Bonus Episode: Introducing Wax Episodic Hi, Jason here. This is a special bonus episode reposted from my new podcast, Wax Episodic, where I cover top-tier, story-rich TV shows one season at a time with different co-hosts. We’re kicking things off with Alien: Earth, and I wanted to share the first episode here so you can check it out. If you like it, please consider subscribing to Wax Episodic — it’s my new podcast home, and you can find it at waxepisodic.com.  Or just search “Wax Episodic” wherever you get your podcasts. PS I know you guys are into 80s nostalgia like us, and so Alien: Earth might be right up your alley — it taps into that gritty, suspenseful sci-fi vibe of classics like Aliens and The Thing, but with a fresh, modern edge. Alien: Earth S1E1&2: “Neverland” & “Mr. October” The wait is over — Alien: Earth has landed, and Noah Hawley’s first two episodes deliver everything we hoped for: suspense, grotesque alien terrors, strange new lifeforms, and a sharp look at how unchecked corporate ambition could shape our future — in a series that (at least so far) feels both classic and brand new. Join Jason, Randy, and Kara as we dig into “Neverland” and “Mr. October.” Links from the episode: Brain interface used to edit YouTube video — paralyzed Neuralink patient also uses AI to narrate with his own voice: https://www.tomshardware.com/peripherals/wearable-tech/brain-interface-used-to-edit-youtube-video-paralyzed-neuralink-patient-also-uses-ai-to-narrate-with-his-own-voice?utm_source=chatgpt.com  Next up on Wax Episodic: Alien: Earth S1E3 “Metamorphosis”!

We couldn’t end this podcast without talking about the first new Karate Kid movie in 15 years! We just wouldn’t do that to you.

Until then, you can hear Rima over on Strange Indeed, and Jason on just about everything else at podcastica.com. And I’m sure we’ll rope Richard into doing something else at some point too. Thanks again for following along with us, everybody. This was a special one. Take care of yourselves, and remember, it doesn’t matter if you’re a loser, or a nerd, or a freak. All that matters is that you become badass. :P  — Check out all our other shows at podcastica.com.  Show support and get ad-free episodes and a bunch of other cool stuff: patreon.com/jasoncabassi  Or go to buymeacoffee.com/cabassi for a one-time donation.

It’s finally time for some more Cobra Kai!!!! Rich, Rima, and Jason are back to give you guys a refresher on where we are in the story, share some news about the series and the Miyagiverse in general, talk about our hopes for the final (!) season, and also continue our coverage of the Karate Kid film series with 1994’s The Next Karate Kid, starring Pat Morita and introducing Hillary Swank! Yes, this movie is widely acknowledged to be the… least good… in the series, but we actually found a warm center to it that we enjoyed (and of course we nitpicked the hell out of it too).So glad to be back, and stoked for season 6 which premieres on Netflix on July 18!

Cobra Kai keeps us guessing in these last two episodes, sending all the adults out clubbing (which was delightful) and then into a bloody life-or-death battle at Terry’s place! Incredible finale to cap of another fantastic season. Thanks everybody for listening along with us. This show is so much fun, and we appreciate you guys listening and calling and writing in. Let’s hope we get at least one more season! Thanks to Ben for joining us for this last one!
