STRANGER THINGS 4x4 REVIEW!!!

51 minutes

With Stranger Things 5 on the way this winter, it's time for Tara & Andrew to continue their marathon with their Stranger Things Season 4x4 Reaction, Recap & Breakdown!

Netflix’s Stranger Things, created by the Duffer Brothers, continues to be one of the most beloved sci-fi horror series of the decade, blending supernatural suspense with heartfelt coming-of-age drama. Set in the 1980s in Hawkins, Indiana, the series follows a group of kids, teens, and adults as they battle the sinister forces of the Upside Down.

In Season 4, Episode 4, “Dear Billy,” Max Mayfield (Sadie Sink, Fear Street, The Whale) takes center stage as she struggles with haunting visions from Vecna. Her emotional letters to her loved ones and the unforgettable climactic sequence—set to Kate Bush’s “Running Up That Hill (A Deal with God)”—have already become some of the most iconic moments in television history. Meanwhile, Eleven (Millie Bobby Brown, Enola Holmes, Godzilla vs. Kong) confronts the painful memories of her past under the supervision of Dr. Owens (Paul Reiser, Aliens, Mad About You) and Dr. Brenner (Matthew Modine, Full Metal Jacket, Weeds), while Joyce Byers (Winona Ryder, Heathers, Beetlejuice) and Murray (Brett Gelman, The Other Guys) track down Hopper’s (David Harbour, Hellboy, Black Widow) imprisonment in Russia.

This episode is packed with emotional stakes, supernatural terror, and one of the most famous needle-drops in recent TV history.

Join Tara Erickson and Andrew Gordon as they break down all the thrills, scares, and tear-jerking moments in this landmark episode of Stranger Things!
