Review: "Stranger Things 4"
The streaming giant that is Netflix has become known for many of its Original shows, but none seem to reach the heights of popularity such as Stranger Things. What once began as a show that echoed the same feel of the 80’s films that Spielberg gave us has now evolved into a much darker affair with its fourth season so far. Due to the three-year hiatus between seasons three and four, the season is much bigger in scope and runtime as well as what it is dealing with in terms of trauma and loss. They even decided to break up the season into volumes, the final two episodes of the season will come out on July 1st, and yet even with the season not over, it feels like a more complete season than previous years. With the actors being more mature, it has allowed the writers to get more creative and daring with the content which they definitely did. Right out of the gate, the show proves to the audience that it is much more dark and terrifying. Thankfully, the show has aged with its cast and fan base. To an extent, this season echoes some of the same themes as Nightmare on Elm Street, a popular film series that debuted in the 80s.

Leave The Projector On
This year has been a tough one; and while this writer is no stranger to psychological duress, he is also a firm believer in escapism. I have always enjoyed media and entertainment that can take one to another place for even the briefest stretch of time, whether it be through two-hour play, a twenty-four-page comic book or a handful of brief ambient tracks. None of it’s the same but they can all mute the noise between the ears, if only for a while.

Barry Season 3 Episode 6 '710N' Review
WOW, what an intense episode. I was grasping my head with my mouth hanging open for the entire climax of 710N. The drama is escalating. This episode brings fans something that they didn’t know they needed in an episode of Barry. An epic car chase. This was the best-directed episode I have seen on TV in the longest time. Comedy, drama, and surprises are nailed.
