Jason Connell: 3:28:18

Welcome to this curious media. This is let's talk Cobra Kai. I'm Jason Connell.

Sal Rodriguez: 3:28:22

And I'm Sal Rodriguez.

Jason Connell: 3:28:24

All right, Sal, we are back for a fun episode. And we've done this before. So

Sal Rodriguez: 3:28:29

yeah, we're having deja vu here

Jason Connell: 3:28:31

having deja vu all over again. Because today we're breaking down Cobra Kai season four. First Look photos.

Sal Rodriguez: 3:28:40

Yes. But speaking of last time, didn't they release then more photos right out of the trailer podcast. Oh, that's what happened that was. So they did it backwards this time. Because before we had the photos in the trailer, this time we had the trailer than the photo.

Jason Connell: 3:28:53

Yeah, they've had more time. This time around last time. They hadn't even been on Netflix yet. You know, season three was the first time it dropped new on Netflix. So yeah, and then the pandemic timeline. So I think they were just kind of, hey, here's some photos. And a couple of days later, here's a trailer. So we were like, Wait, it made our photos episode. So outdated. That's

Sal Rodriguez: 3:29:14

what we thought. Yeah. Kind of it kind of then superseded the photos. Yeah.

Jason Connell: 3:29:19

Well, we most recently broke down season four, episode one. Let's begin the cast because we saw the cast list on IMDb. So it's our one of our more recent episodes. And then as we put that out, I noticed that the firstly photos dropped then it dropped last week. So we can't always do it in real time. Because sometimes we're like three episodes, we're recording and then this happens. So I'm excited to break this down today because some of the stuff we saw in the trailer cell and some of the photos we have not.

Sal Rodriguez: 3:29:51

Yeah, there are some surprises. One I love I love seeing Yes.

Jason Connell: 3:29:55

Have a favorite to do you. Okay, we'll see if it's because I'm pretty sure it's the same one. Okay. Now these are courtesy of Netflix and Entertainment Weekly. And this time, unlike last year, so this is seven exclusive. First Look photos last time, it was eight.

Sal Rodriguez: 3:30:12

Now when you say exclusive, you mean exclusive to People Magazine?

Jason Connell: 3:30:15

I think so I think that's where it comes from. So I like to give credit where credit is due. Sure. So here we go. They even give us a tag like a title. And then we can kind of break down what we see. Yep. So we'll start with the first one. And it says Daniel and Johnny make peace question mark. And of course we see Daniel Russo, Johnny Lawrence and sound pretty sure they're at Miyagi dough, and Johnny has his hand out to shake Daniels hand but Daniel has what in his hand.

Sal Rodriguez: 3:30:45

Daniel is holding, sanding. What do you call those Sanders? Sanders? So what Sam would sand? Yes that you do. What? It's not wax on wax off to sand. It sands sands with what Sanders? Yeah, okay. Okay.

Jason Connell: 3:31:01

I remember he was like, show me send the floor down to try to go down to his knees. Yeah, he's like, no, no, no.

Sal Rodriguez: 3:31:06

Okay, so Daniels holding those wells. Johnny has his hand out to shake it. And you say you think they're at the Miyagi dojo, but the backyard looks like it's a could use it to love and care, you know? Yeah,

Jason Connell: 3:31:15

maybe I'm not sure I'm just making an assumption. But I also liked that Daniel is kind of dismissing the gesture, for some reason, kind of like, maybe he doesn't want to I don't sure what's going on here.

Sal Rodriguez: 3:31:27

It's the look of suspicion. Yeah, I would say,

Jason Connell: 3:31:30

maybe Johnny doesn't want us and Flores. Yeah.

