Stranger Things Season 1 Review

Preface/Premise

  • So if you guys haven’t heard by now, Stranger Things is a show that just dropped on Netflix.
  • And basically it takes place in 1983 and feels like Stephen King meets E.T. or Super 8 with more government secrets.
  • It follows this group of kids who are trying to solve a mystery, meanwhile there’s a lot of shady government stuff going on in a nearby lab.
  • It’s SUPER hard not to ruin this show, but I’m gonna do my best, and the short version of this review is: WATCH IT.
  • It’s only 8 Episodes, it’s on Netflix right now, have fun!

Justice League Teaser Released!

Teaser Talk

  • Return of the Written Posts!
  • Just a little while ago (while I was sitting at Panera, no less), the first trailer to Justice League dropped!
  • We got a Wonder Woman trailer too and maybe I’ll talk about that, but overall, I really like this first glimpse at Justice League.
  • This movie doesn’t even come out until November 2017, but I’m happy that Zack Snyder and DC were confident enough to drop this over a year in advance of the movie.
  • And though I’m one of the few who really enjoyed Batman v. Superman, I still didn’t think it was a perfect movie and I thought there was more fun to be had in the DC Universe.
    • It’s fine to have a dark tone, but have fun within that dark tone.
  • Suicide Squad looks dark but fun, and so does Justice League.
  • I like that Ben Affleck as Bruce Wayne is trying to assemble the Justice League, but he’s pretty unsuccessful.
  • What this teaser does is just introduce all the members of the team and that’s perfect.
  • We want to see these actors, but not get any plot details just yet.
  • Just show us the actors and characters.
  • That’s what this teaser does, the music shows that they seem to be having fun in marketing this movie, Barry Allen (played by Ezra Miller) added the humor that I hoped this movie would have.
  • Overall guys, I was impressed by this first teaser for Justice League and look forward to seeing more!
  • Watch the trailer for yourselves right here and let me know what you think down below!
