Now that everyone has had time to see the finale of STRANGER THINGS, John Horton (@jahorton13) & Kyle Pierson (@Area51ESD) give our two cents as to whether or not the series ended on an UP note ... or UPSIDE DOWN. (Yes, there are some spoilers, so see the finale first!) We also explore which is more upside down, the 1980s or the 2020s?

Follow IN THE SPOTLIGHT at fb.com/inthespotlight and listen to the ATTACK OF THE SPOTLIGHT podcast on iHeart Radio, Spotify, Player FM, Podchaser, Apple, Podbean, and Deezer (with more services coming soon).

John Horton (@jahorton13) & Kyle Pierson (@Area51ESD) review CLUE and THE JEWEL OF THE NILE for the films' 40th anniversaries, albeit a bit late. This episode of IN THE SPOTLIGHT (fb.com/inthespotlight) was meant to air before New Year's, but the holidays got in the way. Either way, as always, we spend about 20 minutes reviewing the films and twice that time talking about random sh-t. We hope you'll join us!

Also the IN THE SPOTLIGHT Podcast mentioned in the show is tentatively being called ATTACK OF THE SPOTLIGHT and is available exclusively on YouTube Podcasts at the moment: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLnNsMEYmuPmhUVSnNbNqOhB71In0LkXog&si=1wvosbcmbkD5Udh5

Who the hell are John Horton (@jahorton13) & Kyle Pierson (@Area51ESD)? You've seen us interview celebrities and rate movies, but who are we and why should you care? To answer that question, we borrowed (stole) an idea from Sean Evans. If you haven't seen HOT ONES from @FirstWeFeast, it's the ultimate online interview show. "Hot questions with even hotter wings." We took the idea, applied it to the Ass Kickin' Xtreme Hot Sauce Mini Bottle Gift Set (https://www.basspro.com/shop/en/ass-kickin-xtreme-hot-sauce-mini-bottle-gift-set) from Bass Pro Shops (@bassproshops) and asked each other four questions to help our viewers have a better idea of what makes us tick. Was it worth it? Find out in this episode of IN THE SPOTLIGHT (fb.com/inthespotlight).
