Now, I’m even more excited for the championship fight of the year!
August 13th, 2024 under Nathan's Hot Dog Eating Contest, Netflix. [ Comments: none ]

Forget the Olympics! Forget Mike Tyson vs Jake Paul! Forget Kamala Harris vs Donald Trump! The biggest battle of the year is between Joey Chestnut and Takeru Kobayashi.

On September 2nd, the two competitive eaters will go mouth-to-mouth to determine who is the true hot dog eating champ live on Netflix in Chestnut vs Kobayashi: Unfinished Beef.

This is the first time they have competed together in 15 years.

World Record-Holder for eating 76 hot dogs in 10 minutes, Joey Chestnut has been dominating the Nathan’s Hot Dog Eating Contest for the past eight years. A six-time Nathan’s Hot Dog champion, Takeru Kobayashi is no stranger to professional eating. He brought fame to the sport in 2001 when he won his first Hot Dog Eating Championship by eating double the amount of hot dogs the previous record holder ate, and continued to hold that title for many years. While rumors swirled about his retirement, Kobayashi is here to stay.

This all came about because Nathan disqualified Chestnut for promoting another company’s vegetarian wieners. Nathan’s loss is our gain because this is even better than the annual July 4th ritual.

Thank you, Netflix, for making this happen.

Netflix is discontinuing their original Basic plan 
August 6th, 2024 under Netflix. [ Comments: none ]

When Netflix added its subscription with ads, they discontinued their Basic ad-free subscription for new members. However, they let members who had it, keep it.

Today, I got an email telling me they were discontinuing that plan, and I will be switched to the basic plan with ads on my next billing period. If I want, I can choose to upgrade to one of their other plans.

Well, I don’t! So, in September, I will Netflix & Break Up. Instead if they have something I want to see, I will watch it when I donate platelets at the Red Cross.

Netflix, we had a good thing, but you are not worth watching with ads and too expensive without them.

December 26th will be bloodier than Black Friday
July 31st, 2024 under Netflix. [ Comments: none ]

Don’t overeat and over-drink on Christmas Day because you are going to want to be up early on December 26th. Why? Because that is when Netflix is finally dropping the second season of Squid Game.

Three years after winning Squid Game, Player 456 remains determined to find the people behind the game and put an end to their vicious sport. Using this fortune to fund his search, Gi-hun starts with the most obvious of places: look for the man in a sharp suit playing ddakji in the subway. But when his efforts finally yield results, the path toward taking down the organization proves deadlier than he imagined: to end the game, he needs to re-enter it.

Now that you are all happy, I have some sad news. Netflix has already picked up the Korean drama for a third season. However, it will make like almost all of the contestants and die.

The final season will premiere in 2025.

Hwang Dong-hyuk, Director, Writer, and Executive Producer of Squid Game, wrote a letter to the fans. To see what he wrote, then click here!

Stranger Things are happening at Bath & Body Works
July 17th, 2024 under Netflix. [ Comments: none ]

Stranger Things is filming its final season as you read this, and many of us would love a whiff of what is going on. We can’t get it.

While we can’t get that, Bath & Body Works is letting us get a whiff of four three-wick candles that are inspired by the show starting tomorrow for a limited time.

Steve’s Scoops with notes of vanilla ice cream, golden waffle cone and parlor sprinkles
Inspired by Scoops Ahoy, the ice cream parlor located in Starcourt Mall’s food court where Steve and Robin first met.

Argyle’s Pineapple Pizza with notes of baked pizza dough, juicy pineapple and fresh basil
Inspired by the restaurant chain Surfer Boy Pizza and named after an employee who claimed all ingredients were fresh but the pineapple.

Hopper’s Coffee with notes of roasted coffee grounds, tonka bean and a splash of half and half. Inspired by Jim Hopper, Hawkins Chief of Police, famous for saying “Mornings are for coffee and contemplation” when faced with urgent matters.

Eleven’s Waffles with notes of frozen waffles, maple syrup and melted butter
Inspired by the main character’s obsession with frozen waffles after being introduced to them by her boyfriend, Mike Wheeler, the leader of the group.

This is the second collaboration between the streamer and the scents store. They previously created products inspired by Bridgerton.

Who needs coffee when you have the trailer for Cobra Kai S6
July 1st, 2024 under Billy Zabka, Netflix, Ralph Macchio. [ Comments: none ]

It is a Monday when there is a vacation day in the middle of the week. So I am freaking tired. I need coffee and lots of it.

Or so I thought. After watching the trailer for the first part of Cobra Kai’s final season, I am wide awake. It is a pure adrenalin rush!

With Cobra Kai eliminated from the Valley, our senseis and students must decide if and how they will compete in the Sekai Taikai — the world championships of karate.

Part 1 debuts on July 18, Part 2 comes out on November 28, and we have to wait until 2025 for the final episodes.

I don’t want Cobra Kai to end. Hopefully, we have to wait 34 years for the next sequel to The Karate Kid. I don’t know if Ralph Macchio and Billy Zabka can wait that long.
