By 2005, the popular "Resident Evil" series of zombie horror games desperately needed a facelift. The first three games were excellent for their time, but time kept moving.

"Resident Evil 4" changed everything, not just for the series, but for the genre as a whole. What was originally a Nintendo GameCube exclusive has since been re-released on every platform imaginable, with a spruced up HD version coming out on PS4 and Xbox One this week.

Here's how the horror classic looks in its newest form:

In "Resident Evil 4," you step into the shoes of Leon S. Kennedy, one of the heroes of "Resident Evil 2." The former cop has to rescue the president's daughter, who has been kidnapped by a cult and taken to rural Spain.

Instead of fighting zombies, "Resident Evil 4" changes things up by having Leon fight the local populace. Thanks to a mysterious virus, they've all become mindlessly hostile towards Leon.

The virus also has some...unfortunate side effects on its host.

Trevor Pryce is a two-time Super Bowl winner who started his own record label, and recently had a children’s series called "Kulipari" released on Netflix.

When I asked him what led him to success in this various disciplines, he replied that it all came down to hyperactivity.

“I was a hyperactive kid,” he explained. “That’s what people don’t really understand about athletics. Being hyper-creative and being hyperactive as an athlete are the same exact thing. It depends on how big and strong your body is. As a 12-year-old my brain worked the same way … A constant churning of the gears. I wanted to get up and write something, I wanted to get up and run, I wanted to make music, to go play basketball.”

Fast-forward to Pryce’s adult life, and he’s playing in the NFL. During the offseason he has two things: time and money. And he still has that drive, he has to do something.

That only increased when Pryce retired, he said.

And he's not the only one. Among pro athletes, Pryce knows a lot of people like him. “Maybe not as successful," he said. "But their minds work the same way."

NOW WATCH: Netflix just dropped a new 'Luke Cage' trailer and it looks incredible

Former "Tonight Show" host and comedy legend Jay Leno is one of the most prominent car guys in the Hollywood. Housed in a series of airplane hangars at Burbank Airport, his collection of over 200 cars and motorcycles are the envy of many around the world. Not only does Leno drive the cars, but he, along with a team of mechanics, also help to maintain and restore many of his priceless collection. In addition, the late night legend also possesses a near encyclopedic knowledge of automobiles and its history.

Business Insider had the chance to chat with Leno in 2014, and he imparted some of his automotive wisdom.

On what draws him to a particular car

"I like cars that are ahead of their times, and that were noble failures because they were built to a higher standard than the consumer needed. Cars like the Wills Sainte Claire or the Duesenberg."* 

*Wills Sainte Claire and Duesenberg were two upstart car companies from the 1920-30s who technologically advanced cars.

On safety regulations

"Corporations complained about [safety] regulations, but let's face it, people walk away from accidents now that would have killed them when I was a kid"

On how society will adapt to future challenges

"I believe engineers will save the world."

Between endorsement deals, royalty payments, fat salaries, and a multitude of side hustles, celebrities' net worths can skyrocket into the hundreds of millions.

Wealth-X, a firm that conducts research on the super-wealthy, culled its data to compile a list of the 20 richest celebrities, considering only actors, musicians, and professional athletes who are still working today. That means billionaires like Oprah and Michael Jordan — who are in more managerial roles rather than performance roles — weren't considered for this list, and neither were people who work primarily behind the scenes, like directors and producers.

Though no one on this list cracked billionaire status, the top two names — pop star Madonna and professional golfer Tiger Woods — are close, with $910 million and $900 million in the bank, respectively. Jerry Seinfeld came in at No. 3, with a net worth of $860 million, making him the wealthiest comedian and actor in the world.

From Academy Award-winning actors to rappers-turned-producers, here are the wealthiest celebrities still in the game:

20. Gloria Estefan

Age: 59

Net worth: $380 million

Profession: Musician

Country: US

Listeners across the US first took notice of Gloria Estefan in the mid-1980s as the face of Miami Sound Machine, the pop-disco-salsa fusion band started by her husband, Emilio Estefan.

The Estefans turned the Latin pop group, originally a Spanish wedding band, into a mainstream hit machine. Gloria eventually went solo, Emilio started a record label, and the pair earned a combined 26 Grammys throughout their careers.

