Netflix recently dropped a teaser trailer for Stranger Things Season 5, marking the beginning of the end for Netflix's beloved series. Set in fall 1987, this final season brings the ultimate showdown between Vecna's forces and Hawkins' determined heroes. For those of you who don't want any SPOILERS about this new season, stop reading and avoid this podcast episode. The newly released trailer reveals familiar faces alongside newcomer Linda Hamilton as Dr. Kay, while showcasing Eddie Munson's grave, Max's hospital bed, and an army of demogorgons. Stranger Things Season 5 finds Hawkins scarred by rifts, under military quarantine, with Eleven forced into hiding as the government intensifies its hunt for her. The climactic Stranger Things Season 5 will release in three volumes this holiday season: four episodes on November 26, three on Christmas Day, and the series finale on New Year's Eve 2025, all dropping at 5 pm PT. The Duffer Brothers promise a return to horror roots as our heroes unite with one goal: find and kill the vanished Vecna. The trailer's ominous tone raises fears for beloved characters' fates, though fans hope the power of friendship—and Eleven's abilities—will ultimately triumph against the darkness of the Upside Down in Stranger Things Season 5.

Netflix's Stranger Things, created by the Duffer Brothers, continues to be one of the most beloved sci-fi horror series of the decade, blending supernatural suspense with heartfelt coming-of-age drama. Set in the 1980s in Hawkins, Indiana, the series follows a group of kids, teens, and adults as they battle the sinister forces of the Upside Down. In Season 4, Episode 4, “Dear Billy,” Max Mayfield (Sadie Sink, Fear Street, The Whale) takes center stage as she struggles with haunting visions from Vecna.

Welcome to Multiverse News, Your source for Information about all your favorite fictional universesIt would appear as though Ryan Reynold's social media stunt we discussed last week is having the intended effect as a few of our favorite trades can't seem to come to a consensus. First, in the August 15 edition of Heat Vision, The Hollywood Reporter's exclusive column for all things comics, horror and sci-fi, Borys Kitt claimed that their sources confirmed Deadpool's inclusion in Avengers: Doomsday. However, later that day Deadline refuted the speculation by citing their own sources who said the actor has not been seen on the London set and is not intended to appear in either upcoming Avengers film. In less nebulous Doomsday talk, Nightcrawler actor Alan Cumming described his experience returning to the role as healing, after a terrible experience on 2003's X2. It's a big week for DC Studios with Superman hitting Video-On-Demand last Friday and Peacemaker Season 2 premiering this Thursday. While on the red carpet for the show's debut in New York, DC Studios head and Peacemaker's showrunner James Gunn defended Superman's quick availability for home viewing after just 35 days in theaters, by sharing how the film impacts the series. “It's a big part, definitely Superman leads directly into Peacemaker,” said Gunn, while speaking with The Hollywood Reporter. “Superman leads into this show and then we have the setting up of all of the rest of the DCU in this season of Peacemaker, it's incredibly important,” he continued. Gunn also teased the future for Superman on the big screen, saying, “I've already finished the treatment for the next story in what I'll call the ‘Superman Saga.' The treatment is done, which means a very, very worked-out treatment. I'm working on that and hopefully going into production on that not too far away from today.”Back to the Wasteland we go, as Amazon's marketing for Fallout Season 2 has begun in preparation for its December 17 premiere, with a full-court press that includes first look images and a trailer that was released earlier today. The images showcase returning characters played by Ella Purnell, Walton Goggins, Moises Arias, Aaron Moten and Kyle McLachlan, while the two minute 42-second trailer gave us our first glimpse at Justin Theroux's enigmatic Mr. House and McCauley Caulkin in an undisclosed role, which were of course accompanied, yet again, by the crooning stylings of The Ink Spots.In an interview with Collider, Marvel Zombies director Bryan Andrews confirmed that the series has moved its release date up to September 24th, and all episodes of the series will be available to stream at once. He also confirmed that the four episodes will be rated TV-MA.At a recent London fan event Sir Ian McKellen claimed Frodo and Gandalf will appear in Andy Serkis' upcoming The Hunt for Gollum film without specifying whether he and Elijah Wood would reprise their iconic roles.NBCUniversal announced that it has acquired all rights, excluding publishing, to Robert Ludlum's popular Jason Bourne and Treadstone book series.Weapons took the number one spot at the box office again in its second weekend with a drop of only 43%, bringing its worldwide total to nearly $150 million dollars. Nobody 2 generated around $15 million dollars worldwide in its opening weekend on a $25 million dollar budget.Netflix has dropped a trailer for the second half of season 2 of Wednesday, which will stream on September 3rd.Stranger Things creators The Duffer Brothers are in talks for a massive overall deal with Paramount that includes both streaming and features with a big theatrical component, something the pair have not been able to get at their current home of more than a decade, Netflix.Original Scary Movie actresses Regina Hall and Anna Faris are coming back as Brenda and Cindy, respectively, for the Wayans Brothers' restart of the comedy franchise, which is eyeing a 2026 release.

