Stranger Things Season 4 Russia Story Is Like Indiana Jones & Star Wars
Murray actor Brett Gelman has shared that the Russia story in Stranger Things season 4 is like Indiana Jones and Star Wars. The highly anticipated season 4 of the Netflix series will release in two volumes, the first on May 27 and the second on July 1. With episode runtimes that far exceed their past seasons, Stranger Things audiences will have plenty of content to keep them occupied between the two halves of the season.
Gelman portrays Murray Bauman, a former investigative journalist who was hired by Barbara's parents to investigate her death and went on to help Jonathan (Charlie Heaton) curate evidence of Hawkins National Laboratory being responsible for Barbara's death. In Stranger Things season 3, he helped Hopper (David Harbour) and Joyce (Winona Ryder) translate for their Russian scientist captive Alexei. Murray was the comedic relief in Hopper's and Joyce's season 3 storyline and became, in a similar manner to what he did for Nancy and Jonathan, their number one supporter for their romantic endeavors.

He also added Indiana Jones into the mix by speaking specifically of Harrison Ford's ability to maintain humor amid riveting action. Gelman insisted there's an overall comedic "vibe" of "Oh, my god. I can’t believe that this horrible thing is happening right now." See
