Podcasts about Miyagi

Cobra Kai's sinister karate master, John Kreese (Martin Kove), is seething with vengeance after the humiliating defeat dealt to him by Daniel LaRusso (Ralph Macchio) and the legendary Mr. Miyagi (Noriyuki "Pat" Morita). Determined to make them pay, Kreese teams up with his treacherous partner, Terry Silver (Thomas Ian Griffith), to orchestrate a diabolical scheme that will crush Daniel's spirit—and his championship dreams. Enter the ruthless ringer, Mike Barnes (Sean Kanan), hired to strip Daniel of his title in the cruelest way possible. But when Mr. Miyagi refuses to train Daniel, even under threat, the desperate teen makes a dangerous and costly mistake—seeking guidance from the venomous Terry Silver himself. The stage is set for an epic showdown, and the stakes have never been higher!

In this week's episode, we return to the world of Daniel LaRusso and Mr. Miyagi as we dive into The Karate Kid Part II(1986) — a sequel packed with emotion, tradition, and powerful karate moments. With Scott away on holiday, we welcome back friend of the show Wayne Thrussell as our special guest! Wayne brings his love of the Karate Kid franchise we unpack the film's deeper themes of honour, legacy, and love. We journey with Daniel and Miyagi to Okinawa, where family history unfolds, old rivalries are reignited, and valuable life lessons are learned. From the thunderous drums to the unforgettable ice-breaking scene, we revisit the moments that made this sequel a worthy continuation of the original. Expect laughs, nostalgic memories, and a few surprise tangents as we pay tribute to one of the most heartfelt martial arts films of the decade.

This week, we are tackling the newest entry in the long-running Karate Kid franchise- ‘Karate Kid: Legends'. It's two worlds colliding, as the long-established “Miyagi” universe crosses over with Jackie Chan's “Mr. Han” universe, in a collaboration that has some major hits, but some major misses as well. Listen in as we break down what we liked about this entry, what left us wanting more, and our thoughts on the possible future of the Karate Kid franchise!

We're talking long-awaited returns, surprise alliances, multi-generational mentorship, and whether this new chapter honors Mr. Miyagi's timeless teachings—or sweeps the leg on nostalgia.We kick things off with our origin story on the franchise, share our expectations heading in, and then give you our version of the plot—complete with dojo drama, heartfelt callbacks, and high-stakes fights.

¡Cobra Kai no se murió, Cobra Kai no se murió! Pero si se acabó, que le vamos a hacer, y si queremos Karate Kid, toca ver su regreso al cine, con Karate Kid: Legends. En la sexta entrega en pantalla grande de la saga (Eze no quiere que contemos The Karate Dog), el joven Li Fong es entrenado por el Sr. Han de la película de 2010 (o sea, Jackie Chan) para un torneo clandestino de karate en New York, pero como ellos hacen kung-fu, llaman a Daniel LaRusso, heredero directo del Sr. Miyagi. Así, las películas clásicas y la moderna son entretejidas en una sola saga. ¿Ganará el torneo de nuestro disfrute? Sépanlo, en este Sopapo Oriental, donde además Eze nos habla sobre la conexión entre el kung-fu y el karate. Recomienda, para más información, los canales de YouTube de MonkeyStealsPeach y KARATEbyJesse. Con música de Dom Lewis, y Tenacious D. Próximo programa: No sabemos, pero algo de comics.

