Celeb Gogglebox on The Max Scene

It’s been seven months since Stranger Things came out with its incredible Max Scene. Watching Max (Sadie Sink) defy the odds and attempt to escape the (literal) clutches of villain Vecna through the power of Kate Bush was an emotional moment that has seemed to stay in the public consciousness longer than many other bits of pop culture. Relive the feeling of that moment by watching some UK celebrities experience it via the Channel 4 show Gogglebox. Gogglebox is essentially just people reacting to what’s on television, including the news and all that. UK Celebrity Gogglebox has some famous people reacting to specific queued up scenes.

Admittedly I don’t recognize everyone here. There’s Joanna Lumley from Absolutely Fabulous, and Melanie (Sporty Spice) from the Spice Girls, and then there’s a couple of comedians that always seem to pop up on British TV. But it’s less about the star power than it is about watching people go through the emotions of the scene while “Running Up That Hill” plays (which was always a bigger deal in the UK than the States, anyways). It’s a little thing but seeing these common moments of concern and joy creates a unifying feeling that we’re not so different after all.
