One of the bright spots in the cultural nightmare that was 2016 was Netflix's *Stranger Things*. We use that as a jumping-off point for a wide-ranging talk about nostalgia in movies, music, games, TV, and books- where it's done right, where it's done wrong, and where it's just some goober pointing at something from the first Bush administration and shouting through their Hot Pockets: "HEY REMEMBER THIS"?!
