7:36:29

Whoa, just

7:36:29

curious. Welcome to Just curious

7:36:35

media. This is let's talk Cobra

7:36:35

Kai. I'm Jason Connell.

7:36:39

And I'm Sal Rodriguez.

7:36:41

All right sound

7:36:41

we are back for another special

7:36:45

episode. I might add. Yeah.

7:36:48

I know that they're all special. But this one is very special. You know,

7:36:50

why would this movie The Next

7:36:53

Karate Kid break down? I slow

7:36:53

down. I feel like we delayed on

7:36:58

this one.

7:36:58

Yes, yes, we did

7:37:00

didn't we?

7:37:00

We did. It took a

7:37:00

long time. Well, it's the

7:37:03

weakest of anything Karate Kid

7:37:03

movie style movie related. And

7:37:09

it wasn't on our radar, but it

7:37:09

is true. We are discussing

7:37:14

revisiting rereleasing The Next

7:37:14

Karate Kid 1994 scene by scene

7:37:19

breakdown. Why are we doing

7:37:19

this? Well, if you're listening

7:37:22

to this, hopefully you've seen

7:37:22

the other three, the original

7:37:25

trilogy, got rereleases, as

7:37:25

well. So hey, you got to throw

7:37:29

this guy in for good measure.

7:37:29

We're going back dusting them

7:37:33

off, not touching them. That's

7:37:33

what we're not doing, not

7:37:36

redoing them. But we're putting,

7:37:36

you know, beginning on they're

7:37:40

catching up to reflecting where

7:37:40

we were at the time. And then

7:37:44

also putting these in order for

7:37:44

our fan in order. You know,

7:37:48

boom, boom, boom, boom, there'll

7:37:48

be in order in April. So if you

7:37:52

wanted to go back and do a deep

7:37:52

dive scene by scene breakdown,

7:37:55

and enjoy them, you can find

7:37:55

them more easily Sal me people

7:37:58

rerelease episodes, I've never

7:37:58

done it. But this was an I've

7:38:02

never done it in this fashion.

7:38:02

I've definitely taken something

7:38:05

that's was on Let's Talk movies

7:38:05

and repurposed it for let's talk

7:38:08

Cobra Kai, if it's relevant. And

7:38:08

we also put something new on the

7:38:12

beginning to make it you know,

7:38:12

to kind of connect the dots. But

7:38:15

this was brand new, but I've been wanting to do it for a while because you can't change

7:38:17

the sort of ability of podcast

7:38:22

when it's out there. Boom on

7:38:22

that episodes, Episode, 22, and

7:38:24

so on and so forth. So I

7:38:24

figured, hey, this is a chance

7:38:27

to put them in order. And, and

7:38:27

who knows. I hope people enjoy

7:38:32

it. Enjoy this intro. And we can

7:38:32

kind of share some tidbits where

7:38:36

we were when we did this one.

7:38:39

I think the

7:38:39

length of all of these could be

7:38:42

like a great road trip. Yeah,

7:38:42

great road trip listening.

7:38:46

Totally. Totally. Each one each

7:38:46

each movie.

7:38:50

I like it well in

7:38:50

LA just driving somewhere

7:38:55

else driving 10 Miles that's all

7:38:56

Yeah, I loved

7:38:56

here all your episodes. Oh, wow.

7:39:00

Well, this was and let me just

7:39:00

bring up the poster here. I have

7:39:04

it next to me.

7:39:06

You happen to

7:39:06

have it. Boo. Yah.

7:39:09

You see one.

7:39:09

Marie's on there twice with

7:39:12

Hillary Swank two times. This

7:39:12

was episode 115. So for us for

7:39:19

let's talk Cobra Kai. And we

7:39:19

recorded this one Sal, August

7:39:24

2 2022. And the significance of

7:39:24

this was also the fact that

7:39:32

you were

7:39:32

somewhere else again, right?

7:39:36

Wait, I was somewhere else again?

7:39:37

No, we were in

7:39:37

person. No,

7:39:40

that's what I mean. I wasn't in my studio. We weren't in your name. And you

7:39:42

and I were in the same studio

7:39:46

for

7:39:46

the first time

7:39:46

since episode 10 of season two

7:39:49

of Cobra Kai. Oh my god. That's

7:39:49

the significance. We were in

7:39:54

studio together.

7:39:56

We were in the same room. But unfortunately, if you listen, it sounds the same.

7:39:57

We were at West. Oh, yes. Very

7:40:03

significant. Very significant.

7:40:04

We're at Orange

7:40:04

dock studios. Great friend Wes

7:40:07

Hambright. Got a shout out. So

7:40:07

much fun. He let us come in and

7:40:11

take over the studio for a few

7:40:11

hours because it takes a while.

7:40:15

And we released it August

7:40:15

31 2022. actually went back home

7:40:20

to Massachusetts at the time and

7:40:20

put it together and came out

7:40:24

then. Now the running time that

7:40:24

day edited running time. This

7:40:27

isn't just raw time but the

7:40:27

edited time one hour 48 minutes.

7:40:33

They'll movie The next Kearney

7:40:33

kid movie. One hour 47 minutes.

7:40:39

Once we almost we almost nailed

7:40:39

How did that even have? I do not

7:40:43

know we weren't doing a

7:40:43

director's commentary. Just

7:40:46

didn't happen that way. So it

7:40:46

was a lot of fun. Hang

7:40:50

on Jason was what

7:40:50

was the gap between Karate Kid

7:40:54

three and The Next Karate Kid?

7:40:54

You mean the movies?

7:40:58

Not our Yeah.

7:40:58

Well, commentary or commentary?

7:41:02

Oh, the comment it was saying

7:41:02

like episode. They're miles

7:41:05

apart. This is episode half

7:41:05

right? Oh, yeah, exactly. This

7:41:10

is Episode What's

7:41:11

wrong with us?

7:41:11

Why did we wait so long for this

7:41:14

one?

7:41:14

Well, just to

7:41:14

answer your question in Episode

7:41:17

numbers, it was episode 28 was

7:41:17

the Karate Kid part three and

7:41:22

this is episode 115. Well, what

7:41:22

happened was so after we did the

7:41:26

Karate Kid, Part three, we're

7:41:26

going went into season three of

7:41:30

Cobra Kai when Netflix took it

7:41:30

over. And then we were doing

7:41:34

special episodes every freaking

7:41:34

week for so long. And then

7:41:39

season four came. And then

7:41:39

season five came and we had

7:41:42

little gaps because let's not

7:41:42

forget, season three comes out.

7:41:48

Since that point in time, I

7:41:48

moved two times to Massachusetts

7:41:52

to Rhode Island. That's a lot of

7:41:52

logistics. So we had gaps, and

7:41:56

it was like, well, we're gonna

7:41:56

make time for The Next Karate

7:41:59

Kid. Now to be clear, we did the

7:41:59

next one before I moved to Rhode

7:42:02

Island, but it wasn't high on my

7:42:02

radar, because let's be honest,

7:42:07

let's call it what it is. It's

7:42:07

the stepchild to the Karate Kid

7:42:13

franchise. It does. It does.

7:42:13

Your pet Raider. Sorry.

7:42:17

That's what I'm saying. The only reason is because Macho is not if Macho?

7:42:19

Well, it

7:42:22

is not the only

7:42:22

reason the writing the absurdity

7:42:26

of the movie, Hilary Swank is

7:42:26

fine. But it has a lot of

7:42:32

issues, to say the very least.

7:42:32

So I wasn't in a hurry to go

7:42:36

back. Even when I put it off.

7:42:36

Sometimes I'm like, Okay, I'm

7:42:39

going to try this. There are

7:42:39

parts that are just hard to get

7:42:42

through. There's a lot to love.

7:42:42

And I'm more connected. Just to

7:42:46

be clear, with this movie. Now

7:42:46

having gone to Julie Pierce's

7:42:49

house, not inside, but I went

7:42:49

back and it's in Massachusetts

7:42:52

before I'm

7:42:53

right. We had a special episode where you were outside of Julie Pierce's house.

7:42:56

And I also have

7:42:56

been to where the monks were.

7:43:00

Wow. Yes, remember that this

7:43:00

movie is close to your heart at

7:43:03

this point. It's Castle Hill on

7:43:03

the crane estate in also in

7:43:06

Massachusetts. Ipswich actually

7:43:06

went there one day, didn't know

7:43:11

at the time that it was the

7:43:11

backdrop so I was walking around

7:43:15

these grounds going this is

7:43:15

really magical. And then I put

7:43:18

the movie on because we were

7:43:18

starting to explore the trailer.

7:43:22

And we were getting ready to do

7:43:22

the episode. I was getting this

7:43:25

house and I'm like, wait a

7:43:25

second it was out of body so Oh,

7:43:30

and then let's What am I

7:43:30

thinking? We met since a gym

7:43:35

true. Since a Christiansen they

7:43:35

were in the movie I met you know

7:43:41

since a jam his dojo help find

7:43:41

the students that are in some of

7:43:46

those scenes. The bull you know,

7:43:46

the bullpen, the bullpen scene

7:43:49

and whenever you call that out

7:43:49

in front of the school where

7:43:52

Michael iron sides, you know,

7:43:52

challenging kids, a lot of the

7:43:55

students from the dojo so I am

7:43:55

more connected to this movie

7:44:00

than I ever was. But it doesn't

7:44:00

help the issues, unfortunately.

7:44:05

Yeah, well, I

7:44:05

think that's a parent. Yeah, you

7:44:08

say a lot happened. Sure.

7:44:08

Episode 20. Something to Episode

7:44:12

115 something. Yes, a lot

7:44:12

happened between there. But I

7:44:15

still feel like that does

7:44:15

signify there was a lot of

7:44:18

similar some reluctance and

7:44:18

apprehension and just overall

7:44:21

delay and procrastination. On

7:44:21

the part of Let's Talk Cobra

7:44:25

Kai, think

7:44:25

that's well, I

7:44:25

don't like to procrastinate. But

7:44:27

I just wasn't feeling it. But

7:44:27

when I got in the mode, you

7:44:33

can't fake it in this business.

7:44:33

You got to have passion and

7:44:35

true. That's true, a connection

7:44:35

to something to be able to bring

7:44:39

in energy and enthusiasm to

7:44:39

listeners and viewers. And that

7:44:44

said it grew on me. Yeah, it

7:44:44

wasn't by accident that I meet

7:44:48

since a Jim true who runs

7:44:48

through Martial Arts Academy and

7:44:52

was connected to the movie

7:44:52

wasn't by accident. I wound up

7:44:55

at Castle Hill in the crane

7:44:55

estate, and was like, Wait a

7:44:58

second. And I was only 20

7:44:58

minutes away from Juliet

7:45:00

Pierce's house that really

7:45:00

invigorated me to do it. And I

7:45:05

am proud of that movie for what

7:45:05

it is and you and I and many

7:45:09

others are hopeful that this or

7:45:09

this either of these Julie

7:45:13

Pearson's is going to come and

7:45:13

join us in the Cobra Kai

7:45:17

universe. That's the one thing

7:45:17

they before the show goes off.

7:45:21

Yeah, exactly. They have to.

7:45:21

They have

7:45:24

Yeah, I mean, if

7:45:24

they don't bring back Julie

7:45:27

piers, I would think that

7:45:27

they're leaving it to open ended

7:45:31

or they're not completing.

7:45:31

They're not completing the job.

7:45:34

They've brought everybody back for crying out loud. Yeah.

7:45:37

And we're rushing

7:45:37

over this, but I know you and I

7:45:40

feel the same way. This is the

7:45:40

last time in a movie that Pat

7:45:43

Merida plays. Mr. Miyagi.

7:45:47

That is what I

7:45:47

savored when I watched this

7:45:50

movie. Yeah, I had some eye

7:45:50

rolls. Yes. But I savored

7:45:54

watching Patton Rita's final

7:45:54

performance I really did. Yeah,

7:45:56

yeah,

7:45:56

absolutely. And he's great at it there's no doubt he's amazing as usual, and

7:45:58

I almost wish there was just the

7:46:03

next credit card Part Two the

7:46:03

next credit card par three is

7:46:07

painful as it is to say and even

7:46:07

envision if we had it there just

7:46:12

be a bit more. Right now

7:46:15

though, you know what else we may have Jason? Gifts Julie Pierce does indeed

7:46:16

come on to sixth. At some

7:46:21

figures Julie Pierce action

7:46:21

figures. That'll be cool.

7:46:24

Well, if and when

7:46:24

you listen to the scene by scene

7:46:26

breakdown rerelease you're going

7:46:26

to hear mistake I admit my

7:46:30

mistakes. Okay. And this is not

7:46:30

as big as the 70 South Seas

7:46:38

track it is the South Seas but I

7:46:38

went through a spell where I

7:46:41

thought it was 70s SPIKE going

7:46:41

there years and years ago but in

7:46:46

the movie, the antagonist is

7:46:46

known as alpha elite. I heard it

7:46:56

differently when I revisited

7:46:56

this movie for notes. And I call

7:47:01

it alpha league throughout the

7:47:01

episode now alpha league You

7:47:07

even went with it because we

7:47:07

were doing it in person

7:47:13

because you know,

7:47:13

I started the question well,

7:47:17

maybe I'm wrong. Am I wrong?

