TV & Film


While Dan is away, the girls will play!  This month we are joined by previous podcast guest, Kate Holland (check her out on our Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade ep!).  A little while back, Kate suggested watching Cobra Kai as perfect pandemic viewing.  KYD's second episode had been a re-watch of the first Karate Kid, so it only made sense to invite Kate to watch and discuss The Karate Kid Part II before we join her in Cobra Kai's dojo! Mr. Miyagi's (Noriyuki "Pat" Morita) father has fallen gravely ill, so Miyagi must travel back to Japan to see him one last time.  He is joined by his faithful karate student, Daniel (Ralph Macchio), who looks forward to learning more about his sensei's past history.  When they land in Okinawa, a decades old grudge between Miyagi and former friend, Sato (Danny Kamekona) comes back to plague our heroes.  Miyagi must settle the score with Sato once and for all, while Daniel must fight off an enemy of his own: Sato's nephew, Chozen (Yuji Okumoto)!  But Daniel soon realizes this is no longer a tournament match...this fight is to the DEATH! Dan and Chrysten weren't such big fans of the first film...will this second installment help to redeem the franchise's honor?  Or will Kate just wind up watching Cobra Kai with no one to talk to about it?  Join us and find out!  And don't forget to RATE, REVIEW & SUBSCRIBE!   HERE'S THE LINK TO WATCH THE READING OF ROMEO & JULIET MENTIONED AT THE END OF THE EPISODE: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L-5h7CqzUFI
