Anyone who grew up in the 80s will be able to do something with «apply, polish». Probably the best-known quote from the film "The Karate Kid", which resulted in several moderately successful sequels and a remake, has now been revived as a series. The series tells what became of the protagonists and original actors and has become a real surprise hit on YouTube. Watch the first two episodes here!

When “Cobra Kai” was announced in the middle of the previous year, the response was muted. Many doubted whether the concept, which was so successful at the time, can be brought into modern times or whether it can be passed on. Since the beginning of May, the series has been available on a "channel" that has so far hardly played a role in the business of fictional productions such as series: YouTube Red. How Variety reported, the market research company Parrot Analytics has calculated that "Cobra Kai" in the period between May 6 and 12, the competition from Netflix (including "13 Reasons Why" and "Arrested Development") and Hulu ("The Handmaid's Tale) on the could refer places and that too clearly. It's the first time that YouTube Red, which previously had to be ranked in the "Under Also Running" category, has achieved such success.

Josh Heald («Hot Tub Time Machine») and «Harold & Kumar» creators Jon Hurwitz and Hayden Schlossberg are the writers and producers behind «Cobra Kai». The cast also includes Xolo Maridueña as one of Johnny's students, Miguel, who is bullied at his school. Courtney Henggeler ("Mom") plays Daniel's wife Amanda, while Mary Mouser ("Freakish") plays daughter Samantha.

The old mentor Mr. Miyagi would certainly not be happy with how Daniel (Ralph Macchio) and Johnny (William Zabka) have developed 30 years after their meeting in "Karate Kid". Daniel can still pedal first class, as he likes to demonstrate at his workplace, the car dealership, but his life no longer has the right balance. Johnny, who once bullied Daniel and then lost to him in the karate tournament, burned down and drinks too much.

"Dravens Tales from the Crypt" has been enchanting for over 15 years with a tasteless mixture of humor, serious journalism - for current events and unbalanced reporting in the press politics - and zombies, garnished with lots of art, entertainment and punk rock. Draven has turned his hobby into a popular brand that cannot be classified.

My blog was never designed to spread news, let alone get political, but with current affairs I just can't help but capture information here that is otherwise censored on all other channels. I am aware that the design page may not seem "serious" to many in this regard, but I will not change this to please the "mainstream". Anyone who is open to non-state-compliant information sees the content and not the packaging. I've tried enough to provide people with information over the last 2 years, but quickly noticed that it never matters how it's "packaged", but what the other person's attitude towards it is. I don't want to put honey on anyone's mouth to meet expectations in any way, so I'll keep this design because hopefully at some point I'll be able to stop making these political statements, because it's not my goal to go on like this forever ;) I leave it up to everyone how they deal with it. However, you are welcome to simply copy and distribute the content, my blog has always been under the WTFPL license.

It's hard for me to describe what I'm actually doing here, DravensTales has become a culture blog, music blog, shock blog, tech blog, horror blog, fun blog, a blog about found items on the internet, internet bizarre, trash blog, art blog, water heater, zeitgeist blog over the years , Scrap blog and grab bag blog called. Everything that is right ... - and yet not. The main focus of the blog is contemporary art, in the broadest sense of the word.
