1. I’m not sure if you’ll be reviewing Batman: Caped Crusader (premiering Aug. 1), but I’d also recommend fellow DC show, My Adventures with Superman (Adult Swim/Max), which is wrapping its 2nd season on Sunday. The two 10-season episodes have been a joy and I’ve liked the different approaches they’ve taken to the Superman mythology.

2. The Acolyte was a huge disappointment and frankly a drag. It has a couple cool cameos though in the finale (one is a deep-cut reference).

3. I know you stopped watching Cobra Kai a while back but it’d make a quick catch-up for your next treadmill watch, as the fight scenes provide the adrenaline needed. It’s completely nonsensical at this point and the only reason I keep watching is that the movie is coming out next year.

Have they ever clarified whether the movie will share continuity with Cobra Kai, though?

The showrunners said it doesn't.

Like I predicted, Macchio kept both productions in the loop so the storylines wouldn't contradict/not make sense. They all take place in the same universe.

I imagine it’ll be acknowledged it in some way since Ralph Macchio is starring in it (who has had a more hands-on approach with the franchise as an adult) and also the release date was delayed so that it wouldn’t premiere before the series finale (with the final season being broken up into 3-parts).

...are we really counting the biggest prequel meme as a deep cut?