7:47:17

Maybe it is awfully Yeah,

7:47:19

I think I even

7:47:19

like squashed you saying it

7:47:22

lead. Of course, it's Alpha

7:47:22

league because it's cooler. I

7:47:26

have a tendency to like yeah,

7:47:26

no, I would have done I would

7:47:28

have called it such anyway, so

7:47:28

you're gonna hear that we know

7:47:32

it's Alpha Ely. Or at least I do

7:47:32

now. So enjoy that. And I don't

7:47:36

need a ton of messages telling

7:47:36

me I got it wrong because I'm

7:47:39

here to tell you I know. Anyway,

7:47:39

so now here is the synopsis I

7:47:44

have for this episode that is

7:47:44

there online already. Episode

7:47:48

115. But this rerelease might

7:47:48

have a different synopsis, but

7:47:51

here's what I put. Jason Connell

7:47:51

and Sal Rodriguez break down the

7:47:56

not so classic movie, Han talk

7:47:56

about visiting the month

7:48:00

monastery, Mr. Miyagi waxing on

7:48:00

waxing off, and the catch and

7:48:05

release strategy. That's pretty

7:48:05

enticing. I kinda want to hear

7:48:10

this scene by scene breakdown,

7:48:13

way catch and

7:48:13

release on fish or insects

7:48:16

or whatever,

7:48:16

anything in the movie, there is

7:48:21

the whole they don't kill the

7:48:21

insect. And then Julie squash,

7:48:24

it's won and upset. Oh, yes,

7:48:24

spoiler alert. But you would

7:48:28

always told me you have a catch

7:48:28

and release strategy. And then I

7:48:31

had said to you at one point in

7:48:31

time on one of these shows, it

7:48:34

may have been this one. Does

7:48:34

that apply to women? I know it's

7:48:37

bad taste. I'm thinking of a

7:48:37

younger Sal when he was single.

7:48:41

And it was it was a joke. So I

7:48:41

kind of worked.

7:48:44

Remember the time

7:48:44

when we fell in love?

7:48:49

Yes. And I liked

7:48:49

this the only time ever put not

7:48:52

so classic movie because I gotta

7:48:52

be honest here. If I'm talking

7:48:54

about the Karate Kid got to get

7:48:54

Part Two, they get the classic

7:48:57

movie moniker, especially the

7:48:57

original Come on. And as far as

7:49:01

Mr. Miyagi waxing on wax enough,

7:49:01

he is doing that in the movie.

7:49:06

And Julio wants no part of it.

7:49:06

So I thought that was a nice

7:49:09

homage to the original. And

7:49:09

yeah, anyway. So I did I did

7:49:13

visit the monk monastery, as I

7:49:13

just pointed out, sorry.

7:49:16

There's one more thing Jason and I just realized this and that is that I do want

7:49:18

to give The Next Karate Kid

7:49:21

their respect is due because

7:49:21

they were kind of ahead of their

7:49:25

time and having a female patent

7:49:25

Rita. I mean, if you look at

7:49:31

like later on Ghostbusters had

7:49:31

the all female cast. A lot of

7:49:34

times they'll remake a movie

7:49:34

right? With the like, look, we

7:49:37

were just talking about the

7:49:37

thing. And in 20 elevens thing,

7:49:40

instead of Kurt Russell, we have

7:49:40

a female who did a great job. So

7:49:44

it's like, I feel like The Next

7:49:44

Karate Kid was kind of a ahead

7:49:47

of the curve a bit.

7:49:48

You know what I

7:49:48

gave you that? Absolutely. And

7:49:51

there are some scenes in the

7:49:51

movie that just wouldn't fly

7:49:53

today. Like Alfa elite, not

7:49:53

League. Ned is like insinuated

7:50:00

all these things coming on to

7:50:00

her being But doesn't that

7:50:03

make him more

7:50:03

creepy? Well, part of the deal

7:50:06

Yeah, but it's like the more

7:50:06

more slimy

7:50:09

more slimy but it

7:50:09

just it really was a bit rough

7:50:12

to go back and watch like wow,

7:50:12

yeah, I guess they got away with

7:50:14

this, but the year was what

7:50:14

night before. So anyway, and

7:50:18

Walton Goggins is in the movie

7:50:18

he's fantastic. He's had an

7:50:21

incredible career. And Michael

7:50:21

Ironside is a really good bad

7:50:25

guy. So there's a lot to like,

7:50:25

but there's a lot to anyway,

7:50:30

this is the synopsis from the

7:50:30

movie, the actual synopsis Mr.

7:50:36

Miyagi is back and he takes a

7:50:36

new pupil under his wing a

7:50:40

troubled adolescent girl could a

7:50:40

kind of give me a little bit

7:50:45

more there was really only one

7:50:45

sentence but I liked Mr. Back

7:50:50

like let's embrace that. They

7:50:52

should have just like put Mr. Miyagi is back, exclamation mark, and then

7:50:54

carried on.

7:50:56

So this is the

7:50:56

not so classic movie style, but

7:50:59

why don't you give us a hit list

7:50:59

of people who brought it to an

7:51:04

existence.

7:51:06

director

7:51:06

Christopher Kane, writer Robert

7:51:09

Mark Kaman characters by Mark

7:51:09

Lee cinematographer Laszlo

7:51:13

Kovacs cast Pat Morita, Hilary

7:51:13

Swank, Michael Ironside,

7:51:18

Constance towers, Chris Conrad

7:51:18

Michael Cavalier, Walton Goggins

7:51:23

Composer Bill Conti, producer

7:51:23

Jerry Weintraub,

7:51:28

so you got Some of the big players they have Weintraub Conte, of course

7:51:30

Merida came in characters didn't

7:51:34

write the script. He's not

7:51:34

taking any credit for that. And

7:51:39

of course, Goggins and others

7:51:39

constant towers is really good

7:51:42

as her aunt, the Pierce house,

7:51:42

the piers Housel, who winds

7:51:45

up in receipt Oh,

7:51:45

not around her grandmother, her

7:51:47

grandmother wise have been receiving we never get to see her

7:51:49

grandmother gotta

7:51:49

get shipped off to a receipt and

7:51:51

we never care. Yeah, not her

7:51:51

odd. But yeah, that's it. We do

7:51:56

a deep dive, we give respect to

7:51:56

the movie, when it deserves it.

7:52:00

We are more connected to it. And

7:52:00

we really truly hope at some

7:52:04

point in time, this becomes part

7:52:04

of Cobra Kai. If you bring

7:52:09

Julian you've connected the

7:52:09

dots. If you don't, it's always

7:52:12

this outlier. So, I mean, I'd

7:52:12

love to see like, Goggins or

7:52:17

Cavalier someone show up in it

7:52:17

in a random scene or the love

7:52:21

interest with Julie if you're

7:52:21

gonna get Julie or not, but

7:52:24

bring in somebody else like a

7:52:24

Friday, Fernandez sprinkle them

7:52:27

in, but they've never had any

7:52:27

any connection at this point in

7:52:31

time. But as season six is the

7:52:31

final season of Cobra Kai, this

7:52:35

is the chance this is that operator. Well,

7:52:38

hang on. Here we

7:52:38

are going on and on about Julie

7:52:40

piers. But yeah, what if Michael

7:52:40

Ironside pops out?

7:52:43

Ironside?

7:52:45

What if alpha

7:52:45

elite tries to do a hostile

7:52:48

takeover a Cobra Kai Imagine that. Oh

7:52:50

my gosh, let's do

7:52:50

it. Ironside wasn't Top Gun.

7:52:54

Whatever that means, but you

7:52:54

gotta love it. Wasn't in Robocop

7:52:58

two. I believe he was he's

7:52:58

insane. He was enrolled so many

7:53:00

movies. Yeah, he's great. Great.

7:53:00

Anyway, that's all we got. I

7:53:03

hope you enjoy this because

7:53:03

there is. Yeah, there's a lot to

7:53:07

bite off. It's almost two hours

7:53:07

of fun scene by scene breakdown.

7:53:11

And it completes our four pack.

7:53:11

It's a trilogy. You

7:53:15

know what the

7:53:15

four pack? No, you know what,

7:53:17

Jason? I almost feel like for

7:53:17

the listener for our fans. This

7:53:21

is actually let me look, we're

7:53:21

115 episodes in versus only 20

7:53:28

Something episodes in. So I kind

7:53:28

of feel like maybe we might even

7:53:32

do a better job. Even though we

7:53:32

may not love the movie as much.

7:53:35

We may do a better job of a

7:53:35

scene by scene breakdown of this

7:53:39

movie than maybe all the others.

7:53:39

Wow. That's a bold statement.

7:53:43

You decide listeners,

7:53:44

you guys, I just looked this up, by the way. Yeah, Michael Ironside was going

7:53:46

to be Robocop

7:53:49

but wasn't Whoa,

7:53:49

he was going to be Peter Wellers

7:53:52

character. I

7:53:53

thought I quickly

7:53:53

looked this up. So we'll have to

7:53:55

do a deep dive on that later. That would

7:53:56

be interesting, because he's a good guy. Robocop is a good guy officially.

7:53:58

Exactly. Uphold

7:53:58

the law protect the innocent. So

7:54:04

without further ado, please

7:54:04

enjoy

7:54:07

The Next Karate Kid.

7:54:10

All right, sound.

7:54:10

We are in studio. Together.

7:54:16

Yeah. It's

7:54:16

pretty amazing. It's almost surreal.

7:54:19

It is very surreal. So those watching on YouTube Live one frame one box.

7:54:20

Can

7:54:23

you believe this?

7:54:24

We're in the same room. Literally.

7:54:26

We have not been

7:54:26

in the same room recording since

7:54:29

November 18 2019. Pre pandemic,

7:54:29

we at that point in time

7:54:35

recorded season two, episode

7:54:35

nine and episode 10 of Cobra

7:54:39

Kai.

7:54:40

Well, that's because Jason, I started distancing before distancing was

7:54:42

even a thing I

7:54:44

was social

7:54:44

distancing way back. But here we

7:54:47

are. And then we kind of got to

7:54:47

our virtual recordings. And that

7:54:52

was April 11 2020. So we're in

7:54:52

the midst of the pandemic. We

7:54:56

did the Karate Kid part to that

7:54:56

time. And then that kind of

7:54:59

started this whole new thing. So

7:54:59

I am in Los Angeles for three

7:55:03

weeks, or at least in California

7:55:03

for three weeks la for two. And

7:55:06

we wanted to do this particular

7:55:06

recording because we are doing

7:55:11

The Next Karate Kid 1994 scene

7:55:11

by scene breakdown.

7:55:16

Yeah, this is pretty big. Because this is not only you being here, us being in

7:55:18

the same room, but a very, very

7:55:22

special episode and a lot has

7:55:22

led to this right. I feel like

7:55:26

this. At this point. I almost

7:55:26

feel like this is like couple

7:55:29

years in the making.

7:55:30

Totally. Yeah,

7:55:30

let's just say that I put it off

7:55:32

and I put it off and I put it

7:55:32

off. Yeah, we did the trailer.

7:55:34

We broke down the trailer

7:55:34

recently. I went to the house

7:55:37

Julie's house, Julie son's house

7:55:37

in the movie, Julie Pierce. And

7:55:41

here we are breaking the movie

7:55:41

down. I will say this is the

7:55:45

worst movie. I've done a scene

7:55:45

by scene breakdown. But it's not

7:55:48

because we don't love it. It's

7:55:48

just it's not a well built

7:55:52

movie. And that's obvious. But

7:55:52

we're trying to find little,

7:55:56

little things to love and hang

7:55:56

our hat on because Julie pairs

7:56:00

very well could pop up in the

7:56:00

Cobra Kai universe.

7:56:03

Yeah, I mean, at

7:56:03

this point, it's hard to tell

7:56:06

what's going to happen. Nobody

7:56:06

knows anything. You know, the

7:56:10

showrunners are very tight

7:56:10

lipped about everything.

7:56:12

Everybody involved in Cobra Kai

7:56:12

is very tight lipped. Yeah, we

7:56:16

don't know. Yeah, they do a

7:56:16

great job being tight lipped. I

7:56:19

mean, for us for the fans. We

7:56:19

want to know we need to know but

7:56:24

I mean, we don't know. Nobody

7:56:24

knows.

7:56:27

I have a funny

7:56:27

suspicion. Although I felt That

7:56:29

about Mike Barnes so I'm not

7:56:29

sure so I'm gonna have to look

7:56:31

over here south because the

7:56:31

cameras like way over there. But

7:56:33

yeah, we assumed Mike Barnes was

7:56:33

coming. I feel like it probably

7:56:37

set up to happen now. But Julie

7:56:37

pears in or not I feel like they

7:56:41

could even just bring her back

7:56:41

for a cameo I'd love more, but

7:56:44

it makes sense. Now if they're

7:56:44

gonna go get big names, two time

7:56:47

Oscar winner. No one's achieved

7:56:47

that in this sphere. This

7:56:51

universe. Elizabeth Shue was

7:56:51

nominated for Best Supporting

7:56:56

Actress for Leaving Las Vegas,

7:56:56

which Nick Cage won an Oscar

7:56:59

Mike figures film. But beyond

7:56:59

that no one else has these type

7:57:02

of credentials. Right? So why

7:57:02

wouldn't you go get her if she

7:57:05

wanted to be a part of it?

