The Sad Sacks are back with the next chapter of our Stranger Things Rewatch Series on the PRPL Podcast—this time diving deep into Season 1, Episodes 5 through 8. The stakes in Hawkins couldn’t be higher as the search for Will Byers leads our heroes into the Upside Down itself. Secrets unravel, loyalties are tested, and the terrifying truth behind Hawkins Lab begins to surface. From Eleven’s haunting flashbacks and nosebleeds to Hopper’s descent into conspiracy, every revelation tightens the grip of this supernatural mystery. Join us as we unpack the explosive final stretch—Joyce’s desperate fight to bring Will home, the boys’ battle against the Demogorgon, and the quiet heartbreak that lingers even after the lights stop flickering. Because once you’ve seen the Upside Down, Hawkins will never look the same again.
