Support The Channel By Grabbing Our SUPERMAN Inspired Tees! https://www.rejectnationshop.com/ Stranger Things Season 5 Trailer Reaction, Breakdown & Analysis! We dive into the intense new trailer that drops Hawkins in Fall 1987, scarred by Rifts and under military quarantine, as our heroes—including Millie Bobby Brown (Eleven, Enola Holmes), David Harbour (Hopper, Black Widow), Winona Ryder (Joyce, Beetlejuice), Finn Wolfhard (Mike, It), Gaten Matarazzo (Dustin), Caleb McLaughlin (Lucas), Noah Schnapp (Will), Sadie Sink (Max), Natalia Dyer (Nancy), Charlie Heaton (Jonathan), Joe Keery (Steve), Maya Hawke (Robin), Priah Ferguson (Erica), Brett Gelman (Murray), Cara Buono (Karen), Amybeth McNulty (Vickie), Nell Fisher (Holly)—band together to locate and defeat the hidden Vecna (Jamie Campbell Bower) who ominously resurfaces saying “Found you!”, while Max remains comatose under Lucas's protection and Lucas drills deeper into character through that emotional Lucas‑Max hospital escape sequence; the trailer teases epic return scenes including Mike's gang in the radio station, Hopper's grenade toss, Demodog attacks, and Eleven in sensory tank, plus haunting callbacks like the altered Eddie Munson grave (“Burn in Hell”) and a bathtub breath‑hold moment by Karen & Holly, all scored to Deep Purple's “Child in Time.” We also spot iconic new additions like Linda Hamilton (Terminator) as Dr. Kay, Jake Connelly as Derek Turnbow, and Alex Breaux as Lt. Akers, setting up final‑season stakes. With Hawkins quarantined, portals open, and Vecna returning, this trailer sets the tone for a massive conclusion to the Stranger Things saga—spreading across Vol. 1 (November 26), Vol. 2 (December 25), and the series finale (New Year's Eve), culminating in a showdown more epic than ever—how much deeper can the Upside Down get?! Cast highlighted: Millie Bobby Brown, David Harbour, Winona Ryder, Finn Wolfhard, Gaten Matarazzo, Caleb McLaughlin, Noah Schnapp, Sadie Sink, Natalia Dyer, Charlie Heaton, Joe Keery, Maya Hawke, Priah Ferguson, Brett Gelman, Cara Buono, Amybeth McNulty, Nell Fisher, Jamie Campbell Bower, Linda Hamilton, Jake Connelly, Alex Breaux.

The LSU Tigers were dominating on Saturday night in their College World Series opener vs. Arkansas. Well, maybe we should say pitcher Kade Anderson was dominating.

Host Jim Derry has a nice chat with Advocate and Times-Picayune LSU beat writer Koki Riley on Monday's Dattitude Podcast (Ep. 386) presented by Evangeline Securities. They'll also talk about an interesting stat in which the Tigers are nearly unbeatable if they score a certain amount of runs, and is Coach Jay Johnson about to step into Skip Bertman territory? Jim also has thoughts on the importance of the Saints signing running back Cam Akers and whether he will play a role for this team. Lastly, Gabe Henderson has a few things he wants to talk about and his opinion on Akers, who is a former Houston Texan.

In 2015, I suffered from poor Type 1 diabetes control which lead me to become legally blind for almost a year. The doctors didn't give me much hope, predicting an 80% chance that I would never see again. But I refused to give up and changed my lifestyle drastically. Through sheer willpower (and an amazing eye surgeon) I beat the odds and regained my vision. During that difficult time, I couldn't read or write, which was devastating as they had always been a source of comfort for me since childhood. However, my wife took me to the local library where she read out the titles of audiobooks to me. I selected some of my favorite books, such as the Disc World series, Name of the Wind, Harry Potter, and more, and the audiobooks brought these stories to life in a way I had never experienced before. They helped me through the darkest period of my life and I fell in love with audiobooks. Once I regained my vision, I decided to pursue a career as an audiobook narrator instead of a writer. That's why I created Tall Tale TV, to support aspiring authors in the writing communities that I had grown to love before my ordeal. My goal was to help them promote their work by providing a promotional audio short story that showcases their writing skills to readers.
