New trailers: Christopher Nolan's war film, Netflix's rave movie, and more

Stranger Things is the first thing in a long time to make me glad I have Netflix. I'm only four episodes in, so I don't want to say too much. Instead, I just want to ask what's up with one very specific part of the show: its episode titles. They're strange!

A lot of TV shows keep their episode titles to a standard format, like how most Friends' titles start as "The One With...". Stranger Things kinda sorta tries to do this, but then can't quite make up its mind.

First we have these two wonderful, beautiful titles for the first two episodes: "The Vanishing of Will Byers" and "The Weirdo on Maple Street." They're great! They have the same format, and they both sound like spooky stories, which they are. Perfect.

What comes after that is what puzzles me. Nearly all of the remaining episode titles are really plain, like "The Body" or "The Bathtub." They're fine enough, but they feel boring by comparison. At least the titles are consistent, though, sticking to the format of "The [object]."

For the most part, at least. For whatever reason, one episode — and only one episode — diverges from this format and is called "Holly, Jolly." I have no idea why this decision was made. Why must this one episode fall out of line? Was having a different title that important? Did they just get super lazy? This is arguably the show's strangest thing.

Check out seven trailers from this week below.