Sal Rodriguez: 3:31:34

Also awkward time. And you know, I'm big on timing. And this is something like I wouldn't go try to shake someone's hand while they're holding something, you know. But of course, leave it to Johnny to not even pay attention and just stick his hand out. But I think I think if anything, this is probably probably the most important photograph of what we've all been hoping for anticipating and that is the unification of Eagle Fang. May be Rest in peace, Eagle Fang and Miyagi dough. Daniel and Johnny, this is the olive branch right here. Yeah, well,

Jason Connell: 3:32:02

well, we've also seen them and Season Three bowing to each other. So I think that they're on the same page, and they don't look upset with one another. You know, it's just kind of comical. I was. Like, if Daniel has these on he is doing some Miyagi dough training, or he's actually sanding the floor. Yeah, literally, I don't know what's happening. And Johnny's like, what do you got there? Or put her here? I have no idea. Yeah, they're on opposite ends, but they're not at odds with each other. They look like they're, it's the odd couple on the same page. Odd Couple. Yeah. They may be on the same page and getting along. But that doesn't mean they're not going to have little Tango and Cash riffs. They're gonna bust each other's chops. That's what you do. Right? That's what they do. So that's the first one. Do you see the photos too, because I could let you say the captions. I don't know if you had that in front of you. I'm happy to do this. The

Sal Rodriguez: 3:32:50

photos are right here. Sure. Okay,

Jason Connell: 3:32:52

so number two.

Sal Rodriguez: 3:32:53

Number two, the kids are as surprised as we are the group shot of

Jason Connell: 3:32:58

at nine students. There's nine students in the shot. Wait a

Sal Rodriguez: 3:33:02

second. 123456789 Yeah, nine

Jason Connell: 3:33:06

Demetri Hawk, Samantha, Bert, Nathaniel, Mitch and Miguel and there's one just above Miguel and I can barely see it and I forget his name.

Sal Rodriguez: 3:33:14

Is that a new kid for season four, I think isn't it?

Jason Connell: 3:33:16

I think I've seen him before but whatever. For there's nine in the frame, they do a good job but sad it looks like they're crammed in a doorway and again, I think Miyagi dough. Yeah, they

Sal Rodriguez: 3:33:25

look like they're gonna get Oh, sure. Yeah.

Jason Connell: 3:33:27

Okay. And he's driving my guests. They're observing Daniel on Johnny bonding. That's my guess

Sal Rodriguez: 3:33:32

what? Okay. Okay. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, I don't know what else they would be looking at. But yeah, conversation with Daniel and Johnny. Of course, they're not too subtle. They're clear as day trying to spy but yeah, there they are. It's a real cute, you know, this is a very cute group shot and you know what this reminds me of? And I'm going to date myself. Yeah, this reminds me of an old picture of The Little Rascals or our gang. Yes. Because it's a very shall Falfa

Jason Connell: 3:33:56

Yeah, yeah. Buck we Yeah, absolutely. Well, if Daniel or Johnny look over, there's no way on nine can hide. Yeah. They're gonna get busted. So their spine cutely? Yeah, good call. All right, you'd be the announcer

Sal Rodriguez: 3:34:12

for the next photograph. Yeah, keep going. Okay, next photograph number three. A very special kick and yeah, this is I don't know I don't know if I take back what I said when I said that other photograph was supporting this and I really

Jason Connell: 3:34:25

liked this. I wasn't thinking about this one because we've seen this we saw this on the trailer. We know that Johnny and in this photo in particular, he is in the Crane Kick pose. While Daniel is in full Miyagi baseball gear.

Sal Rodriguez: 3:34:39

See but look at the background look how manicured Miyagi dough is so that that other shot

Jason Connell: 3:34:44

maybe they had to clean it up again. Maybe he got ransacked again, maybe Chris sent the minions over and they knock things around like they did in previous episodes.

Sal Rodriguez: 3:34:52

Because this looks really great. This looks very inviting of man. eautiful manicured landscape. Look at that map. Look how soft and clean that mat is. This looks like a really cool place to train. And on top of that, we have Johnny doing the crane. That is crazy.

Jason Connell: 3:35:07

And do you think that's Miyagi actual baseball outfit from the Karate Kid?

