Yikes, two days. Just two days. You as nervous as I am? Let’s take a few moments to breathe before we hit the trailer button. Ready? Then here we go…This is Stranger Things 5: the last preview.
Some of the shots are recycled; there is nothing new regarding Eleven or Hopper in this thing. But we do get some never before revealed shots of most of the teens, and confirmation that the Demogorgons have become surprisingly spry. Hop around like bunnies, they do. Where did they get all that energy? Demogorgon Crunch, that’s where — part of a complete breakfast.
The general theme of this trailer is….CARS! You need wheels to outrun the Demogorgons, so it’s a good thing our heroes have several. Steve and Dustin are rocking the WSQK van. Robin and Murray — of all the random team-ups — are fending off a Demo in a hot rod of their own (and Murray seems really into it for some reason). Multiple stick shifts are thrusted into gear. And our preview ends with the gang racing a rapidly closing Upside Down portal in a bid to get inside…can they make it? Of course they can; the real question is how they get back out.
Yesterday a section of Melrose Avenue in LA was shut down to make room for “One Last Ride,” an event promoting Stranger Things 5 that encouraged people to commute the street using their bikes instead — which feels a lot more like Portland than LA. Participants were encouraged to dress up as their favorite character from the show or just wear something fashionable from the 1980s. Netflix promised “immersive photo ops, pedal-powered activations, live entertainment, merch, giveaways, and an exclusive content drop,” but since we don’t live in the area and were unaware of this event until just now, we don’t have a clue what it looked like. But it is where the trailer released this morning first made its public debut.

The next time we probably discuss this show will be after the release of the first half. The monster army is almost here. Stranger Things 5 kicks off November 26 at 5 PM Pacific on Netflix.
