Episode 41: Stranger Things, Thor - and the 1980s
Manage episode 191355075 series 1406726
How does Stranger Things 2 and Thor Ragnarok evoke the 1980s through the dimly remembered lens of 80s VHS box art, arcade games and teenage hormones?
The Duffer Brothers and Taika Waititi have served up two different kinds of nostalgic reflection on the decade children retreated from the street to the home entertainment room.
Does Stranger Things 2 serve simply as a decent sequel to the surprise Netflix hit - or does it have a responsibility to be all things to all viewers?
And has Taika cracked the Marvel Movies code with Thor Ragnarok?
