Jason Connell (08:16:09):
Whoa, just curious. Welcome to Just curious
media. This is let's talk CobraKai. I'm Jason Connell and I'm
without one Salvador Rodriguez.
That is because I am currentlyon vacation in Florida West Palm
Beach to be exact. And I don'tknow if you can see behind me if
you're watching on YouTube Live,it's a little bit washed out,

(08:16:31):
but that is the beach and theocean. And I'm enjoying myself
revisiting sun and warmerweather. Now that I'm a New
Englander. But this is aSaturday episode. It's a tribute
episode to Tom Sizemore aincredibly gifted character
actor who passed away on March3 2023. At 61. I was tracking

(08:16:53):
his health for the last coupleof weeks, he had a brain
aneurysm and his home was rushedto the hospital was living on
life support for the last coupleof weeks and his family got the
news that it was not going toturn around unfortunately, and
put affairs in order and he waspronounced dead March 3. So I

(08:17:15):
wanted to kind of do thisepisode rather than waiting to
get back because I'm a huge andhave been a huge Tom Sizemore
fan since he came on my radar.
And let me give you a breakdownof just some of the movies I
jotted down because it's anincredible list of great films.

(08:17:37):
Born on Fourth of July, sorry,Born on the Fourth of July Blue
Steel point brake passenger 57Watch it True Romance striking
distance Wyatt Earp Natural BornKillers in which he played
Detective Jack Scaglietti one ofthe greatest names in movie
history. Heat, which we recentlytalked about on Let's Talk

(08:18:00):
movies, Saving Private Ryan,huge film, enemy of the state
and so many more. Now, whatmakes it relevant to talk about
Tom Sizemore on Let's Talk CobraKai well, because he's a great
actor and really touched all ofour lives. But beyond that, he
is going to be in season sixepisode one of Cobra Kai playing

(08:18:25):
JT Taggart. And so who is thatcharacter? I have no idea. Is it
a detective? Is it a cop? Is hea dojo master? Good guy, bad
guy. We have no idea. So theonly good news in this podcast
is that we get to see TomSizemore bless our show, Cobra

(08:18:45):
Kai and come in and be thischaracter now. We're gonna want
more and that's the sad news.
But maybe they shot a bunch ofhim and they're gonna put him in
more than the first episode. Butthe first episode does have some
of the players in the castthat's going to be in the actual
episode itself. I don't know theepisode name. I just happened to
look up Tom Sizemore when he hadthis health demise and had the

(08:19:07):
brain aneurysm and then justdiscovered it like Wait. He's in
Cobra Kai, so it blew my mind.
And like I said, I was hopingfor better news. Unfortunately.
It's not to be. I mean, that'slife. It's very precious and
things happen. And I know thatSizemore had brushes with the

(08:19:28):
law and drugs but he was cleanand sober. Last I heard and was
thriving and was going to be inlots of new movies coming out
I'm sure movies will be comingout post mortem that he's in
much like Cobra Kai, but to sadday and I will be revisiting
many of his movies rewatchingthem talking about some on Let's
Talk movies. So please join usover there but I just had to

(08:19:52):
come on and do this and I'm sureSal and I will talk more about
Tom Sizemore in his appearancewhen it actually does air. But
really heartfelt condolences tothe family friends and rest in
peace Tom Sizemore and asalways, no mercy
