Happy New Year to all you delightful listeners (not you, Bob), and welcome to the first Stace & Barry In The Morning of 2026.

Cor blimey, do we have a jam-packed episode to kick your year off with a geeky bang! Barry finds that Stranger Things can happen as Stacey espouses her enjoyment of Nirvanna The Band The Show, and the dynamic duo are absolutely returning in Avengers: Doomsday. All this, plus music from Nine Inch Nails and James Newton Howard, a bit of Benoit Blanc, and a (cautious) recommendation for Sorry, Baby.

Grab a nice hot drink to warm your donnies, and enjoy!

Can it be, pa rum pum pum pum? Stace and B, pa rum pum pum pum, rum pum pum pum! Merry December, festive friends, and welcome to another spectacular breakfast serving of Stace & Barry In The Morning!

This month, Barry is on the hunt for the Last Samurai Standing, Stacey joins the Pluribus fan hivemind, and both share their thoughts on Stranger Things. Musical Musings sees Stace completely undecided on which Frankenstein piece to treat you to, whilst Barry is firmly aboard The Last Starfighter. All this, plus a Turtle Report!

Happy holidays and a tippety-top New Year to you all!