Gloria and Emilio reside in a four-bedroom home in Miami complete with a library, gym, and separate guest villa — but it wasn't always that way. Both Estefans emigrated from Cuba as children during Fidel Castro's reign in the 1950s and '60s and grew up with nothing.

Their music careers brought the pair affluence, and other ventures have padded their net worth further, including their multimedia entertainment company Estefan Enterprises, a stake in the Miami Dolphins, and ownership of a string of hotels and restaurants across Florida.

In 2013, the Estefans' story also became permanently preserved in "On Your Feet!" — a Broadway musical the couple produced themselves.

19. Tyler Perry

Age: 46

Net worth: $390 million

Profession: Actor

Country: US

Playwright-turned-Hollywood-producer Tyler Perry is the creator of a popular stage play series he later adapted for film.

Perry has portrayed the frequent title character, Madea, an outspoken elderly black woman, in nearly two dozen plays and films since the late 1990s. To date, 16 Perry-branded films have grossed more than $765 million at the box office on budgets as low as $10 million.

Perry, who is based in Atlanta, established Tyler Perry Studios 10 years ago and is the creator of seven TV shows, four of which currently air on the Oprah Winfrey Network, including the hit drama "The Haves and the Have Nots" and the sitcom "Love Thy Neighbor."

18. Mel Gibson

Age: 60

Net worth: $400 million

Profession: Actor

Country: Australia

Born in New York but raised in Australia, Mel Gibson got his start acting when he attended the National Institute of Dramatic Art in Sydney.

After graduating in 1977, Gibson landed his first film role in "Summer City," a job that only paid him $400. He went on to act in a number of Australian plays and movies, including the "Mad Max" trilogy, before making a name for himself in the states.

A versatile actor, Gibson early on starred in films including "Hamlet" and the "Lethal Weapon" series, in which he received a $30 million paycheck for the fourth film.

In 1989, he expanded his résumé to include producer and director when he cofounded Icon Productions. He produced, directed, and acted in "Braveheart," which landed him two Academy Awards, for best picture and best director.

Gibson's biggest financial hit to date is "The Passion of the Christ," the 2004 religious epic he produced and directed. Though the film stirred some controversy, it only cost about $30 million to make and raked in nearly $612 million worldwide.

Whether it's this insane election year or the everyday stress of work or waiting until Hollywood unloads its best dramatic work later in the year, now is as good a time as ever to get a good laugh from one of the best comedies ever made.

Thankfully, Netflix has some great comedies that you can watch right now to brighten up your day.

Whether it's a classic like “Pee-wee's Big Adventure” or the new addition to the streaming giant, "Bill & Ted's Bogus Journey," there’s something to stream for all comedy tastes.

Here are the 23 best comedies streaming on Netflix:

SEE ALSO: 12 celebrities you didn't realize are absurdly rich

1. “Adventureland”

Nothing beats a good coming-of-age romantic comedy, and this is one of the better ones. Directed by Greg Mottola ("Superbad"), it follows James (Jesse Eisenberg) working his summer job at a broken-down amusement park who encounters a summer crush (Kristen Stewart).  

2. "Bill & Ted's Bogus Journey"

The sequel to "Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure," featuring the pleasant doofuses Bill S. Preston, Esq. (Alex Winter) and Ted "Theodore" Logan (Keanu Reeves), is worthy of the original hit, with robot versions of the duo out to destroy them. Oh, and Death makes an appearance.

3. “Burke and Hare”

One of John Landis' most underappreciated movies, this morbidly comic look at the infamous West Port murders stars Simon Pegg and Andy Serkis as the duo who grave-robbed to make some extra coin. But through Landis' lens, they are bumbling fools who, in their quest to make a quick buck, fall into some very gory situations.

A highlight is seeing Serkis act in the flesh. (He's known best for being the man behind the CGI creations of Gollum in the "Lord of the Rings" and most recently Caesar in "The Planet of the Apes" movies.)

The Labor Day weekend isn't giving us any huge hit, but don't tell Sony that.

