Same thing the Duffer Brothers did with 80’s films to recreate red scare propaganda in Stranger Things

go in expecting a deconstruction of red scare propaganda from a modern lens

leave with more anticommunist slop

They didn't get nearly enough shit for filming a "gulag" in a literal former Nazi prison camp. And then they tried renting it out as a Stranger Things-themed Airbnb. Fucking ghouls.

It's no surprise that the kid who plays Will grew up into a gross zionist. I'm extremely sus of that whole production and everyone involved.

Edit: How could I forget this asshole (cw: extremely cringe zionist). Someone needs to check what they're putting in the water on this show's set hitler-detector

There’s something approaching a comical parody when the Soviet spy becomes pro capitalism because he went to a carnival