7:57:06

Sure. And also,

7:57:06

this movie is very special

7:57:08

because of the legacy of the

7:57:08

Miyagi verse. Yes, I kind of on

7:57:12

my last watching of this movie

7:57:12

kind of stay focused on that I

7:57:15

kind of stay focused on that

7:57:15

legacy and the connection with

7:57:19

Miyagi and Julie's grandfather

7:57:19

and Daniel that that holds that

7:57:23

will serve they're all related.

7:57:25

Yeah, by the way.

7:57:25

We're in orange Dog music

7:57:28

7:58:16

here.

7:58:17

Oh, that's right

7:58:17

I'm so sorry Mr. Miyagi.

7:58:19

It's not just

7:58:19

Jason and I today as if that

7:58:22

wasn't enough Yes. We have right

7:58:22

here he is in frame Yes. Oh

7:58:25

yeah. He is Mr. Miyagi action

7:58:25

figure shot complete with bonsai

7:58:29

tree made by NACA we're not

7:58:29

endorsed by NACA yet but here he

7:58:32

is. Here is Mr. Miyagi he is

7:58:32

with us in spirit and in action

7:58:37

figure form. Yeah, with bonsai

7:58:37

love it with lawn and

7:58:40

Chopsticks. Chopsticks for

7:58:40

catching the fly that's buzzing

7:58:42

our air is

7:58:43

a fly the snuck

7:58:43

in the studio and Mr. Miyagi

7:58:45

sleeping on the job but it was

7:58:45

really Danielson that caught the

7:58:48

fly the first time it was began

7:58:48

to look so we are breaking down

7:58:52

as I said earlier, The Next

7:58:52

Karate Kid 1994 also known as

7:58:57

online The Karate Kid, Part Four

7:58:57

right whatever

7:59:02

I don't like when people call it that because that's not the official name

7:59:03

right

7:59:05

now it's not an

7:59:05

early titles for this film. Were

7:59:07

Young Americans and kids in

7:59:07

America where the kids in

7:59:11

America

7:59:12

well yeah, like

7:59:12

wait what? That's an interesting

7:59:15

release. Seriously?

7:59:16

Seriously saw

7:59:16

this so you know I don't know

7:59:18

without choice very odd. Now the

7:59:18

synopsis for this credit good

7:59:24

film, Mr. Miyagi is back. And he

7:59:24

takes a new pupil under his

7:59:28

wing, a troubled adolescent

7:59:28

girl. That's it. That's your

7:59:32

synopsis? Wait, I

7:59:32

just realized we might be getting a Julie Pierce action figure. Oh my gosh, look

7:59:34

at hanging out with Miyagi.

7:59:38

So, really

7:59:38

quickly to go over what we

7:59:41

always do the IMDb Rating. I'm

7:59:41

going to move quick. 4.5 on

7:59:46

IMDb. Wow. Wow, not great. Yeah.

7:59:46

7% on Rotten Tomatoes. The

7:59:51

tomato meter is 7%.

7:59:55

What's worse,

7:59:55

Tommy, we saw the room. Is that

7:59:58

what that's probably

7:59:59

more because

7:59:59

people love it. This was

8:00:01

released September 9 99. Before

8:00:01

I saw the trailer and ran the

8:00:06

other way. Honestly, true story.

8:00:06

So that happened. Columbia

8:00:10

Pictures put it out the US

8:00:10

gross. Approximately $8.9

8:00:15

million did not even cover its

8:00:15

cost and they did not make a

8:00:19

Next Karate Kid Part Two or part

8:00:19

three.

8:00:22

Well, Jason, you mentioned the trailer. You know, Jason, I recently covered the

8:00:23

actual trailer. And both of us

8:00:27

agreed anyway that the trailer

8:00:27

does not do the movie justice.

8:00:30

Like the movie is better than

8:00:30

the trailer. If you want to go

8:00:32

back and listen to our episode,

8:00:32

we'll recover the trailer if you

8:00:35

want if you care, too. I mean,

8:00:35

it's just pretty. I mean, at

8:00:38

this point, if they're listening to us cover the movie too. They care about the trailer. I

8:00:39

probably already heard that episode A Okay, hopefully. So

8:00:43

just to give you some context, those are a lot of numbers I threw at you. Let's go

8:00:45

back in time. The original The

8:00:48

Karate Kid. IMDb Rating 7.2 88%

8:00:48

on Rotten Tomatoes, credit card,

8:00:55

part two. IMDb Rating 6.0 42% on

8:00:55

Rotten Tomatoes, the Karate Kid

8:01:01

part three. You see a trend

8:01:01

here? The Karate Kid Part Three

8:01:05

IMDb Rating 5.2 15% on Rotten

8:01:05

Tomatoes. It kept going that

8:01:11

way, folks. Now the reboot,

8:01:11

which I don't have that

8:01:14

information with us. Well, I'm

8:01:14

with a Jackie Chan and Smith.

8:01:17

I'm sure it was an uptick,

8:01:17

right. Yeah, a Cobra Kai then

8:01:20

sets the bar up there with a

8:01:20

karate kid. It's hitting on all

8:01:23

cylinders on IMDb. And so yeah,

8:01:23

they just kept going down and

8:01:28

wineshop finally threw in the

8:01:28

towel on the sequels.

8:01:31

Well, I'm

8:01:31

constantly surprised when I hear

8:01:34

every little news clip or

8:01:34

headline. It appears that the

8:01:37

reboot was well received.

8:01:38

Yeah, it was and they didn't make another one which was shocking to me. They

8:01:40

could have easily tapped in part

8:01:43

two parts. Maybe Jackie Chan

8:01:43

didn't want to I don't know,

8:01:45

because that was still 2010

8:01:45

Yeah, it took a long time for

8:01:48

Cobra Kai then to take off after

8:01:48

that year. Now, this movie did

8:01:52

win an award. It won an award

8:01:52

winner of stinker award, and

8:01:57

it's the sequel nobody was

8:01:57

clamoring for and that went to

8:01:59

Jerry Weintraub. So he made a

8:01:59

fistful of money sell on karate

8:02:04

kid but this one was not one of

8:02:04

those.

8:02:07

Yeah, so it wasn't like they were just in it for the money because there was

8:02:09

no oh,

8:02:10

he probably thought I owe it to patent right. You know, he figures all

8:02:12

things Karate Kid. They've got a

8:02:16

great talent. They got a young

8:02:16

Hilary Swank, but they just fell

8:02:20

short. So of course, Weintraub

8:02:20

was back as producer John T.

8:02:24

Appleton was originally slated

8:02:24

to direct but dropped out in

8:02:28

order to make eight seconds also

8:02:28

came out 94 started Luke Perry's

8:02:32

Lane frost really good movie,

8:02:32

but it would have been a better

8:02:36

movie with Appleton at the helm.

8:02:39

That's all I'm saying. Well, would that have changed the writing I think

8:02:43

it would have had

8:02:43

impact all the way down. If he's

8:02:46

on board maybe came in we don't

8:02:46

know the trickle effect of that

8:02:49

if it happened to disrespect the

8:02:49

director

8:02:52

away and not and I was gonna say not to disrespect the writer because

8:02:54

there's some good lines in here.

8:02:56

There are some good lines in

8:02:57

here. Right. And

8:02:57

just to quickly on, the director

8:03:00

was Christopher Kane. He did

8:03:00

other movies I think like young

8:03:03

guns and some other films we

8:03:03

talked about on the trailer

8:03:05

episode. The writer was Robert

8:03:05

Mark Kaman characters only.

8:03:09

Yeah, characters only. It was

8:03:09

actually Mark Lee, who wrote the

8:03:13

script and then was composed by

8:03:13

Bill Conti. And you can hear it

8:03:17

in this movie. It's so I had

8:03:17

some of the Dream Team, but not

8:03:20

all of the Dream Team.

8:03:22

Wait, hang on. I think it's a little bit misleading because the

8:03:23

characters are by Robert Mark

8:03:25

Heyman the characters meaning

8:03:25

Miyagi, not Julie Pierce.

8:03:28

Miyagi. Yes,

8:03:28

that's the only one that would

8:03:31

have come out of the original

8:03:31

right here. Here he is. All

8:03:33

right. Yes, again, folks. And

8:03:33

now the cast Pat Marita, he's

8:03:37

back to reprise his role as Mr.

8:03:37

Miyagi Of course, Hillary Swank

8:03:41

is Julie piers she would go on

8:03:41

to do movies like Boys Don't Cry

8:03:44

Million Dollar Baby back to back

8:03:44

Oscars, their freedom fighters

8:03:48

PS I love you and many, many

8:03:48

other things. She's fantastic.

8:03:52

Then there's Dugan Michael

8:03:52

Ironside, Top Gun. Total Recall

8:03:56

Starship Troopers. He always

8:03:56

plays a good kind of jerk. You

8:04:00

know, jerky roll. Bad Guy.

8:04:00

Louisa constant towers. She was

8:04:06

on tons of shows and movies

8:04:06

General Hospital. She had a long

8:04:09

run on so you may recognize her

8:04:09

if your general hospital fan.

8:04:13

Chris Conrad plays Eric Michael

8:04:13

Cavalera. He plays Ned really

8:04:18

good as a jerk and he doesn't he

8:04:19

does a good job. I want to say later on. I'm gonna say how much I hate this

8:04:21

guy.

8:04:22

I mean, the character. He's good.

8:04:24

I mean, the character, not the.

8:04:25

And then Walton

8:04:25

Goggins plays Charlie and he's

8:04:29

had a great career. He's in

8:04:29

Django Unchained, The Hateful

8:04:32

Eight justified TV show vice

8:04:32

principals, TV show. Love him. I

8:04:36

was shocked when I went back and

8:04:36

watch this movie. For the first

8:04:38

time. I was like, Oh, my gosh, I

8:04:38

know him. Yes. So he popped, but

8:04:41

he's barely in this movie. Line

8:04:41

while rule. So that sets the

8:04:46

stage. And now so we can go into

8:04:46

our scene by scene breakdown if

8:04:51

you're ready.

8:04:53

Yeah, and I'm

8:04:53

pretty excited actually. Because

8:04:55

again, this was a long time

8:04:55

coming a long time coming. I

8:04:58

mean, we've been waiting for

8:04:58

this. I know our listeners and

8:05:00

viewers have been waiting for

8:05:00

this. And here we are.

8:05:03

All right. So we

8:05:03

open at Fort Myer in Arlington

8:05:07

Virginia with the Washington

8:05:07

Monument in the background so

8:05:11

I've been to DC several times

8:05:11

never this particular spot but

8:05:14

you see that monument very

8:05:14

authentic. And so it's a bit of

8:05:18

a celebration here. Yeah.

8:05:18

Tapping it so do you know what's

8:05:21

going on?

8:05:22

Well, at first you think maybe it's Fourth of July or something patriotic

8:05:23

military happening.

8:05:27

Yeah, the President is honoring the Japanese American soldiers and

8:05:29

of them of that group. Que Suki

8:05:34

Miyagi is honored along with

8:05:34

Louisa Pierce and her passed

8:05:39

away husband she's a widow now

8:05:39

Jack Pierce and Jack Pierce and

8:05:43

Miyagi were in the war together

8:05:43

and had this super bond helped

8:05:47

each other through lots of

8:05:47

things save each other's lives

8:05:49

and all this all that we don't

8:05:49

know him we just see a photo and

8:05:52

a super young photo of pappelina

8:05:54

What great photo I like a

8:05:56

photo Yeah, whatever they

8:05:58

think that was really him

8:05:59

It looked so much

8:05:59

like his face like someone could

8:06:01

have altered it. You know, it

8:06:01

was really really good stuff was

8:06:05

a great photo but also we don't know when Jack Pierce died. We don't have that

8:06:08

time. Okay? We've

8:06:08

talked about this in the past so

8:06:11

they called him Keisuke right

8:06:11

out of the gate. Yeah, this guy

8:06:15

honors him and then he goes up

8:06:15

to accept this award. Now we

8:06:18

know him from the original as

8:06:18

near Yoshi Nari. Well, not the

8:06:23

original sorry, the original

8:06:23

it's just Mr. Miyagi. Yeah. And

8:06:26

then there's the key chain the

8:06:26

car, the car key the dog had

8:06:29

that had Hideo on it? Yeah, we

8:06:29

only know him as Mr. Miyagi, the

8:06:32

sequel and the TV show Cobra Kai

8:06:32

he is narrow Yoshi Yagi that we

8:06:38

know. So I don't know where they

8:06:38

came up with this Keisuke? I

8:06:42

don't know why they wrote

8:06:42

something in that wasn't there.

8:06:45

So that's a little bit

8:06:45

confusing. And I was also thrown

8:06:48

off a little bit taken aback

8:06:48

that there was no speech from

8:06:51

Mr. Miyagi. It's like he walks

8:06:51

up there with Louisa, and then

8:06:54

we cut out, I would have loved

8:06:54

to seeing him give some sort of

8:06:58

wonderful speech.