Sal Rodriguez: 3:35:12

I think oh, you know what? I forgot about the chest protector. He has the chest protector at the hole and ask yes. Wow. I would say so. Yeah, because especially that chest protector. It has one of those would like a Korean War era look like something from like between World War Two and Vietnam somewhere in that era.

Jason Connell: 3:35:29

Exactly. I love it. I love seeing it. I'm sure Dan has this like alright, we get it. Yeah, doing the crane witness party had Miguel do the crane and Cobra Kai. Understood. Can we just give it a rest? And date? Johnny's a good sport. He took the crane to the head last he would have been a three time champ so good on him.

Sal Rodriguez: 3:35:52

Jason, can I just toot our own horn or give a little shout out to our previous episode where we talk about Darrell the doll. Darrell the doll such as when you listen to this episode, you're going to hear what a foundational figure he is in the Miyagi dough verse and the Cobra Kai verse and particular as it relates to the crane. Listen to our Darrell Vidal episode. Pay attention when we talk about the crane and your mind will be blown.

Jason Connell: 3:36:19

Yes. And just to be clear, Darryl muddles real life name is Daryl the doll. So cool. It's a good day. It is a legend. Okay, let's move on to number four.

Sal Rodriguez: 3:36:34

Number four. And here we are Jays. Number.

Jason Connell: 3:36:37

This is your favorite. Oh, okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Yeah, because,

Sal Rodriguez: 3:36:41

I mean, okay. Number four enemies plot. And we have a two shot of John crease and Terry Silva. And here's why this is really significant to me. They're eating in an elegant restaurant. Very

Jason Connell: 3:36:55

posh restaurant. Yeah. High end. High end.

Sal Rodriguez: 3:36:58

Okay, Jason. I don't think we've ever seen Terry silver with his hair down.

Jason Connell: 3:37:04

Yeah, loving this. Wow. He's

Sal Rodriguez: 3:37:06

got silver last man. Yeah, he has some

Jason Connell: 3:37:09

lot. He looks great. And so do you think that they're going to choose an LA landmarks spot? Of course we know this is going to be shot in Atlanta or was shot in Atlanta, but with a given homage to some cool establishment in LA. You know what I mean? Will it be Musso And Frank's or will it be the Dresden or or will it be some benign thing? We don't know?

Sal Rodriguez: 3:37:32

No. That's a very good point. I think that if they want to keep that there's that hometown love that. Yeah. So attached to the original Karate Kid, and then has then now gone into the Cobra Kai universe, because they still recognize Encino they still recognize North Hollywood receita Yeah, so yeah, that's a very good point. So now I really want to pay attention to where are Korea went that shot? Yeah. Where are they eating here? What are they talking about? What are they scheming about and

Jason Connell: 3:38:03

plot but it looks like these two know times past it also, like they're just having a conversation in Yeah, maybe it's the Cobra Kai plan and they reveal all these things. At the same time. It's like two buddies that have not missed a beat. Yeah, it's what it looks slot. Yeah. And that's what happens with old friends, old friends. I mean, now we know the backstory of these two. They have a lot of history. Yes, yes. So I am anxious just to see as a fly on the wall. What do they talk about? What do they do when they're not being? The biggest jerks in the world in the Cobra Kai Karate Kid universe, but very interesting. So, your favorite in the book? It's my

Sal Rodriguez: 3:38:40

favorite. I love. Okay, I'm probably most jazzed up about seeing Terry silver and season four. Like yeah, like that's the thing I'm most jazzed up about. Like, I'm very excited to see Terry silver. So far. These little teases. I'm loving it. Yeah, I'm dying to know what their plans are. And I'm hoping for the at least cameo by Mike Barnes. Maybe maybe the you know, the speculation. I think once you get into the Terry silver thought you think maybe Mike Barnes maybe. Okay. But anyway, yeah, I love the shot. I want to know where this restaurant is. Mean. And, oh, I'm so dying for the season. Seriously, if you can

