July 07, 2022 10:00 - 49 minutesLet’s take a look at Season 4 before Season 5 comes out…in a few years. In the meantime, can we appreciate how the Stranger Things fanbase is still around for this great show?

409 - Chapter Nine: The Piggyback
July 01, 2022 22:24 - 54 minutesThat was a metalhead finale we can cheer for. It came down to the wire and Eleven’s arms were extending while she screamed, of course. BUT the Duffer Brothers delivered a gut punch that made us remember why we love this show. While Jim is condemning pineapple pizza to The Upside Down, A.Ron is happy to report that this episode delivers in stakes, pacing, and surprises. Got feedback? Send us a message at [email protected].

Nancy is smitten with Steve once again. Let’s be honest, who isn’t at this point? And we now have definitive proof that the clocks mean something, A.Ron would like his trophy now.

Perfect Stranger Things: Dear Billy
June 18, 2022 10:00 - 1 hourThis episode is the highpoint of the season so far and perhaps one of the best of the entire series. Max continues to impress.

Season 4a Wrapup
June 08, 2022 22:34 - 1 hourThis season of Stranger Things brought on the 80s nostalgia and lots of great moments. We have opinions, you have feedback, let’s talk about it! Listen in on Vecna theories, relationship analyses, and your hot takes on your favorite (or least favorite) Stranger Things Season 4 moments. We’re now looking forward to a big, shiny bow to tie up this entire journey in the rest of this season and the next. Which theories of yours were correct? Got a theory?

407 - Chapter Seven: The Massacre at Hawkins Lab
June 01, 2022 21:52 - 51 minutesThis episode has big portal energy. We got the twist we were hoping for, but it leaves the question: which came first, the Vecna or the egg? We’re getting nervous about those wounds on one of our beloved characters. And we’re gearing up for Hopper’s next superhero-esque move.

406 - Chapter Six: The Dive
June 01, 2022 16:57 - 45 minutesWith the finale right around the corner, we’re hoping for some surprises. The characters are still in transit, but we feel like they’re building to something big with Eleven’s backstory. While waiting for her powers to return, we’re also anticipating the death of one of our favorite characters, and enjoying Murray and Joyce’s adventures. The Satanic Panic is causing the sweeping up of the members of the Hellfire Club, so now is not the time to let people know that I play a Tiefling. Submit yo...
405 - Chapter Five: The Nina Project
May 31, 2022 19:48 - 39 minutesHa! You thought Nina was a person? We totally didn’t. Nope, haha, we always knew. Speaking of never being confused, we’ve got some theories and predictions that we’re holding tight to. We’re witnessing the point of no return and an escape that could only happen in the 80s, nothing to do with Kurt Russell in New York though. And how many modems can you recognize just by the sound? I guarantee it’s more than me, but less than Jim and A.Ron. Submit your thoughts for our wrap-up episode at stran...
404 - Chapter Four: Dear Billy
May 31, 2022 17:16 - 43 minutesThe Vecna isn’t the only horrifying thing that you see this season. Shedding the skin of the fun, breezy Stranger Things that we started with a few years ago, this season is going down darker roads. We have to sit with these characters through more adult situations as they try to navigate these with kid solutions. And it is starting to seem that Hopper is likely evolving into a Steven McQueen-esque superhero. Maybe. Submit your thoughts for our wrap-up episode at [email protected]....
403 - Chapter Three: The Monster and the Superhero
May 27, 2022 20:53 - 37 minutesThose icy blue eyes of the Vecna have us transfixed when the episode isn’t being a little clunky. The relationships in this show deliver in the teenage angst department. Jim can’t relate to the angst because he’s always been popular. But the real question to the duality of existence, can someone be both a monster and superhero? Is it a choice each of us have to make? Can one perspective exist with the other? Are we reading too deeply into this? Will I mysteriously disappear if I keep asking q...
402 - Chapter Two: Vecna's Curse
May 27, 2022 19:07 - 40 minutesSomeone take care of these kids! Eleven/Jane is being bullied and Will, easily the most traumatized child in Hawkins, is hurting and wants his friends back. We hope life is kind to this cinnamon roll of a person, but this is Hawkins. A.Ron is putting on Dustin’s thinking cap and has some theories to present. How is everyone with guilt or dark secrets going to be affected by Vecna? We’re dying to find out. Hey there! Check out https://support.baldmove.com/ to find out how you can gain access ...

