As I mentioned on the previous Josh Gad videos, one of the better parts of everyone being in quarantine is that celebrities aren’t too busy to say no to doing interviews, and more importantly having reunions online, since no one has to leave the house. Earlier this year, Gad, who had already famously got some of the biggest names in Hollywood to troll Daisy Ridley about STAR WARS secrets for online entertainment, trumped them all with a new online show of sorts called “Reunited Apart”, and his big premiere episode brought back together the entire principal cast of THE GOONIES, along with key crew members and even Steven Spielberg and Cyndi Lauper. Then he did it again with the cast of BACK TO THE FUTURE, or at least most of them. Then he did it again by bringing together the cast and crew of SPLASH for another entertaining gathering. Then he outdid himself by bringing back pretty much EVERYONE from THE LORD OF THE RINGS: THE FELLOWSHIP OF THE RING. I think my personal favorite was him bringing the original GHOSTBUSTERS cast back together, minus a few familiar faces, and then he assembled the cast for FERRIS BUELLER’S DAY OFF, or at least most of them. Just a few weeks ago he even reassembled the WAYNE’S WORLD cast and crew, including every musician and singer who played a part in the film. Now Gad has once again delivered some quality reunion time with the cast and crew of the KARATE KID trilogy, and COBRA KAI, including Ralph Macchio and William Zabka (of course), but also Elisbeth Shue and trilogy writer Robert Mark Kamen, and almost ALL of the supporting cast, including stars from the sequels to boot. It’s a very eclectic mix of cool names, and some faces you haven’t seen in a while, complete with stories from behind-the-scenes, and some line readings that should put a smile on your face. I love that Gad is doing these, it’s a rare opportunity to celebrate a fan-favorite film, and these reunions are very unlikely to happen out in public… trust me, working in the convention world, I know.