8:06:59

I'm gonna say this, and I'll just say this once, this opening scene with

8:07:00

this ceremony. I thought it was

8:07:05

fine, but I don't think they

8:07:05

should have opened with it. I

8:07:08

think they should have moved it.

8:07:08

Maybe put it along later. That's

8:07:10

a good point. That's what I think

8:07:11

I liked it. I

8:07:11

liked the pageantry and the

8:07:14

honoring the Japanese American

8:07:14

soldiers. But again, I wanted to

8:07:16

speech and I don't know why they

8:07:16

called him something else.

8:07:18

That's my

8:07:19

issues. Oh, by

8:07:19

the way, that speaker who

8:07:21

introduces him, he's a he looks

8:07:21

really senator. Oh, thank you.

8:07:24

Well, yeah, I think it was a

8:07:24

Hawaiian Senator, I believe. So

8:07:28

we dissolve into

8:07:28

Boston, shout out to my new

8:07:28

now hometown. And we're really in

8:07:31

259 Hyde Avenue. Newton,

8:07:37

Massachusetts, is the house to

8:07:37

pierce household, which I was at

8:07:41

most recently. And it's a

8:07:41

beautiful white house in the

8:07:45

movie. It's been painted, it

8:07:45

looks different. Now. It's been

8:07:48

updated. But the home is the

8:07:48

same way. Itis still white.

8:07:51

Well, it has white, but it's like another color. It's like a beautiful blue. Like it's been a

8:07:53

long time. So they gotta kind of

8:07:56

speed things up. But they also

8:07:56

pulled this driveway on the left

8:07:59

side of the house, which that's

8:07:59

not there anymore. Now that's

8:08:02

been like sequestered by the

8:08:02

neighbor. Because he just pulls

8:08:05

up right to the left. It's like,

8:08:05

I don't remember seeing that. So

8:08:07

some little things have changed

8:08:07

in the last 30 plus years.

8:08:10

Well, later on, I'm gonna ask you about the window where they were dancing

8:08:11

because I like still there.

8:08:13

Okay,

8:08:14

parlor is there

8:08:14

and I sat right in front of it.

8:08:17

But so it is odd to me that

8:08:17

Miyagi comes back to Boston with

8:08:22

Louisa and her car like so they

8:08:22

go mate, and Virginia hadn't

8:08:25

seen each other in a while. And

8:08:25

now he's coming back to Boston.

8:08:28

And he doesn't even know about

8:08:28

the troubled adolescent girl

8:08:32

yet.

8:08:33

No, but you know

8:08:33

what? I was today, years old

8:08:35

when I realized that the

8:08:35

military ceremony with the

8:08:38

honors was Virginia. Then they

8:08:38

go to Boston. Yeah, I just

8:08:40

assumed who was in Boston and

8:08:41

I made that drive

8:08:41

before. And that's like a six

8:08:44

hour drive. So it's like, yeah,

8:08:44

I'll go back with you, Louisa.

8:08:47

I'll drive you home. Yeah, it's

8:08:47

it's kind of weird. I don't know

8:08:50

why that's happening. We also

8:08:50

learn that Miyagi is a rice man

8:08:54

hates potatoes. Yeah, you know,

8:08:54

I'm Irish. So I love those

8:08:58

potatoes. But I also love rice. So

8:09:00

I like them both.

8:09:00

I like them both. That's a tough

8:09:03

one.

8:09:03

So now we meet

8:09:03

the angsty teen. Julie Pierce.

8:09:08

She comes in quite an entrance.

8:09:08

Yeah, right away. Yeah. And we

8:09:13

also get the obligatory

8:09:13

exposition about Julie's parents

8:09:17

died in a car accident, and she

8:09:17

just is mad at everybody in

8:09:20

particular, her grandmother.

8:09:20

Yeah.

8:09:23

I don't know why

8:09:23

we don't know why she seems to

8:09:26

harbor anger towards the grandmother.

8:09:27

Now they had to

8:09:27

make your uptight, upset and

8:09:31

Miyagi had to step in and write

8:09:31

because their grandmother calls

8:09:34

her Susan, what was her mother's

8:09:34

name? And she takes that and

8:09:37

start like, I'm not Susan. She's

8:09:37

dead. It was. It's a bit over

8:09:40

the top right there. I could

8:09:40

tell like it's a little

8:09:43

melodramatic. This movie's got

8:09:43

issues, but I love Mr. Miyagi.

8:09:47

I'm going on this right.

8:09:48

Yeah. And you know, he's gonna save the day. You see, you see a trouble and

8:09:50

you know that he's gonna save

8:09:53

the day.

8:09:53

But then what does Miyagi have to say?

8:09:56

Anybody who lose

8:09:56

parent have much grief? Grief,

8:10:00

trapped in hot, become big

8:10:00

anger. And he's right. You know,

8:10:04

some people say, a lot of people

8:10:04

have said the root of anger is

8:10:08

pain or sadness. Yeah.

8:10:10

And she's a kid.

8:10:10

She doesn't even have her wits

8:10:12

about her. Her brain is still

8:10:12

evolving her mind are all of the

8:10:16

emotions and yeah, she's just

8:10:16

harboring a lot of anger.

8:10:19

Was she playing

8:10:19

1617 here while she churns? I

8:10:22

thought 16 In the

8:10:22

movie, so like 15

8:10:25

Okay, I assume

8:10:25

okay, but she's actually 20 I

8:10:27

think Oh, yeah. Yeah. Older for

8:10:27

sure. Yes.

8:10:30

So based on this

8:10:30

one meeting with Julie Miyagi

8:10:33

has already hatched a plan. And

8:10:33

Sal, he's putting Louisa to

8:10:38

work. Danielson style

8:10:41

suggest Louisa

8:10:41

Sun water flowers.

8:10:44

What do you mean flowers?

8:10:46

Not here flower

8:10:46

flower in Miyagi garden?

8:10:49

California.

8:10:50

Yeah, so he is

8:10:50

shipping Louisa off without even

8:10:53

talking about it. He's got a

8:10:53

plan. Now do you think Luis is

8:10:57

gonna go to work at Mr. Miyagi

8:10:57

little trees or what's going on

8:11:00

here?

8:11:00

You know, after

8:11:00

having seen New England? Yes.

8:11:03

And after having seen receita

8:11:03

Yes. I wouldn't necessarily call

8:11:08

going to receipt from no. Yeah,

8:11:11

she's in a good

8:11:11

place. Yes. A beautiful no

8:11:14

Miyagi just needs to stay there.

8:11:14

He needs exactly. Yeah. Louisa

8:11:16

could have stayed. Yeah. But

8:11:16

he's like, no, no, we gotta get

8:11:19

you out of this. No,

8:11:20

you know what this was Jason. I got to be honest, transparency is kind of

8:11:21

annoyed me this, I think is the

8:11:24

is the tradition here of the

8:11:24

Karate Kid. Absolutely. Just to

8:11:29

go trying to get rid of people.

8:11:29

Just get rid of them. Yeah.

8:11:31

Especially if it's a woman like

8:11:31

some sort of matriarchal figure

8:11:33

Daniel's

8:11:34

mother. Yep,

8:11:34

there we go. You're absolutely

8:11:36

right. Ali and part two. Yes. We

8:11:36

don't even see Ali.

8:11:40

Yeah, and from a credit cut to.

8:11:42

Yeah, we don't

8:11:42

see Kimiko because she's out

8:11:44

dawn.

8:11:45

Exactly. It's just like get about a hair.

8:11:48

Man. Yeah. Danya

8:11:48

you're gone. And the sad thing

8:11:51

is we never see or hear from her

8:11:51

again. She Okay, she calls once

8:11:55

so little call but not with is

8:11:55

she getting harassed by crease

8:11:59

in receita? Yeah, what is

8:11:59

happening in receita? Yeah,

8:12:02

Barnes and company are harassing

8:12:02

her. So now we see Julie

8:12:06

breaking into school. By the

8:12:06

way, it's Brookline high school,

8:12:10

but I know they took some and

8:12:10

cheated some of Tufts University

8:12:13

which I've also gone by I've not

8:12:13

yet visited Brooklyn high

8:12:15

school, but it does come up a

8:12:15

lot brick line in the movie. And

8:12:19

she's got food for an injured

8:12:19

Hawk named Angel. And Shawn. Oh,

8:12:25

please,

8:12:25

Hawk. Hello,

8:12:25

Hawk. Yeah, it took my third

8:12:30

viewing recently to realize

8:12:30

Hello. Do you think Cobra Kai

8:12:33

went back and grabbed it means

8:12:33

something right about that

8:12:36

sounds good point.

8:12:37

Good point. But

8:12:37

maybe I'm grasping if there's nothing here I don't

8:12:39

know what my

8:12:39

question sounds. Why is the bird

8:12:41

here at school? Why not just

8:12:41

take it home?

8:12:44

Well, because there was the enclosure there was the guy used to keep pigeons

8:12:46

there. Yeah. And we learned that

8:12:49

plus

8:12:49

they want her at

8:12:49

school for these various

8:12:51

reasons. Yeah, for the Alpha

8:12:51

leads. So now Brookline PD

8:12:57

arrives because she breaks into

8:12:57

school triggers and alarm and

8:13:00

this is like Beverly Hills Cop

8:13:00

type music's

8:13:03

playing. Yeah, these cops were kind of bungling. Yeah. The score plays

8:13:07

and Julie

8:13:07

escapes. Yeah, and they're

8:13:09

bumbling they can't catch her

8:13:09

you know we've all seen these

8:13:12

scenes before and it's a bit hokey

8:13:14

these were not

8:13:14

track and field stars these cops

8:13:16

no no. So she

8:13:16

heads home and learns of Miyagi

8:13:20

is plants right and probably not

8:13:20

loving it either. But everyone

8:13:24

goes along Miyagi plants. No one

8:13:24

stands up to him they have great

8:13:27

ideas because next thing we know

8:13:27

we're headed to Boston Logan

8:13:30

where I flew out of to come on

8:13:30

this beautiful trip miss and

8:13:33

Miyagi and Julie see Luisa off.

8:13:33

Like you just said though, it's

8:13:38

Lucia from the credit card, part

8:13:38

three with Uncle Louie and Sally

8:13:42

Miyagi offers to make Julie a

8:13:42

special birthday meal. Like,

8:13:47

what's going on here? Sounds

8:13:49

good to me.

8:13:50

I guess he did

8:13:50

bake Daniel a cake and the

8:13:52

original Karate Kid. So he is

8:13:52

known to do these big.

8:13:56

Freshly caught

8:13:56

fish about them. Yeah.

8:13:58

So he's trying to

8:13:58

bond with her right away and

8:14:00

maybe it's good for Julie to

8:14:00

hear it from a different voice.

8:14:04

Not the grandmother. Like this

8:14:04

new guy that's got some wisdom.

8:14:08

But what does Miyagi say?

8:14:10

Miyagi pick you

8:14:10

appear this afternoon. Okay,

8:14:12

Julie son, sayonara, yeah, a

8:14:14

lot of signers in

8:14:14

this movie. And that's because

8:14:17

he takes her right to school

8:14:17

where I think she's probably

8:14:19

been skipping and missing and

8:14:19

doing certain things. So he's

8:14:22

dropping her off and wants to

8:14:22

pick her up in the same spot. He

8:14:24

wants Julie to get back into

8:14:24

school set a good pattern for

8:14:27

herself.

8:14:28

No, no, if you're

8:14:28

a young person stay in school.

8:14:31

Trust Yeah.

8:14:32

truant officers

8:14:32

will pick you up. Oh, yeah. So

8:14:35

now we're at school and there's

8:14:35

a montage with the song moving

8:14:39

on up what by in people and not

8:14:39

to be mistaken. It's not the

8:14:42

Jeffersons soundtrack or theme

8:14:42

song. Yeah. How's that? Go?

8:14:46

Oh, hey, moving

8:14:46

on up. Moving on up to the side.

8:14:50

Do a D Lux apartment in the sky

8:14:50

high.

8:14:54

I wish it was

8:14:54

that song. So we learned that

8:14:57

Julie, we learned right away

8:14:57

that she's an outcast, a loner,

8:15:01

and then bad boy Alpha League

8:15:01

member, Ned sponsor and saw this

8:15:06

is a very uncomfortable thing.

8:15:09

Well, I think

8:15:09

unfortunately, during a lot of

8:15:11

the interactions with Julie

8:15:11

Pierce and the Alpha elites, I

8:15:15

think anytime you have like a

8:15:15

group of guys or any guy like

8:15:18

threatening a woman, yeah,

8:15:18

there's always that undertone.

8:15:21

That creepy rapey undertone is

8:15:21

always Yeah, it's

8:15:25

like physical

8:15:25

ride aways grab. Yeah, and then

8:15:27

there's the sexual advances.

8:15:27

It's like this is not okay. It

8:15:31

wasn't okay then but it's

8:15:31

especially not okay now not

8:15:34

being tolerated. But Daniel

8:15:34

never dealt with this being a

8:15:38

male he dealt with being

8:15:38

bullied, but this is far worse

8:15:41

than that.

