tongue_tied_danny Posted May 7, 2019 Share Posted May 7, 2019 I finished season two earlier today. A strong final episode and I can't wait for season three. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thistle_do_nicely Posted May 8, 2019 Share Posted May 8, 2019 really enjoyed that (also posted on the other thread in the US TV forum) I've finished season 1, will move on to binge the next episodes over the next few days after work. Wasn't even a huge fan of the Karate Kid films when I was younger but I'm engrossed in this. Great blend of nostalgia wanking vs. comparisons with modern day, not been ham fisted with it. I'm not a full on "lol ur a SJW" type or the opposite (an SJW?) but I think it's also managed to steer clear of heavy handed political messages one way or another, and just focuses on trying to deliver a fairly straightforward story. It's pandering to folk of a certain era (that rocky 3 reference was brilliant, I really want a firebird now etc. etc.) right enough, but it's doing it well. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shandon Par Posted September 16, 2020 Share Posted September 16, 2020 It's mentioned in the Netflix thread but this nostalgia fest warrants it own thread IMHO. Love how they've messed with the roles so that Daniel is often a nippy c**t and despite behind a reprehensible dinosaur you can't help cheering on Johnny. Mrs Par wants me to get her a Cobra Kai hoodie too so if you've any links to any non-shitey suppliers it would be appreciated. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cobra Kai and Barry are the two best US series of recent times. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You should snuggle down one evening with Mrs Mullarkey and watch the film she's from. The Love Witch. Something for everyone. Lots of smoking and incredibly attractive witches getting their kit off all the time. And murdering their husbands. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw that at the Edinburgh Film Festival in 2016. The director Anna Biller was there to take questions after it ended. There was a lone man sitting a few seats along from us wearing a long flasher-type coat. It's really weird and eccentric film but it's one of those ones that lives long in the memory. Great 60s feel to it. It seems to have amassed a cult following and I'm sure I saw it was on late on Film 4 a few months ago. I've been meaning to watch it again. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tongue_tied_danny Posted September 16, 2020 Share Posted September 16, 2020 Cobra Kai is effing brilliant. It has ruined The Karate Kid for me. I tried to watch it after a Cobra Kai marathon but I had to switch it off after ten minutes. It will never be the same again. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inanimate Carbon Rod Posted September 16, 2020 Share Posted September 16, 2020 Saw it a year ago on Youtube, im a big fan of the original film and it is just a fantastic bit of TV just now. Ive re-watched it a couple of times and i can’t wait for the third season, looks fantastic, the cliff hanger from season 2 was outstanding. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Connolly Posted September 16, 2020 Share Posted September 16, 2020 It's sensational. Johnny is absolutely magnificent, and it's clever the way that Daniel is the one who can't move on from the past, despite having been infinitely more successful. His wife is an absolute wid too (I only just realised she is Sheldon's twin sister from TBBT). The soundtrack is utterly magnificent too, and I've ended up in a bit of an REO Speedwagon loop over the last few days. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
