The Upside Down has officially closed its gates (for now), and Zero Dark Nerdy is EMOTIONAL. On this episode, Brian, Jordan, and Grayson break down the Stranger Things Season 5 finale — from our absolute favorite moments, jaw-on-the-floor reactions, and lingering questions, to the loopholes and plot threads that had us pausing and rewinding. We talk character arcs, final battles, and whether the ending stuck the landing for a show that defined an era of TV.

Of course, we also dive into our favorite characters, who surprised us the most, and who we’ll miss the hardest. Plus, we share our excitement and cautious skepticism toward future spin-off projects — is there more story worth telling, or should Hawkins stay buried? We wanna know what YOU thought of the finale, your hot takes, and where you stand on the future of the franchise. Leave us a comment!
