In this podcast, we dive deep into the Cobra Kai series finale (Season 6, Episodes 11-15), breaking down whether it delivers a worthy end to this long-running karate saga. Does the finale stick the landing? We discuss the emotional highs, the classic Cobra Kai silliness, and even the controversial AI-generated Mr. Miyagi. Plus, hear what the cast and creators have said about the show’s conclusion—and whether there’s a future for Cobra Kai beyond this.

But before that, we couldn’t ignore the biggest news in the Buffyverse: a confirmed Buffy sequel series! We react to Sarah Michelle Gellar’s announcement, discuss the creative team behind it, and speculate on what’s to come. Is this happening because of Joss Whedon’s absence from Hollywood? Is it just a cash grab? Or is there a truly brilliant idea driving this revival?

Finally, we continue our coverage of Severance Season 2, breaking down Episodes 4 and 5. We analyze Mark’s reintegration arc, the shocking Helly twist, and the unnerving realities of the Innies stepping outside under controlled circumstances. Plus, our resident Swede explains GRÅKAPPAN, and we dive into some wild theories about Kier and his mysterious brother, Dieter Eagan. It’s a packed episode—let’s get into it!

The most important to us is some more information about the upcoming release of “The Karate Kid: Legends” the film that combines the original film with the Jackie Chan reboot. A poster has been released and some descriptions of the trailer that was screened. Now what makes this TV news is we have more speculation of how this ties into or is effected by Cobra Kai!? Will it be completely separate? Will they hand wave it away? Will it have direct repercussions from the series finale of Cobra Kai?! Let’s SPECULATE.

18:19 – Yet another remake of Carrie is in the works, but this time in TV form! Yawn you all say, BUT Mike Flanagan is involved? Instant interest when Flanagan is attached.
