It’s time to…celebrate the end of an era! Last week, we dug into our thoughts on the final season of Stranger Things (the good, the bad, and the where were the demogorgons??). But today’s episode is all about reveling in Stranger Things in all its nostalgic, cozy horror-filled glory. From our first memories of watching the show in 2016 (both of us lived in totally different states! And were going to actual parties in actual basements!) to our overall rankings of the five seasons, to our favorite things that made Stranger Things the pinnacle of the cozy horror genre. See you in the Upside Down, one last time.

We’re bacckkkkk!! We hope you all had a fantastic holiday season in the Upside Down! In our welcome back episode, we are going to be diving into Stranger Thing Season 5. And you know what is coming next…a big ol’ spoiler alert! We will not be holding back on all of our thoughts about how one of our favorite series of all time came to a close. Do we like extra spiky Season 5 Vecna? Are we drowning in CGI? Why is Dr. Kay even here? Did we cry any happy tears at the end? And one of us was pretty happy with Season 5 and one of us…not so thrilled. Tune in to find out who.

Housekeeping note: while you can still listen to our podcast on Spotify, we have ditched it as our hosting platform. We are now leaning back into our Substack and hosting there, which means: 1. Our newsletter will be back at the end of the month! And 2. The video version of our podcast will only be available on Substack and YouTube. We also will be announcing a very special surprise plan for 2026 on Instagram in a few weeks. Basically… follow us through all the links listed below.

We love you, homebodies!

Is there a single more cozy character than Agent Dale Cooper? In today’s episode, we are once again chatting our way through the trippy, cozy, and maybe even a little campy world of Twin Peaks. And the focus of today’s episode is Agent Cooper in all his glory, and also in the few moments that begrudgingly make us realize that he is a mere mortal just like the rest of us. Grab some donuts and a damn fine cup of coffee and cozy up with us for this Coop-filled chat.
