Why The Kids Need Stranger Things
The Netflix original “Stranger Things” is a show full of nostalgia and adventure. It’s a show about how we can all be the heroes of our own story. But Stranger Things could never be set in the present day. This video explains why. And don’t worry, there are no major spoilers here!

Thank you, and goodbye. Now it's your turn.
My dear Out of Frame supporters.
On this special, final edition of Out of Frame, I want to take some time to thank you, talk about the future, discuss the state of ideas, and highlight the Steven Spielberg’s 1997 movie “Amistad” — which turns out to be the perfect vehicle for some of the things I want to say as I close out the show.
Freedom is the birthright, and the desire of virtually everyone on the planet, and yet the enemies of liberty are everywhere — power-hungry politicians and bureaucrats, “strong men” authoritarians, technocrats, socialists, and cowardly citizens — so the battle to maintain a world built on individual liberty and the dignity of human beings will never be definitively won for all time.
Fighting for a free society requires a passionate, energetic minority to carry the torch and persuade others with open hearts and open minds. It’s a task I’ve dedicated my life towards, and I’m leaving FEE and this series so that I can work on even bigger projects and try to make an even greater impact than I hope I’ve had here.
So with this final episode of Out of Frame, I wanted to challenge you to pick up where I’m leaving off. It’s YOUR turn to get creative, and I can’t wait to see what you come up with.
Cheers,
Sean W. Malone
Creator, Producer, Writer, and Host of Out of Frame.