The company's genre arm, Screen Gems, is currently riding high with the horror "Don't Breathe," which is number one at the domestic box office for the second straight week, taking in an estimated $15.5 million, according to Exhibitor Relations.

By the end of Labor Day weekend, the movie, which follows a group of thieves who plan to make a big score after robbing the house of a blind man only to find he's far from helpless, will have an estimated $19 million total.

The total is a strong performance for a horror (budgeted at just $9.9 million) and a final reminder that the true winners this summer-movie season were the titles that had some originality to them.

Coming in second is "Suicide Squad" with an estimated $10 million.

The demise of the latest DC Comics movie may have been premature. It blew away all the competition in August, taking in over $289 million at the domestic box office, though still below how fellow August comic-book release "Guardians of the Galaxy" performed in 2014 (over $333 million).

But with a worldwide total of $643.3 million, the movie is nearing closer to the $750 million to $800 million worldwide range that would mark it a bono fide success.

"Squad" might not reach that figure by the end of its theatrical run, but home video and streaming sales will put it in the black.

The movie's studio, Warner Bros., must be very happy with this outcome, following the movie's dismal reviews.

All wasn't well this weekend, however. The Kate Mara thriller "Morgan" only earned $1.86 million as of Sunday (2.26 million by Monday), on 2,000 screens. That's one of the worst opening-weekend performances for a wide release this summer. 

The fall movie season kicks off next weekend with the release of "Sully," directed by Clint Eastwood and starring Tom Hanks as "Miracle on the Hudson" pilot Chesley "Sully" Sullenberger. If the movie can open with a big number, Hollywood will be taking a big step into a potentially profitable fall.

Netflix's hatred of ads is one of its core philosophies.

Earlier this year, we found out that Netflix's lack of ads cuts out over six days of commercials from your life for the average subscriber, compared to cable TV.

Now Exstreamist has taken a look specifically at how Netflix affects children. They estimated that Netflix saves children 150 hours of commercials a year (6.25 days).

Here's how they figured it out:

• They compiled academic research and found that the average child between ages 2 and 18 streams about 1.8 hours a day of content from Netflix, Hulu, YouTube, and other online services.
• This means kids stream 650 hours a year, on average.
• Then they turned to Nielsen, which said that every hour of TV contained over 14 minutes of ads, on average (broadcast and cable). Note: This data is from 2014.
• That means that if a child had his or her streaming time replaced with TV time, they would pick up roughly 150 hours of commercials.

Here is a chart put together by Exstreamist that shows children's streaming habits:

Children’s programming has become a major focus for “over-the-top” players like Netflix, Amazon, Hulu, and HBO. Netflix will launch 35 kids and family originals by the end of 2016, according to the company. Amazon doesn’t have quite the volume, but it has produced as many original kids shows as it has comedies (and twice the number of dramas). HBO also made headlines late last year when it struck a deal for iconic show "Sesame Street."

Why have these companies been making such big investments?

One reason is that their ad-free nature can prove an advantage. The difference between children’s programming with ads and without can be immediately apparent, when requests for the latest sugary cereal suddenly slow down.

This fact means that Netflix, Amazon, and their no-commercial rivals could derive an even greater benefit for their lack of advertising in children’s programming than in other types. Hulu even streams all its children's programming ad-free, even on tiers that normally include ads. Adults might be annoyed by ads, but children are molded by them.

"We know one of the benefits of an ecosystem like Netflix is its lack of advertising," Howard Shimmel, a chief research officer at Time Warner,told Bloomberglast year. "Consumers are being trained there are places they can go to avoid ads."

But there could be another indirect result. Parents are being trained not to have to deal with their children’s fascination with the latest toy that's being hawked on TV.

In jail, violence is always around the corner.

Inmates strategically use fights to settle disputes and climb the political ladder. And if inexperienced inmates can't adapt to their dangerous surroundings, they'll live in constant fear of another beating.

That's what one participant on the A&E documentary show "60 Days In" learned during his stay at Clark County Jail in Jeffersonville, Indiana. The show follows eight volunteers who go undercover as inmates to expose problems within the system.

One of the volunteers, Ryan, observed that a strict social hierarchy governed his pod of inmates. Fights broke out between members of different social groups over virtually any perceived slight — from spreading gossip or talking too loudly at night to reneging on a deal to trade hash browns. 

