Customer Reviews
Overall good podcast
The hosts are fun and knowledgeable about the Miyagi-verse (a term they coined), and their analysis is interesting. The constant random soundbites do get a bit annoying.
You’re better off with “Cobra Guys”
I honestly don’t know why this show exists. It’s basically two nerds in love reading transcripts of “Cobra Kai” episodes. It’s obviously written out in advance and they use the same jokes and catchphrases in every show. Colin (the male host) is particularly annoying and he says “Politifact equals true on that” about every 5 minutes. I’ve sometimes found myself saying “Why am I listening to this?” I’d rather actually watch “Cobra Kai” than listen to these two read a beat for beat transcript of each episode. They also don’t read listener feedback so the show has this “Shut up and listen to us talk” vibe about it. They also drop episodes VERY sporadically…sometimes going months between shows. To boot, they seem to be very proud of this dubious claim that they created the term “Miyagiverse” so you have to hear them drone on about that. This show is what happens when you give two ex high school theater nerds a microphone. If you want a truly fun podcast on all things “Karate Kid” listen to Cobra Guys. That show has a real sense of community, funny and authentic recaps, off season movies reviews, and more laughs than you can count. Do yourself a favor and skip “Are You Karate Kidding Me”. I for one will be unsubscribing.
The Best Cobra Kai Recap Show Around
Meanwhile, back at the LaRusso-Mans, AYKKM continues to be my favorite CK analysis. Colin and Jenny are fun to listen to, and funny! You guys keep me entertained, thank you!!