In this radical episode of Past Tens: A Top 10 Time Machine, Dave and Milt hop in their DeLorean — flux capacitor fully operational — and set the date for June 16, 1984. They're not just cruising through the Billboard Top 10; they're living it like extras in Footloose. The episode kicks off with a heartfelt and totally tubular tribute to Dave's late father — think The Karate Kid's Mr. Miyagi, but with better dad jokes. From there, it's a parade of parachute pants, popped collars, and personal memories as they discuss the artists who ruled the airwaves: Madonna, Bruce Springsteen, Duran Duran, and Cyndi Lauper — basically the Justice League of 1984 pop. Of course, it wouldn't be Past Tens without a few twists. There's a Playdate Quiz that would stump even The NeverEnding Story's Atreyu, a musical mashup segment that's more chaotic than Gremlins after midnight, and their signature song substitution game — think Indiana Jones swapping the idol for a bag of sand, but with Huey Lewis tracks. Some highlights: 00:54: A heartfelt memorial for Dave's father, complete with more heart than Kevin Bacon dancing alone in a warehouse. 08:33: Pop Culture Highlights: Ghostbusters hit theaters, Purple Rain was on the horizon, and nobody put Baby in a corner (yet — Dirty Dancing was still a few years away). 15:22: Countdown kicks off — Night Ranger's “Sister Christian” taught us all what "motoring" really means (spoiler: it's not what your dad thinks). 38:01: Musical Mashups — imagine Footloose meets Thriller but performed by the cast of Revenge of the Nerds. 39:22: Laura Branigan's “Self Control” — the unofficial soundtrack to sneaking out past curfew in 1984. 44:54: Huey Lewis reminds everyone that the heart of rock and roll is still beating — even if it's wearing leg warmers. 59:33: Steve Perry's “Oh Sherrie,” a ballad so powerful it could get E.T. to phone home twice. 01:19:50: Cyndi Lauper's “Time After Time” — guaranteed to make even the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man misty-eyed. 01:23:15: Cyndi's legendary ties to the wrestling world — she could literally have body-slammed a Goonie. Milt also teases his upcoming trip to Africa, though we're unclear whether he'll be traveling by Toto song or Temple of Doom bridge. It's a journey that's equal parts nostalgia, musicology, and a John Hughes movie montage. Crank up your Walkman and join the ride — just don't feed Milt after midnight.

Vor über 40 Jahren lief der erste KARATE KID Film im Kino und zeigte uns das Duell von Miyagi-Do Karate gegen Cobra Kai in Form von Daniel LaRusso gegen Johnny Lawrence. Danach gab es noch einige weniger erfolgreiche Nachfolger und ein finanziell sehr erfolgreiches Reboot, welches aber nicht die besten Kritiken erntete. Danach war es dann lange Jahre still um das Thema KARATE KID.Bis man mit COBRA KAI das Franchise wiederbelebte, die Figuren in die Neuzeit holte und die Geschichte weitererzählte. Basierend auf dem riesigen Erfolg der Serie entschloss man sich zudem die Reihe zurück ins Kino zu holen mit KARATE KID: LEGENDS. Onno und René klären, ob sich der Kinobesuch für euch lohnt, wieso sie COBRA KAI auch für SO gut halten und wie es generell mit Ihrer Haltung zu dem Franchise aussieht. Also rein in den Gi für die neue Episode von Ruhe im Saal!——

This is also the fourth week for our ongoing Project Superman, wherein we watch every single live-action theatrical Superman movie.

On tonight's episode of Long Road to Ruin, Mark Radulich, Pat Mullin and Sean Comer crane kick their way through The Karate Kid Trilogy. We chart the evolution of Daniel LaRusso's journey from underdog in the original 1984 classic to his increasingly strained arcs in Parts II and III. The first film captured lightning in a bottle with a perfect mix of heart, mentorship, and underdog triumph. Part II expanded the scope with an Okinawa-set story that deepened Mr. Miyagi's character but lost some of the first film's spark. By Part III, the charm was wearing thin, the stakes felt forced, and Daniel-san's journey hit a wall of diminishing returns. Join us as we wax on and off about what made this trilogy iconic—and where it started to fall apart.Disclaimer: The following may contain offensive language, adult humor, and/or content that some viewers may find offensive – The views and opinions expressed by any one speaker does not explicitly or necessarily reflect or represent those of Mark Radulich or W2M Network.Mark Radulich and his wacky podcast on all the things:https://linktr.ee/markkind76alsohttps://www.teepublic.com/user/radulich-in-broadcasting-networkFB Messenger: Mark Radulich LCSWTiktok: @markradulichtwitter: @MarkRadulichInstagram: markkind76RIBN Album Playlist: https://suno.com/playlist/91d704c9-d1ea-45a0-9ffe-5069497bad59

Henson, Empire, Hidden Figures) to China, he becomes the target of a ruthless kung fu academy bully, Cheng.