Ryan, who did not use his last name on the show, further explained what purpose violence serves behind bars:

"One thing the public doesn't know about is that in jail, violence is almost necessary. It's a way that that society, if you will, keeps peace. It's instilling fear. It's something along the lines of a political party, and violence is almost like the campaign platform they run upon. It keeps everything in check if anyone steps out of line."

In some cases, clique leaders even arranged the fights as calculated moves to address the shifting dynamics of the pod.

"If there is a white guy that happens to be in disagreement with a Hispanic guy or a black guy, instead of those guys fighting, which could potentially cause a race riot to just break out, some other people would fight," Ryan told Business Insider. "A black guy will fight the black guy or a white guy would fight the white guy to prevent a lot of stuff from going down."

Those higher on the ladder constantly test new inmates, according to Ryan. A new inmate can gain trust by performing "gofer" tasks, like obtaining information from corrections officers or collecting debts from other inmates, usually in the form of food or commissary money.

Inmates are sometimes asked to leave secret notes for officers or other inmates, a practice known as "flying a kite." If they're caught by members of a different social group, however the consequences can be severe.

"There are internal groups that become judge, jury, and executioner all rolled into one," Ryan said. "You're judged by a jury of your peers, and violence is the sentence no matter what. It's never like, 'You owe me packs of ramen noodles.' That's nothing."

Merely accepting the challenge of a fight is enough to earn the respect of other inmates, regardless of the outcome, Ryan explained. But refusing to participate is considered the ultimate act of cowardice among inmates. Failure to adapt to the jail's unwritten rules can be devastating to an inmate's chances of a relatively peaceful stint behind bars.

"If you don't pick up those rules, you become an example, and you're what they call 'bad business.' You're labeled as a b----, and you never live that down," Ryan explained. "If you are labeled anything negative, you stay like that until you prove otherwise. The burden of proof is inverted — it's on you to prove that you're not that person, and if you don't, you will remain that person."

Ryan, an aspiring police officer and former Army Reserve medic, managed to avoid any physical confrontations during his two months at Clark County Jail. He said he surprised his fellow inmates with his experience in various martial arts, including jiu jitsu and aikido, and because of his small frame, became known as a "sleeper."

Still, Ryan learned countless tips every inmate must internalize to stay afloat: Memorize the layout of every cell. Fight behind the bathroom curtain, so cameras can't capture the action. Use the heel of your palm to strike other inmates — guards can point to teeth marks on a closed fist as proof of involvement. In a pinch, a Bic pen makes "a very sturdy makeshift weapon."

"You should never fear violence, though," Ryan said. "If you take that beating, you're more respected. So it's something people shouldn't be afraid of."

The next episode of "60 Days In" airs Thursday on A&E at 9:00 p.m. Eastern Time.

NOW WATCH: This popular fan theory perfectly explains 'Stranger Things'

There's a fantastic crop of talent starring on new television shows this fall.

Business Insider took a look at the pilots, canvassed the first-look clips, and chose a pretty dynamic list of newbies to watch over the next few months.

This year's list represents some real dedication among TV producers to reflect diversity in their casting. It also includes actors and actresses you may recognize from some of your favorite shows already.

Unlike our list of fall TV's biggest stars, these people have yet to lead a series (though some will do that now) or become a household name. But among fall's freshman class, these are the talented people who will likely become the center of water-cooler conversations.

Meet 10 fresh faces of the fall 2016 TV season:

Chrissy Metz, 'This Is Us' (NBC)

You may recognize Chrissy Metz from FX's "American Horror Story: Freak Show" as Barbara, aka the "Fat Lady."

On "This Is Us," she plays Karen, who struggles with an eating disorder and romantic issues.

William Jackson Harper, 'The Good Place' (NBC)

Since 2007, William Jackson Harper has appeared in small roles on several TV shows including "Person of Interest," "The Blacklist," and "Law & Order: Criminal Intent."

On "The Good Place," he plays Kristen Bell's charismatic guide to heaven.

Kylie Bunbury, 'Pitch' (Fox)

Last seen on CBS's now canceled "Under the Dome," Kylie Bunbury also starred on Spike TV's first scripted project, "Tut."

