figures harder than ever.

Cobra Kai is back! This is one of our favorite shows to watch and to podcast about, and these first two episodes did not disappoint! Johnny Lawrence getting the Miyagi-do chore-style training treatment is sublime :) Join Richard, Rima, and Jason as we talk it out.

What can I say about this movie? There’s a surprising amount that the show Cobra Kai draws from it. And I actually did find little nuggets of that old Karate Kid magic in it. But mostly it’s a huge letdown and we don’t pull our punches in this episode! IMO it’s definitely worth listening to the end just to hear Richard’s breakout performance :) This podcast is made possible by listeners like you (and you too) who have supported us at patreon.com/jasonandkaren.

Holy crap, what a great couple of episodes to cap off an awesome season! So many great moments. There are a lot of shows and movies capitalizing on our nostalgia these days, but for our money, Cobra Kai is doing it best. Hope you guys enjoyed this season as much as we did :) I’m not sure what we’ll be covering next on this podcast (aside from the 1973 Westworld movie next week), but we’ll be back sooner or later, so stay subscribed and we’ll speak to you...

Johnny and Daniel are back being senseis again in these couple of episodes, and all the kids, wives, and girlfriends are onboard. We look at how that happened and whether we think it’s justified considering what happened at the end of last season.  Email: [email protected] Social: facebook.com/podcastica & twitter.com/podcastica Show support: patreon.com/jasoncabassi More great shows: podcastica.com

Another great couple of episodes: Kreese’s formative experience in Vietnam, Johnny figuring out the whole Facebook thing, and Daniel facing off with another longtime rival, Chozen. Live or die, man?! HONK!!! This week we’re joined by special guest Ben Beck, who you can find at The Next Level Podcast Network at nextlevelradioonline.com and also on Strange Indeed talking with Rima about CBS All Access’ adaptation of Stephen King’s The Stand. Recently I had a great time talking Karate Kid over...