Daniel LaRusso (Ralph Macchio) and his mother (Randee Heller) move from New Jersey to Reseda, CA , to start a new life.  It seems promising at first, but soon Daniel hates his new environs, thanks to a few run-ins at school with a group of karate-trained bullies.  He does manage to irk the leader of the bullies, Johnny (William Zabka), when he starts seeing his ex-girlfriend, Ali (Elisabeth Shue).  Johnny and gang belong to a no-holds-barred karate school in town that has a slogan of "no mercy", run by ex-Vietnam vet John Kreese (Martin Kove).  After the landlord of Daniel's apartment complex, Mr. Miyagi (Pat Morita), saves him from the gang one day, he decides to teach the young man some karate, except in the ways of the honored Japanese tradition.  Miyagi and Kreese form a pact that Daniel is to be "off limits" until the day of the big karate tournament in town, where the different styles of karate come to clash, but Daniel is far from ready for the match.  With help from Miyagi, he prepares every day for the event, but he finds the teaching methods unorthodox, monotonous, and strenuous.

Cobra Kai is an American martial arts comedy drama television series created by Josh Heald, Jon Hurwitz, and Hayden Schlossberg, and distributed by Sony Pictures Television. It serves as a sequel to the original The Karate Kid films created by Robert Mark Kamen.[1] The series premiered on May 2, 2018, and concluded on February 13, 2025, after six seasons consisting of 65 episodes.The series stars Ralph Macchio and William Zabka, reprising their respective roles as Daniel LaRusso and Johnny Lawrence from the film series, alongside Courtney Henggeler, Xolo Maridueña, Tanner Buchanan, Mary Mouser, Jacob Bertrand, Gianni DeCenzo, Peyton List, Vanessa Rubio, and Dallas Dupree Young. Martin Kove and Thomas Ian Griffith also reprise their roles from the films as part of the main cast, with many others returning in guest or recurring roles.Cobra Kai re-examines The Karate Kid films as Johnny's "redemption story,"[2] beginning with his decision to reopen the Cobra Kai karate dojo, and the rekindling of his old rivalry with Daniel.[3] The series attained high viewership on both YouTube and Netflix, and received critical acclaim for its writing, performances, action sequences, humor, character development, and faithfulness to the films. It received numerous awards and nominations, with the third season being nominated for Outstanding Comedy Series at the 73rd Primetime Emmy Awards.Thirty-four years after being defeated by Daniel LaRusso in the 1984 All-Valley Karate Tournament at the end of The Karate Kid (1984), Johnny Lawrence suffers from alcoholism and depression. He works as a part-time handyman and lives in an apartment in Reseda, Los Angeles, having fallen far from his wealthy lifestyle in Encino. He has an estranged son named Robby, from a previous relationship, whom he has abandoned. In contrast, Daniel is now the owner of a successful car dealership and is married to co-owner Amanda with whom he has two children: Sam and Anthony. However, Daniel often struggles to meaningfully connect with his children especially after his friend and mentor Mr. Miyagi passed away prior to the series' beginning.After using karate to defend his teenage neighbor Miguel Diaz from a group of bullies, Johnny agrees to teach Miguel the way of the fist and re-opens Cobra Kai. The revived dojo attracts a group of bullied social outcasts who find camaraderie and self-confidence under Johnny's tutelage. The reopening of Cobra Kai reignites Johnny's rivalry with Daniel, who responds by opening the Miyagi-do dojo, whose students include Sam and Robby, leading to a rivalry between the respective dojos.Pre