8:15:41

Yeah, that's the burden that women have to carry with them. It's like if you and

8:15:43

I walk out here and get our ass

8:15:46

kicked that's probably just what's going to happen we'll just get our ass kicked. Not

8:15:48

gonna happen. We're not gonna

8:15:50

have what Jason martial artists

8:15:50

but the point is, it's going to

8:15:53

end the exact most likely Yeah,

8:15:55

this is goes on.

8:15:55

I didn't notice because I didn't

8:15:57

see this as a kid. But right

8:15:57

away watching as an adult, like,

8:16:01

oh my gosh, he just wouldn't

8:16:01

probably put this in the movie.

8:16:04

Yeah, um, well, no. It could be

8:16:04

a woman that's pressuring her

8:16:08

and probably should have been a

8:16:08

Women's League of some sort. We

8:16:12

should have had that. Okay,

8:16:13

interesting twist. Otherwise, yeah, there is the rapey vibe and the rapey

8:16:14

vibe, though. Makes you hate

8:16:17

these guys. These guys are

8:16:17

terrible. Terrible.

8:16:20

Yeah. If they

8:16:20

wanted to make worse people than

8:16:22

Cobra Kai, they were successful

8:16:22

in that. Yeah. Yeah, absolutely.

8:16:26

Now Sal, please describe for

8:16:26

everyone I'm the Alpha league

8:16:30

attire.

8:16:31

I can't say a

8:16:31

word, much dissimilar attire.

8:16:35

This is your outfit. Well,

8:16:35

because you know, I was class at

8:16:38

91 High School. This was 94. So

8:16:38

this wasn't too far at all. I

8:16:42

recognize a lot of styles. So

8:16:42

they had the black T shirt

8:16:46

tucked in with a black belt into

8:16:46

jeans. Yeah. And then black shoe

8:16:49

Reeboks or so yeah, like black

8:16:49

Reeboks, I was looking for

8:16:51

tactical boots. I was thinking

8:16:51

they should have had tactile Dre

8:16:54

and I don't think that was

8:16:55

the tucking in

8:16:55

and really says this is the 90s

8:16:59

Yeah,

8:16:59

and also says

8:16:59

like we are one group. Yeah,

8:17:01

we're one. Yeah, they're all and

8:17:01

they have some logo. Shoulders.

8:17:05

Yes. Well, in the very

8:17:05

beginning, these guys look like

8:17:08

rogue hall monitors. Like these

8:17:08

guys are like salutely. They're

8:17:11

sanctioned by the school. But

8:17:11

you could tell that these guys

8:17:14

are like taking this way too seriously.

8:17:16

It's like what they got not vigilantes, but what was that group of? Oh my

8:17:18

gosh, they used to patrol

8:17:21

streets, the angels and guardian

8:17:21

angel guard that's already in a

8:17:24

minds me but they're not doing

8:17:24

good. You're causing all the

8:17:28

problems? Exactly. You need the guardian

8:17:29

angels for guys with these guys

8:17:31

in check. So the leader is Colonel Dugan,

8:17:32

and of course it's played by

8:17:38

Michael Ironside. And he enters

8:17:38

and Ned claims Julie was smoking

8:17:43

because he's coming in his net

8:17:43

is harassing Julius we've just

8:17:47

described and Ned goes under the

8:17:47

bus. She was smoking pulls out

8:17:51

cigs

8:17:52

great like do you

8:17:52

think Dugan bought that? I

8:17:54

couldn't tell if Dugan really

8:17:54

believed that Julie was legit

8:17:56

smoking no

8:17:57

matter what he's

8:17:57

got proof, no nonsense. And she

8:18:00

is sent to the principal's

8:18:00

office. And it was a lot like

8:18:03

bad cop setup saying you know,

8:18:03

they come in we found this drugs

8:18:06

over here immediately.

8:18:06

Interwrite Dugan probably even

8:18:09

knew but even if it wasn't

8:18:09

smoking, what is she doing over

8:18:13

here hiding from class? Yeah,

8:18:13

right. So Dugan tells the

8:18:18

principal Harold Wilkes one more

8:18:18

mistake and Julie will be kicked

8:18:22

out. I love how do Gaines

8:18:22

telling the principal how to

8:18:25

principal, the school?

8:18:26

Well, because we don't even know what deacons official role is. But he's like

8:18:28

head of school security.

8:18:30

Somebody who is this guy? Yeah.

8:18:30

Yeah. And he's telling the

8:18:32

principal,

8:18:33

yeah, this

8:18:33

outworks. One more, she's out of

8:18:35

here. And then do again, has

8:18:35

Eric McGowan. Who's this other

8:18:40

guy's gonna be the love

8:18:40

interest? There's a little bit

8:18:42

of he's keeps looking at Julie.

8:18:42

And there's a little bit of a

8:18:45

connection there.

8:18:46

But while they're having that connection, Dugan sees. So that's what I couldn't

8:18:48

really tell what Dugan was

8:18:52

thinking yet because he saw that

8:18:52

connection, but then he has him

8:18:56

walk her like why is he doing

8:18:56

that? I couldn't understand what

8:18:58

his motives were

8:18:59

it well, this

8:18:59

whole movies discombobulated,

8:19:02

but so yeah, he has Julie walked

8:19:02

to class Class 238 He knows her

8:19:07

schedule. And Eric's gonna take

8:19:07

her and Ned also notices this

8:19:11

guy, okay. He

8:19:11

Yeah. He asked him what's going

8:19:15

on here?

8:19:15

But so I'm not

8:19:15

sure about this joke. When Eric

8:19:19

is with Julie and asked her name

8:19:19

and she replies go to hell.

8:19:23

Right and in which he responds

8:19:23

with Go to hell. That's a funny

8:19:27

name. What is it Chinese? Now?

8:19:27

I'm studying Chinese and I don't

8:19:30

even get this joke. I don't it

8:19:30

doesn't sound that's a bad joke.

8:19:35

It sounds more

8:19:35

like it could be what Arabic or

8:19:37

something? Like if you're gonna

8:19:37

make any stupid joke.

8:19:40

Yeah, terrible joke. It's terrible. So then Eric goes on and shares

8:19:43

the school is known for alpha

8:19:48

League. Now we know that these

8:19:48

guys they know about it. It's

8:19:51

made the school famous. You want

8:19:51

to be an alpha League? Why? I

8:19:54

have no idea.

8:19:56

Well, you're the kings of the school. No, we can pick this year. Yeah, you're the

8:19:57

laws on your side. You're

8:20:00

untouchable. Yeah,

8:20:01

it's Cobra Kai adjacent. Yeah,

8:20:03

it's Cobra Kai sanctioned.

8:20:05

Yeah, only thing

8:20:05

that's missing is Chris wasn't

8:20:07

in the hallways. But Johnny is a

8:20:07

cover guy. He's always at school

8:20:12

trespass trespassing. So Julie

8:20:12

ducks out in the girls room so

8:20:17

she gets away from America. I'll

8:20:17

be right back. I go the

8:20:19

restroom. And Ned checks on Eric

8:20:19

all this is happening so that's

8:20:24

like hey, you know what's going

8:20:24

on? Well then Eric goes to check

8:20:27

on Julie who is now flood the

8:20:27

restaurant right do a little

8:20:30

bitty window. And she's on the

8:20:30

roof to check on ANGEL. Yeah,

8:20:34

she's crafty. This Julie

8:20:35

Yeah. Yeah, but

8:20:35

unfortunately she is followed

8:20:38

and then they're followed

8:20:39

exactly. Yeah.

8:20:39

Well Ned's keeping a close eye

8:20:42

because you can kind of tell

8:20:42

there's this weird love triangle

8:20:45

happening percolating but we

8:20:45

don't really know what's going

8:20:48

well net is just staking his claim and doing his dominance thing. Yeah, when he

8:20:50

says she's mine right?

8:20:52

Yeah, well, because he's like, Hey, I'm going to invite you to be come

8:20:54

to the docks with me girls want

8:20:57

me and the heck is this guy?

8:20:57

Yes. But so is the hawk in this

8:21:02

movie a to give Julie a reason

8:21:02

to go to school all the time or

8:21:07

be to show that she's got a

8:21:07

caring and nurturing side is

8:21:10

that that the device here with

8:21:10

Hawk

8:21:12

No, I Angel I

8:21:12

think a spoiling our whole

8:21:15

review here. But I think the

8:21:15

Hawk is representative of her

8:21:18

herself herself. Yeah, the Hawk

8:21:18

is her

8:21:20

wounded

8:21:20

currently, and then sores later

8:21:24

on. That's it. That's a wrap

8:21:24

night America.

8:21:27

Thank you. So Oh,

8:21:27

and the Greek guy Ellen's

8:21:29

Oh yeah, we love

8:21:29

the Greek island. So now Eric

8:21:32

finds Julie and angel. He pops

8:21:32

up on the roofers threatens to

8:21:38

tell everybody about this angel.

8:21:38

And Julie threatens Eric with

8:21:43

it. It's just so silly like,

8:21:43

Well, okay, if you tell people

8:21:46

all have a bunch of pizzas

8:21:46

delivered to your house late

8:21:49

into the night, or I'll tell

8:21:49

everybody you have a social

8:21:51

disease, or I'll put sugar in

8:21:51

your gas tank, Julie slow down.

8:21:56

Well, it also I don't know if the youth of today knows about the sugar in the gas

8:21:58

tank. That's old school. That

8:22:00

was a big thing. Like if you hated somebody, you would literally take actual sugar and

8:22:02

pour it into their gas tank and

8:22:05

we just like ruin their fuel lines.

8:22:06

Some people did

8:22:06

it to motorcycles just on random

8:22:09

people. Like

8:22:10

okay, so not even

8:22:10

somebody who hated just just

8:22:12

random.

8:22:12

Yeah. So she's

8:22:12

threatening it doesn't go more

8:22:16

than that. But it's not like

8:22:16

they got up to this great start.

8:22:18

This is not like a romance or a

8:22:18

cute meet. It's not that it's

8:22:21

like whatever. So now we cut to

8:22:21

Alpha league training, very

8:22:27

Cobra Kai style hairstyle. And

8:22:27

we actually had sensei Chris

8:22:32

Jensen on the show and he was in

8:22:32

this scene. This is the same one

8:22:38

well, one of to the prom and the

8:22:38

Bull Ring sing because there's

8:22:41

tons of playing in alpha league

8:22:41

playing and alpha. He had the

8:22:44

whole describe that outfit if

8:22:44

you would, I don't remember what

8:22:47

those were. It was just the

8:22:47

tease with a grey tank tops,

8:22:51

great grey shorts, tall socks,

8:22:51

and a kneepads they all had the

8:22:56

pads listed there and then

8:22:56

they're all around learning how

8:22:59

to fight a couple of the Alpha

8:22:59

Leaguers had the black on I

8:23:02

thought and then Dugan, of

8:23:02

course, but of all these other

8:23:05

guys and Chris I was looking for

8:23:05

him. He said you could kind of

8:23:08

see the side of his face.

8:23:08

Because there's a lot and that

8:23:11

boring.

8:23:11

Yeah, yeah. Yeah,

8:23:11

cuz usually Alpha league is like

8:23:14

five guys usually. Yeah. Running

8:23:14

around the movie. Yeah, but this

8:23:17

was the there Lars like

8:23:19

all over the

8:23:19

underlings and newbies. We don't

8:23:21

even know who but what is Dugan?

8:23:21

Say? He's given a big speech to

8:23:25

everybody there and what is he say?

8:23:27

ready and able to

8:23:27

give a maximum response maximum

8:23:30

effort go to the limit now so

8:23:32

that's a far cry

8:23:32

from strike first strike hard no

8:23:35

mercy little clunky much like

8:23:35

this. You know, like, yeah,

8:23:40

maximum response, maximum

8:23:40

effort. Go to the limit. Yeah,

8:23:44

that would be

8:23:44

hard to put in stencil on your

8:23:46

dose.

8:23:47

We should do it. Let's just do it. I

8:23:48

love it. And he's

8:23:48

and he's obviously taking his

8:23:51

job as like school security a

8:23:51

bit too seriously? Way

8:23:55

serious. Yeah,

8:23:55

way series. So Dugan pulls a

8:23:58

crease, he takes everyone down,

8:23:58

including Charlie's so he starts

8:24:02

to fight his own to show them

8:24:02

how to do it. Not all the guys

8:24:05

around but kind of the you call

8:24:05

them the elite squad? The five

8:24:09

that we get to know Yeah, he's

8:24:09

like, oh, yeah, do this and he's

8:24:12

like throwing Ned down picks on

8:24:12

Charlie, which is Walton

8:24:15

Goggins? He basically a

8:24:16

grown man kicking

8:24:16

teenagers assets in the

8:24:19

principal things it's great.

8:24:19

Sure. Well, because if the

8:24:21

principal says anything, Dugan

8:24:21

will kick his ass that's Yeah,

8:24:24

exactly.

8:24:25

So So while this

8:24:25

is happening, Miyagi pulls up

8:24:28

watches. Julie not meeting

8:24:28

Miyagi watches from afar a

8:24:33

different vantage point. Eric

8:24:33

won't enter the ring. Yeah,

8:24:38

calls out McGowan McGowan's,

8:24:38

like he's in alpha League and we

8:24:42

learn why later, so hold off on

8:24:42

that, but he's not really

8:24:45

participating. He's questioning

8:24:45

things. Yeah. And we'll learn so

8:24:50

what happens when he wouldn't

8:24:50

enter the ring? Well, he slaps

8:24:54

him. Exactly. He gets it he gets

8:24:54

a shot and we'll do can provokes

8:24:58

him. Yeah. And he gets a shot.