Jason Connell: 3:39:16

bring back Luna, from the credit card part to the girl he saves? Yes, yes. Yes. From the bring her back this small roll. You can bring Mike Barnes back. And you don't have to make a big hubbub about it. Bring him back and like oh my god, there's Mike Barnes. You know, it's not like Terry silver bringing him back. So I think that now that we have Terry silver back, he brought out lay back about chosen back you back. Can we go back? Yes. Mike Barnes. You heard it here. First. We'll be back at some point this season. My prediction we will use

Sal Rodriguez: 3:39:46

at some point this season. You believe some point is

Jason Connell: 3:39:47

my prediction. Yeah. You wouldn't wait on it is not like Julie from next credit kid. He's not a two time Oscar winner where it's like, hey, that'd be that could happen. But that's a bigger ask. Bring Mike Barnes back. He could just be in passing. Hey, listen, if I'm gonna go there, bring Friday Fernandez back bring Terrell window back. But I said it here. I believe Mike Barnes will make an appearance this season. If I know these show runners. I think it's gonna happen.

Sal Rodriguez: 3:40:16

I think if it does happen, it'll happen at the end of season four. And Mike Barnes will lead us into season five. I think that's what probably happened. Yeah. But you know what, thanks to Cobra Kai, we have more of a clearer perspective on Karate Kid three on why Terry silver, being in his position would sacrifice so much to help. John crease Why would he do such a thing? Go back into the back. There we go. So yeah, they have a long history. So these guys are old road dogs. Yeah, they are. Alright, number five. Number five. No mercy for Tori and Robbie.

Jason Connell: 3:40:55

Now we've seen this in the trailer. Yes, yes. And go ahead. What do we say?

Sal Rodriguez: 3:41:00

I like to think there's romantic undertones. I think especially when in the trailer when you see the couple different angles. I think there's some romantic overtones. So you have Robbie on his back in the middle of the Cobra Kai Dojo on the mat. And you have squatted over him about to deliver a left punch. Tori. Yep. Yeah. Interesting shot.

Jason Connell: 3:41:23

Yeah, she's about to show no mercy to young Robbie and crease is in the background. And he's not about to step in at all. He's letting it play out

Sal Rodriguez: 3:41:34

one of those other people there in the shot. There's three other students standing out there. Maybe he told one of them to put the flags away. But the

Jason Connell: 3:41:40

kids don't put the flags down. Now meanwhile, everyone's in white GIS and white belts.

Sal Rodriguez: 3:41:47

Yes, except for Chris who was in his lap. Long Sleeve black and by the way, that's also extra significant because I don't think we've seen crease in this outfit.

Jason Connell: 3:41:55

I liked that outfit. Idea. It's a long sleeve million a year but yeah, it looks good at it. Yeah.

Sal Rodriguez: 3:42:01

It's fantastic. So Tory would be what we would presently call for you MMA fans, ground and pound ground on Robbie.

Jason Connell: 3:42:09

Yeah, he's about to tap out. So this leads us to number six and my personal favorite. Oh,

Sal Rodriguez: 3:42:18

yes. Okay. This, we got to talk about this.

Jason Connell: 3:42:21

My gosh, I cannot believe this out. I would

Sal Rodriguez: 3:42:25

not recognize them. This is called a father son moment picture six of the seventh. And we have Daniel seated on a couch looking to his left talking to his son Anthony, who I would not

Jason Connell: 3:42:39

recognize on believable. This is Anthony Griffin Santo Pietro, who we've had on the show fan of the show friend of the show, he would say absolutely. And now so he's full grown. I mean, we go a season. He's like this little kid and then he's growing and he seemed a little soccer off it and like, bam, he's a teenager. Like, what the heck yes,

Sal Rodriguez: 3:43:02

yes. Jason. You know what? He had the growth spurt that I never had. Mike, by the way, he looks great. He looks fantastic. Fantastic.

Jason Connell: 3:43:14

And Sal, I have said this in the past I I've said it to Griffin himself. I was always wanting and waiting for Anthony to emerge and join the Miyagi dough family.

