Only Netflix’s Tudum Could Put Lady Gaga, ‘Stranger Things,’ Ben Affleck and ‘Love Is Blind’ on the Same Stage. It Was Exhausting


By smashing together Lady Gaga, 'Stranger Things,' 'Love Is Blind' and 'Squid Game,' Tudum is designed as an ominbus fan event. But who does it serve?

It’s much more of a stretch to conclude that those same people are part of a core Netflix fandom that are also eagerly awaiting trailers for the next “Knives Out” movie “Wake Up Dead Man” and Guillermo del Toro’s “Frankenstein” with Oscar Isaac and Jacob Elordi, and dig the sight of Affleck and Damon as LAPD officers in the new original crime thriller “The Rip,” and are excited for the return of Shooter McGavin(Christopher McDonald) in “Happy Madison 2.” Most of the “Wake Up Dead Man” cast — including Kerry Washington, Jeremy Renner, Mila Kunis and Josh Brolin — joined writer-director Rian Johnson for an extended bit about melodramatic twists in murder mysteries. “Stranger Things” stars Noah Schnapp, Caleb McLaughlin and Finn Wolfhard appeared for one of the most affecting presentations, sharing behind-the-scenes footage of their favorite early memories from the show when they were still adorable pre-pubescent moppets, before introducing an intense, all-too-brief preview of their fifth and final season.
