Good enough

Those who have caught up with "Stranger Things" and are eager for more may want to reunite with 1985's "The Goonies," Richard Donner's milder but just as entertaining adventure. If the kids, including "Stranger" star Sean Astin, don't charm you, Cyndi Lauper's theme song will.

Look before you leap

If "Jackass" seems like child's play to you, try "Action Figures 2," in which X Games superstar Travis Pastrana tests the boundaries of extreme human performances in one crazy stunt after another. The original 2015 movie is also available in the Sony Crackle library.

We hardly knew ye

Comedy Central's search for a solid companion to "The Daily Show" continues. "The Opposition With Jordan Klepper," an all-too obvious copycat of "The Colbert Report," is signing off after just nine months on the air. While that's not terrible news for its star, who will be getting another series from the network, it doesn't bode well for the network, which will temporarily fill the time gap with reruns of "The Office." Is it too late to bring back Larry Wilmore?