Sal Rodriguez: 3:43:29

I think they're hinting here. They're teasing something here. You know what I think so too, it'll be one of those come out of left field things. When we start to see the rise of Anthony,

Jason Connell: 3:43:39

he could be a real wildcard this season. So I really believe it.

Sal Rodriguez: 3:43:44

Look that hair. Oh, my gosh, look at how bad I want that hair. I wish I had hair like that.

Jason Connell: 3:43:49

He was always hilarious in the first season. Yeah. And maybe some of the second then he kind of disappears and he goes and stays at Amanda's parents house or is it camp and this, that, and the other because they had so many people, so many characters, and he's young, and everyone's in this, like, teen role and all these things. And so now, guess what? He's all grown up. And he probably has hopefully I haven't talked to him recently. But he's been practicing martial arts. Or maybe they just hint to him getting involved. And he's set up for season five. This could be the end of season four. We don't know. But we do know. They have to address this. They have to put him in the show. And make him out component. Jason a real component to Jason

Sal Rodriguez: 3:44:29

I've got it here. You ready? Yeah. My boss. Yes. Yes. Anthony fights Mike Barnes son Hello. That's gonna be that will be so awesome. And you know what, like I said, they're always flipping the script. So who knows what's going to happen? I'm telling you, I think that Anthony could be the ace in the hole.

Jason Connell: 3:44:53

Well, I do think he's a wild card. I mean, he did enjoy video game fighting, right. He always had his video games going on. He enjoyed going to all valley the only all Valley we've ever seen on Cobra Kai, and his mother and Amanda had to whisk him away early. And Sam, they all left he wanted to stay or we want him to stay with his father. He was enjoying the butt kicking and the fighting cuz he was this young kid. Well, now he's developed, he's got these genes is Miyagi genes through Daniel, and the Dojo is in the house. And now Miyagi knows a thing. So it's just natural progression that he would aspire to and be in. And he's got no axe to grind. Other than carrying on the family name.

Sal Rodriguez: 3:45:32

Yeah, carrying on the torch. And you know what, Jason and Samantha Of

Jason Connell: 3:45:35

course, too, but of she's caught up in things, you know.

Sal Rodriguez: 3:45:39

So we're not dismissing Samantha whatsoever now, but we're just offering a more significant role for Anthony in the Miyagi versus Don't you think, Jason that he looks like a young macho here? Absolutely. I think he looks like he could legitimately be much yo son in this picture. Yeah. And a young Stallone. Yeah, a little bit of both of them. Yeah. Again, the tie ends that connection between the Karate Kid and Rocky. Folks get into it. I'm telling you, it's legitimate. So that leads

Jason Connell: 3:46:10

us to number seven of seven,

Sal Rodriguez: 3:46:12

seven of seven. Okay, so here's what a new variable would you say? Yeah, the new guy. This is photo seven of the seven. And we have a loan kid walking down the hall, flanked by these other kids who appear to be mocking him and teasing him and laughing and pointing his heads down kind of dejected. Definitely looks like he's being bullied or at least teased and taunted by these other kids.

Jason Connell: 3:46:38

Yeah, way to welcome the new kid Geez. young freshmen probably walking down the hall. Now this is Kenny is his name played by Dallas to pretty young we covered him or mentioned him on that cast episode of season four, episode one. Let's begin because he's one of the new people we don't know yet. Yes. And obviously he's gonna have a role in someone's camp. We're not sure yet. But cool that they're bringing new people in and again, if they can bring new people in, we can bring Anthony along. Because he's been strung along for so long. Let's make him a pivotal part of this. But yeah, cool to see the new guy anxious to see where his alliances take him. Will he be Miyagi dough? Eagle Fang recipes, as you said earlier, or Cobra Kai, but it's obvious that he's going to be in some sort of martial arts camp.

Sal Rodriguez: 3:47:29

Yeah, you can tell that he's a boy who needs something. So is he going to go to the dark side or to the light?

Jason Connell: 3:47:36

I do not know.