8:24:58

Because McGowan

8:25:00

doesn't want to fight so Duke is like, Whoa, are you gonna fight out of anger

8:25:01

then it gives them a Yep. And by

8:25:03

the way, all of us have seen

8:25:03

recently the famous slap on the

8:25:07

Oscars slap. One man slapping

8:25:07

another man is a bigger insult

8:25:13

and punching another man.

8:25:15

True. Very true.

8:25:15

Well, who else saw this I just

8:25:18

said Miyagi and this is it. This

8:25:18

is like that point where he has

8:25:22

to intervene.

8:25:23

Well, this is the

8:25:23

parking lot of the all Valley

8:25:25

tote again. Yeah,

8:25:26

part two. Yeah,

8:25:26

well, it was supposed to be in

8:25:29

part one, but it got moved to

8:25:29

part two. Yeah, so he enters he

8:25:32

come in he doesn't know anybody

8:25:32

and he doesn't know where to

8:25:34

Julius. And so he comes in and

8:25:34

Dugan cleans Miyagi is

8:25:40

trespassing as a students do

8:25:40

laps. Now that's interesting,

8:25:44

sad that Miyagi is trespassing

8:25:44

because he's there you know, to

8:25:48

get not as kid but you know who

8:25:48

he's looking out after right?

8:25:52

He's a guardian in this

8:25:52

instance. So I do get a little

8:25:54

out of line with his trespassing

8:25:54

business. Any parent on premises

8:25:57

of the property is trespassing.

8:25:57

But then it goes on and shares

8:26:00

his old Okinawan story which

8:26:00

just goes over dragon's head.

8:26:03

He's got a lot of these Miyagi

8:26:03

isms or dungeon master type

8:26:07

stories. Yeah,

8:26:08

the moral of the

8:26:08

story is that the wild beast

8:26:11

will get put down.

8:26:12

Yeah, it's pretty

8:26:12

funny like okay, so foreshadow

8:26:16

there puts it out there. And

8:26:16

then Julie leaves. Miyagi never

8:26:21

shows up in the spot that she's

8:26:21

supposed to. She jumps in the

8:26:24

car with Eric and his dad,

8:26:24

remember the car?

8:26:27

It's a beautiful

8:26:27

red 72 Oldsmobile 442.

8:26:30

And he's quite proud of it. Saved from the junkyard. It looks. MIT.

8:26:34

Yeah, me. Yeah.

8:26:34

Almost. I'm surprised he even

8:26:37

has this car. Totally. Because

8:26:37

he has sort of a sad story. You

8:26:41

know, right. Yeah. That's

8:26:41

coming. That's coming. Yeah. So

8:26:43

So we learn about him. And so

8:26:43

it's almost surprising that he

8:26:45

has the car but then again,

8:26:45

that's all he has is the car.

8:26:48

Exactly. It

8:26:48

doesn't have a father. Yeah. So

8:26:51

I like how Eric takes Julie to

8:26:51

his job, right. How does she get

8:26:57

home so this is pre Uber taxi

8:26:57

nowhere inside by the way, he

8:27:01

works for

8:27:01

a train I guess she's let's take a train. That's probably what happens. And he

8:27:04

works for the

8:27:04

MBTA known as the T. It's

8:27:07

Massachusetts Bay Transportation

8:27:07

Authority. And he's a security

8:27:11

guard. Well, he doesn't do

8:27:11

anything but like walk on top of

8:27:14

the train. He chases the dogs or

8:27:14

the cases the rats away yeah,

8:27:17

chase

8:27:18

the rats. And

8:27:18

then we do what you would need

8:27:20

to do if you had the cats there

8:27:20

then he'd be out of it exactly.

8:27:22

But you do learn his backstory and like you just said father left didn't die like

8:27:24

Daniel's father. Yeah, father

8:27:28

left and we sent him money for a

8:27:28

while but then stuff and he

8:27:31

wants to be in the Air Force

8:27:31

again a Top Gun Top Gun. And

8:27:37

that's the only reason he joined

8:27:37

do guns clan was maybe there's a

8:27:42

referral here for the Academy.

8:27:44

Yeah, yeah. Yeah. Dugan was to put in the good word write some sort of letter

8:27:46

of recommendation. Yeah.

8:27:49

So now Julie son

8:27:49

gets home somehow. I don't know

8:27:54

how maybe it was a train. Maybe

8:27:54

she walked and Miyagi ends a

8:27:58

phone call, which I believe he

8:27:58

was talking to Louisa son. Okay,

8:28:03

I believe and she walks us Would

8:28:03

he be talking? Yeah. And Daniel.

8:28:09

Okay. Yeah, that would have been

8:28:09

great that they would have split

8:28:12

screen

8:28:13

and

8:28:13

hey, are Daniels

8:28:13

mom. Yeah. So Julie walks in

8:28:17

right to her bedroom slams the

8:28:17

door like all teens. Yes. And

8:28:20

she's changing. Yep. And so this

8:28:20

is a sitcom moment like three's

8:28:24

companies

8:28:25

Yeah, this is where we start to get in sort of a sitcom II atmosphere because

8:28:27

then we get into like the nylons

8:28:31

hanging in the medicine cabinet.

8:28:31

Oh, yeah. It gets a little sick

8:28:35

CAMI

8:28:35

here. It does and

8:28:35

this is the one Daniel

8:28:39

reference. So basically, Miyagi

8:28:39

opens the door like Julie's on

8:28:43

and she's changing you don't see

8:28:43

anything but she's definitely

8:28:46

got a bra on or sports bra or

8:28:46

something that she's changing.

8:28:49

And she yells at him and he's

8:28:49

red in the face super

8:28:52

embarrassed because he's never dealt with this

8:28:54

well also I wouldn't have thought she'd be changing because she had just

8:28:55

walked in there. That was a real

8:28:57

quick It was fast quickly went

8:28:57

into champion she has

8:28:59

popped every

8:28:59

button Yeah. Yeah, what does

8:29:02

Miyagi say because this is the

8:29:02

one and only reference to

8:29:06

Danielson.

8:29:07

Yeah, believe me

8:29:07

any Machiel fan or LORUSSO fan

8:29:11

would probably feel slighted. I

8:29:11

would say by the overall Yeah,

8:29:16

yeah, this is all we get. So

8:29:16

after this incident with the

8:29:20

changing and him walking in

8:29:20

there, Miyagi feels terrible. It

8:29:24

feels terrible. Miyagi

8:29:24

apologizes you see before I'm

8:29:27

live with a friend Daniel son,

8:29:27

Danielson come in Miyagi room.

8:29:31

Miyagi come in Danielson room,

8:29:31

no big deal, boys easier.

8:29:36

And that's it. We

8:29:36

don't talk about Daniel again.

8:29:39

None of the Cobra Kai stuff,

8:29:39

nothing else comes

8:29:42

well, like what we discussed on the trailer. It's not so much that they only

8:29:44

referenced Daniel once but this

8:29:47

was the references this is when

8:29:47

they chose to reference Daniel

8:29:50

this very moment. I know odd

8:29:50

choice

8:29:52

making light of

8:29:52

it. I said they should have told

8:29:54

a story about how he helped a

8:29:54

troubled kid in the past who had

8:29:58

issues he was being bullied.

8:29:58

Yeah, just sit her down and set

8:30:01

her straight. This story goes

8:30:01

right in her head like whatever.

8:30:04

Great. You knew a guy says he

8:30:04

means nothing to Julie

8:30:07

used to live with some guy. Okay, that's cool. That's

8:30:09

cool. My

8:30:09

roommates are cool. So, Miyagi

8:30:12

offends Julie. He tries to talk

8:30:12

with her. And he says, you know,

8:30:18

Julie, ambition without the

8:30:18

knowledge is like boat on dry

8:30:23

land. So he's throwing these

8:30:23

like Miyagi isms, these little

8:30:27

nuggets out there and she's

8:30:27

like, What are you talking

8:30:30

about? Like that almost makes

8:30:30

her more mad that he's coming

8:30:33

out and talking and code

8:30:34

while he says something like, I'm trying to teach you something. She goes,

8:30:35

what are you gonna teach me you can't even speak English. Like

8:30:37

she makes some sort of ouch out

8:30:40

she lashes out. So

8:30:41

she's so mad now

8:30:41

that she blazes out of the house

8:30:45

where I was sitting. I was

8:30:45

literally sitting across the

8:30:47

street so she would have come

8:30:47

right outside and nearly hit by

8:30:52

a pizza delivery car. And so

8:30:52

it's funny when I finished our

8:30:56

episode, when I was at the

8:30:56

house, I actually went around

8:30:58

the block and reenacted the

8:30:58

pizza delivery as the pizza I

8:31:02

will put that on YouTube Live It

8:31:02

was pretty funny or you our

8:31:04

YouTube channel and just did

8:31:04

exactly as I was the pizza guy

8:31:08

how that moment would have been.

8:31:08

So he comes over stops. What

8:31:11

does Julie do?

8:31:12

Well, Julie does

8:31:12

something amazing and unexpected

8:31:15

things even for Miyagi. I mean,

8:31:15

we all you've seen some

8:31:17

interesting things in his life,

8:31:17

um, a certain especially as a

8:31:20

war veteran, right? She jumped

8:31:20

Yeah, how about that? How about

8:31:24

the crane? This pizza delivery

8:31:24

guy comes up she suddenly li

8:31:29

reflexively jumps up and lands

8:31:29

on the hood of the car. She only

8:31:32

holds it, she only plants it for

8:31:32

a few seconds, and then she

8:31:34

jumps off again. But she jumps

8:31:34

up onto the hood of this pizza

8:31:38

delivery car and avoids being

8:31:38

killed basically, because

8:31:41

he does slam on the brakes. To be clear, he doesn't keep mowing down. He's

8:31:42

going way too

8:31:45

fast for that area. 20 Because he's trying to make his 30 minute limit.

8:31:48

Exactly. He works

8:31:48

for party time pizza 5551235

8:31:53

We're never late 30 minutes or

8:31:53

it's free. So he's probably

8:31:57

going 45 and a 25 or 4025. But

8:31:57

he's like, she jumps up jumps

8:32:03

off. Miyagi, can't believe.

8:32:06

I just imagined a lot of pizza places were probably like, we can't do this.

8:32:08

30 minutes. I think people are

8:32:11

getting killed

8:32:12

to kill somebody. It's not worth it's not worth it. But Miyagi comes out. The

8:32:14

pizza delivery guy is hilarious.

8:32:18

Yeah, I'm so sorry. I'm so

8:32:18

sorry. I gotta go. Yeah, I'm

8:32:21

sorry. I'm out of here. And

8:32:21

Miyagi, like rolls his eyes, and

8:32:25

then they go back inside. Julian

8:32:25

Miyagi, go back inside. And so

8:32:29

we learn that Julie knows

8:32:29

karate. Yeah, she already knows

8:32:36

karate. Yeah. Or at least was

8:32:36

taught lesson taught lessons.

8:32:38

And a lot of kids learn it as a

8:32:38

youth, and then lose sight of it

8:32:42

for a long time. But if they

8:32:42

ever get back into it, that

8:32:45

skill sets there, right? And

8:32:45

that's why she could make that

8:32:47

leap muscle memory, muscle

8:32:47

memory. But how did she learn

8:32:51

karate?

8:32:52

Okay, so this

8:32:52

right here is what I held on to

8:32:56

this carried me through the

8:32:56

movie is the connection between

8:33:00

Julie Pierce and Daniel Russo

8:33:00

because Miyagi taught karate to

8:33:06

Julie's grandfather, who taught

8:33:06

it to his son. Yep. Who was

8:33:12

Julie's father? Who taught it to

8:33:12

Julie? Yep. So she is a part of

8:33:17

the Miyagi dough. Legacy and

8:33:17

dynasty, as is Daniel Russo. So

8:33:22

there he goes there but what are the kind of like, like cousins? Not not so different from him

8:33:24

and chosen right, in a way?

8:33:27

Yeah, that's

8:33:27

that's pretty close. So there's

8:33:29

the lineage there, right there.

8:33:29

And the grandfather, by the way,

8:33:33

saved Miyagi his life.

8:33:35

Yes. Okay. So

8:33:35

more more time. So

8:33:37

he was like

8:33:37

connection. You say, my life.

8:33:40

I'm going to teach a karate

8:33:40

maybe to save your life? I don't

8:33:42

know. But this is something I

8:33:42

passed down. But I got a red

8:33:46

flag here. What? Yeah. And the

8:33:46

Karate Kid. The original. Yeah.

