episodes when we’re not doing in a   row so I got juiced up back again cuz this is my 
favorite show that we are reacting to currently i am I love season 1 it was incredible and 
trying not to look at the image right now Terra but uh I cannot wait to see because there were 
there were definitely some things that happened   that I didn’t even remember in the few weeks since 
we last reacted to the finale so I’m actually glad I rewatched that finale so it reminded me of 
what uh what I had forgotten already but it got me pumped up again for season 2 now so I’m 
excited to be here how are you feeling Terra   i feel I feel good yeah as you could see I did 
some self-tanner i look tanner so I feel better it’s all fake there’s your little golden nugget

glimmer in his eye wow the visuals this is Yeah insane that’s spooky and those colors look 
very similar to the to the opening theme or the opening title sequence i mean are you okay yeah i 
needed some air come on oh it’s like I think like what you’re saying cuz the monster was like up in 
him and if he’s still barfing him out that he’s   still connected yeah yeah yes yes oh I wish old 
school i still have never seen the first one in Obviously I wasn’t alive when that one came out in 
theaters and I wasn’t old enough to see the second   but I saw the second one in theaters with Greg 
a few years back when they re-released it still have never seen the first one in theaters i would 
love to we need to talk get away from me okay no I really going to want to hear this trust me i only 
want five minutes don’t we all that’s Tommy boy stepmom multiple reports okay of a Russian child 
in Hawkins a child what are you talking about a child a girl who may have psionic abilities oh 
who we saw at the beginning i talked to a Big B ex employee who said some little girl shattered 
the door with her mind i heard that story did you hear the one about the fat man with the beard 
who climbs down chimney i’ve heard that once some   Russian girl with a shaved head was hiding in his 
basement ted now denies this oh wow he threw away the whole apple oh my god i love green apples 
barbara she sees this girl tries to help her perhaps goes from an apple to a cigarette you’re 
telling me that Barbara Holland was kidnapped by Russian spies kidnapped killed killed is that 
the Barbara from the first season or a different Barbara i think they’re saying the same mural 
called wants you to check out his pumpkins says they’ve been contaminated by his vengeful neighbor 
Eugene you’re welcome i’m guessing remember I I’ll stop bleeding those people dry and go home i 
am not bleeding anyone try go home he struck a deal remember with that organization to get him 
and Joyce out of there so I think whenever anyone   brings anything of any sorts he has to deny he’s 
got a denial plausibility when it comes to that and but still check it out but just deny deny 
deny it’s not good that’s going to be just it needs some organizing nance and Steve huh so in 
the first paragraph you use the um the basketball game as a metaphor for your life which is great 
but then around here you start talking about your granddad’s experiences in the war how are they 
two related because they’re not because you know we both won oh that makes sense do you think I 
should start from scratch no i I mean you’re just not good Steve just going to end up working for my 
dad anyway that’s not true i don’t know Nancy is   that such a bad thing as insurance and benefits

after dark and dowsted your field with poison well not Eugene himself digging one of 
his steel hands this happening the day before Halloween when sales are peaking

