    Stranger Things Post Show: Best Needle Drops
    Whitney, Collin, and Doug revisit the music that made Stranger Things great, with their list of the series’ best needle drops. From The Clash to Kate Bush to David Bowie, there was plenty of nostalgic tuneage to love (and hate), so we have plenty to discuss as we run through our favorites (and not-so-favorites) over the 42 episodes.

    Stranger Things Post Show: Season 5 Wrap Up
    Whitney, Doug, and Collin tie a ribbon on Season 5 of Stranger Things by picking their favorite episodes and their Superlatives for the season... and having a lengthy discussion about what went wrong (and plenty of things that went right). From the superfluous opening flashback to the glorious trap at the Turnbows, we tackle it all. Grab your 45 of ‘Purple Rain’ and join us! Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

    Stranger Things Post Show: Conformity Gate!
    Collin, Whitney, and Doug keep the Stranger Things fires burning with a discussion of the conspiracy theory that has failed to pan out (so far). No, Melvald’s doesn’t serve milkshakes anymore, and yes, the Squawk dial changed color… but does that mean there’s a secret ninth episode hidden in a vault at Netflix headquarters? Grab your orange graduation gown and join us as we get to the bottom of Conformity Gate! Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

    S5E4: Sorcerer

    Whitney, Collin, and Doug wrap up Volume I of Stranger Things 5 with 'Chapter Four: Sorcerer'.

Plus– Music, Tire Peel-Outs, Where in the World Is…?, and Superlatives! Put on your crisp white Tom Waits t-shirt and join us!
