"Preparing [for the role of Nikki] was really fun. We got to watch a lot of fun movies, and kind of pick and choose, like a puzzle, what we wanted in the film. Moments that we took inspiration from, and made them our own." — Inde Navarrette for Fandango "We watched Get Out, and focused on a lot of the moments where characters are showing an emotion underneath but saying something completely different [on the surface], and how horrific that is. There's a scene where [Nikki] is saying, "no", and there is a [similar] scene in Get Out [which we took inspiration from]." — Inde Navarrette for A Shot Magazine Obsession (2026) Dir. Curry Barker Get Out (2017) Dir. Jordan Peele

Stranger Things finale review, spoiler free: 👎🏼

The Duffer brothers :

We were scared of screwing up our final season, like so many other shows did before us. Which is why we studied them to a science to make sure we do the worst TV-show final since Game Of Thrones season 8.

Well, we’re just always partners, okay? STEVE HARRINGTON and DUSTIN HENDERSON in STRANGER THINGS

i cried so hard when dustin finally broke down. when he stopped steve from basically killing himself with so much anger and despair because he simply couldn't experience that grief again, not so soon, not again. the way dustin naturally attaches himself to older male figures due to his lack of a father figure and how this attachment and forming of bonds has hurt him with eddie's death is so heartbreaking. him doing everything he can to prevent that pain from happening again because he wouldn't know what to do with himself after, god. it's so devastating. im so scared for them once the last episode comes out. "if you die, i die", ok well how about "if you survive, i survive"💔

I really just miss the simplicity of s1 I think. I miss when Hawkins really did feel like a close-knit town, I miss when characters weren't all over the place, and there was just some type of grain in the film, even if it was filmed in 2015. I also miss the character building. Jim was a divorced alcoholic. Jonathan was a 'creep' and had a rough upbringing. Nancy was your typical popular, pretty schoolgirl, but she was in love with the so-called creep and could handle a gun. And Joyce was just a single mother, being driven to the brink of insanity. I just feel like nowadays, there's no time for character development, or no thought put behind it at all.

I really miss when stranger things did feel like an eighties, small town, cop sci-fi thriller with horror elements. Now it just feels like a long, drawn out season of some shitty marvel cash grab show.

okay unpopular opinion (maybe)

nancy needs to be single by the end of the show. neither jonathan nor steve are mature enough to be viable candidates for her partner. let her be gay, or let her be single. for the love of god.

The best part about Steve and Jonathan fighting over Nancy is that she doesn’t give a fuck

I know it just came out but I noticed something that no one else has addressed for the new movie Together (2025) and thats the role religion and religious institutions play in toxic and co dependent relationships- religions tend to trap couples with guilt or morality and weaponize soulmateism to keep couples together that might seriously benefit from being apart, even if its a temporary situation. Religion can put pressure on couples that maybe feel like they can't leave relationships and accept the toxic patterns of behavior for the sake of spiritual or destined beliefs.

Annie: There are legends of people born with the gift of making music so true, it can pierce the veil between life and death; conjuring spirits from the past...and the future. In ancient Ireland, they were called Filí. In Choctaw land, they called them Fire Keepers. And in West Africa, they were called Griots. This gift can bring healing to their communities. But it also...attracts evil....
