What other movie or show....


....should get the Cobra Kai treatment? And by this I mean...a nostalgia revisit of characters you grew up with, stepping back into their characters as adults?

The concept to revisit the Karate Kid characters as adults, 35 years later, has been great nostalgic fun. Quite brilliant. What movie/show is next? Or....is this a concept to be used SPARINGLY....so as to avoid remake/reboot burnout??

"trainspotting" would have been fun, if it was better done than the sequel movie (t2 trainspotting).

The Warriors.

The Outsiders.

How about....

The Breakfast Club

It would be fun to have a 10 episode mini season...where we learn that those 5 kids ended-up keeping in touch, and come back together for some reason. We learn how each of them ended up....and we learn how their lives/friendships intertwine.

Another one could be Cheers. How fun would it be to revisit those characters, in that bar, in a limited run season of maybe 10 episodes?

I’d love to say Miami Vice as well....but everything was so perfect about that show in its own time and era (the 80’s). Maybe just leave that one alone.

The Warriors!

What would you do with it? Are you thinking a comedy/camp angle? Those guys are all old geezers now.

I would have Swan living in the suburbs with Mercy, enjoying life until Ajax shows up to torment them.

Swan would then get in touch with the former members and take out the trash.

Breakfast Club would be cool too, and set at the same school.