This fall, she heads up her own show as Ginny, the first female pitcher for the San Diego Padres, on Fox's "Pitch."

"Stranger Things" has become Netflix's latest smash hit.

The first season of the series, set in the 1980s, from brothers Matt and Ross Duffer ("Wayward Pines"), which is set to return for a second season in 2017, follows the disappearance of a young boy and the monstrous chain of events it launches in the small town.

Not only does the show star iconic '80s actress Winona Ryder, but it introduces a whole new cast of kids viewers can't help but fall in love with.

It's not hard to see why fans have taken so passionately to "Stranger Things," which borrows heavily from the era's most beloved movies including "E.T." and "Stand By Me." The more devoted viewers are tearing apart every scene, finding new clues and developing wild theories.

But in case you're a little behind or just plain don't want to watch all eight episodes (or maybe monster stories just scare you too much), Business Insider has created this quick recap of all the major plot points.

Here's everything you need to know from the first season of "Stranger Things" (spoilers galore, of course):

'Chapter 1: The Vanishing of Will Byers'

A monster is loose: It's 1983. In an isolated laboratory in Hawkins, Indiana, some kind of monster has escaped from its holding cell and is killing whoever gets in its way.

A boy goes missing: Young Will Byers (Noah Schnapp) and his friends Mike (Finn Wolfhard), Dustin (Gaten Matarazzo), and Lucas (Caleb McLaughlin) are playing an intense role-playing game. The game is cut short by Michael's mom. Will, Dustin, and Lucas grab their bikes and leave for home.

While racing, Will separates from the other guys and finds himself close to the laboratory when he senses something is following him. When he gets home, he finds that his mother and brother aren't home. Sensing that the monster is still after him, Will runs to a shed behind the house, arms himself with a gun, and holds his ground. None of that helps. With a flickering light, poof, Will is gone.

The next morning, Will's mom, Joyce (Winona Ryder), and older brother, Jonathan (Charlie Heaton), discover that Will isn't home. She decides to report Will missing to the police chief, Jim Hopper, a mess of a man.

He insists on speaking with Joyce's ex-husband — Will and Jonathan's father — but she is sure Will would never go to him. She insists that he look outside her family for Will's abductor.

A young girl with strange powers is on the run: Meanwhile, a young girl named Eleven arrives at Benny's Diner. Her head is shaved, she's wearing a hospital gown, she has limited speech, and she's ravenously hungry.

After Benny feeds her, he calls for social workers to come and pick her up. But instead of the social workers, armed agents arrive to take Eleven. In the end, Benny is killed, and somehow Eleven fights off the agents and escapes.

Worlds collide: Tired of waiting for the police to do something, Will's friends decide to search for him on their own. That's when they meet Eleven.

Joyce gets a phone call. Despite the static, she swears she can hear Will breathing on the other end.

'Chapter 2: The Weirdo on Maple Street'

Eleven knows where Will is: The boys bring Eleven back to Mike's house. They can't tell his parents about her because they weren't supposed to be out at night looking for Will. Plus, Eleven says that "bad people" are after her.

As Eleven becomes more comfortable with the boys, she shows them some of her powers, closing Mike's door with her mind. After recognizing Will from a picture, Eleven tells the guys he's hiding from a monster.

While hiding in a dark closet from Will's mother, a scared Eleven flashes back to being dragged into a dark cell at Hawkins Laboratory.

Another strange call for Joyce: Joyce gets another phone call, which she believes is from Will. The lights go nuts and the walls start to warp.

The monster claims another victim: Mike's older sister, Nancy (Natalia Dyer), has started a relationship with one of the cool guys at school, Steven (Joe Keery). He's always trying to have sex with her, and asks her to join him and and another couple for a pool party at his house. A sexually naive girl, Nancy asks her best friend, Barb (Shannon Purser), to come along.

Meanwhile, Jonathan is taking photos in the woods when he happens upon Steve's house and realizes that his crush, Nancy, is at the pool with a few friends. For some reason, he takes pictures of the teens splashing about.

When the others go upstairs to hook up, Barb stays at the pool. Soon she finds herself being pulled away by the monster.

