Things We Saw Today: Perfect Stranger Things Homage Posters

It’s not quite time for Stranger Things season 2 just yet, but with the arrival of September 1, we’re all feeling a bit spookier, so let’s revel in these eerie throwback poster homages to some of our old school favorites. They’re all-too-fitting for a series that, itself, drew so heavily on movie influences from our childhoods, and you can check the rest of them out on The Playlist.

• Hey, remember when we had a president who wasn’t an international embarrassment? What about a president who had better communication skills than unending, typo-ridden tweetstorms? Get nostalgic for those days by reading the letter President Obama wrote to the man who would enter the White House after him. Maybe someone on Fox News can read it aloud to Donald Trump.
• Or, if you’d like a simpler reminder of those better times, here’s Michelle Obama dressed up as Beyoncé for her birthday.
• Neither Shia LeBeouf or his character, Mutt Williams, will be in the next Indiana Jones movie.
• A climate science denier has been selected to lead NASA, by the way. We look forward to all the science he would rather not do.

That’s all for this holiday Monday! We’ll be back with more tomorrow. What did you see out there today?
