I really enjoy the Duffers interviews.. they are real movie lovers or nerds I’ll say who became directors and it’s fun to see how much they love to share the process ❤

Normalize mentioning stunt double names… The brothers are super cool but they could not mention the stunt double names which is inconsiderate. It’s a huge boost to their resume