'Chapter 3: Holly, Jolly'

The Upside Down world: We find out that Barb (along with possibly Will) is stuck in some kind of world based on the one we live in. It looks like our reality, but it's darker and emptied of furniture. Barb is apparently running from the monster.

Nancy comes clean on Barb: After trying to buy some time to find Barb on her own, Nancy finally tells her mom that Barb is missing.

Eleven's terrible life: While the boys are at school, Eleven explores Mike's house. Different things bring back memories of her life in the lab.

A scientist named Dr. Brenner (Matthew Modine) is behind the testing, but also acts as a father figure to Eleven. She's asked to move things with her mind. At one point, she's forced back to her cell and ends up killing the men who took her there.

The search for Will goes cold: Chief Hopper wonders if Will's disappearance has something to do with the strange secrecy surrounding Hawkins Laboratory. He talks his way into the lab and finds very little. But upon watching security footage from the night Will disappeared, he realizes there's no rain in the footage. That's strange because there was a big storm that night. Hopper begins to think Brenner may know more than he's admitting.

Convinced that Will is using the electricity and phone lines to speak to her, Joyce has hung up hundreds of Christmas lights all over her living room. Some correspond to an alphabetical grid, kind of like a Ouija board, that she's written on the wall. It seems to work.

She asks Will if he's alive, and the lights indicate "yes." Then she asks him if he's safe and the answer is "no." Things go haywire and something looks to be stretching into her walls. Will is on the run.

Meanwhile, the boys ask Eleven to lead them to Will. When she brings them to his house, they go crazy on her. They don't understand that he could very well be right there, but in the Upside Down version.

They then hear sirens and follow them to a quarry where they see a body being pulled out of the water. It looks like Will.

With the fall approaching, it's time to catch up on the movies you missed over the summer and get excited for your favorite TV shows to start back up. 

And you can do both on your favorite streaming providers in September.

Over at iTunes you can pre-order hits like "Captain America: Civil War" and "The Conjuring 2," while at Amazon Woody Allen's first-ever TV show, "Crisis in Six Scenes," premieres on September 16.

"Stranger Things" producer-director Shawn Levy couldn't be prouder of the fact that audiences have become obsessed with the Netflix show just as it is.

But when he talked to Business Insider on Tuesday, he revealed how an important moment in the finale of the first season almost didn't happen — and without it, we'd be going into the just-announced season two with different implications.

At the close of chapter eight, "The Upside Down," police chief Jim Hopper (David Harbour) brings food from his station's Christmas party and leaves it in a box in the woods, along with a few Eggos. The short but crucial moment indicates that Eleven (Millie Bobby Brown), the girl with psychokinetic abilities that saved the town from a monster and who has since vanished, could still be alive.

But according to Levy, in the original script, Hopper does not leave Eggos.

"It was just going to be some food from the party," Levy told Business Insider. "['Stranger Things' creators-directors] The Duffers and I were talking about the scene over dinner one night and together we hatched this idea of leaving the Eggos specifically just to hint who he might be leaving the food for, or the hope of who he would be leaving the food for. That was one of 50 decisions that you stumble into and they become defining moments."

It would certainly be less clear what Hopper was doing if the Eggos weren't included.

Netflix announced Wednesday that there will be a second season of "Stranger Things" comprised of nine episodes.

Levy would not reveal to Business Insider whether Eleven will be back. Though the Duffer brothers have said in numerous interviews that they want to continue the story with the main kids, they were vague with Entertainment Weekly about the fate of Eleven.

"“We don’t know about Eleven,” Ross Duffer said. “We leave that up in the air.”

NOW WATCH: I waited in line for 9 hours to see 'Hamilton' — here's what it was like

Netflix has announced that its hit series "Stranger Things" is returning for a second season in 2017. But fans still have a lot of open questions about where the plot will go.

So who's coming back? What new thrills do show creators Matt and Ross Duffer have in store for us? And are we returning to the Upside Down?

The brothers have thrown out some hints.

Here's everything we know so far about season two.

Season two will pick up a year later.

Though the Duffers thought about starting the story a full decade after the events of season one, they decided to stay close to what we saw unfold.

