Spotify and Netflix help you find your ‘Stranger Things’ music match

Eleven's mix is an eclectic mix of Lorde, Patti Smith, Madonna, The Runaways, and so much more.

Music is as much a big part of a good show or movie as every other component of it. And so, this new marketing campaign between Netflix and Spotify helps us embody what’s going on in Hawkins, Indiana a.k.a. the setting for Stranger Things 2. The gang is back and this time we get to learn a bit about their musical influences through character playlists of 13 of the leads, including Mike, Hopper, Jonathan, Eleven, Dustin, Joyce, Nancy, and even the Demogorgon itself. You can discover your music match through spotify-strangerthings.com. If you share your playlist on social media, watch your Spotify screen rotate and bring you to The Upside Down, at least within the app.

Google Home lets you speak to Stranger Things characters in new audio game

One way Netflix and Google are marketing the newest season of Stranger Things is through a new audio game you can play on Google Home. The trigger word to start playing the game is “Ok Google, talk to Dustin from Stranger Things” and then you’re magically transported to 1984 and talking to Dustin Henderson in Hawkins, Indiana. The game will also have you interacting with other characters in the new season of the show. You might need to binge-watch the show first before playing the game, unless you’re okay with getting spoiled.

Netflix Original Series Stranger Things 2 is turning our world upside down again

Things just got even stranger for the launch of Stranger Things Season 2. We pick up in the year 1984 when hanging out at the Arcade to play video games was fun and Ghostbusters was released in theatres. We really don't want to spoil anything but all you know is that Hawkins is getting darker. If you haven't watched any of the series, please, please go and start at Season 1. You need the background info to move on.

If you've binged through the first season and ready to jump right into Season 2, be prepared to be stuck on your couch for a while unless you're like many other Netflix members who like to sprint through episodes as fast as you humanly can! Yes, all of Season 2 can be streamed of this series because the show's directors and producers  probably know that we need answers after each show. But again, we won't give anything away but it seriously fun for those who grew up in the 80s and all the references from cars to shoes to food. Keep a close eye! And the soundtrack to this series is so good!

The final trailer for Netflix’s ‘Stranger Things 2’ is here!

It seems appropriate for Netflix to drop the final trailer of the second season of Stranger Things on Friday the 13^th. (Before that they dropped a teaser for the trailer inspired by the classic 1980 slasher film.) And we get to see more of our favorite Hawkins gang and the bigger threat they’re facing. And boy, does it look menacing.

If you can’t watch the trailer immediately, here’s the synopsis for Stranger Things 2: “It’s 1984 and the citizens of Hawkins, Indiana are still reeling from the horrors of the Demogorgon and the secrets of Hawkins Lab. Will Byers has been rescued from the Upside Down but a bigger, sinister entity still threatens those who survived.”
