Entertainment Now | March 19 - 25, 2022 By Adam Thomlison TV Media Q: Do we know yet when "Stranger Things" is coming back? A: We do. And not only that, we know when it will stop coming back, though I guess that's not as exciting. Netflix officially announced last month that the long-awaited fourth season will be released in two "volumes" — half will be available on the streamer on May 27, and the other half on July 1. In other good news (and per- haps as an apology, since fans have been waiting since July 2019 for a new season), it said the new episodes will be "super-sized," meaning Season 4 will be twice as long as Season 3. But it can't all be good news. At the same time, Netflix an- nounced there will be one more season but that's it — the show will end with Season 5. The announcement included an official statement from creators Matt and Ross Duffer ("We All Fall Down," 2005) — typewritten on paper, which is a nice, period-ap- propriate touch — in which they say that they always intended the story to last "four or five seasons," so this is true to their vision. Q: My mother-in-law is trying to convince me that The Bea- tles did the voices of the vul- tures in the original version of "The Jungle Book." Is she right? A: The Beatles did not voice the vultures in the 1967 Disney classic "The Jungle Book," but they nearly did. And they nearly did again 50 years later. Reportedly, the Fab Four, near the height of their manic fame, were offered the roles but turned them down. They declined either because of scheduling conflicts or because John Lennon just didn't want to (the legend goes that he said they should hire Elvis Presley instead — Elvis was the group's pop rival at the time, and as much an American icon as Disney). Accounts also differ as to who approached whom, and it kind of matters. Some report that Beatles man- ager Brian Epstein took the idea to Disney, and that the filmmakers then proceeded to design the vul- tures with Beatles-esque mop-top haircuts, but Epstein had yet to ac- tually talk to his band. Either way, Disney stuck with the joke. After being turned down, the studio kept the character de- sign and hired four other actors with Liverpool accents to play them (hence your mother-in-law's 4 | Saturday morning 03/19 7 AM 7:30 8 AM 8:30 9 AM 9:30 10 AM 10:30 11 AM 11:30 12 PM 12:30 S1 S2 WTTV 4 CBS Saturday Morning (N) Lucky Dog Innovation Nation Mission: Unstop.