Frank and Squeaks cover Paramount's massive week of moves after the Skydance merger, including a new UFC deal, a bigger theatrical slate, a push for family adventure movies, and fresh Star Trek film plans. They react to Greta Gerwig's Narnia set photos, talk through the young Rambo prequel casting, and share practical steps for Roblox safety that parents can use right now. Reviews land for Alien Earth and King of the Hill. Plus, Frank chats with Alex Austin about building a social platform out of a podcast app and what moderation and growth look like in 2025.

Family adventure is a priority which fills a gap left by pure superhero focus and could broaden audience reach. Two Star Trek films are on deck, one tied to the Kelvin crew and one new project from Toby Haynes. Narnia starts with The Magician's Nephew, which makes the world feel fresh while connecting to classic imagery. The Rambo prequel raises a bigger question about when to create new action icons instead of reviving old ones. Roblox needs stronger safety guardrails, while parents can act now with private servers, whitelists, spending locks, and no random chats. Alien Earth blends practical effects with slow-burning world-building and earns a nine out of ten from both hosts. King of the Hill nails a modern continuation that honors the original and lands a perfect ten out of ten from Frank. Memorable quotes Squeaks on Paramount. Right now, they are not messing around Frank Family adventure feels like the missing lane, and it is a smart way to reach everyone Frank Alien Earth plays like Fargo in space, and I mean that as a compliment Frank, this new King of the Hill does not feel like a reboot, it feels like the next season Squeaks if you are not doing enough to protect kids other people will try, and that should be a wake-up call Call to action If you enjoy the show tap Follow or Subscribe in your podcast app. Leave a quick rating and review to help more geeks find us.

From the summit of the Paramount mountain to the depths of Hollywood's biggest headlines, ITCAF is climbing higher than ever this week.The guys are diving straight into the Paramount/Skydance merger as David Ellison officially takes the reins, laying out a bold plan to restore the studio to its former glory. With Top Gun 3 soaring high on the priority list, and revivals of Star Trek, Transformers, and G.I.

Tara Erickson & Andrew Gordon dive into the chilling and cinematic Stranger Things Season 4 Episode 1 in this YouTube Reaction & Review of the global Netflix phenomenon created by the Duffer Brothers. Set in the 1980s in the fictional town of Hawkins, Indiana, Stranger Things follows a group of kids as they face off against terrifying supernatural forces emerging from the mysterious Upside Down. Season 4 picks up six months after the Battle of Starcourt, with the group now separated across different locations, still reeling from the trauma of past events. Episode 1, “Chapter One: The Hellfire Club,” reintroduces us to Eleven (Millie Bobby Brown – Enola Holmes, Godzilla vs. Kong) as she struggles to adapt to life in California without her powers, while Mike (Finn Wolfhard – Ghostbusters: Afterlife, IT), Dustin (Gaten Matarazzo – Prank Encounters), Lucas (Caleb McLaughlin – Concrete Cowboy), and Max (Sadie Sink – The Whale, Fear Street) continue their lives in Hawkins. Meanwhile, the Hellfire Club D&D group becomes a central part of the high school social dynamic, led by the eccentric Eddie Munson (Joseph Quinn – Game of Thrones). Joyce (Winona Ryder – Beetlejuice, Edward Scissorhands) receives a mysterious package from Russia, hinting that Hopper (David Harbour – Black Widow, Violent Night) may still be alive. One of the most haunting scenes involves cheerleader Chrissy (Grace Van Dien) encountering a monstrous new threat—Vecna—for the first time, setting the terrifying tone for the season. With darker horror influences, expanded locations, and cinematic scope, Stranger Things 4 kicks off with intense emotional stakes and ominous foreshadowing. From the ‘80s nostalgia to the Hellfire Club, and the first glimpse of Vecna's psychic terror, this premiere episode is packed with Easter eggs, callbacks, and jaw-dropping moments that fans won't want to miss.

