An eternal icon!
Winona Ryder hilariously slammed Netflix’s subscription prices while promoting the newest season of Stranger Things, a Netflix show.
Everyone is still talking about Stranger Things, whether that be Kate Bush’s return to the charts or wild fan theories, and now the iconic Winona Ryder is trending once more.
In a now-viral clip from the show’s world premiere in May, the 50-year-old spoke on the streaming platform’s obscene subscription prices.

Asked when she knew the show was a “big deal”, Ryder said that she realised when promotion for the show landed in her email.
“Well, I’m not on social media but I do remember the day it premiered, I got an email from Netflix changing my subscription price,” she told hosts Josh Horowitz and Terri Schwartz. “It went from like $9.99 to $14.99 or the $12.99 and I was like, ‘oh’, but y’know, hey, and I still pay that bill.”
She added: “I think it’s even higher now.”
While the moment happened a month ago, the clip has recently gone viral.
“I love this woman so much,” wrote one person. “Winona is so iconic”.
Another said: “She’s an icon.”
A third added: “i really thought netflix would just give it to them for free.”
Netflix prices are a highly sensitive topic that has only been intensified by the arrival of Disney Plus. They announced in March that they would be increasing the price by £1 and premium subscriptions by £2.
If that hadn’t sealed its fate, Netflix then announced they would introduce advertisements to shows for a lower-priced package.
Basically, watch Disney Plus instead.
