Kathleen, Miles and Kirk re-watch Stranger Things 5 Chapter 8 ‘The Rightside Up’

Join us in discussion through the steps of Operation Beanstalk from the saving of the kids in Henry’s mind-world to stop the Abyss to the Steve’s almost-death on the upside down WSQK radio tower. We talk about Mike and Will, Nancy’s love triangle concluded without her, Kali’s importance to the episode and series, the nature of the Abyss and the rich and tragic conversations between Hopper and Eleven.

We'll be back for Part 2 of the finale on 2/6. My gosh, feels like we have the whole episode still to go. Taking the time to focus on the beginning though is the great part about these deep dives. So fun to talk about the little things!
