Spoilers Follow For Cobra Kai Season 6, Part 2

The Sekai Taikai has emerged as the ultimate goal of both the protagonists and the villains in Cobra Kai. It was revealed that in the universe of The Karate Kid and the Netflix series, the Sekai Taikai is a world karate tournament where dojos from all over the globe come together to test their mettle on the mat. According to Martin Kove's John Kreese, Silver has been wanting to win it ever since the 1980s. And as it turns out, it may have a connection to Pat Morita's Mr. Miyagi as well.

Despite not being well known in the United States, the Sekai Taikai is what Kreese called the biggest tournament in the world. Silver knew in Cobra Kai that if he could enter his dojo and win, hed accomplish his goal of going global. Part of the lofty expectations they...

The Office ran for nine seasons but for many, it ended with Steve Carell’s walk-off. The World’s Best Boss resigned from his job and moved to Colorado with Holly Flax, leaving a question mark on Dunder Mifflin’s fate. Unfortunately, not only did the seat in his office suffer after his exit, but so did the sitcom. While there were some good moments here and there, seasons eight and nine were above average at best.

The Office (2005-13) | Credits: NBC

Last year, Steve Carell visited the Office Ladies, Angela Kinsey and Jenna Fischer, where their reunion resulted in a ton of ‘Office Talk.’ As they reminisced about their time on America’s beloved sitcom, Steve Carell opened up about his decision to walk away from Michael Scott. While his heart was in the right place, we aren’t sure if it worked well in The Office’s favor.

Is Candace Cameron Bure ready to be a grandma soon? After her son, Lev, got married about eight months ago, fans wonder if she is counting down the days to buy the “My favorite people call me grandma” shirt.

Does Candace Cameron Bure Want A Full House?

Candace Cameron Bure is an actress who is best known for her role as D.J. Tanner in the 90s show Full House. The sitcom got eight seasons and was so beloved by fans that it got a spin-off. Therefore, the newer generations got to experience the joys of the series without having to watch Mom’s 90s show.

Full House follows the recently widowed Danny Tanner, who enlists the help of his best friend, Joey Gladstone, and brother-in-law, Jesse Katsopolis, to help raise his three young girls, D.J., Stephanie, and Michelle.

Fuller House takes place much later in the future as the recently widowed D.

Madina Alam was sent home in Episode 5 when Joey chose not to give her or Autumn Waggoner a rose in the latest rose ceremony.

That sends home just one more person involved in the Maria Georgas bullying drama that has taken over The Bachelor since Episode 2.

In Episode 4, Joey sent Sydney Gordon home during a two-on-one date when he chose Maria in an epic moment where an opera singer sang Ave Maria as Sydney made her exit.

Madina mostly escaped The Bachelor viewers’ hate by keeping silent, something she has already addressed since her elimination from the show.

Unfortunately, we still have Lea Cayanan and Jess Edwards among Joey’s final 10 ladies, and they have taken over as the Season 28 villains and haven’t let Maria have any peace yet.

On January 15, 2024, NBC aired Episode 3 of “America’s Got Talent: Fantasy League.” The new spin-off series marks the return of former judge Mel B as she joins Simon Cowell, Heidi Klum and Howie Mandel in a head-to-head competition to mentor an all-star “AGT” act through the season to victory. Terry Crews is back once again for hosting duties.

Over eight weeks of shows, the judges’ Dream Teams of 10 will be narrowed down until only one stands as the newest AGT champion and takes home the $250,000 cash prize. That act will also give their mentor the first coach’s win in AGT history. In the four qualifiers, 10 acts perform with one receiving the week’s Golden Buzzer and five others advancing to the next round based on an audience vote. But who were the best acts from this episode? And did any move forward that shouldn’t have? Below we rank the 10 acts,...

Thanksgiving is officially over, so it's time to march straight into Christmas. If you haven't watched Will Ferrell's endlessly joyful "Elf" yet, you're already behind. This year marks the 20th anniversary of the holiday comedy, which is probably the only bona fide contemporary classic Christmas movie from the 21st century. But don't worry, you still have plenty of time to celebrate. There are plenty of concerts screening "Elf" with a live orchestra playing the score, as well as anniversary screenings in theaters all month. However, if you'd rather celebrate privately, there's a lot of fun to be had at home, thanks to a certain meal kit company.

Hello Fresh is bringing back their Buddy the Elf Spaghetti meal kits, which allows fans to re-create Buddy's concerning spin on spaghetti that incorporates plenty of sugar, which is one of the elves' four main food groups. Last year, the kit included...

If you’d like to see the world’s saddest math equation, just watch “World’s Best.” After being given a lighthearted “equation of me” homework assignment on the first day of school, 12-year-old Prem Patel (Manny Magnus) formulates the following: Prem = (mom + dad) x math + Jerome – dad.” A math whiz still reeling from the loss of his father, Prem proves easy to root for as he navigates adolescence in “7 Days” director Roshan Sethi’s coming-of-age dramedy. But while the Disney+ original ultimately receives a passing grade, it doesn’t exactly ace the assignment the way its protagonist so often does.

Prem’s ostensible nemesis as he prepares for the upcoming Mathlympics competition is fellow math genius Claire (Piper Wallace), who literally haunts his stress dreams and proudly declares that her family “doesn’t celebrate summer” after being asked how she spent the last three months, while his best friend...

Beginning on June 23, World's Best will be available to stream exclusively on Disney+.

Determined to follow in Suresh's footsteps, Prem changes course to find out if he has what it takes to be a rap superstar.

The musical film World’s Best tells the story of a middle school student caught between his two loves: math and hip-hop. World’s Best is a bittersweet story at its core, with its protagonist Prem Patel (Manny Magnus) using music to connect to his late father, who is played by Utkarsh Ambudkar. Ambudkar, a rapper and singer himself, also co-wrote and produced the film.

To fill out the world of World’s Best in between the film’s musical sequences, composers Raashi Kulkarni and Jongnic Bontemps crafted a score that touches on the cultures that influence Prem himself. With Kulkarni a classical pianist and Bontemps a hip-hop and tech aficionado, the score for World’s Best is a multifaceted one that buoys the familial themes at the heart of the film. The pair used unique instrumentation, enlisted TikTok superstars, and even incorporated some of Ambudkar’s vocals to carry the audience through the...

"Riding in cars with high schoolers?!" So dangerous! Disney has unveiled the official trailer for a comedy called World's Best, co-written by and starring actor / rapper Utkarsh Ambudkar. The film is about a young 12-year-old mathematics genius named Prem Patel who discovers his deceased father was actually a great rapper. He immediately sets out to pursue a career as a rap superstar, in addition to continuing to ace math competitions. Newcomer Manny Magnus stars as Prem, and Ambudkar appears as his father Suresh in visions to help him accomplish his dreams and overcome the bullying that is holding him back. The cast also includes Punam Patel, Jake Choi, Max Malas, Piper Wallace, Kayla Njeri, Dorian Giordano, and Kathryn Greenwood. "Dream exponentially" - is the tagline. This has that usual Disney cheesiness, with a cliche "follow your dreams" plot, though it looks like good fun. And the mix of math + rap is amusing.
