In this episode of Screens in Focus, Diana and Sam break down the Stranger Things Season 5 trailer with fresh first impressions, big emotions, and a few nerves about who we might lose in the final season. They chat about what they love most about the series, the friendships, the heart, the '80s vibe, and those fun callbacks like the torn Hellfire shirt and Back to the Future–style shots.

They dig into standout character moments, the relationships that popped, and what Season 5 might really be setting up. Plus, a fun rapid-fire round, some theories about Max and Dustin, and their predictions for Volume 1.

They wrap up Trailer Talk with an invite to join them for the new season rollout: Vol. 1 drops Nov 26, Vol. 2 on Dec 25, and the finale on Dec 31.

And yep, we've got TV and movie recommendations waiting for you at the end, so don't miss those!
