What will happen in Cobra Kai Season 2? In this episode of Pop Culture on Blast, Justin and Josh discuss their theories and predictions on the upcoming sophmore season. Most of the speculation on Season 2 comes from the teaser trailer. As of this recording, only the teaser trailer was available but now a full length trailer has been released which has revealed more about season 2. The end of the first season hints at the Cobra Kai dojo and Miyagi do coming head to head in a battle of supremacy in the valley. We discuss how we think that will play out in the highly anticipated second season that is set to be released on April 24. Episode Topics (Parts 1 & 2): The Return of John Kreese: At the end of the first season, John Kreese returns. What will his return mean for Johnny Lawrence and Cobra Kai? What will be revealed about his character? Cobra Kai vs. Miyagi Do: The conflict in the show is leading towards a confrontation between these two karate dojos but it is also becoming about two disparate philosophies. Which is the better philosophy and which will be victorious? What Will Happen to Johnny Lawrence in Season 2? Will Johnny accept John Kreese as a sensei and father figure once more? If he does or does not, what will that mean for him and Cobra Kai? Will Samantha and Robby Get Together? Season one suggests a love triangle forming between Samantha, Robby and Miguel. Robby is most certainly attracted to Samantha but is she interested in him? Does she need to be either of them, or does she have a separate path? Ali with an "I": Will Elizabeth Shue return as Ali Mills? There appears to be some interest in her character returning but is it a good idea? If the character does return, how could it be pulled off? How Will Daniel LaRusso Change in Season 2? We feel Daniel’s character doesn’t completely work as a car dealer. Will he leave this life behind and focus on Miyagi Do? What other conflict will enter into his life? Miguel Diaz is the New Bad Guy: Miguel gained confidence and drive in the first season but has he turned to the dark side? If so, how will he be redeemed? Season 2 like Karate Kid Part II? The first season echoed story beats of the first film, so will the second season have things in common with the second film? Will the combat be real??? It certainly seems plausible. Will Terry Silver or Mike Barnes return? Will the villains of Karate Kid III make appearances in Cobra Kai? Although it made s

I'm Josh and I'm Tim. Well guys let's talk about the new Twilight Zone remake reimagining show that they're doing. Is it Jordan Peele Jordan Peele. Yeah. Yo yo. He's this is what the second or third redo of why they think this is the third. [00:00:21] If you don't count the movies are we counting the movie. I think you have to count the movie and technically it be the fourth because the original then the movie and then they did it in like the 90s and 80s they did in the 80s and then in the early 2000s. Yeah. So a fifth of a fifth attempt. OK. And do we put the outer limits on that too. Because that was kind of. [00:00:42] No no no. But what about the Night Gallery. I haven't actually watched an episode of that is that kind of twilight. No idea. Never even heard it. Well I guess we shouldn't touch that. [00:00:51] I think people have said that it's close to Twilight. So like Twilight Zone. Well it's it's own thing. So here we are. A new version of Twilight Zone. Tim do you want to see a new version of Twilight Zone or. Would you rather have seen him just do some sort of other anthology show that's not quote unquote the twilight like a black mirror. Yeah I was going to go there. [00:01:13] Well you know Black Mirror is pretty much like Twilight Zone. That's what I would call it. It's blinded to people. [00:01:19] You know I at first I kind of decided that it is but it is and it isn't. It's because it every episode has a technology specific kind of twist. [00:01:30] Right in black and black mirror. Yeah. [00:01:32] Yeah but I also feel like at least early Twilight Zone episodes not so much later but early ones. There was always the twist you know at the end there was always something you. Oh they're here. You know that guy's a pig man or whatever you know. Or they were on Earth the whole time. Yeah it was. The show's got away from that. It became just sometimes oddball ideas or whatever. But Black Mirror is similar in that sense. I know it gets compared to Twilight Zone a lot but I don't think it's a. [00:02:03] They do have episodes that have a a twist but they are plenty that don't. And they're just an odd concept that has a payoff. So I don't think lumping it in with Twilight Zone is fair. I think it's it's own beast. I th