Chris Fisher is one of the leading minds behind the groundbreaking illusions in Stranger Things: The First Shadow, the stunning stage prequel to the beloved Netflix series. As Co-Illusion and Visual Effects Designer, Fisher helped craft an unprecedented theatrical experience that combines practical magic, cutting-edge engineering, and emotional storytelling — all performed live, night after night.With a background in stage magic and major productions like Harry Potter and the Cursed Child and Back to the Future: The Musical, Chris brings a magician's eye and a director's instinct to theatrical illusion, redefining what's possible on stage. In this episode, he talks about training actors in sleight-of-hand, designing horror sequences for a live audience, and why Stranger Things: The First Shadow might be the most ambitious stage show ever produced.Key TakeawaysLive theater is the new special effects.In a world dominated by CGI and AI, Fisher believes true spectacle now lies in what you can do right in front of an audience. With Stranger Things: The First Shadow, the goal was to create jaw-dropping effects — in real time, with no digital help. That meant gasps in the theater, not in post-production. The live setting becomes its own kind of magic.Treat actors like magicians.To pull off illusions, Fisher and his team had to train the cast in principles of stage magic: misdirection, sleight of hand, and controlled attention. Especially lead actor Louis McCartney, who had to master complex tricks — like bleeding on cue — all while acting. Fisher runs “magic boot camps” during rehearsals, teaching performers how to make illusions look natural and narrative-driven.Horror is harder on stage — but more powerful.Crafting fear in theater demands balance. Go too far and it becomes laughable; not far enough, and it's ineffective. Fisher focused on building suspense through precise timing, lighting, and sound — even dissecting jump scares frame by frame. His team embraced the “Jaws effect”: show just enough to unsettle, then deliver a brief, unforgettable payoff.Make every department part of the illusion.From lighting and sound to costumes and props, each scare in the show is a feat of cross-departmental coordination. A single effect — like a character's fall or a monster's entrance — often requires perfect timing across half a dozen teams. According to Fisher, true stage magic only works when everyone is completely in sync.Sometimes, the simplest things are hardest.The most challenging illusion? A nosebleed. Recreating Eleven's signature moment live took months of testing — and eventually relied on sleight-of-hand and costume tricks. The goal was to make it visible to every seat in the house, not just the front row. More often than not, storytelling dictated technique.Push past what's been done.To elevate the show beyond existing stage spectacles, Fisher and his team studied the most advanced illusion shows in Las Vegas — then set out to beat them. With encouragement from producers and the Duffer Brothers, they constantly pushed for bigger, scarier, and more innovative moments. Multiple illusion labs and workshops allowed them to invent new methods just for this production.Blood is a storytelling tool.After early previews, one note became universal: “More blood.” From subtle nosebleeds to geysers of gore, Fisher and his team used blood effects to amplify horror and tragedy. These weren't just shocks — they were emotional beats, tied to character and story. That meant making blood visible from every seat and learning how it read under different lights and costumes.Collaboration is the ultimate special effect.No single department...

Meanwhile, Hopper (David Harbour, Black Widow, Hellboy), Joyce (Winona Ryder, Beetlejuice, Heathers), and Murray (Brett Gelman, Fleabag, The Other Guys) infiltrate the Russian base beneath the mall.

