ScreenJunkies Gives Stranger Things the Honest Trailers Treatment

November 08, 2017

I love when ScreenJunkies can be positive about something — for a video series that’s predicated on “honesty,” it’s such a nice thing when the honesty is, “oh, I really liked this movie. It was really nice! Just great, just fantastic!” They did that recently with an honest trailer for Spider-Man: Homecoming, and they do so here with Stranger Things, Season 1! They point out a few odd things — such as Stranger Things’ unlikely parallels with The Hangover — Oh, what? Every movie with four people looking for their lost friend is The Hangover all of a sudden? Is The Three Musketeers like The Hangover? Well, yeah. I guess it is, but still. The video discusses Winona Ryder’s weird expressions, the disparities in the strength abilities of the Demogorgon, and some sharp, low-key burns for the upcoming season of Stranger Things — whose Honest Trailer is sure to be a little bit more brutal. But still, watching these good natured jokes about this fantastic show is great fun. What do you think of the Honest Trailer? Let us know in the comments or on Twitter at @WhatsTrending.
