Sweep The Leg Podcast

On Feb 12th 2011 STL was born! Well the time has come to finally redo that episode over again. And no better person to do it with, than Time Travlin Peter! He's helped me in the past redo some of my earlier episodes like "The Heavenly Kid" and "Back To The Future". But this one is the one I hated the most, and felt after the 182th episode, it was time to do this movie the justice it deserves. This time we dive deep into this awesome flick, the characters, moments, the remake, and what the sequel should be like. Plus other fun stuff like more "Cobra Kai" talk and Michael Jackson videos. Enjoy!

Masunas & Jamison "Very Good" Rabbitt come full circle with our full review of the film "Cobra Kai". To us it's a 5 hour long sequel and continuation of "The Karate Kid" series. We come full circle as this is the movie that brought us together, we had an amazing interview with Johnny Lawrence himself on the 100th episode, and we get deep into the 10 episodes released on Youtube Red. We get into what we loved, what didn't work, score, flashbacks, character arcs, who's good, who's bad, the crane kick, what the future holds and much more.

In this special episode I am joined by a very special guest, my daughter Tabby "T-Mac" Masunas! Since I grew up with this movie, and I saw the movie when I was 14, I thought it would be fun to see how my 14 year old daughter would think of this movie by today's standards and and how it holds up and if she really thougt it was 24 years old. She is a little nervous at first but once we get into the review, you got 2 Masunas' making jokes, quoting movies and having a good time.

We have gone through some amazing times in the past 4 years and this episode is a celebration of that. To help me do that I brought in some guest hosts to talk about all the good times and memories including Time Travlin' Peter and of course I couldn't end this show without the one and the only Jamison "Very Good" Rabbitt! We have our last hurrah together of going through the beginning to the end and all those reviews we did together and which ones were our favorites, and which one episode is the one we both hate.