Kate Trefry is a key creative force behind Stranger Things. Joining the show as a writer in Season 2, she's been with the series for over seven years, and her work has helped shape the mythology, tone, and lore of the town of Hawkins — and all of its beloved (and haunted) inhabitants.Her latest venture takes the franchise into uncharted territory: the stage. Kate wrote Stranger Things: The First Shadow, a theatrical prequel set in 1959 Hawkins that blends psychological horror with jaw-dropping effects.The First Shadow is one of the most incredible theater experiences I've ever had — its a mind-blowing fusion of stagecraft, horror, and storytelling that feels like witnessing real magic unfold in real time. So if you're in New York City or London's West End, run — don't walk. This show absolutely blew me away.In this episode, Kate gets into her career history, including her ten-year struggle in Hollywood after which she was making snowcones before landing the writing gig of a lifetime on Stranger Things. She also dives into her collaborative process with the Duffer Brothers and the extremely challenging, grueling, and fascinating experience of adapting Stranger Things to the stage.On today's episode of The Nick Taylor Horror Show, here — without further ado — is Kate Trefry.Key TakeawaysIgnorance is bliss.Despite having written for Stranger Things for over five years, Kate had never written a play before — and that turned out to be an advantage. Unburdened by the typical constraints of stagecraft, she approached The First Shadow like she would an episode or film: big set pieces, impossible visuals, cinematic pacing. Instead of limiting her vision, the creative team encouraged it — telling her to write whatever she wanted and leave it to them to figure out how to make it work live. The result is a show that doesn't just adapt Stranger Things for the stage — it redefines what live theatre can do.There is no writing, only rewriting.Throughout the development of The First Shadow, Trefry wrote hundreds of drafts. During the workshop and preview process, she sat with live audiences, watching for moments when people shifted, coughed, or lost focus — then made adjustments accordingly. Kate believes the magic starts to happen around draft six — when emotion, structure, and theme finally begin to align. Her process always involves discovery through multiple rewrites, often transforming scenes completely from their original form. For her, the key is getting to the end of your first draft as quickly as possible — so you can start rewriting. And then rewrite again. And again.Authenticity opens doors.Kate's path to Stranger Things began not with a polished pitch, but with brutal, unfiltered honesty. After years grinding in Hollywood, she took a call with the Duffer Brothers and told them point-blank that “Hollywood is a cesspool” and “writing is a nightmare” — not exactly go-to lines for landing a job. But to her surprise, they loved her candor. That authenticity — combined with clear talent — landed her in the Stranger Things writers' room the following week. The takeaway: showing up as your real self, especially in an industry full of rehearsed personalities, can resonate more than trying to be what you think others want.Show NotesMovies DiscussedStranger Things (Netflix)Stranger Things: The First Shadow (West End & Broadway)Behind the Curtain: Stranger Things The First Shadow (Documentary)Game of ThronesThe ShiningHarry PotterLord of the RingsBooks & ProjectsSave the...

The worlds of film, gaming, and TV collide in this jam-packed news roundup that explores the surprising box office victory of Apple's F1 racing film and the spectacular failure of Megan 2.0, showing how unpredictable audience tastes have become in our post-pandemic entertainment landscape.The gaming industry reveals its shifting priorities as EA Sports announces the return of college basketball after a 15-year absence, potentially signaling a further pivot toward sports titles at the expense of more diverse gaming experiences. Meanwhile, Netflix quietly begins dismantling its gaming library, removing over 20 titles including critically acclaimed games like Hades and Death's Door – a troubling sign for their commitment to interactive entertainment.Franchise fever continues unabated with Vin Diesel teasing the potential return of Paul Walker's character for the final Fast & Furious film, raising fascinating questions about the ethical implications of digitally recreating deceased actors. Similarly, Matt Reeves completes The Batman 2 script amid fan pressure, though the film won't arrive until 2027, demonstrating how extended production timelines are becoming the norm for major properties.The episode also delves into casting updates for the Street Fighter movie, with 50 Cent joining as Balrog, hints of an Assassin's Creed Black Flag remake from voice actor Matt Ryan, and the Duffer Brothers' post-Stranger Things projects, including a crime thriller adaptation that's moved from page to development in record time.What emerges is a portrait of an entertainment industry still struggling to balance innovation with familiar IP, all while trying to capture the attention of increasingly fragmented audiences across multiple platforms. Which of these projects will succeed and which will fail? Time will tell, but the landscape is more unpredictable than ever.Music Produced by BlackOutBeatz414: https://www.youtube.com/@BlackOutBeatz414Facebook: www.facebook.com/GeekVisionz/Twitch: www.twitch.tv/geekvizentYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@GeekvisionzEnt.

