Tara Erickson & Andrew Gordon return to Hawkins for a chilling deep dive into Stranger Things Season 2, Episodes 5 ("Dig Dug") and 6 ("The Spy")—two of the most pivotal chapters in Netflix's iconic sci-fi horror series from The Duffer Brothers (Wayward Pines, Hidden). As Will Byers’ (Noah Schnapp, Bridge of Spies, Hubie Halloween) connection to the Upside Down deepens, Eleven (Millie Bobby Brown, Enola Holmes, Godzilla: King of the Monsters) searches for answers about her past and uncovers secrets about her mother.

In Episode 5, Hopper (David Harbour, Black Widow, Hellboy) finds himself trapped underground in the tunnels beneath Hawkins while Joyce (Winona Ryder, Heathers, Beetlejuice), Bob (Sean Astin, The Goonies, The Lord of the Rings), and Mike (Finn Wolfhard, It, Ghostbusters: Afterlife) work with Will’s visions to track him down. Meanwhile, Eleven makes a shocking discovery about her mother, Terry Ives, and begins piecing together her origins. In Episode 6, Dr. Owens (Paul Reiser, Aliens, Mad About You) observes Will’s condition worsen—revealing that “The Spy” may be more literal than anyone feared.

Catch Tara & Andrew's reactions as the tension tightens, secrets unravel, and the battle between science and the supernatural hits a fever pitch. Don’t forget to like, subscribe, and turn on notifications for more Stranger Things reviews!
