Jason Connell: 8:16:09

Whoa, just curious. Welcome to Just curious media. This is let's talk Cobra Kai. I'm Jason Connell and I'm without one Salvador Rodriguez. That is because I am currently on vacation in Florida West Palm Beach to be exact. And I don't know if you can see behind me if you're watching on YouTube Live, it's a little bit washed out, but that is the beach and the ocean. And I'm enjoying myself revisiting sun and warmer weather. Now that I'm a New Englander. But this is a Saturday episode. It's a tribute episode to Tom Sizemore a incredibly gifted character actor who passed away on March 3 2023. At 61. I was tracking his health for the last couple of weeks, he had a brain aneurysm and his home was rushed to the hospital was living on life support for the last couple of weeks and his family got the news that it was not going to turn around unfortunately, and put affairs in order and he was pronounced dead March 3. So I wanted to kind of do this episode rather than waiting to get back because I'm a huge and have been a huge Tom Sizemore fan since he came on my radar. And let me give you a breakdown of just some of the movies I jotted down because it's an incredible list of great films. Born on Fourth of July, sorry, Born on the Fourth of July Blue Steel point brake passenger 57 Watch it True Romance striking distance Wyatt Earp Natural Born Killers in which he played Detective Jack Scaglietti one of the greatest names in movie history. Heat, which we recently talked about on Let's Talk movies, Saving Private Ryan, huge film, enemy of the state and so many more. Now, what makes it relevant to talk about Tom Sizemore on Let's Talk Cobra Kai well, because he's a great actor and really touched all of our lives. But beyond that, he is going to be in season six episode one of Cobra Kai playing JT Taggart. And so who is that character? I have no idea. Is it a detective? Is it a cop? Is he a dojo master? Good guy, bad guy. We have no idea. So the only good news in this podcast is that we get to see Tom Sizemore bless our show, Cobra Kai and come in and be this character now. We're gonna want more and that's the sad news. But maybe they shot a bunch of him and they're gonna put him in more than the first episode. But the first episode does have some of the players in the cast that's going to be in the actual episode itself. I don't know the episode name. I just happened to look up Tom Sizemore when he had this health demise and had the brain aneurysm and then just discovered it like Wait. He's in Cobra Kai, so it blew my mind. And like I said, I was hoping for better news. Unfortunately. It's not to be. I mean, that's life. It's very precious and things happen. And I know that Sizemore had brushes with the law and drugs but he was clean and sober. Last I heard and was thriving and was going to be in lots of new movies coming out I'm sure movies will be coming out post mortem that he's in much like Cobra Kai, but to sad day and I will be revisiting many of his movies rewatching them talking about some on Let's Talk movies. So please join us over there but I just had to come on and do this and I'm sure Sal and I will talk more about Tom Sizemore in his appearance when it actually does air. But really heartfelt condolences to the family friends and rest in peace Tom Sizemore and as always, no mercy