Awards Daily says “Reiser truly excels, giving one of his very best performances…here, he reminds us just how very funny and experienced he is in the world of television comedy.” He also took his first step into bloody, superhero glory, joining Season 3 of Amazon Prime's Emmy-nominated The Boys, playing “The Legend.” Also this year Reiser filmed “The Problem with People,” an original comedy feature film which he wrote, produced, and stars in alongside Jane Levy and Colm Meaney. Reiser currently stars in two hit shows for Netflix: Stranger Things—the company's biggest series of all time—where he plays Dr. Sam Owens, a role created by the Duffer Brothers specifically for him; and Chuck Lorre's The Kominsky Method, for which he received an Emmy nomination for Outstanding Supporting Actor in and Golden Globe-winning comedy ended in May 1999 and premiered 20 years later as a limited series on Spectrum Originals. All seven seasons of the original Mad About You and the re-visit are available for streaming on Amazon Prime. The multi-faceted actor also revived one of his most iconic roles in the highly anticipated return of Mad About You, the long-running hit 90s comedy Reiser co-created and starred in with Helen Hunt. The Emmy, Peabody and Golden Globe-winning comedy ended in May 1999 and premiered 20 years later as a limited series on Spectrum Originals. All seven seasons of the original Mad About You and the re-visit are available for streaming on Amazon Prime. Throughout his prolific career, Reiser has worked with both independent and mainstream filmmakers. Having earned acclaim for his supporting role in the Academy Award-winning film Whiplash, Reiser was also recently seen alongside Kevin Hart in the Netflix feature Fatherhood, John McDonagh's War on Everyone and in frequent collaborator Jeff Baena's “The Little Hours” and “Horse Girl,” which premiered at Sundance 2020, the fourth film the pair has worked on together. The veteran actor has garnered praise for notable performances in films such as Diner, Bye Bye Love, Aliens, One Night At McCool's, Beverly Hills Cop I/II and The Thing About My Folks, which Reiser wrote for his co-star Peter Falk. Reiser is a fixture behind the camera as well. He co-created and co-produced There's Johnny!, a seven-episode series which originally streamed on Hulu and now streams on Peacock. The show, a fictional story set behind-the-scenes of Johnny Carson's Tonight Show circa 1972, co-created with filmmaker David Steven Simon and co-produced with director David Gordon Green in conjunction with The Carson Company, premiered to critical praise, with Decider saying There's Johnny! is “a television experience unlike any I've seen on TV in recent years” and “unfolds like a dream, a memory fondly recalled.” As an author, Reiser's first book, Couplehood, sold over two million copies and reached the number one spot on The New York Times bestsellers list. His subsequent books, Babyhood and Familyhood, were best sellers as well. Voted by Comedy Central as one of the Top 100 Comedians of All Time, Reiser regularly performs sold-out standup at venues nationwide with dates currently booked throughout 2022 and beyond. A SUNY Binghamton graduate of its prestigious music program, Reiser co-wrote the theme song for Mad About You, “The Final Frontier,” with Grammy-winning producer Don Was, and released an album of original songs with British singer-songwriter Julia Fordham called Unusual Suspects. Over the course of his career, Reiser has received multiple Emmys, Golden Globes, American Comedy Awards and Screen Actors Guild nominations. Reiser and his family reside in Los Angeles.