8:33:52

Miyagi tells Daniel. He never

8:33:52

taught anyone karate. Because

8:33:58

Daniel says, Have you ever taught this to someone else after this is when he jumps over

8:34:00

the fence, saves him on the

8:34:02

Halloween night, brings him back

8:34:02

to the little office there and

8:34:06

Daniel's getting patched up. And

8:34:06

he asked me if you've ever

8:34:09

taught me one. And he says,

8:34:10

No, I might have

8:34:10

took that meeting as Have you

8:34:13

ever like taught me kids? Oh,

8:34:13

that's what I thought. No, no,

8:34:16

that's what I thought kids. It's

8:34:16

like Have you ever talked to

8:34:19

anybody under a

8:34:19

teenager this movie doesn't

8:34:25

really line up it's a bit of

8:34:25

skewed with the you know his

8:34:28

name Kisaki and then this is a

8:34:28

big fat

8:34:31

Okay, so in other

8:34:31

words, the Cobra Kai creators

8:34:33

and showrunners want to stay

8:34:33

canon or stick to Canon. But The

8:34:37

Next Karate Kid show runners did

8:34:37

not care about Canada

8:34:40

they did not they

8:34:40

did not know if they bring

8:34:42

Julianne and they maybe they can

8:34:42

write this wrong. Like Miyagi

8:34:46

taught him because of this, they

8:34:46

can maybe say something and just

8:34:49

put it behind us. So there's

8:34:49

just that I want to point it

8:34:52

out. That's all.

8:34:53

Also an interesting lineage is you had Okay, so he saved Miyagi. Miyagi

8:34:55

taught him karate, He taught his

8:35:00

son and it could have ended

8:35:00

their exact but instead, we went

8:35:04

one step further. And then the

8:35:04

dead teachers, Julie, enough for

8:35:06

her to reflexively jump up on a

8:35:06

speeding vehicle. Thank goodness

8:35:09

she knew it. So very impressive.

8:35:09

For Julie that bond. Yeah, in

8:35:14

the Miyagi verse. That's what I

8:35:14

held on to when there were

8:35:17

moments in this film where I'm

8:35:17

doing an eye roll or whatever.

8:35:19

I'm like, Ah, focus on marinas.

8:35:19

final performance. Yep. And

8:35:23

focus on that connection in the

8:35:23

Miyagi verse legacy.

8:35:26

Absolutely. Yeah,

8:35:26

I could sit here and slander

8:35:28

movie all day. I have my

8:35:28

thoughts, but I'm looking for

8:35:31

the things to draw me in. And

8:35:31

we'll kind of surmise afterwards

8:35:34

about some things that could

8:35:34

have done differently. Like

8:35:36

maybe she was bullied by women.

8:35:36

And there's a few things that I

8:35:40

think would have made this movie

8:35:40

better, right, but they lost

8:35:43

some of the Dream Team.

8:35:43

Well, what that would have done is it would have made it a woman's movie

8:35:45

effectively, right? If you have

8:35:48

a female hero bullied by other

8:35:48

females, it will by default

8:35:51

become a woman's movie, not that

8:35:51

I'm against that. I love the

8:35:54

Ghostbusters reboot.

8:35:56

Good idea. And way ahead of its time,

8:35:58

it would have been way Yeah, no, I'm by the way, just to be clear. I'm on

8:36:00

board with whatever people want

8:36:02

to do. You know what I'm saying?

8:36:02

What you do is though you make a

8:36:04

choice. Yeah,

8:36:05

you man they did.

8:36:05

But I think if Cayman and

8:36:07

Appleton had been in the writers

8:36:07

room, it would have come out

8:36:11

differently. Now was Karate Kid

8:36:11

Part Three a home run? No, but

8:36:14

it's not this much of a train

8:36:14

wreck. It's got to tissues, the

8:36:18

tacked on all Valley. It's an

8:36:18

afterthought. But there's a lot

8:36:21

of good stuff in there.

8:36:22

Well, what? Well,

8:36:22

if Abelson and Kaman were on

8:36:25

board, it had been the

8:36:25

continuing saga of debt. Well,

8:36:28

we don't know

8:36:28

have Daniel would have continued

8:36:30

let's just say that he tapped

8:36:30

out to go do other things.

8:36:32

Okay, that would

8:36:32

have been his decision not maybe

8:36:35

they made Julie

8:36:36

just a little bit

8:36:36

richer move around. That's all.

8:36:40

So next up more sitcom moments,

8:36:43

Julie, here's

8:36:43

where it gets a little wacky.

8:36:48

Yeah, Julie

8:36:48

Blair's music with door open my

8:36:51

eyes, wide open leaves,

8:36:51

stockings and makeup in the

8:36:55

bathroom. So my question is

8:36:55

this.

8:36:58

When does she wear stockings?

8:36:59

Or this is a huge

8:37:01

house. That's

8:37:01

those are Luis's stuck places.

8:37:05

This is a huge house. I've been by it. I've seen it up close and personal.

8:37:07

Yeah, they gotta share their

8:37:09

home bathroom. Doc, come on.

8:37:13

We got five bathrooms, but you gotta share. We're

8:37:15

gonna put you

8:37:15

guys in here the lawn suite.

8:37:17

You're gonna share this bat.

8:37:17

That's funny. Yeah. So yeah,

8:37:20

there's that. And then Miyagi?

8:37:20

Wax is a car. So he is waxing on

8:37:26

waxing off, and we figure we

8:37:26

know what's coming. Yeah, it is.

8:37:31

But this is Julian is the

8:37:31

magical and she's not falling

8:37:34

for it. And Julie wants to which

8:37:34

I love. So she doesn't want to

8:37:38

wax. But she does want to

8:37:38

relearn karate. Right, right.

8:37:42

Yeah,

8:37:43

he's interested. He doesn't have to convince No, this is on her. Yeah.

8:37:46

And then they

8:37:46

kind of negotiate if she won't

8:37:49

wax on wax off. How about to

8:37:49

math papers? One history paper

8:37:53

for one karate lesson? Yeah.

8:37:53

Yeah, he's good. quick on his

8:37:57

feet.

8:37:57

Yeah, I like

8:37:57

that. You're negotiating. You're

8:37:59

not ordering the youth around or

8:37:59

trying to dominate them. You're

8:38:03

negotiating with them as what?

8:38:03

You know, she ate it. I like it.

8:38:05

Yeah. But I did love that. She was not interested in waxing on wax off,

8:38:07

much like Anthony LORUSSO. I'm

8:38:10

sure he was like, No, I'm gonna

8:38:10

hire a TaskRabbit does this for

8:38:13

me. But Julie comes up once

8:38:13

never really mentioned really?

8:38:17

But she needs money for the

8:38:17

mall. She's a teen girl. She

8:38:21

wants to go get stuff, right.

8:38:21

She needs goods.

8:38:23

Yeah. 94.

8:38:23

Especially. I mean, I would say

8:38:25

the 90s was the end of the mall

8:38:28

era mall rats.

8:38:28

Yeah, kind of the 80s and 90s

8:38:31

for sure. Yeah, like,

8:38:32

you know what, I

8:38:32

found myself at a mall about a

8:38:34

year or so ago. And I was sitting there having lunch and I was made it a point to look at

8:38:36

the teenagers. I was like, what are the teenagers doing in the

8:38:38

mall? They're not doing what we

8:38:40

used to do. And that was trying

8:38:40

to meet other teams. They

8:38:44

weren't trying to do that.

8:38:45

Yeah, there's old

8:38:45

people walk in the mall. Yeah,

8:38:47

walk around. Yeah, having

8:38:47

fitness. So Miyagi to help Julie

8:38:52

raise some cashola gets her a

8:38:52

babysitting gig. Yeah. But Sal,

8:38:57

this is no ordinary babysitting

8:38:57

job.

8:38:59

And no, no, it

8:38:59

was almost an ambush. It was

8:39:03

super ambush. And

8:39:03

three young kids across the

8:39:06

street. So when I was parked

8:39:06

there, that house was still

8:39:09

right there. I just didn't take

8:39:09

photos of it. But that house is

8:39:12

just across the street. Okay, so

8:39:12

that was the literally they're

8:39:14

legit, because they walk across

8:39:14

the street. You see that shot,

8:39:17

but it's a quick exchange

8:39:17

between Miyagi and Julie and you

8:39:21

play Miyagi, per usual.

8:39:23

Son, his warm

8:39:23

grass is green, because he's

8:39:26

trying to give

8:39:26

Julie like, kind of like be in

8:39:28

your safe place. You're gonna

8:39:28

deal with these three young

8:39:30

crazy kids. Yeah, who are gonna

8:39:30

be a handful. You know

8:39:33

what it is? Sun

8:39:33

is warm grass is green. was the

8:39:37

precursor to Serenity now?

8:39:39

Yeah, serenity.

8:39:39

Now Seinfeld. So Julie's like,

8:39:42

what if

8:39:44

today, Julie's on

8:39:44

get hungry. Just you repeat

8:39:47

those words. Take deep breath in

8:39:47

through nose. Son, his warm.

8:39:52

Grass is green. Everything

8:39:52

workout? Sayonara.

8:39:57

Sayonara. There's

8:39:57

more sign hours on this movie

8:40:01

than any other Cobra Kai karate.

8:40:03

I don't think

8:40:03

I've ever heard Miyagi say sign.

8:40:05

Yeah, cuz when when Daniels driving away, it's Banzai. It's not saying Nora.

8:40:07

Yeah. So anyway. And then she

8:40:13

uses this later with Eric at one

8:40:13

point in time, and he wants to

8:40:15

kiss her. Spoiler alert, what's

8:40:15

coming, and then she had to

8:40:18

reset herself and she uses it.

8:40:18

Sun is warm grass is green. He's

8:40:22

like what? Yeah, so it does come

8:40:22

back into play. But it's these

8:40:25

little things. It's just so it's

8:40:25

off point. It's off script. This

8:40:29

is new stuff. Right? Now putting

8:40:29

Miyagi down. It's just you know,

8:40:33

this is the writing. And this is

8:40:33

where they took it. So at her

8:40:37

babysitting gig, she is

8:40:37

bombarded by nerf toys, which I

8:40:42

love nerf toys by, but she gets

8:40:42

a revenge sell. And any thoughts

8:40:46

on how much money she made that

8:40:46

day?

8:40:49

Well, there were

8:40:49

three kids. And I do believe I

8:40:52

don't have my inflation

8:40:52

calculator. But babysitting pays

8:40:55

more today

8:40:56

than it did then.

8:40:56

Then a lot less than the idea.

8:40:59

Well,

8:41:00

I think today, you're obliged to give babysitter's minimum wage at

8:41:01

least right back then. I think

8:41:03

you don't even need to I'm gonna

8:41:03

guess that for the evening.

8:41:06

Those rambunctious kids she made

8:41:06

in 1994 $25.

8:41:11

That's probably a good guess. Although I think it would be fitting how many kids

8:41:13

so maybe that's why I say 25.

8:41:17

Otherwise,

8:41:17

I'd say 50. I'd say between

8:41:19

20 and 30. Tops

8:41:19

25 might be the max. So yeah,

8:41:23

the kids are wild and then she

8:41:23

does a good job of taking it in

8:41:26

stride and then returning some

8:41:26

of these nerfing He's back at

8:41:29

them these nerve devices, she

8:41:29

shoots them with nerves and they

8:41:32

love her and then she's out. So

8:41:32

now it's night. We don't ever

8:41:35

see those kids never see those

8:41:35

kids again. They're all I look

8:41:38

like that as a kid, super

8:41:38

blonde. They're all blonde kids

8:41:41

are cracking up. I wonder if any

8:41:41

of them became anybody but I

8:41:44

didn't recognize any

8:41:45

Well, I guess we

8:41:45

may find out on Cobra Kai season

8:41:48

five or six if any of those boys

8:41:48

show up. Yeah, exactly.

8:41:51

So now it's

8:41:51

nighttime. Miyagi is in bed, and

8:41:54

Julie sneaks out and so it plays

8:41:54

as if Julie cranked up the tunes

8:41:59

again because Miyagi reaches for

8:41:59

cotton balls and puts him in his

8:42:02

ear. But we never see her turn

8:42:02

any music on. So that was a bit

8:42:06

off. It was like we hear music

8:42:06

kick in, but it's like, is it

8:42:09

score? Are she playing the music

8:42:09

but small thing?

8:42:12

Oh, you thought maybe she's she is playing music as a decoy for her escape.

8:42:16

But then he puts those things in as if he's annoyed. like, Ah, here she goes

8:42:18

again. But they should have

8:42:20

shown it. Yeah, like she pushed

8:42:20

his play. And I guess it's about

8:42:24

nine or 10pm. Right kind of late

8:42:24

for her to be sneaking out the

8:42:28

house. But she heads to school

8:42:28

to feed Angel. But guess who's

8:42:33

waiting?

8:42:33

What that is funny though. She's sneaking out to feed a bird not to like sneak

8:42:35

out to go hook up with a boy.

8:42:38

Exactly. Yeah,

8:42:38

exactly. Well, who's waiting for

8:42:40

her at the high school? Alfa

8:42:40

league you

8:42:46

got a tip of my

8:42:46

tongue? Oh, finally. Oh, they're

8:42:49

waiting

8:42:49

for her, which is

8:42:49

weird. So they had been waiting

8:42:52

because there was they'd heard

8:42:52

that a girl had broke into the

8:42:55

school. So now they're all

8:42:55

waiting like it's a girl. It's a

8:42:58

girl. It's got to be Juliet.

