Same thing the Duffer Brothers did with 80’s films to recreate red scare propaganda in Stranger Things

They didn't get nearly enough shit for filming a "gulag" in a literal former Nazi prison camp. And then they tried renting it out as a Stranger Things-themed Airbnb. Fucking ghouls.

Edit: How could I forget this asshole (cw: extremely cringe zionist). Someone needs to check what they're putting in the water on this show's set hitler-detector