We all know that there are a ton of fan theories regarding Regina's character (Counselor Kelly) in Season 4 of Stranger Things; theories that she has connections with Vecna. Whether she is Vecna herself or she is an agent, sending troubled kids his way. Either way, I'd like to see Regina make a comeback in Season 5 as Vecna in human form. That would be an amazing and epic plot twist! Regina is such a wonderful and talented actress; we discussed family traditions and how her roots are embedded with customs and that makes me respect her a lot more. No matter what, I believe that her grandmother would be very proud of her achievements. Grandmothers are the best! She also discusses her memorable moments on the set of Stranger Things… From the attention to detail to the background/extra actors. And I have to wholeheartedly agree with her. The attention to detail in the show is impeccable and I have always been surprised (in a good way) how much the Duffer Brothers put into this show. Not to mention the fact that the entire series takes place in the 1980s and the memories come flooding in with every episode. Overall, great interview with Regina. She did hint that she stars in a movie with Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson that will be released this November and that it's a holiday movie. Either something to do with Thanksgiving or Christmas. Who knows but surely, I will be keeping an eye out for it. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/southjerseyhorror/message

Stranger Things: a bonafide telly phenomenon. The Duffer Brothers' Netflix series has won an army of diehard fans across all demographics with its big budget mix of horror, fantasy and 80s nostalgia that makes sure never to skimp on character or storytelling. Kate Trefry's been a writer on the series since season two and is currently wrapping up the fifth and final season, expected to be released next year. She's also written its stage production and prequel, Stranger Things: The First Shadow, working with the Duffer Brothers, Jack Thorne and Stephen Daldry to bring Hawkins to the Phoenix Theatre in London. As well as a slew of five-star reviews, Stranger Things: The First Shadow recently picked up the best new entertainment or comedy play at the Oliviers.  Our Mick has also seen and been blown away by it, so was chuffed to bits to catch up with Kate a couple of days after the awards. They're chatting Stranger Things (obviously), the play and the series, being an outsider, winning hearts and minds, new motherhood, and the birth of evil. Visit phoenixtheatre.co.uk for tickets.

This week on Script Apart, we're broadcasting from the Upside Down. Yes, grab your Eggos and Metallica CDs for a special, spoiler-free conversation all about Stranger Things: The First Shadow – the first theatre production that we've covered on the show, as part of a new strand of episodes called "Stage Apart." The First Shadow is a show that, as reviews have underlined, accomplishes things not thought possible in a play till now; as a spectacle, it's breathtaking in the way it conjures all manner of demogorgon-related chaos, live in front of you. But also staggering is what the show achieves as a piece of storytelling. Which is why this week, we're delighted to be joined by the wonderful Kate Trefry – writer of a great many of the show's best episodes, and writer of The First Shadow.Working from a story created by Jack Thorne and show creators The Duffer Brothers, Kate penned The First Shadow as a prequel, pulling the curtain back on how and why the Upside Down came to Hawkins in the first place. Set in 1959, it introduces us to younger versions of fan favourite characters like Hopper, Joyce and Bob Newby, as a mystery unfolds in their sleepy hometown; beloved household pets are turning up not just dead but grotesquely disfigured. This spate of killing coincides not just with the production of a play at Hawkins High School that Joyce is directing, but also with the arrival of new kid Henry Creel – a kid that, those up to date with the latest season of Stranger Things will know, has a dark future he's about to inherit.Stranger Things is one of the biggest TV shows of the last decade by pretty much any metric and in the conversation you're about to hear, we talk to Kate about why that is. We get into how the tale of Eleven, Hopper and co has become almost a new American myth – and discuss what The First Shadow does to extend and complicate that fable. Without giving anything away, we discuss how The First Shadow ties the horrors of the Upside Down to 1950s racism and America' involvement in World War II. You'll also hear about the supposed “real-life” incidents – including a horrifying alleged event called The Philadelphia Experiment – that intersect with what happens in Hawkins in the astounding The First Shadow. Listen out, also, for a tease at what season five has in store, as Stranger Things approaches its final ever episodes.
