Incredible “Stranger Things” Promo Suggests 1984 Was a Massive Conspiracy
1984 was a huge conspiracy. The evidence? New Coke, Ghostbusters, and Frankie Goes to Hollywood’s hit single Relex.
They say conspiracy theorists can string together anything they want in order to sell the connection between two mutually non-exclusive things. There’s always a path to convince people that we never went to the moon or that our water is being poisoned, or even that our weather is being controlled. While sometimes fun, it can also be harmful, especially to those in Hawkins, Indiana.
Netflix just unleashed this absurd promo for the second season “Stranger Things” that’s so over-the-top that it’s hilarious and loads of fun. The stage is set when they reference Will Byers’ abduction in season one and then segue into the pop culture phenomenons that made 1984 such a bizarre year. Everything was flipped upside down…
This is one of my favorite promos ever and I hope it’s included when “Stranger Things” returns to Netflix on October 27.
You know video game adaptations are hot when even Golden Axe is making the leap to the screen. And indeed it is, with Deadline reporting that the Sega Genesis video game franchise that debuted back in 1989 is getting an animated series at Comedy Central.
Comedy Central has given “Golden Axe” a 10-episode order, Deadline reports today.
The voice cast for the animated series from CBS Studios in association with Sony Pictures Television and Original Film includes Matthew Rhys (The Americans), Danny Pudi (Mythic Quest), Lisa Gilroy (Jury Duty), Liam McIntyre (Spartacus) and Carl Tart (Grand Crew).
“Described as a hilarious and loving homage to Sega’s video game series, Golden Axe follows veteran warriors Ax Battler, Tyris Flare and Gilius Thunderhead as they once again battle to save Yuria from the evil giant Death Adder who just won’t seem to stay dead. Fortunately, this time they have the inexperienced and underprepared Hampton Squib on their side.”
Mike McMahan (Star Trek: Lower Decks) and Joe Chandler (American Dad!) will co-write the first episode and executive produce the series, with Chandler serving as showrunner.
The original Golden Axe video game was released in 1989, followed by sequels in 1991, 1992 and 1993. The series got a modern day upgrade with Golden Axe: Beast Rider in 2008.
