Ep. 22 Stranger Things Monsters pt. 1: Demogorgon


Listen Later

Fresh off of finishing Stranger Things 4, Matt and Joe take a dive into each of the iconic monsters that graced the small screen. Matt is a certified Stranger Things super fan and Joe spends WAY too much time reading old D&D lore. Together, they'll demystify the history of this floral creature from the upside down through his roots as a baboon-headed demon prince, a formless symbol of popular resistance, and finally his origin in Platonic philosophy. Who better to unpack the History of Demogorgon!