8:42:58

They're waiting for her and

8:43:00

their students themselves. It's

8:43:00

9:10pm on a weeknight, and

8:43:05

there's five of them waiting for

8:43:05

maybe someone's gonna come

8:43:08

but no, yeah,

8:43:08

nobody's supposed to be there.

8:43:11

No one's supposed to

8:43:11

be there. Totally

8:43:11

bizarre. So she shows up, and

8:43:16

they chase her through the

8:43:16

school into the cafeteria. And

8:43:20

it's kind of scary like Ned's

8:43:20

taking the lead keeping the

8:43:22

other four at bay. All that

8:43:22

stuff from before is in play.

8:43:26

But all slimy creepy, but slimy.

8:43:26

This guy represents bad. Yeah.

8:43:30

And it also kinda reminds me of

8:43:30

Jurassic Park. When the

8:43:33

velociraptors are chasing them

8:43:33

to the cafeteria you've got

8:43:35

those old device was

8:43:36

also a precursor

8:43:36

to hawk chasing Eli tono Demetri

8:43:41

Demetri Hawk Chase and

8:43:42

all that feeds

8:43:42

Yes. And it's kind of a scary

8:43:45

scene. It's super dark. He's got

8:43:45

bad intention. Yeah,

8:43:49

because you know

8:43:49

what these guys so far are very

8:43:51

they're just one dimensional bad

8:43:51

guy. These guys have no

8:43:54

goodness. These guys are just

8:43:54

all bad, creepy slimy chasing a

8:43:58

girl at night through school.

8:43:58

And mainly nothing can come of

8:44:01

this.

8:44:01

Well, it starts

8:44:01

at the top Duke is bad. We see

8:44:03

that and NAD that closest to is

8:44:03

bad. We never really get to know

8:44:07

the other ones. They think for

8:44:07

themselves. Or hangers on

8:44:10

Charlie and then the other ones

8:44:10

just don't even have names. So

8:44:14

Julie smartly, hits the fire

8:44:14

alarm.

8:44:16

Yeah, good move.

8:44:17

And it's a fast

8:44:17

response. Yeah, well, it's

8:44:20

Boston. It's not I was gonna say

8:44:20

Boston doesn't mess around with

8:44:22

this. La you'd be hanging out.

8:44:22

One of my neighbors is a

8:44:25

firefighter Cambridge, shout out

8:44:25

and even have

8:44:28

a show about

8:44:28

Boston fire department or wasn't

8:44:31

there the Dennis Leary show?

8:44:31

Yeah, I was that way.

8:44:33

Before I live there. I wasn't really focused on so fast response. She escaped

8:44:35

but the police pull up fire

8:44:40

truck pulls up. Thank God you're

8:44:40

here. Dugan gets out. I know

8:44:45

squad car not driving. He's

8:44:45

riding along. It's Brooke line

8:44:49

PD. And she's like, I can't What

8:44:49

the hell

8:44:52

I can do guns everywhere. It's like one of those moments where like, you

8:44:54

jump in the car like oh my god, I kill us chasing me and there

8:44:55

are new killer. It's like, hey,

8:44:59

yeah, no safety.

8:45:00

So now we cut to

8:45:00

the Brookline police station and

8:45:03

Miyagi is picking up Julie. So

8:45:03

I'm not sure what she arrested.

8:45:08

Or they just took her to jail. But

8:45:10

let me tell you something in my life growing up when I've shared some of my

8:45:12

juvenile delinquency experiences

8:45:15

with friends from across the

8:45:15

nation coast to coast. Yeah, in

8:45:18

Los Angeles. Things that got us

8:45:18

arrested would have only gotten

8:45:22

East Coast kids detained. Oh,

8:45:22

I've seen so much of this

8:45:26

truancies Nobody I know in my

8:45:26

lifetime who was ever caught

8:45:31

being truant was arrested and

8:45:31

put in handcuffs. We were in Los

8:45:35

Angeles. So just a different

8:45:35

climate here. So yeah, I think

8:45:38

kids maybe got away with a lot

8:45:38

more on the East Coast

8:45:41

especially a white kid in the

8:45:41

90s. Let's but they took her to

8:45:43

the police stations. Yeah, it

8:45:43

was it was detained to tank

8:45:46

Yeah. Not arrested, not

8:45:46

fingerprinted not mug shot the

8:45:48

whole thing

8:45:48

but we do know

8:45:48

that she was suspended for two

8:45:51

weeks. That was cool. That was a

8:45:51

Dugan is doing because he's

8:45:54

there he's like, that's Julie

8:45:54

Pierce out for two weeks. And he

8:45:58

ordered the principal he does or

8:45:58

the principal around. We've seen

8:46:00

that firsthand. So now we're at

8:46:00

the train yard. And Eric agrees

8:46:06

to feed the hawk Angel. And

8:46:06

Julie admits she misses air.

8:46:11

Yeah, did I miss something? And

8:46:11

it went from like, I don't even

8:46:14

know you. I can't trust you to

8:46:14

miss you. Like they bonded very

8:46:18

quickly. Maybe when he opened up

8:46:18

and told his story.

8:46:20

Young Love can

8:46:20

happen quickly. I used to go to

8:46:22

summer camp every year as a kid

8:46:22

and you would like have the

8:46:25

ultimate relationship in a week.

8:46:25

That's true. So believe me Young

8:46:29

Love you right away yeah

8:46:29

internet speed is young love

8:46:33

and when she

8:46:33

admits that Miyagi is in the car

8:46:36

because basically when he knows

8:46:36

that she is suspended for two

8:46:39

weeks he hatches a new plan with

8:46:39

a plan to help her get more

8:46:43

training but Miyagi rolls his eyes

8:46:45

what I like how he gave her her space he didn't try to go metal Oh, no, no, no,

8:46:47

you know what what do you want

8:46:49

with Julie like he didn't we see

8:46:49

a little bit that later in the

8:46:52

kitchen with the knife. I like

8:46:52

that moment. But he just he lets

8:46:55

her have her space and the he

8:46:55

lets her communicate with this.

8:46:59

You know, potential love interest

8:47:00

and Miyagi doesn't even meet Eric yet. Meanwhile, he's on top of

8:47:02

training again, not moving. Mind

8:47:05

you. It's just stationary. So

8:47:05

now we're at Bernie's. I love

8:47:09

this name. So Ernie has got gas.

8:47:09

That is a great name for a gas

8:47:15

station. But I want that shirt.

8:47:15

Yeah, Ernie. He's got gas.

8:47:18

I like it. And we're going to be guys similar to the beach guys from the first

8:47:19

movie. Yeah. Who are those guys?

8:47:23

Oh, yeah. What they call who?

8:47:25

One? Yes. One

8:47:25

Yahoo. Yahoo. One spoke at my

8:47:28

high school commencement. Dr.

8:47:28

giggles Yeah, yeah. Larry Drake.

8:47:32

And he was also dark, man. Yeah.

8:47:32

Yeah, these

8:47:35

guys are similar.

8:47:36

There's also

8:47:36

deliverance vibe going on. Yeah,

8:47:39

yeah. There's that. Yeah. So

8:47:39

Miyagi wants five gallons of gas

8:47:42

like specific? Yes. Yeah. He

8:47:42

didn't give $1 I want five

8:47:46

gallons. And I want some

8:47:46

chocolate bars with almonds. So

8:47:48

big fan of that. But the locals

8:47:48

Sal have other

8:47:52

plans. Yeah, they're in there, like playing cards or some playing cards

8:47:55

and Ernie is

8:47:55

behind the register. And the

8:47:58

Doberman, a Doberman guard dog

8:47:58

growls at JULIE Oh, yeah. Very

8:48:03

aggressive now so it's like oh,

8:48:03

no, we see a doberman. You

8:48:05

immediately think like guard

8:48:05

dog. This guy's bad.

8:48:08

The cropped ears

8:48:08

cropped here look friendly.

8:48:10

So Miyagi comes

8:48:10

in, calms the dog just by he's

8:48:15

got that Paul Hogan Crocodile

8:48:15

Dundee sensibility calms him

8:48:20

down. The locals are mad that

8:48:20

his dog he's like, my dog a wet

8:48:24

brah you know, so he gets

8:48:24

chicken. He gets scared. And

8:48:28

this starts to escalate things.

8:48:28

One of these guys grabs Julie

8:48:33

pushes Miyagi I believe twice

8:48:33

it's like, oh, my gosh, what

8:48:37

world is this? Yeah, so not

8:48:37

going good. But Sal, it

8:48:42

definitely had some deliverance

8:48:42

vibe because they were coming

8:48:45

hot and heavy and just grabbing

8:48:45

a teenage girl i This happens

8:48:49

too much in this mood while

8:48:50

also making a threatening statement. Like you'll go when I say you go or

8:48:52

something like that.

8:48:55

We're just here

8:48:55

for five gallons of gas and some

8:48:57

chocolate bars. Yeah, but then

8:48:57

from that moment, it does turn

8:49:00

silly.

8:49:01

When he beats up the guys yes, this

8:49:03

fight is

8:49:03

ridiculous. farcical Keystone

8:49:06

Cops. Well, because

8:49:07

one of the other guys that grabbed like a crowbar or something as a smacking his

8:49:09

buddy and they

8:49:11

started hitting

8:49:11

themselves. Yeah. And Miyagi

8:49:13

doesn't take. He's not hitting

8:49:13

yourself stuff. He's using them

8:49:17

to shield each other. It's like

8:49:17

they all go down. So three are

8:49:20

on the ground. And then Ernie,

8:49:20

he's like, Hey, I got no problem

8:49:23

here.

8:49:23

Yeah, you could tell Ernie was kind of subjugated by these guys, too.

8:49:27

Exactly. Yeah,

8:49:27

exactly. So cheesy. And now

8:49:30

we're off to the monk monastery.

8:49:30

What we're going to soon find

8:49:34

out is the monk Yeah.

8:49:35

Instead, it's almost kind of reminded me of like Princess Bride where

8:49:37

they're like outside. They knock

8:49:39

some doors like this brick wall.

8:49:39

And she's like, what do we do

8:49:42

now? He goes, we wait. We wait.

8:49:42

And they just sit there and they

8:49:44

five days pass? Yeah, yeah. We

8:49:44

don't know how long it is.

8:49:46

Well, so I've

8:49:46

talked about this on the

8:49:48

episode. We talked about the

8:49:48

trailer. And I think I haven't

8:49:51

mentioned it when it's in front

8:49:51

of Julie's house, but I have

8:49:54

been to this location. I was not

8:49:54

going for this location. Part of

8:49:58

the movie. I was just going

8:49:58

there with Sophia to take it in

8:50:01

because it's Castle Hill on

8:50:01

crane estate. Beautiful. I mean,

8:50:06

there is a castle there rolling

8:50:06

hills private beach, but this

8:50:10

movie cheated this the gardens

8:50:10

which are gorgeous. We went

8:50:13

through this gate, Sophia and I

8:50:13

did what is adjacent to a

8:50:16

private beach. Yeah, they have

8:50:16

their own private Bush. And it's

8:50:19

at just to be clear 280 are Gila

8:50:19

Road, Ipswich, Massachusetts.

8:50:25

Look it up Castle Hill, Granite

8:50:25

State, we became members of this

8:50:28

whole organization, you can go

8:50:28

visit these properties. But they

8:50:32

don't show that because they don't want to show like it looks like Downton Abbey or something.

8:50:33

They want to keep it on point.

8:50:36

So we went through that brick

8:50:36

wall and you see the turrets

8:50:39

when they enter when the monks

8:50:39

let them in. Yeah, hours later

8:50:42

nightfall for monks, I believe

8:50:42

show up and let them in. And you

8:50:48

see a turret in the background.

8:50:48

A real beautiful, what's a

8:50:51

turret? It's like a rounded area

8:50:51

and a castle that's protected.

8:50:55

And it does little rooms that

8:50:55

they stayed in. They have

8:50:58

windows but no glass and they're

8:50:58

circular. Yeah, well covered.

8:51:01

Well, there's two were like

8:51:01

Rapunzel would be up there.

8:51:03

Exactly. And that was much

8:51:03

higher. This is lower the ground

8:51:06

like a level up okay. But there

8:51:06

was two of them. You see one

8:51:09

when they walk in the gate, and

8:51:09

we went in that area and I was

8:51:12

like, This is amazing. And I was

8:51:12

telling Sophia. It'd be or maybe

8:51:17

she mentioned to me, this would

8:51:17

be a great place to stay. You

8:51:19

could rent these two things out

8:51:19

as Airbnb, sir. Well, it's where

8:51:23

they wound up staying. Julie had

8:51:23

one Miyagi had one. There was

8:51:26

not the tranquil garden there

8:51:26

wasn't the sand garden that was

8:51:30

not there that could have been

8:51:30

there in the 90s and 2000s. But

8:51:34

more likely the movie inserted

8:51:34

that but I don't know. But all

8:51:38

the other stuff looks like that

8:51:39

what you were

8:51:39

there. And while you were there

8:51:42

did not know not where you were

8:51:42

in the connection to the next

8:51:45

credit card

8:51:45

did not know

8:51:45

until we started prepping. And

8:51:48

we're doing the trailer episode.

8:51:48

I put it on just kind of scan

8:51:51