[Editor's note: The following contains spoilers through the series finale of Cobra Kai.]From the moment I met Mary Mouser during the earliest stages of Cobra Kai's run on YouTube, one thing was abundantly clear - this is a wildly talented artist who pours her whole heart into her work and is quite excited to talk about the extensive amount of thought and care she puts into it. That immediately made her an interviewee I'd keep chasing and now, seven years later, not only have we had many wonderful press day conversations, but Mouser has officially become our second Collider Ladies Night three-time guest.On top of that, that great care and attention to detail Mouser has when tackling her work makes her an optimal fit to play the Cobra Kai character with an especially mature and nuanced arc throughout the show's six-season run. At the start of Season 6, Part 3, Sam LaRusso and the other Miyagi-do fighters think the Sekai Taikai is over. When that changes, Sam is put in an especially complex situation. Not only would she have to face off against her friend, Tory (Peyton List), but she'd be doing so for nothing in the grand scheme of things because of Miyagi-do's extreme point deficit. Sam opts to quit, a choice that, more often than not, is frowned upon on screen, and in life. However, courtesy of strong writing and development from Cobra Kai's Big 3, Jon Hurwitz, Josh Heald and Hayden Schlossberg, and Mouser's dedication to understanding and justifying the choice from the character perspective, Cobra Kai manages to recontextualize what it means to quit.During her third appearance on Collider Ladies Night, Mouser looks back on some early Cobra Kai scenes that set the foundation for Sam to be able to make such a choice, she discusses where things land for Sam and her father, and also for Sam and Miguel, and she explains what Cobra Kai means to her and her character after six seasons.

Wax On Wax Off #RTTBROS #Nightlight The Wax On, Wax Off of Scripture "But strong meat belongeth to them that are of full age, even those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil." - Hebrews 5:14 Much like young Daniel LaRusso in The Karate Kid, we often find ourselves questioning the seemingly mundane tasks before us. Daniel spent days waxing cars, painting fences, and sanding floors - activities that appeared disconnected from his desire to learn karate. His frustration grew with each repetitive motion, unaware that Mr. Miyagi was ingeniously building muscle memory for fundamental karate moves. The Old Testament can feel similarly perplexing. As we read through lengthy genealogies, detailed ceremonial laws, and ancient battles, we might wonder, "What does this have to do with my Christian walk?" Yet, just as Daniel's apparently meaningless chores were actually martial arts training in disguise, these Old Testament passages lay crucial groundwork for understanding God's grand narrative. Consider the tabernacle instructions in Exodus, painstakingly detailed down to the last cubit and thread. At first glance, they might seem irrelevant to modern Christianity. However, when we reach Hebrews, these details suddenly illuminate profound truths about Christ's role as our High Priest and the significance of His sacrifice. "For the law having a shadow of good things to come, and not the very image of the things, can never with those sacrifices which they offered year by year continually make the comers thereunto perfect." - Hebrews 10:1 The Old Testament serves as our "wax on, wax off" training. Each story of redemption, each prophecy, and each law builds our spiritual muscles for recognizing God's character and His plan of salvation. When we finally reach the New Testament, these foundational movements snap into focus, revealing their true purpose in Christ. Just as Mr. Miyagi knew the value of building proper fundamentals before teaching advanced techniques, God in His wisdom gave us the Old Testament as essential preparation for understanding the fullness of Christ's ministry. The patient study of these ancient texts develops our spiritual discernment, allowing us to better grasp the deeper truths of the New Testament. "Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me." - John 5:39 Let us approach the Old Testament with renewed patience and trust, knowing that like Daniel's seemingly pointless tasks, these scriptures are carefully designed to prepare us for deeper understanding. Each reading strengthens our spiritual muscles, readying us for the moment when, like Daniel's revelation about Mr. Miyagi's methods, we see how it all connects to Christ.
