Code Red, gentle souls! On Friday, we’re flashing back to the summer of 1985. Remember the mall? Remember summer break shenanigans with friends? Remember…a giant goo monster terrorizing you while the Russians invade your small town? Just us?

The Stranger Things family continues to grow this season, with the addition of Maya Hawke’s Robin and the promotion of Priah Ferguson’s Erica to regular cast. We are both here for every moment with our beloved Scoops Troop. We’re less fond of the simplification of Hopper’s character into a brawling action cop. We talk influences, that mall culture vibe, and the sweetest Russian scientist to ever grace the screen: our dearly departed Alexei.

Come along as we revisit our friends in Hawkins all month long! That means bonus episodes, because we wanted to give each season its own episode. And we'll also be dropping a mini-episode with our first impressions of Stranger Things 5, Volume 1!
