Blew through the fist half of Stranger Things season 4 over the weekend, and I gotta say, I liked it.  I really couldn’t stand the last 2 seasons and was kind of dreading watching this one, but I really enjoyed it.  Maybe it was the multiple references to Fulci’s “The Beyond”, or the liberal use of Kate Bush.  I hope it ends on a high note.

Season 2 was bad, 3 was better because it got a little more adult.

This season is straight fire son. That episode with the Kate Bush sequence, the sequence was actually really good even with heavy cgi.
That episode also managed to have one of the best shootout scenes I've seen in any media and they did it all in one shot just to show their talent.

From someone who really was skeptical, ST is probably one of the best produced series/tv shows of all time. Top to bottom.

It was clear watching season 4 that that's where all of Netflix money goes. It's about a thousand times better than all their other shoes combined. Feels like they maybe did more than one draft writing. Altho splitting up a season....geht fukt

I'm just happy that "bald eagle" Murray Bauman is back.

I have no reason to think this and I'm not even gonna look it up, but I almost get the opposite sense that they are more hands off. I think the music and style was very original at the time, especially that title theme. I remember seeing just memes in the font not even knowing about the show. Watched just the intro credits and was like, got damn! That's exactly the tone and feel I love in movies and music.. and I'm a picky bastard.

I really dug season 1 ST, but 2&3 dragged ass, 3 especially. I tried episode 1 season 4, and it was better than anything from season 3. Still not sure I want to invest time/brain space

it’s worth it. the ending was unexpected.

also just started the sex pistols show on hulu, shits so good so far. all the actors played the band perfectly

MY FINGERS ARE LIKE ARROWS 

I’m in love with this show lmfao, I’ve enjoyed every season but this new one is by far my favorite. It’s so fucking scary and I’m actually worried about who is going to die.

Not Netflix, but "George Carlin's American Dream" on HBO Max is an excellent watch for any Carlin fans.

I read all his books, and his I listened to his specials on my iPod while driving before podcasts were a thing, so it was a fascinating docuseries for me. Really interesting/sad learning more about his personal life.

Highly recommend, especially part two.

i've loved all of the seasons of Stranger Things, but i see what everyone is saying about this new season--it's palpably heavier (everyone's older of course, but it's also moving into an especially crazy time in American/world history) and in addition to what people have said above about being worried for characters' lives, how the fuck did they manage to make a small group of high-school athletes so fucking ominous?

seriously though, last night i just finished episode 4 ("Dear Billy"), and it completelyknocked me on my ass--the Kate Bush song and Max fighting/running for her life was the most beautiful and gnarly moment in the whole series to date...one man's opinion...

That shoot out was crazy good. Felt massively real.

In DnD lore, Vecna is killed by a vampire and someone just got bitten by a bat whilst in the Upside Down, so...maybe there's something there. Maybe not.

Finally watched it. That Kate Bush scene (its used multiple times, but everyone knows which one I'm talking about) was amazing. Although, whenever I hear that song I immediately think of Nick Jensen's part in 11th hour.

season 4 is really dope so far now that the kids are older and if watched prior seasons the gore level was upped and enjoyed the gulag references every hopper scene was my fav.   I will say they do overuse people saying shit all the time kind of annoying, i get the kate bush reference, but really dont like her singing…kind of ruined the scene for me a bit

You don't like Kate Bush? It's not the scene but the rest of your life that's ruined.


Don't know if on Netflix in whatever countries but British comedy "the witchfinder" only 6 20ish min eps won't die laughing but enjoyable if you're a bit of a nerd. Tim key (from various Alan Partridge shows) daisy may Cooper (this country) and a ton of other British comedy actor cameos.

Finally watched The Harder They Fall. Westerns along with heist movies never get old. Fantastic music with plenty of action. Cherokee Bill my favorite. Loved his calm demeanor

Start a free trial on Apple Plus if you don't have it and binge Severance.

Captivating show.

Was just gonna mention this - 2 Eps in and it seems great.

Also The Old Man with Jeff Bridges and John Lithgow is tight too.

HBO/Foxtel/binge Westworld season 4 started today. It was totally acceptable. One scene was really dark hard to see what was happening (like that game of thrones battle episode) but I didn't watch in HD.  Altho I could not remember what happened in season 3 at all.

I can’t reveal its name due to signing an NDA but there’s a Netflix movie coming at the end of July that’s a fuck ton of action movie fun and should have been in theaters, esp considering the main actors

Its on Hulu but I'm hooked deep into Letterkenny.  I've gone through the first 7 seasons in 3 days. The dialogue is very distinctive and its probably a lot funnier if you've spent some time in bumfuck Ontario, so I'm going to guess some people will absolutely hate it but the characters and one-liners are so ridiculous that I can't help but crack up.

finished the queen's gambit today. I didn't love it but the plot was interesting enough to keep me watching.
Really enjoyed the Queens Gambit. 1 season is perfect for the story to be told

Really think I had my fill of super hero stuff (actually been thinking it nearly ten years but keep coming back) newest umbrella academy was pretty meh but started watching swamp thing and it seems like it could have potential. I'm only two EPs in but it at least looks cool.

Swamp thing was rad, but it sucks they had to end the series 3 eps early because they lost their rebate to shoot in that state.  I don’t think it affects the final product noticeably, but it’s a shame that the show was cursed by that and by being on that weird DC streaming service