"There’s still things that are unresolved," Ross Duffer told Entertainment Weekly. 

Most of the main characters are returning.

Rejoice, people who loved "Stranger Things" for the same reason they loved "The Goonies"! The gang is back.

You can expect Will (Noah Schnapp), Mike (Finn Wolhard), Dustin (Gaten Matazarro), Joyce (Winona Ryder), Hopper (David Harbour), and many more from season one to return.

But it's still murky if Eleven (Millie Bobby Brown) will reunite with the other kids.

“We don’t know about Eleven,” Ross Duffer told EW. “We leave that up in the air.” 

There will also be four new characters.

Though the Duffers are staying mum on any specifics, EW reports that one episode in season two is titled "The Lost Brother," which might be an introduction to one of the new characters. 

“There’s going to be a lot of new and interesting dynamics that we didn’t see in season one,” Matt Duffer told The Wrap.

There's never a bad time to sit back and watch a good action movie. 

The nonexistent (or besides-the-point) plot, the constant explosions, the muscular heroes doing what needs doing: What better way to take time out from the daily grind?

Thankfully, Netflix has a great collection of action movies right now, including the addition in September of classics like "Top Gun" and "Jaws."

Here are 27 action movies we highly recommend that you can stream on Netflix:

“Armageddon” (1998)

Bruce Willis and Ben Affleck go to space to save the world from a hurtling asteroid. With "Bad Boys" and "The Rock" already under his belt, director Michael Bay became the top action director going into the 2000s with this film.

“Back to the Future” (1985)

This classic is filled with machine gun-toting Libyans and a race to make it in time for a lightning storm that will keep you antsy (in a good way) the whole running time.

“Battle Royale” (2000)

In the future, kids are forced to an island and must kill one another until only one is left standing. The Japanese title has been hugely influential on genre filmmaking in the 2000s.

Earlier this year, we talked about what songs had the potential to be the "song of the summer" with both Spotify's head of trends, Shannon Cook, and iHeartMedia's Tom Poleman, who oversees programming for 850+ radio stations.

Both prominently mentioned Drake's "One Dance" and Justin Timberlake's "Can't Stop the Feeling" as strong contenders.

As summer draws to a close, with checked back in with Spotify to see which songs actually dominated the rooftops, barbecues, and beach days of the summer.

A surprise: Justin Timberlake didn't have quite the staying power we might have thought, but Drake turned out to rule the summer. Timberlake's songs slotted in at #5 on the global chart, but didn't even make Spotify's US one. Drake, on the other hand, took the top two spots on the US.

Here are Spotify's lists for top songs of the summer:

Spotify’s global top songs of the summer:

1. Drake (feat. Wiz Kid, Kyla) - One Dance
2. Calvin Harris (feat. Rihanna) - This Is What You Came For

5. Justin Timberlake - CAN’T STOP THE FEELING

NOW WATCH: An extremely rare 6.9-metre white whale calf was just spotted off the coast of Australia

John Oliver proposed a series of maxims similar to the "never wear white after Labor Day" rule on his latest "Last Week Tonight" web exclusive. 

"We should be using more holidays as arbitrary points to stop doing things," Oliver joked, before fleshing out a humorous list of new holiday rules. 

"We should have a rule that, after Thanksgiving, you have to stop decorating your home with gourds," the host said. "It's cute in October, it's acceptable but obnoxiously folksy in November, but after that, you're just keeping loose produce lying around."

Oliver then suggested that people stop consuming eggnog on New Year's Eve, "because if you start your calendar year by consuming a beverage with the density and nutritional value of molten steel, scrap the rest of your resolutions and take care of your f------ nog problem."

Toward the end of the segment, the host switched from holiday-centric decrees and began prohibiting mundane things like the phrase "That's interesting," recommending that people opt to say "Bless you" in its place.

"From now on, when someone tells you a boring story, simply say, 'Bless you,' like you were just sneezed on, because that is what hearing about someone's travel delay feels like," Oliver said. 

HBO's "Last Week Tonight" returns from summer hiatus on September 25.

NOW WATCH: This incredibly detailed Batman costume just set a Guinness World Record

Donald Glover's fans have waited about three years between the news that he was creating a new comedy, "Atlanta," and its much-anticipated premiere Tuesday at 10 p.m. on FX.

