Well, for better for for worse, Stranger Things has ended. Join us as we delve into the faults of its ending and how they tie in to bigger societal issues, such as:

• Capitalism’s war on authentic art, and how this has led to the general acceptance of slop media

• Casual misogyny, and how viewing women and girls as objects rather than complex individuals leads to their dehumanization by boys and men

• Liberal homophobia, and how performative activism does not equal good representation

• How our society allows people with certain levels of privilege to easily avoid responsibility for their actions
