Good Lord, it is fantastic. Over-the-top 80s gore and a killer synthwave score. Can’t wait for the next one.

If you liked Stranger Things, but want 15% more cheese and 100% more gore, you’re in luck.

Go.

Watch it.

Now.

Once you are done, watch it a second time. It gets better with subsequent viewings as long as you let it marinade for a while. The soundtrack is spectacular, done by Le Matos.

Then watch some Kung Fury and Chopping Mall.

Next, go listen to Waveshaper, Dance with the Dead, Lazerhawk, Carpenter Brut, Perturbator, Scandroid, Mitch Murder, Power Glove, Robert Parker, etc

Finally, get into your DeLorean and drive off into your neon sunset.

I think you’re the one who turned me on to synthwave after I watched Stranger Thing and you introduced me to S U R V I V E.

Needless to say I’ve had an ever-growing synth playlist ever since.

Indeed I am. I will shamelessly share my Google Music Playlist for you to give a listen should you want to:

It is by no means a complete list, but I am constantly adding to it as I find new synth artists.

Oh, and if you fancy pinball games, check out PinOut on Ipad of Android. Its free for the base version of the game and its full of synthy neon deliciousness.

That movie is an absolute gem. Even though it’s goofy as hell, I was totally wrapped up in the story and the characters. It’s an amazing trick.
