PODCASTING! STRIKE FIRST, STRIKE HARD

Terminator, Nightmare on Elm Street, Dune, Ghostbusters, Gremlins. All great movies all came out my high school senior year. Indeed, there was just something in the water in Hollywood back in 1984, and it’s high time we here at Retro Cool Nerd stopped ignoring it. Some of our generation’s most beloved movies came out that year and by god we will eventually talk about all of them! This week we join the boys over at Saturday Morning Cereal kick off — or rather- we crane kick off our 1984 movie series with the celebration of arguably the most perfect 80’s movie of all time, The Karate Kid. Plus we share an extra special treat this episode, Johnny Heck’s interviews with WonderCon 2019 roundtable guests “Johnny Lawrence” William Zabka (Karate Kid, Back To School) and the master himself “Sensei Kreese” Martin Kove (Karate Kid, Rambo: First Blood Part II) of the wickedly popular Youtube Premium Series Cobra Kai. If ever there were proof that the themes of Saturday morning TV that we grew up with also grew up with us, it is the existence of this massively popular, 35-year-later small screen spin off. Featuring, for the first time ever, all four Saturday Morning Cereal co-hosts jammed into a single booth at 3 Palms Studio! That’s right! So join Grim Shea, Marke, Johnny Heck, AND Jimmy the Gent… or we will show no mercy. Leg sweeps all around, I’m not kidding.You’re a pushy little bastard, aren’t ya? But I like that, I like that! Push that play button, Larusso.