While it has felt like a long time to wait for a show, the former "Community" star and rapper feels it was just the right amount of time. But the public's knowledge of things that used to be more hidden has increased with the internet.

"First of all, when I was a kid, you wouldn’t hear, ‘Adam Sandler has a TV show coming.’ That wasn’t news," Glover told Business Insider during the recent Television Critics Association press tour. "There was no internet really for that. You’d just start seeing the ads a month or two before, and you’re like, ‘Oh, I guess I’m going to check this out.’ So I think it’s like people are like, ‘What took so long?’ I had to make the show. That was it... It’s just that people know more about the process, so they’re like, ‘It’s been three years.’ And I’m like, ‘That’s how long it takes to get a show done usually.’"

Glover acknowledges that the show hasn't been his sole focus since leaving NBC comedy "Community" in 2013. Under his rap pseudonym, Childish Gambino, he released a couple rap albums and toured. He has also appeared in a some big projects, such as the films "The Martian" and "Magic Mike XXL."

"I guess it could have happened faster, maybe if I wasn’t doing so many other things," Glover told us. "But in general, I think it’s just like people are more aware of the process, so it’s different. But also, I like taking my time. I don’t like to be rushed at all."

For viewers and TV critics, the time Glover spent making "Atlanta" will be well worth it. The offbeat comedy follows Earn (Glover) and his rapper cousin Alfred (Brian Tyree Henry), who are trying to get the music business to pay attention to them.

Their efforts will find plenty of discouraging and hilarious roadblocks while they knock around the tough streets and colorful characters of black Atlanta.

Glover knows the show's portrayal of Georgia's capital will be unique for TV.

"It’s the part of Atlanta I don’t think that people show, because it’s not ‘interesting’ to people," Glover said, making air quotes. "I put that in quotes because it’s not the part of Atlanta that’s been proven to sell. And I felt like I just knew there was a hunger for Atlanta s--- like that, but nobody had really figured out how to sell it. And I was like, I know how to sell it. It needs to just feel like you’re black, you know?"

And as for the Atlanta music scene, viewers will get some of that, but Glover isn't promising an education in the music industry on the show. That wouldn't be authentic for him.

"I’ve never been interested in seeing people make it. That s---’s boring to me," Glover said. "Sometimes life is boring, but even when life is boring, even when you’re just by yourself, it feels profound because it’s happening to you. And it’s through a point of view, and I felt like I don’t want a show about people making it, or just the struggle, which is super-easy for people to do, specifically with black shows. They’ll be like, ‘Oh, they’re struggling.’ Most people who live in everyday lives — white people, Chinese people, Mexican people — they’re living their lives, and they're trying to eat. I was more interested in that."

NOW WATCH: An actor from 'The League' has been telling this bogus 9/11 story for the past 14 years

Michael Strahan officially made his debut as a cohost on "Good Morning America."

The former NFL player started Tuesday by appearing at the "GMA" anchor desk alongside cohosts Robin Roberts and George Stephanopoulos.

ABC had released a funny debut video for Strahan, which had an excited young actor with a gap between his front teeth walking down the street as New Yorkers said hello to him. The tagline? "Remember that first-day-of-school feeling?"

Roberts referred to the video: “It is great to have you full-time with us. It does feel like the first day of school around here, doesn’t it?”

“The only thing I’m missing is my Spider-Man lunch box,” Strahan jokingly replied.

The first day of Strahan's cohosting gig arrives six months after the news broke that he was leaving syndicated daytime talk show "Live with Kelly and Michael," to join "GMA" in a full-time capacity. He continued in his part-time capacity at the morning show through the summer.

"GMA" is banking on Strahan's popularity to help producers increase the ratings gap between it and its main competitor, NBC's "Today."

After the April announcement that Strahan would be leaving the show, "Live" cohost Kelly Ripa then controversially took several unannounced days off from the show, later explaining that she had been blindsided by the announcement and needed time to process the news.

"Live" is currently using rotating guest cohosts. In the same manner in which Strahan came on, the guest cohosts are essentially auditioning on-air for the open position next to Ripa.
