The Stranger Things creators have flipped the table upside down: the Duffer Brothers are leaving Netflix for a big new deal at Paramount. We talk about their plans for original movies, their philosophy on “event TV,” and what to expect from Stranger Things 5.

Jakob checks in with first impressions of Netflix’s House of Guinness, a period drama from the creator of Peaky Blinders with big beer money but some… odd choices in music and history. Jim takes on Survivor US Season 49, breaking down how it stacks up against the ever-strong Australian edition.

Then it’s time for The Lowdown, the latest from Sterlin Harjo (Reservation Dogs) with Ethan Hawke leading a Tulsa-set noir full of conspiracy walls, bad dads, and bursts of Tarantino energy. We’ve watched the first two episodes and give you the goods on whether it’s worth your time!

All served with your usual side orders of tangents and despair.
