Watch A New Trailer For Stranger Things: Season 5

When Stranger Things first came out (back in 2016!) I was an immediate fan. It was such a wonderful amalgamation of all the things I loved growing up in the 1980s: Stephen King (or more importantly, movies based on Stephen King books), John Carpenter, Steven Spielberg, and a million other things. But it wasn’t just nostalgia-baiting either, the Duffer Brothers had created a wonderful story, one that was clearly influenced by all those things, but was also its own, new thing.

I’ve enjoyed the subsequent seasons, especially the addition of several new cast members, but I also have to admit that none of them have quite had the magic of the first one. If I’m being honest, I am ready for it to be over. This is especially true since it has taken them so long to make each season. Those kids aren’t kids anymore. Millie Bobby Brown is married, for Pete’s sake!

When I learned that Season 5, the final season, consisted of several movie-length episodes, I was a little irritated. I don’t need that much more Stranger Things. I hate it when TV shows act like movies.

But apparently, there are only going to be three episodes, so I can dig that. This teaser trailer is basically just an announcement of that fact. It mostly consists of clips from previous episodes and announces the dates of these three episodes/movies. There are a few new bits and I have to admit that it did get me excited.

Watch Bruce Springsteen Perform “My City of Ruins” in Manchester (05/14/25)

Sorry, I’ve been a bit absent these last couple of weeks. I’ve been taking a bit of a break, I guess, and maybe having a little existential crisis.

I’ll have more to say about that in a day or two, but I’m gonna try to do better at posting, and what better way to start that than Bruce singing one of my all-time favorite songs?

As you may have heard, Bruce has been having a bit of a battle of words with the current President of the USA. He’s got a few things to say at the start of this video. I usually don’t get political on this blog, but I’ll proudly stand up and say I’m on Team Springsteen here.

And my god, he sure proves he’s still got it with this performance.
