Cobra Kai Is What Every Show Wishes They Were

Close Up ·

2022/10/08

We're late to review S5 of Cobra Kai (so we failed to strike first), and we love it (so we failed to strike hard or show no mercy). We'd be terrible students of Cobra Kai but we're avid watchers of their ever-increasing lunacy. Join us on Close Up as we review one of streaming's best shows.FACEBOOK: https://www.facebook.com/ThoughtPlaneTIKTOK: https://www.tiktok.com/@thoughtplanemediaWEBSITE: https://www.thoughtplane.ca/RYAN'S SOCIAL MEDIA

How Batman Hurts DC's Brand