May 27, 2022 16:26 - 43 minutesStranger Things is back with a moodier season and we’re here for it. Hawkins, Indiana is haunted and harassed once more by…STRANGE things (I couldn’t help myself). The kids are growing up and growing apart while finding their place in the world. And who is this monster for this season? Mind Flayer 2.0, some sort of Soul Reaper, someone who spent way too much time in the sun? We’re ready to find out. Hey there!

Season 3 Wrapup
July 17, 2019 00:03 - 1 hourWe're back to put Netflix's Stranger Things 3 to bed until next time. Speaking of next time, what's the deal with Hopper? How will we even get the gang back together next time, with them scattering tither and yon? Is it really possible we'll get more Stranger Things by Christmastime?

308 - Chapter Eight: The Battle of Starcourt
July 09, 2019 21:05 - 50 minutesWe finish Netflix's Stranger Things 3 with the finale episode, "The Battle of Starcourt". We found it gross, hilarious, thrilling, and touching, which means we thought it was a pretty great ending to a pretty great season of Stranger Things. I can see how people who are kind of sick of the nostalgia pandering, the product placement, and skeptical of some of the more outlandish breaks in the action to allow for drama, but we loved every minute of it. But what did you think? We'll be back next ...
307 - Chapter Seven: The Bite
July 09, 2019 18:31 - 29 minutesWe resume our mini-marathon of Netflix's Stranger Things 3 with the penultimate episode, "The Bite". In which many people are forced to confront their true feelings for other characters, with mixed results. The Mind Flayer is running roughshod over the backwoods of Hawkins, while the thus un-merged Billy stalks down El to eliminate her as threat. The big question in our minds is whether the Duffer Brothers took the long off season to come up with a new way to resolve inter-dimensional threats...
306 - Chapter Six: E Pluribus Unum
July 08, 2019 20:15 - 25 minutesThe Mind Flayer's grotesque plan comes into focus in episode six of Stranger Things 3, "E Pluribus Unum", the meaning of the title seeming obvious in retrospect. Aside from the citizenry of Hawkins literally pulling themselves together to stop El and the gang, we get some very sympathetic backstory for Billy, Dustin throws a tea party for Erica, Robin and Steve share a moment in a Soviet medical torture facility, and Mike confesses his love for El.

305 - Chapter Five: The Flayed
July 08, 2019 18:38 - 28 minutesWe continue our mini-marathon of Stranger Things 3 with "The Flayed", as things continue to get grosser for the Hawkins residents who find themselves "flayed" by the Mind Flayer. What's the big MF doing with all these chemicals? Is there any hope for the Flayed? Will Hop and Joyce succumb to their smoldering sexual tension? Stay tuned!

304 - Chapter Four: The Sauna Test
July 08, 2019 16:48 - 27 minutesWe resume our mini-marathon of Stranger Things 3 as we consider "The Sauna Test". All the kids except Dustin are on board with the return of the Flayer, Nancy gets a pep talk from her mom about finishing her investigation, Dustin, Steve, and Robin recruit Erica for Operation Child Endangerment, as Hopper and Joyce put the squeeze on slimy Mayor Kline about his shady dealing ins Hawkins!

302 - Chapter Two: The Mall Rats
July 04, 2019 19:35 - 29 minutesOur mini-binge of Netflix's Stranger Things 3 continues with "The Mall Rats". Which fits, since most of the non-upside down action takes place at Starcourt, and the rest involves rats that explode into facehuggers. Join us in a conversation about the horrors of teenager courtship, being abducted and consumed by unnatural monsters, and the Wander Indiana license plate.

301 - Chapter One: Suzie, Do You Copy?
July 04, 2019 17:46 - 35 minutesWelcome back to Hawkins! Stranger Things 3 is off to a fast start, as we catch up with all of the characters, see how the town is changing, establish the various emotional stakes, and uncover a secret Russian program to open their own tunnels into the Upside Down! How is this connected with the exploding rats and the Bryer's fridge? Today (July 4th) we're going to watch and record podcasts for the first three episodes of the season. Monday, we'll consider the next three, and wrap up the third...

209 – Chapter Nine: The Gate
October 29, 2017 22:39 - 42 minutesWe conclude our epic Stranger Things marathon — which really has been a month long obsession — with the spectacular, extremely fulfilling, finale of season two, “The Gate”. Maybe you can say the climax is a rehash of last year. But everything else works in just the way you’d hope and hits all the right emotional and character notes and feels so satisfying that it feels mean spirited to harp on a quibble here or there. We feel that this was the perfect follow up the the original Stranger Th Le...
