According to Netflix, the Third Season of “Stranger Things” is Shattering Netflix Records
Netflix viewership numbers tend to always come direct from Netflix, leading many to question their validity, but in any event it’s worth noting that the streaming service announced over on Twitter last night that the third season of “Stranger Things” – widely considered to be the show’s *best* to date – is currently breaking even their most impressive records!
Netflix tweeted last night….
“40.7 million household accounts have been watching the show since its July 4 global launch — more than any other film or series in its first four days.”
What they mean there is that 40.7 million accounts have watched some portion of the season, while also adding that “18.2 million have already finished the entire season.”
In other words, the show is bigger (and better) than ever, and we’re definitely getting a fourth season. Here’s hoping we’re reporting more on that real soon!
Jake Gyllenhaal hosted “Saturday Night Live” last night and the show’s most memorable sketch saw Gyllenhaal playing an iconic pop culture character: Fred from “Scooby-Doo.”
It was titled “Scooby-Doo and the Mystery of the Shadow Phantom,” with Gyllenhaal starring alongside musical guest Sabrina Carpenter as well as “SNL” cast members Sarah Sherman, Mikey Day, and Andrew Dismukes. While it starts like a traditional “Scooby” adventure, with the gang unmasking a mystery, it soon turns into a rated “R” bloodbath.
After Fred reveals the Phantom to be Old Man Franklin, he takes things a step too far and literally rips Old Man Franklin’s face clean off. From there, the Mystery Inc. gang is dispatched in increasingly gruesome ways, while Scoob chows down on the Old Man’s face.
The gore effects are largely digital, but we’ll let it slide.
