It’s nice to see down to earth dudes make it big in Hollywood and later not change into punks. People like Ryan Reynolds, Chris Pratt, and Joe Keery. There’s not many left to put into this category.

[@assortedguts]

BRO, THE FACT THAT HE LISTENS TO THE DONKEY KONG SOUNDTRACK IS CRAZY. I love it

[@sanestacefan]

Spree got to be my fav movie tbh, like not only because of the comedy but because (as much this sounds weird) it could happen anytime in this world, its realistic, how obsession turns the most innocent of the people into attention seeker monsters

[@leetheflea4096]

I didn't know Keery was in Free Guy prominently so I was delighted when I saw him. "THAT'S STEVE!"

[@oliverzwatermelongum]

i saw him in a clip of it and was like omg

[@traciball3090]

These actors that star in Stranger Things are so good, I do not say "Winona Ryder", I say "Joyce Byers". I am a child of the 80s and Winona is my age and my age group icon with such amazing credits, but in this show she is Joyce. I love that so much!! Thank you Joe Keery, for being Steve and being one of the greatest characters of all time.

[@flala2261]

He looks So handsome in this vid

I’m sad I didn’t get to see Spree at Sundance earlier this year! It looks intense, I’ll have to check it out. I like that Joe is branching out and exploring other types of movies/projects.

[@nymphohalo]

It’s out in theaters and on demand now Y’all after seeing the movie Hands down do it It was fucking amazing and I’m gonna see it again on demand Joe killed it as usual and the story was deadass good

I feel like the movie needed a truly dark and dramatic scene or that Kurt would freeze for a good 4 seconds after each kill it would just show he is not okay and not normal

Check Joe out in the death to 2020 and death to 2021 netflix shows. They were written by charlie brooker, the writer of black mirror. Incredible satirical funny takes on the past two years we've all been living. Joe plays a hilarious character.
