Hello everyone, its Cameron, and welcome to Friday's edition of Blockbusters and Schlock-busters, today's subject? the 2016 Netflix Original Series: Stranger Things created by Matt and Ross Duffer. Image Sourced from IMDb: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt4574334/ Stranger Things follows groups and individuals in Dawkins, a small American town, after local boy Will Beyers goes missing, and tells the story of their efforts to uncover the mysteries behind Will's disappearance and ultimately bring Will home.

When we think of the genre ‘Documentary’ we presume that it’s going to be old and boring. I’ll be talking about the T.V series Top Gear. The program originally began life in 1977, as a half hour motoring program on the BBC in the United Kingdom. The original format ran for twenty-four years. Then came the rise of Top gear in 2001. The show was revamped, where three middle-aged blokes reviewed cars, played hilarious jokes on each other and go nuts with their high-end supercars around a converted runway racetrack, pouring smoke all over the track. Every year the boys broadcast a special episode where they go on a trip somewhere around the globe and wreak havoc on each other’s life but still maintaining to keep it factual, after all it’s a documentary.
