Netflix released a teaser for Cobra Kai’s 5th season, and it is going to be hot, hot, hot. That is because Terry Silver (Thomas Ian Griffith), who is building Cobra Kai Dojos all of the San Fernando Valley, says he is fire. And Chozen (Yuji Okumoto), who is Danny LaRusso’s (Ralph Macchio) archnemesis turned compatriot, says he is gasoline.
The two rivals are going to go head-to-head, and only one of them will be victorious. Will it be the good guys or the villains? With this series, you never know because we have wound up rooting for the bad ones when they went good.
And that is just one of the many reasons why we love the Karate Kid sequel so much. So mark your calendars because season 5 starts streaming on September 9th.
And my prediction is that the season is going to end in a blaze of glory. As in their final fight will lead to a fire burning down what was Johnny Lawrence’s (Billy Zabka) original Cobra Kai. Burn baby, burn.
Netflix is doing a sequel to That ’70s with Red and Kitty. Therefore, we know that Kurtwood Smith and Debra Jo Rupp will be starring in That ’90s Show.
However, what about the pot-smoking teens who hang out in the basement? Will any of them thirtysomethings be on the show? Now, we know who will be making a guest appearance on at least one of the 10 episodes, and they are Topher Grace as Eric Forman, Mila Kunis as Jackie Burkhart, Ashton Kutcher as Michael Kelso, Laura Prepon as Donna Pinciotti, and Wilmer Valderrama as Fez.
I am hoping that Jackie and Kelso are divorced in the ’90s because it will be interesting to see the couple who is married in real life not be on the sitcom.
If you are wondering why Danny Masterson is missing, then you missed the part where he has been accused by several women of sexual assault.
On May 5th, Mike Myers is back doing what he does best, and that is playing several different roles in one series. Since it has been a long time since he did that, he is going to be making up for lost time in The Pentaverate. The actor will play not one, not two, not three, not four, not five, not six, not seven, but eight new characters in the Netflix comedy.
They are:
Ken Scarborough: An old-school Canadian news journalist who sets out to expose the Pentaverate and win his job back
Anthony Lansdowne: A New England conspiracy theorist, determined to expose the Pentaverate
Rex Smith: A far-right radio host and highly prominent conspiracy theorist
Lord Lordington: The Pentaverate’s oldest and highest-ranking member.
Bruce Baldwin: Former media mogul
Mishu Ivanov: Ex-Russian oligarch
Shep Gordon: Former Rock-N-Roll manager
Jason Eccleston: A tech genius who invented the Pentaverate’s supercomputer, MENTOR
Since it is not a one-man show, he will be joined by Rob Lowe, Jennifer Saunders, Ken Jeong, Keegan Michael-Key, and Debi Mazar throughout the six 30-minute episodes.
It might not be the fourth installment of Austin Powers, but it is a much-needed hold-over until then.
Yeah, baby. We got our baby back, baby back, baby back ribs. Sorry, I had to do it.
Howie Mandel has a new project out on Netflix now, and it is all about bullsh*tting your way to $1 million.
What? Bullsh*t the Gameshow is not your ordinary trivia game show. Yes, the contestants have to answer trivia questions, but they don’t have to get the answer correct. Instead, they have to make one person believe they got it right.
Let me explain it better. Mandel asks the main contestant a question, and they secretly guess the answer out of four multiple choices. Once their response is locked in, they have to explain to three people why they chose the way they did.
They will say something like I picked A because I grew up in Miami, and I remember the ad that mentioned that very fact. However, they grew up in NY and have no idea if it is right or not, so they bullsh*tted my way through the answer. If the contestant was convincing enough, then the three people they asked will believe them. If at least one person believed them, then they get to move on to the next question and money amount. If no one believed them, then they go home a loser.
However, there is one thing that changes that all. Let’s say the guessing Gds were on their side, and they miraculously got it correct. Then they move on, whether any of the three thought the main person knew what they were talking about or not.
So, as I said, they move on to the next money amount if they got it correct or someone believed their BS. The money amount starts at $1,000 and goes all the way to one million dollars. They have the option to lock in an amount just in case they don’t make it to the top prize. This way, they can go home with that locked amount as compared to nothing at all. They can also leave at a dollar amount if they are afraid that the three people are on to the way that they lie.
The three panelists get to explain why they think the person is telling the truth or why they believe they are lying. They explain to the main person what they believe are that person’s tell or how their story is categorically false.
They are also marked on how often they were able to tell if the person was truthful or not. And there is an interesting reason why. That reason is because the most accurate person replaces the bullish*tter. And then they are on the way to try to win the grand prize. So it is a rotating round of contestants.
Wait, it gets even better. Bullsh*t is not like other game shows where there is a winner at the end of each episode. The 10-episodes are basically one long episode. So that means just because an episode ends doesn’t mean the bullsh*tter’s time is over. It continues on like a Soap Opera.
It is a game show made for the binging world. It truly is the first game show that you can binge in one sitting because it is like a 5-hour movie. And I love that concept.
And I also love Howie Mandel in the role of host of this show. You can tell he is having a blast saying bullsh*t as much as possible, and he says it over and over and over again. This showed me and will show you that game shows need more cursing. I mean, I counted him saying it 447 times.
Now, how did I, as a viewer, feel watching this series? At first, I was trying to guess the real answer to the question. Boring. Then I tried to tell if they were bullish*tting us. A little more exciting. And finally, I was like, how could I BS my way through the situation. The latter was the most exciting.
So if you like learning trivia, you will learn a lot. I know I learned a lot, but I have a lot to learn, like the correct way to pronounce Dr. Suess’ name. If you want to learn how to detect a BS artist, you will learn that t0o. But the thing you will learn the most is that game shows can be fun again.
But then again, I could be BSing you with this whole post. There is only way to tell, and that is to watch Bullsh*t the Gameshow on Netflix now.
John Wayne Gacy was one of the scariest serial killers of all time. From 1972 to 1978, he was literally getting away with murder because he was targeting teenage boys. Whenever their parents would go to the police, they would be told that their son had run away. Therefore, they didn’t look for him.
However, cops became suspicious of John Wayne Gacy, who portrayed himself as a model citizen, so they began to track him. Then they got a lucky break, and they finally caught him. Well, actually, they found the bodies of 29 young men and boys under his house.
After he was arrested, his lawyers recorded their conversations. These tapes have been released to director Joe Berlinger for the first time, and he turned them into Conversations with a Killer: The John Wayne Gacy Tapes, which is streaming now on Netflix.
While that is haunting enough, we also hear from the cops who arrested him and looked into the case as they describe all the horrors they found in the Gacy house. However, they have nothing on the families who lost loved ones nor the few who were lucky enough to get away.
To me, hearing from them is scarier than hearing from Gacy, who is completely calm on the tapes. He talks about it like we talk about what we did during an average day.
However, that is not the scariest part of the 3-part series. That part comes at the end. One person says something that makes me think he is almost as sick as Gacy. I could not believe that anyone could feel that way. But he did and admitted it on camera more than once.
I would tell you what it is, but you have to watch to be just as shocked as I was. But, I come from a different mentality than he does. And thankfully, not that many people feel the same way. If they did, the world would be an even more messed up place.
Another thing that I found interesting is that not all of the bodies have been identified. In 2011, detectives dug up the bodies of eight unidentified victims to test their DNA. Since then, they have identified two more victims. If you know a young man who went missing near Chicago in the mid-’70s, then reach out to Cook County Sheriff’s office.
