The RedLetterMedia guys have released a video where the discuss this trailer, the property overall, etc.
Funny/interesting how they talk about many of the exact things we’ve hit on here (the 2016 release, Finn Wolfhard, the
Stranger Things vibe, the overall approach they seem to be going for, nostalgia/fan-service, etc.). Just wish it had been Jay and Mike; I can do without that Rich guy and his hyena-on-PCP “laugh”, (which, thankfully, he mostly keeps in check here).
But worth a look if you found the trailer interesting and/or are participating in this thread.
