I'll watch it, Sexual Chocolate! The Pop Culture Happy Hour podcast had a great episode about it just this past Friday (great if you want some non spoiler analysis on the show) - really sounded interesting |

I honestly don't have a preference for a day so I'm just going to throw out a suggestion: How about Thursday or Friday?

Sounds good. Didn't Stephen King write a book entitled "Needful Things"?::

Yes he did booksrbetter and if is a great, chilling look at small towns and how desires can warp the soul with devastating effects. |

This is wrong on so many different levels but to keep with the twerking theme I just had to post it. These babies have better moves than I do. Alrighty, folks, Friday it is. I'm assuming some of us are in different time zones so I propose watching it during a time on Fridays that make sense for you, and then race your fine shapely butts in here to discuss. For those who are too filled with anticipation and can't wait until Friday, go on with your bad selves and do you. Add your thoughts any time, just remember to stop by on Friday night for discussion and virtual mojitos. Let me know if anyone needs a link. |

I binge watched it over a two-day period. It was amazing! Very Stephen King-ish...just a perfect story.

This show is amazing. It's like Poltergeist, Goonies, Alien, and ET had a baby.

Soooo this show has been my obsession lately and I'm pretty sure I've watched it like five times over. It's worth it!! I can't even pick a favorite character really because they are all great. I'm sitting here waiting for season 2 to drop already  It's really refreshing of a show. |

Great Slate Piece on Stranger Things but also the effective use of an 8-episode season without filler episodes *cough, cough or the "it gets better" trend of new TV. www.slate.com/blogs/browbeat/2016/08/03/in_praise_of_the_eight_episode_tv_season.html"...At the end of the Netflix series Stranger Things, in which a group of small-town Indiana kids discover a portal to another dimension, life goes back to normal. We end as we began, with four boys gathered around a basement playing Dungeons & Dragons, except now the game that was interrupted by their adventures is drawing to an end. “That’s not it, is it?” one kid says indignantly. “The campaign was way too short!” The ’80s-appropriate gag about the length of D&D campaigns, which could go on for weeks or even months, doubles as a wink at Stranger Things’ compact eight-episode season. Even casual TV viewers have begun to notice the existence of “Netflix bloat,” where shows seem to spin their wheels for hours before finally kicking into gear. (This is also the source of the dreaded “It gets good” phenomenon, where you’re encouraged to watch hours of mediocre TV in the hopes that it will eventually turn into less-mediocre TV.) Stranger Things, which was created by brothers Matt and Ross Duffer, bucks the bloated TV trend, and it’s a stronger series for it. The show is built around the slowly unraveling mystery of a child’s disappearance, and eight episodes turns out to be the perfect length to stretch out the investigation without it feeling distended and without needing to introduce superfluous obstacles in order to banned word the heroes’ progress. A few elements, like a love triangle between high school students, feel shortchanged, but that’s far preferable to the alternative course charted by a show like Lost, where it took so long to get to the final reveal that no answer could have satisfied all the pent-up anticipation. The Duffers leave a few strings dangling, enough to pick up in a second season (or more), but for the most part, they tell a complete story with a beginning, a middle, and an end, and not too much filler between them...." |

As soon as I saw that tube in Will's mouth I went back to Alien so the ending wasn't a surprise as much as an "oh, no." Hoping for the best.

Alrighty, folks. Don't forget to watch at least the first episode of Stranger Things, if you haven't done so already. Then get your fine derrieres back in here tonight to discuss. It feels like Christmas in August!

Down to the last episode. A dose of paranoia and a lot of Stephen King.

I haven't read Stephen King since his writing changed and it became too graphically violent for me. But this show holds up against any of his iconic works... Dead Zone or The Stand. The show is being compared a lot to Stand By Me, which was based on King's short story Th Body. It also has many elements from that, although lacks the supernatural qualities,

Just finished the 1st episode and I'm hooked. I had to check the credits because I was convinced Stephen King's touch was all over this series, despite what I had been told. Even the font used for the title reminded me of the cover of a King novel. Watching the series is going to be fun.

I love love this series.. it has the whole 80's movie feel to it. Winona Ryder is really good as the mother and the kids aren't likable. I didn't regonise Matthew Modine at first because of his hair lol.

It's really refreshing of a show.