Sal Rodriguez: 3:47:37

Speaking of you know who I think could be back or, or why not? Who was the guy who bullied Robbie in Sylmar, juvenile hall. Oh, Shan

Jason Connell: 3:47:47

Shan,

Sal Rodriguez: 3:47:48

I kind of thought, because remember, they kind of made a piece at the end, right? And it did or so it looked like. So I'm wondering if Shawn will be in season four. Because if we're bringing in these new characters, yeah. Why not have some other people come from other seasons, especially somebody like Sean, who seemed to have sort of a reconciliation with Robbie at the end of the tenure in Sylmar?

Jason Connell: 3:48:08

I know snitch. Yeah,

Sal Rodriguez: 3:48:10

there you go. There you go. Yeah, I like that. I like that. So what happens we'll see. We'll see if Shawn comes back. And now we welcome Kenny

Jason Connell: 3:48:17

Yeah. So that's it. That is the first look photos, just a little snippet. I'm sure there are more trailers and things coming. Because it's, you know, it's coming fast, man. We're November now and then all sudden we're going to look up the holidays will be here. And then boom.

Sal Rodriguez: 3:48:34

It's still slated first still slated for December 31. Thanks for now, we'll see. Jason seems to think they could just flip the script and do Thanksgiving bone. I think maybe they could flip the script and do two weeks earlier, which is what the 14th I think Sunday 17th. Okay, so I still got my fingers crossed for the 17th. Jason has his fingers crossed for Thanksgiving. And we'll see. We'll see if it's December 31. I don't know. I mean, I don't know. Do I prefer that?

Jason Connell: 3:49:00

I'm cool with it. And yeah, I should say I'm not sitting here saying it's gonna happen. We were just talking about what ifs and my what if scenario was Thanksgiving, just like joke. If that happened, I'd fall out of my chair.

Sal Rodriguez: 3:49:13

How about this, Jason? Something we haven't considered? Okay. We think about them moving the date forward. What if they?

Jason Connell: 3:49:22

That's a smart move. Move it back.

Sal Rodriguez: 3:49:24

Yeah. What if they're like, oh, we need to delay. And wouldn't that just make us hungrier? Yes. Oh, my God. Wouldn't we be like, Ah, right. We'd be reaching. You know,

Jason Connell: 3:49:34

please. I don't think that's how you appease your fan base.

Sal Rodriguez: 3:49:38

But you know what, they mess with our hands.

Jason Connell: 3:49:41

If we move the date back two months,

Sal Rodriguez: 3:49:44

I mean, just like a week or two like a week I don't think they're ever

Jason Connell: 3:49:47

going to do that. But I couldn't see them mixing it up like a It's Oh, you know what, we haven't said this. We have not said this. They could do Christmas. Now what was the date that rocky fought Drago

Sal Rodriguez: 3:49:59

Christmas. Hello,

Jason Connell: 3:50:02

the parallels hold times.

Sal Rodriguez: 3:50:05

Wow. I'm having my mind blown tonight. I really

Jason Connell: 3:50:08

don't know. But I'm just saying like, I wouldn't be shocked if they mix it up. But what would that be? Oh, Thanksgiving is a bit aggressive. That's so far off. It's so early that I probably not. But you know, we're having fun but

Sal Rodriguez: 3:50:20

Okay, hang on. Jason. One more thing. Since we're this. Since we're walking down this road. What if they don't drop all the episodes at once instead? Drama? Just like one old school? Yes. Cool. Yes. Hulu does

Jason Connell: 3:50:34

this. Yeah. HBO does this. Yeah. Yeah. And you

Sal Rodriguez: 3:50:37

know what? I don't hate on that. I don't for one thing for us. It's wonderful. It's great for us. Yeah, we'd have plenty of time. Hey, listen, folks. We're just trying to consider possibilities and variables. Yeah. Especially dealing with the trifecta. The show runners. Yeah, they're messing with our heads, which we love. They're always surprising us, which is what we love. But hey, we're trying to cut them off at the pass here. Hey, what are you what what are you guys considering here?

