    Matthew is one of my 1980’s celebrity crushes. He’s hot then, and he’s still hot now. He’s one of the great actors, who can play good roles and bad roles brilliantly. As Dr. Brenner in Stranger Things, he’s an evil man, but he acts nice, caring and loving because he’s a master manipulator. That’s so cool to see a lot of 1980’s stars are and were on Stranger Things, like Matthew, Wynona (my ‘80’s-‘90’s queen), love Sean Astin, and of course, my horror movie king, my Freddy Krueger, Robert England.

      I agree. I always like watching Matthew Modine interviews... I can't remember the little shorts series with celebrities doing things, but he was so chill/weird/kind/sweet. He was getting a straight razor shave with hot lather etc. I think he unexpectedly wore a bathrobe and slippers or something. Like a way to be non-pretentious while doing something insanely pretentious (getting filmed while getting a fancy grooming thing done!)

  • @ElianaRosalind

    He's one hellfire of an actor.
    Throughout the series I've oscilated between him being an absolute monster but sometimes his motivations, delivery of lines and capability to manipulate made me believe him almost.
    As of season 4, the first one is absolutely true and Eleven ultimately choosing not to forgive him will be one of my favorite scenes forever, because of the strenght it took to finally say enough.

    ‘Birdie’ with Matthew Modine and Nicholas Cage was the first film I saw him in and absolutely killed me when it came out. I never thought of war/combat the same way again. I was of two minds, one where glory is there for the man who steps up, and my friends father who suffered terribly from his experiences in Vietnam. We didn’t quite know what that entailed but everyone knew. Great performances. Then Full Metal Jacket. What can you say. So great to see him again.

But I will deff be rewatching the series. My daughter had seen seasons 1-3 so I watched what I could with her but wound up watching more without her and have stopped at episode one of the first part of season 4. Had a feeling he was coming back after season 2 reveal but was surprised to get thru all of season three without seeing him. Tho the main baddie in season 2 seemed to redeem his self by the end and popped up back up at the end of season 3. Anyway yeah.

    The craziest part about all of this is that his voice is basically the same. He doesn’t have to disguise it much for his role as Papa, so it’s weird to see him as such a happy and kind person in real life. Hearing him say nice and nostalgic things in his normal Papa voice is actually just so soft and smol, but it has a totally different feel when he’s acting. He’s clearly great at what he does! All the best to Matthew.

    Jack and the beanstalk: the real story was/is an incredible film and sooooo underrated, best tv movie ever made, back in 2000 when tv movies were a B-movie staple.

    The series he was filming in Italy was likely Sanctuary, which he was also terrific in. Wish more people saw it

    I wish he would do a Vision Quest reboot like Cobra Kai (for Karate Kid) where Louden Swain meets Shute 1 last time as now senior citizens. They get in a huge Twitter fight and settle it with a Bingo Night Extravaganza where winner takes all.

    Visionquest for us early 80s teens was amazing!

    Sometimes I wonder how many Marines joined because of this man. I wanted to be Joker but ended up being a Pyle.
