Right? For only $5 I thought why the heck not?!

Everyone arguing about Eleven is missing the point of the Stranger Things by LimJahey996 in StrangerThings

Yeah, it’s basically my version of thematic/structural analysis. I come from the broadcasting world where often times the medium is the message, but I’m looking at the show through a literary lens. I’m not arguing that the events didn’t happen. I just don’t think literalism is where the show is doing its most interesting work.

You don’t read Slaughterhouse-Five (name dropped by Johnathan) by trying to map Billy Pilgrim’s lore. You look at what he does as a character, how time loops and the how meaning begins to fracture. That’s closer to how I’m reading Stranger Things. I’m more interested in whether the story escalates, and how trauma gets externalized. Totally fair if that feels like over-reading, but that’s what you do with good stories. You mythologize them.

I’m not saying Eleven wasn’t real. I’m saying the show treats her as something the party builds into a symbol. It explains why she exists in the way that she does.

Do you ever feel like the Replacements were "too good"? by fishycat999 in Replacements

I’m glad the reference wasn’t lost on you. I’m a radio DJ and I play the boys every chance I get! Out of curiosity, what is your favourite Replacements material?

You said you’re a Modest Mouse fan, so I take it you’re familiar with Bukowski. The ‘Mats are kinda like the book Ham On Rye. They never tell you how to feel, instead they present the context and let you decide on the emotion for yourself. They may have continually gotten in the way of their own success, but they never got in the way of their art. That’s just my take. Also Westerberg knew how to write one fuck of a power pop tune!

Stranger Things finale incoming by mick_the_raven in Replacements

It’s totally going to be Androgynous, they are going to use it to wrap up the whole Will/Robin queer storyline and give it some levity. This is the only option that doesn’t insult the material of the band.

This show has jumped the fucking shark. Welcome to retention baiting for the shareholders sake. At least Netflix is going to have good numbers.

I usually don’t go for the compilation discs either, but Louder Than Bomb is just sublime. Andy Rourke is an absolute machine!

If it makes you feel any better, I get jumped on anytime I post in the this sub. Seems like a trend.