Jason Connell: 3:51:03

They're making me get out of my comfort zone sound because I always under promise over deliver. And I went on record a night and vowed to see Mike Barnes. That's not me. These guys copy, go go in and get my own self like, Wait a second. No. I'm like, I just have a feeling that they've got me second guessing things like yeah, knowing these guys will probably do some things like this. Or there's probably some other secrets in store. Like Anthony they put this photo out there. They didn't have to do that. They could have shocked us with dropping Anthony whatever that episode Zen and we all have been floored. Right, like, hold on. Well, that's another thing. That's really him. Because some shows take characters away and replace them with other characters. Right?

Sal Rodriguez: 3:51:44

Why would you say that? You say a new actor playing the same character, the same character?

Jason Connell: 3:51:48

Actor? Yes. So I could see them doing that. Like all the sudden, Anthony is someone else? And we'd be like, Oh, okay, right. But when we see Griffin, if we hadn't seen this photo, we would have been shocked at him and they replace him. Who's this guy? Yeah. But we know better because we kind of followed him. We spoke to him. I looked him up was like I even said to him, Well, you're really going through a growth spurt. Yeah, he's continued that Grossberg because we spoke a year ago. So I would have been floored had they just been like, Oh, hey, Anthony coming in. Let's have a talk. And then he comes in the room and you're like, what? What's happening? But yeah, they've actually let us behind the curtain a little bit. And I kind of give them credit there. I mean, they didn't have to tell us Terry Silver's coming back, but they did. But they they pull some curveballs though. Ollie was like, Nah, no, no, no, no. Boom. So I'm expecting a couple booms. Right. I didn't know Chosun was coming back. I didn't know Kumiko was coming back. So I just think they're holding some things

Sal Rodriguez: 3:52:46

back. Yeah, yeah. They're not gonna what show their cards. What's it called? Now?

Jason Connell: 3:52:50

Not all their cards are going to keep some close to the vest. And there's some in there. I mean, listen, Julie, played by Hilary Swank. She showed up as shocked as I would be. I would also say yep, of course. Right. Because we're expecting the unexpected. Yeah, and that's a

Sal Rodriguez: 3:53:08

good guy. No teas. We've got no teas of mine. Oh, no. No teas, no of jewel

Jason Connell: 3:53:12

none. Now I know the life span of this show is going to go more seasons. So at the same time, they kind of have to like pace themselves, right? I mean, last season we got a lot. That was a big Phil. Yeah, we had Elisabeth Shue we had closure to her storyline. She might even be in episode one because if you listen to our cast episode she's on IMDb for Episode One. Sound. I think it could be a flashback when I'm sure there's so many things speculating. We've never had this much behind this lead into season four. Like we talked about this every episode we do every season we tackle. It's like, oh, yeah, they get longer. There's more stuff. You're just piling on all the old stuff. You got the movies and every new episode. It's like, oh, this happened. Gotta bring that on. Yeah, so it's incredible. Who knew? Who knew we were going down this path now? Yeah,

Sal Rodriguez: 3:53:59

no, that's absolutely right. Jason the well gets deeper. Yeah, yes. episode by episode season by season. Yeah.

Jason Connell: 3:54:07

So wonderful. Look at these photos. And I'm looking for more fun things to drop. As we went our appetite for season four.

Sal Rodriguez: 3:54:16

Yeah, appetite thirst. I'm ready. You are ready. Yeah, I wish we could get the advanced copies I think that would uh, that's all

Jason Connell: 3:54:23

we're missing. So yeah, seem to be on set have our own notes.

Sal Rodriguez: 3:54:27

I would like to be podcasting live from set that would make sense.

Jason Connell: 3:54:30

Yeah. Behind the Glass thing. So we could just be talking and not interrupt them. So that's all I got, man. Great episode. A lot of fun. Yeah. And a lot more in store.

Sal Rodriguez: 3:54:39

Yeah. lots to look forward to lots of excitement. And it's only going to build I believe in the snowball effect. And as we approach the date, oh boy, it's gonna get more exciting.

Jason Connell: 3:54:49
