SPOILERS FOR STRANGER THINGS SEASON 1.
In this episode:
We discuss the first season of Netflix's Stranger Things, including the casting, the writing, the influences, and holy crap this show is so much fun to talk about.We open with our first impressions of Stranger Things and overall thoughts on the series.
We spend a good bit talking about and speculating about Season 2 just in time for io9 to publish an article telling people to stop talking about Season 2 lest they ruin it, so that’s killer timing.
We start talking about DnD, which could have really dominated the podcast but thankfully we winged away from it really quick.
Another aside about Haven, but only to illustrate how well Stranger Things handles the characters’ handles on its various supernatural elements.We talk about the different stories being told in Stranger Things and the successes and pitfalls of that particular approach.The show never loses sight of its humanity, which is definitely one of its strengths.
Next month: WITCHES, including (finally) our thoughts on The Witch (2016).THERE'S ALWAYS AN ADDENDUM:
From Fio: I misspoke when I said that the party in The Mummy is composed of a Ranger, Wizard, Paladin, and Bard, it’s clearly a Ranger, Wizard, Fighter, and Bard, Brendan Frasier doesn’t multiclass until the sequel.Music:
