The fourth season of Stranger Things is still in production, but the Duffer Brothers stopped by Netflix Geeked Week to give us info on four new characters joining the fourth season of the series.
- Amybeth McNulty, best known for her work in Anne with an E please Vickie, “a cool, fast-talking band nerd who catches the eye of one of our beloved heroes,” according to Netflix.
- Myles Truitt plays Patrick, “a Hawkins basketball star who has friends, talent, and a good life…until shocking events send his life spiraling out of control.”
- Regina Ting Chen plays Ms. Kelly, “a popular guidance counselor who cares deeply for her students — especially those struggling the most.”
- Grace Van Dien will play Chrissy, “Hawkins’ High lead cheerleader and the most popular girl in school. But beneath the seemingly perfect surface lies a dark secret.”

Gunpowder Milkshake clip
Gunpowder Milkshake is definitely one of the most anticipated films of the year, starring Karen Gillan as an assassin teaming up with her mom, played by Lena Headey, to save a kid. It also stars Angela Bassett, Michele Yeoh, and Carla Guigina. This is a kick-ass cast and rightfully so as you will see in this clip, the movie kicks some serious ass.
