Everyone grows up, even the Stranger Things kids.

Also, The Who’s “Teenage Wasteland,” in case you didn’t pick up on the “coming of age in the summertime sun (with goopy monsters)” vibe.

Yep, there are monsters. The supernatural stuff with Eleven and the Upside Down is clearly still central to everything. You’ll spot some new wrinkles, some new faces. But this is still definitively Stranger Things. Read more…

For those who love popular tabletop role-playing game Dungeons & Dragons and the hit Netflix series Stranger Things, you’re in for a real treat with this one.

It was a hit of nostalgia for many, and now you can take that feeling one step further. 

Hasbro’s Stranger Things X Dungeons & Dragons Starter Set is set to ship from stores on May 1 and comes with a whole bunch of geek-tastic goodies. Made by Hasbro, you can pre-order yours now for $24.99 on Amazon. Read more…

‘Stranger Things’ Season 3 will be inspired by an ’80s Chevy Chase movie

TwitterFacebook

It’s going to be a little while longer until we see the third season of Stranger Things, but when it does, expect it to hark back to Chevy Chase at his most prolific.

David Harbour, who plays Chief Jim Hopper in the series, told Variety the new episodes will be inspired by the 1985 action-comedy Fletch.

“The Duffers are so specific each year with the movies. And Fletch is one movie we get to play around and have some fun with this season, which you wouldn’t expect from Stranger Things, and you wouldn’t expect from the Spielberg universe, and you certainly wouldn’t expect from a darker season,” Harbour told the publication.
