The Televerse #476- Spotlight on Cobra Kai Season 1

For the first time in recent memory, Noel and Kate promise a short podcast and deliver! Life intervened this episode, forcing us to pare down our discussion and get right to the heart of our viewing. We kick things off with Our Week in TV, starting with the premieres of The Amazing Race and the newly remote Guy’s Grocery Games: Delivery. Then Noel checks in with the first season of Netflix’s The American Barbecue Showdown, we break down “Bread Week” on The Great British Bake Off, and Kate catches up with Lovecraft Country, before we round out the week with the latest delightful DuckTales. Afterward, it’s over to the spotlight section to share our thoughts on YouTube’s Cobra Kai season one, currently available on Netflix. How are Daniel-san and Johnny doing 34 years later, and do we really care? Tune in for our thoughts, then reach out with your own take on Cobra Kai, the week’s TV, and more.

The Televerse #475- Spotlight on Tanner ‘88

It’s been another long week, but admittedly a thin one for TV viewing. We kick off the podcast with Our Week in TV, starting with Kate’s thoughts on The CW premiere of Swamp Thing. Then Noel and Kate dive in with DuckTales’ Halloween episode, Kate catches up with Archer and The Vow, and we round out the week with another deep dive into the latest The Great British Bake Off. Afterward, we head back to the DVD Shelf to talk Tanner ’88, a documentary following the 1988 Presidential campaign of the fictional Jack Tapper. Newly streaming on HBO Max, the series is an interesting experiment in quasi-real time political storytelling and a clear predecessor to The West Wing, and if either aspect sounds intriguing, it’s very much worth your time. Tune in for our reactions, then reach out with your take on the week’s TV, Tanner ’88, and any other recent TV finds.
