We discuss Finn Wolfhard's January 2026 SNL hosting debut on January 17, 2026. Known for Stranger Things, It, and Ghostbusters. Finn's monologue featured former castmates, sparking nostalgia and strong audience energy, but the episode was uneven with many underdeveloped sketches. We talk about the clever genre blending and figurative language, as well as slash fiction and fan creativity in "Heated Wizardry" and expand into how reboots, remakes, and fan-inspired storytelling function in corporate media with "Stranger Things Promo." Readings include a primer on figurative language from the poetry foundation and Textual Poachers by Henry Jenkins, as well as examples of great remakes, reboots, and requels - oh my!
