Crane kick illegal? Yes sensei!! No, no, no this goes against all the 80's taught us! Daniel LaRusso and Johnny Lawrence showed us - nay - spun kicked a story to us in 1984 that that left an indelible  mark on the 1980's, history, and the world. Fast forward 30 plus years and we get an entirely different story. The tale of what the hell happened to Johnny after the ill fated and now often argued "illegal" crane kick. All this and more get roundhoused into our consciousness in COBRA KAI! Seasons 1 & 2 available now on Netflix. What we can say Friday Nighters is that this is MUST SEE TV - to the max! SPOILERS contained in this ep! So watch all the Karate Kid movies and Cobra Kai season 1 & 2. So WATCH NOW, WATCH FAST, and show NO MERCY when you listen to this episode!

The bronze wrestler slides down his mask and ties the back as the roar of the crowd becomes deafening. In the audience a man gestures for a cold beer and holds out some cash. The action begins just as it did this night when we sat down in San Antonio's only Mexican wrestling or Lucha Libre if you prefer themed bar! Co-owners Jesse Campos and Billy Mendoza offered up exceptional hospitality and delicious drinks with a hearty helping of stories, laughs and a glimpse of what life is like BEHIND the bar! This is one for the ages Friday Nighters! El Luchador does a cross promotion tag team with Just Another Friday Night! The bad boys of bar owning and podcasting all in one place! Pull down your lucha mask and tie it tight this one is one helluva ride!!!

19 years ago America was attacked in the heart of NYC. The country came together and out this tragedy and showed that united we would not waiver. The first responders of NY became America's first responders and the NYPD and NYFD were as resounding as the Avengers or the JLA. Adamantium Adam and CM Chuck take time to share their personal thoughts, feelings, and memories of that tragic day. We focus on how comic books, movies, and life as a whole addressed the matter. We here at Just Another Friday Night honor and remember those lose on that fateful morning in September and we will never forget.

Chadwick Boseman born November 29, 1976 sadly passed away August 28, 2020 at the age of 43 from colon cancer. We here at Just Another Friday Night were deeply saddened upon hearing this news and decided to dedicate the Episode 1 of Season 2 of the JAFN podcast to his memory and his legacy. A career tragically cut short but one that could not have been more filled with both critical and commercial success. We loved Mr. Boseman's portrayal of King T'Challa in the Marvel Studios films he was in but we also discuss some his more recent and prominent roles. Overall we are saddened by the wonderful work that we will not get to see but ultimately count ourselves fortunate for the work we did get to enjoy. Goodnight Mighty King may you walk forever in the Djalia with the ancestors. Rest in Power King - Wakanda and CHADWICK FOREVER!!!

We have to steal a little bit from the back of the graphic novel because we simply can't say it better. Part western, part Mad Max this week kiddies we sink our claws into OLD MAN LOGAN. That's right for our season 1 FINALE we wanted to take on a tale of the JAFN's favorite superhero - the rabid WOLVERINE! Or is he? He certainly prefers to be called Logan in this story and the reasons why will chill you to your very core. If you're a fan of the Logan movie this is a far cry from that but the inspiration is certainly there. Each perfect in their own respect - the fans win by the stories being so different. Why? Because out of this we get TWO iconic Old Man Logan stories in comic form and then later the film. We are focusing strictly on Mark Millar and Steve McNiven's 2008 tale here though! And what a tale it is! Grab your fave brew, pop the can and your claws as we go in on OLD MAN LOGAN! SNIKT!

Mighty Marvel calls them "What If?" stories. DC calls them Elseworlds tales. But basically they are reimagining some of the most iconic moments and characters in comic book lore, begging the question what would the world be like had things been different. In this particular story DC asks the question what if instead of Kal-El crash landing in Kansas and being taken in by Jonathan and Martha Kent instead his ship lands in the USSR. What unfolds is a Superman story unlike any you've seen before. From the mind of Mark Millar in the comic form and written for the small screen by JAFN favorite J.M. DeMatteis. In our first breakdown of a DC animated film we pull back the curtain on SUPERMAN: RED SON. Pour some vodka and enjoy comrades!

In the world of DC comics Superman, Batman, & Wonder Woman are considered this world's finest superheroes. In the annals of the genre of science fiction movies, only one trilogy stands head and shoulders above the rest. Episode IV: A New Hope; Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back and last but certainly not least Episode VI: Return of the Jedi. The original Star Wars trilogy to us here at Just Another Friday Night IS everything!! There was just too much to pack into a regular sized episode so consider this a GIANT SIZED ANNUAL and enjoy!! Listen in parts if you must but make sure you let the Wookie win! Strap in as we aim collectively for a tiny exhaust port in your mind and as always MAY THE FORCE BE WITH YOU!

Way back in episode 2 we let you know who our heroes were. Now 20 episodes later the hour of the villain has come! You love to hate them but you can't help how they bring a smile to your face. This week is all about the villains we love and why from Dr. Doom and Darkseid to Mephisto and Ras Al Ghul. These are just a few we discuss - some you may know and some you'll get to know! These guys are the baddest of the bad and we look forward to presenting them to the Friday Night Faithful! It's not a good day to be the bad guy!

We're gonna raise a fuss, gonna raise a holler! Or better yet a shriek? That's right Friday Nighters all you boils and ghouls (thanks Crypt Keeper!) we're going macabre in this one. In our 21st episode we dip out toes in Crystal Lake, and take a suggestion right from YOU The Friday Night Faithful! Friday Nighter Foxy Roxy put forth the proposition of Summerween! Horror is not limited to October kiddies! Summer is just as much a fright fest we find out here! From IT, to just about any movie at a camp, to the saw being family. We touch and go - screaming mind you - to hide in our sleeping bags! It's horror and it's hot and it's all here and for you to HOWL at! So wear your best running shoes, and try to not trip as we venture BACK into the water - kicking and screaming the whole way! Cause they're ain't no cure for the summertime boo's!

High in the halls of the kings who are gone, Just Another Friday Night would dance with their ghosts. The ones we had lost and the ones who we found and the one who loved us the most. And a shrieking banshee we did find for this massive 20th episode!! The Ever Untamable Amiee joins Adamantium Adam and CM Chuck  for a discussion. A discussion that we simply had to bend the knee for - GAME OF THRONES. In this ep we add our first ever guest to the throne room and we attack the topic of one of the most impactful, iconic, and legendary shows of all time. Hear us talk characters, the ill fated end, and overall general love of the show as whole. If you're running late don't worry we'll hold the door!
