Mouseion #004 Fr Shiryl Mathai - ANTI-THEOLOGY: The Cobra Kai Rabbit Hole

ANTI-THEOLOGY episodes: I am joined by Fr. Shiryl Mathai, a priest of the Malankara Archdiocese of the Syriac Orthodox Church in North America serving the Philadelphia, Pennsylvania area. As an Orthodox Christian priest, Fr. Shiryl is often inclined to give wisdom or a caring word when he speaks. However, when he enters the Mouseion, he is forbidden from doing so in episodes that we refer to as Anti-Theology. Instead, Fr. Shiryl will reflect on old school topics with Professor Wingert as dictated by flow.

In this episode of the Mouseion, Fr. Shiryl and I reflect on the relationship between Cobra Kai and the Karate Kid films from the perspective of those who first saw the Karate Kid films when they first came out. We also discuss how getting lost in an online rabbit hole like 90s based Houston hip-hop can serve as way in which young people today can rediscover the forerunner films to popular series today.
