Gratuitous Joe Keery

.

I really thought that Netflix was dropping the second season of Stranger Things sooner than they are - what with all the Comic-Con hullabaloo and the trailer being released I figured we were only a few weeks away from reuniting with Eleven & Co. But no, the show's not out until right before Halloween. Oh well. Actor David Harbour instagrammed a picture of him & Joe Keery (who plays adorable boy-next-door Steve on the show) getting friendly...

... and reminded me I had gathered up some pictures of Mr. Keery a couple of months ago and I'm just going to go ahead and post them now. And instead of this post leading us into the show we'll just use it as a temporary high to get us a little closer to when the show finally debuts. 

Besides that Netflix phenom you should also know Joe Keery from Stephen Cone's lovely little film Henry Gamble's Birthday Party (you have seen that by now, right?) and he's also a musician - he's plays in a band called Post Animal. (You'll see some pictures of them mixed in below.) Oh and he's already lined up a role in Aaron Sorkin's upcoming movie Molly's Game with Idris Elba and Jessica Chastain. Oh and he's secretly kind of a fur-ball.

Which is kind of why we're here in the first place. Anyway do we think the second season of Stranger Things can live up to the crazy hype (and general success) of the first? Personally I'm mostly hoping that they give Winona Ryder plenty to do again, and that the Emmys take notice next time around. Fingers crossed. Until then let's all take those fingers and hit the jump for more Joe...
