Cobra Kai: Behind The Scenes Secrets Of Season 4

Posted by

The Karate Kid has become a bit of a cultural touchstone, making it almost impossible for people trying to wax a car to get through the task without someone relating it to Mr. Miyagi’s classic chore based karate training technique. The classic underdog versus the bully story has become part of the landscape of American culture with lines like “Wax on, wax off” and “sweep the leg” being part of the lexicon. The series that revists Daniel-san and Johnny Lawrence that started on YouTube Red before making its way to Netflix has taken that story and built a series that explores the difficulties of the mentor and student relationship not just for the student but also for the mentors involved. Being less about ‘authentic’ karate and more of a fairy tale built around America’s retail karate world that has studios in strip malls and converted retail spaces across the country, the series has continuity outdone itself bothe exploring the outsized reality suggested by the film series but also by the crazy antics that the mentors and the new batch of students have gotten up to. Naturally that means that filming the series would result in some shenanigans all its own. From backstage pranks to choreography mistakes to Disney tunes, the stories of season 4 are almost as exciting as season 4 itself. What surprises are you looking for in Season 5? The return of Karate Bad Boy Barnes? A visit from someone in the Next Karate Kid?

Dexter: New Blood: 25 Things You Missed

Showtime’s newest hit show has done the impossible. The original series, starring Michael C. Hall, was a beloved series and one of the network’s biggest hits throughout its legendary seven season run. The only problem was that the series finale was regarded as one of the worst ever made. It saw the titular character ride into a hurricane instead of into the sunset. Not only that, but then it showed him inexplicably as a lumberjack in Oregon mere moments later. So for the new series to return us to the character AND actually make the show as lovable as its best days again is no small feat. This has got a lot to do with some of the behind the scenes secrets you may have missed.... Read More | Share it now!

Don’t Look Up: Behind The Scenes Secrets

Posted by

Just when you thought Adam McKay couldn’t get less subtle with his politically charged, big budget comedies… welp, he makes Don’t Look Up, the story of an asteroid heading toward Earth and the humans who can’t help but screw everything up. Spoilers ahead, this video is all about some behind the scenes secrets, facts, and other space junk that you might have missed. For example, probably the most LOL WUT moment in the film comes mid-credits, in a scene where the rich and connected have escaped the destruction of Earth in a spaceship courtesy of Apple/Amazon stand-in BASH, headed by the always perfect Mark Rylance, who plays Peter Isherwell… who essentially dooms us all, in one of the film’s many super on-the-nose moments. The final moment of pure, delectable failure comes thousands of years after the end of civilization, when a percentage of the ship’s pods make it to an Earth-like planet. Earlier on, Meryl Streep’s President Orlean asks Isherwell how she’s going to die – something his computers can nail down with extreme accuracy, although his prognosis for Leo’s Dr. Mindy winds up wrong – and he tells POTUS that she’ll be eaten by a Bronteroc. Upon landing on the planet, President Orlean attempts to pet a beautiful alien creature… and is promptly killed. While the scene itself was developed by Adam McKay, the concept of Bash knowing how people will die came about from improv during the Bash control room scene, prompted by McKay. Streep decided on “I want to know how I’m gonna die” and after a few takes, they settled on the “eaten by a Brontaroc” moment.... Read More | Share it now!
