Stranger Things 4

Am up to episode 4. It's gruesome, scarry, often over the top, spiced with humor and thoroughly engrossing. And as it takes place in 1986, we're dealing with some nasty Russians.

On Nertflix.

They are really long episodes so I am watching little bits here and there. But I don’t mind the length cause I am loving the story.

I saw an Amiga 1000 computer at one point being used (and was thrilled)... So 1986 makes sense.

I'm halfway through ep 7. Not entirely sure what I think about it... But part 2 is coming in the future.

The free world came to Stalins aid while he was
chummy with Hitler at the beginning of WW 2
or was it shortly after their honeymoon. They
were both beating up on Poland.

All primed for July 1st Part 2.

It's a thrill ride. Thank goodness for the yucks!

And to avoid spoilers, skip this:

For some movie/Sondheim buffs, check this out: He was Antony in "Sweeney Todd". I thought i could find a clip from the movie, but couldn't. So here is Peter singing Joanna...
