Stranger Things — Series 5: Chapter 5 — Shock Jock — A Review

6th March, 2026: “Shock Jock”.

An Introduction.

If I’m being completely honest?

I’ll admit to a certain amount of glumness.

I suffer with depression, so you know: and, usually, the fluoxetine I take is a big help.

But Wednesday, just gone, was my birthday: and it’s … … 

Well, getting older has bitten: and left me feeling miserable.

More so than usual.

No: before you ask.

It’s not bad enough to want to do anything stupid!

But?

I’m very aware of some things:

Playing some of the sillier games on my computer keeps me busy, and helps lift my mood.

Buying unhealthy snacks does likewise: although I’m equally aware that’s not a good option, as I struggle with my weight.

That I should possibly make another appointment with my GP: and talk about upping the dosage.

Heigh … ho!

Something else that should keep me busy?

Or, at least, has, recently?

Is simply watching TV.

As you’re aware, I’ve recently been watching the last series of Stranger Things fifth season.

Last week?

I caught “Sorcerer”.

Tonight?

I’ll be settling in with Chapter five, “Shock Jock”: then finishing this review by this coming Monday, 9th March.

I hope you’ll be reading it!

Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 8th July, 2024.

8th July, 2024.

Right, then … Mondays … !

I think I’ve got a certain world-weariness about Mondays.

But, then again?

So does a lot of the planet!

At any rate … ?

I’m due at my weight management group, this morning.

Hopefully?

I’ll’ve lost more weight!

You’re possibly aware I’m in Brentwood: a town in Essex.

And you’re possibly also aware that Brentwood’s not far from a town called Basildon.

Basildon and Romford?   Are the two nearest towns with cinemas.

And, frankly?

It looks like Basidon’s due to get another one.

Good for them.

Speaking personally, though?

I would LOVE to have seen that cinema opening here in Brentwood.

It’s been years since we’ve had one.

Stranger Things: Series 3 — Episode 8— Chapter 8: The Battle of Starcourt — A Review

26th July, 2019.

Right …

I’ve officially got pressed the Techno playlist in iTunes: and happily got Kraftwerk playing through the Apple TV at the moment.

Right at the moment … ?



I’ve got Mousse T on the go: followed by the Grid’s Swamp Thing.

Which is possibly NOT want you want to hear at this time of night.

But, hey … I’m enjoying it.

~≈†≈~

At any rate … ?



Yes: the video’s right.

Potentially right, at any rate.

It looks like the barometer in Britain hit the UK’s highest recorded temperature, yesterday.

Peaking at a record 38.7ºC in Cambridge.

Frankly?

I’m just grateful I had a shower, today … 



Oh … and that it rained a bit.

Not that I was worried about the latter.

By the time it started … ?

I was safely indoors watching TV.

Yes, you’re right.

I’ve watched the last episode of Stranger Things series 3 …

Stranger Things: Series 3 — Episode 7— Chapter 7: The Bite — A Review

25th July, 2019.

Yes: that video was made at roughly 20:00, this evening.

And, yes: apparently?

It was supposed to be raining.



Was, I emphasise.

Right at the moment … ?



The best way I can describe the weather … ?

Is by saying “It’s muggy … ”

~≈¥≈~



The kind of muggy that means two things, as far as I’m concerned.

Firstly?

It’s the second time in as many days that I’ve had two showers.

And secondly?

I watch TV with the windows open, again … 

Yes: watching series 3 of Stranger Things … 

~≈¥≈~

Stranger Things: Series 3 — Episode 6— Chapter 6: E Pluribus Unum — A Review

24th July, 2019.

Yep: it’s twenty-five to ten on a Wednesday night … 

And it’s still warm, even with the windows open … !



It’s … 

Well, frankly, it’s been warm enough for me to have my second shower of the the day … just to try to cool down.

It’s that toasty.

The only good thing … ?



Is that we’re expecting rain on Saturday.

I’m looking forward to that.

~≈¥≈~

At any rate … ?



Open windows at this time of year?

Are a boon.

Especially when it‘s time to sit in front of an overheated TV.

One that’s just helped me get through Act Three of the Marble Hill Zone, in the original Sonic the Hedgehog … 

Oh … and another episode of Stranger Things, series 3 …