was going to say at least 3 or 4 days minimum dang this is spooky scarecrow i was going to 
say I’m officially freaked out okay it’s just a crow scarecrow ain’t doing its job i tell you 
that much crow’s sitting right on you i wish it was Halloween time can I get one more did Jon 
It looked like Jonathan avoided getting that   invitation yeah he he moved a They’re coming 
to this come and get sheep he definitely looks a lot more confident in himself too i I can’t 
let you sit all alone halloween it’s just not acceptable well you can relax i’m not going to be 
alone can somebody add a link in the comments so I can get a Trapper Keeper from the ’90s please 
i’m going trick-or-treating with Will no no way you’re going to be home by 8 listening to 
the Talking Heads and reading Vonagget or something he’s very much like me to He’s very 
structured just come i mean poor guys he might even like someone that’s got to be awkward 
for him oh my god take those stupid things off is it like risky business it’s been like an 
hour tell me about it still haven’t seen that movie they do have chemistry like I can feel the 
vibe through the screen so you know what he came through big time at the end of the the season 
he really did i wasn’t sure how I felt about   it but I’d still maybe like to I mean not maybe 
I would at some point depending on what happens in the relationships you like to see Jonathan and 
Nancy but yeah girls don’t play video games and   even if they did you can’t get 750,000 points 
on DigDug i mean they’re like girls don’t like video games how many Maxes do you know i don’t 
know zero that’s how many yeah and she shows up at school the day after someone with her same 
name breaks our top score i mean so she’s got   to be Man Max and plus she skateboards so she’s 
pretty awesome exactly you haven’t even spoken a word to her hey I don’t have to i mean look 
at her [ __ ] i’ve lost the target oh there i love that he has a brontosaurus thing on 
oh my god these guys desperate got to obtain information stop spying on me that’s great 
love it he’s way way ahead of you william Buyers your mother’s here [Music] god this 
I feel so bad for Will like on top of the other stuff he’s dealing with in terms of that 
the monster post-traumatic stuff he’s got to   deal with people looking at him you guys think 
he’s okay he’s always weird when he has to go in i don’t know he’s quiet today he’s always 
quiet go in yeah where’s he going why was he so sad to see that mom was here maybe it’s 
like a psych evaluation probably it’s got to be therapy or something hey I’m going to 
be there the whole time so it’s going to   be okay okay fine how old is Winona Ryder she 
looks so good she does at this point she’s got to be I would say 40s50s yeah something like 
that would be my guess she looks not that old oh god it’s that place oh we’re at that place 
yeah we are but wasn’t it I remember it being like pristinely white i got to imagine Paul Riser 
is the one in charge now that Matthew Matthew Modí was the one who was eaten in the last episode or 
mauled alive rather sir Will there he is how are you see you shaved off a pound since we saw you 
last must be making room for all that Halloween   candy what’s your favorite candy desert Island 
candy if you had to pick one sour licorice bites but they don’t make them anymore reese’s Pieces 
snack Club good call those are good put them in   the freezer freezer 10 minutes totally peanut 
butter and chocolate come on hard to beat that i agree all right so tell me what’s going on with 
you tell me about this episode you had i swear   if Bob works there going to be so mad i was back 
there again in the upside down all right so what happened next so I went outside and it was worse 
how was it worse there was this storm kind of got scared me how did you feel when you saw the storm 
i felt frozen heart racing i wasn’t expecting him to be honest about this like how you feel when 
you’re scared and and you can’t breathe or talk or do anything i felt felt this evil like like 
it was looking at me oh boy there’s the heart rate what do you think the evil wanted to kill 
to kill you not me everyone else wow interesting that was frightening the way he described that 
it’s called the anniversary effect and we’ve seen   this with soldiers oh like PTSD the anniversary 
of an event brings back traumatic memories sort of opens up the neurological floodgates so to 
speak so what does this mean for the kid all   right we’re almost at a year cuz it was almost 
Christmas at the end i understand what you went through last year i get it but those people are 
gone so if we’re going to get through this I   need you to realize I’m on your side definitely 
trust everyone in that building are you kidding me yeah I know but you know university gives 
out a degree this guy’s got it and look that post-traumatic stuff he’s talking about that 
stuff is real right cuz Whopper yeah with his daughter he’s definitely got major PTSD how’s uh 
Bob the Brain don’t call him that bob the Brain he’s good we’re good good i’m happy for you oh 
really there’s a vibe there things get worse you call me first you call me i like how close they 
are now after all the experiences they had last   season it’s kind of like again I think I made the 
parallel last season it’s like Jonathan and Nancy and now him and Joyce oh it’s that room again 
looks like it yeah yes it looks like another hot one today huh never gets old sir oh so we’re 
just going in and out every day exploring i guess I think they’re more confident in going 
in because that monster has been destroyed and the the child of the monster well that he just 
said like another hot one eh like we’re just do   we’re just like it sounds like we’re just doing 
this and he’s like oh it’s just another day i’m like okay well he’s taking that flamethrower in 
there i’m like how many chances you need to get   up there and like burn it you know what I mean 
i Paul Riser must be thinking God another day on LV426 my mom is going to murder me so go home 
our radio if she comes oh yeah nice try you just want me out of here so you can make your move 
oh cuz you’re such a threat you can tell it’s   so cold there in real life that’s right she will 
not be able to resist these pearls [Laughter] they’re arguing they’re arguing i see that   i don’t even know why you need 
those they’re like right there it’s going to be so much fun watching the 
interactions with her and the group because they are so polar opposite from her with Max and 
the rest of the the crew I want you to be at the yard sale fine two boxes i’m fine with giving away 
a couple but the other ones just have way too much emotional value you already took away my Atari 
rude you didn’t curse out Mr kowalsski last week either right or plagiarize that essay or graffiti 
the bathroom stall everyone graffiti the bathroom   stall so if your friend jumps off a cliff you’re 
going to jump too nice call back this isn’t strike one this isn’t even strike three it’s strike 
20 you’re on the bench son and if it been my coach be lucky to still be on the team two boxes 
he’s like “What are you even talking about Dad?” I love how big Steve’s hair is like oh my god 
oh Barbara a cute little picture forgot about the time and then Oh my god it’s fine it’s great 
astro Krispy’s the best way we hired a man named Murray Bowman have either of you heard of him 
no no I don’t think so he was an investigative   journalist anyway he’s freelance now and was that 
the guy who came into Hopper’s office i don’t know yeah it is oh yeah he agreed to take the case oh 
that’s that’s great take the case yeah what about what happened to Barbara because I don’t think 
they know it was a monster we’re going to find our Barb if anyone can find her it’s this man 
he’s infiltrating it is worth every last penny is that why you’re selling the house yeah exactly 
don’t worry about us sweetie we’re fine oh to like for the first time in a long time we’re hopeful 
oh god they’re like selling it to make money to pay that freaking guy probably yeah and when 
they have no idea that he’s not alive anymore [Music] this is great writing cuz we get to 
see and I’ll talk about more in the review just seeing the everlasting effects of the 
last season how it’s dwelling on everyone absolutely day 352 7:40 p.m i’m still here 
if you’re out there say something or give me a sign i won’t even I won’t even say

say no to those pearl like it was last season muse muse oh god that’s not the cat right oi 
why are we going to the trash can come on you got to get used to it this is the future well put 
the future down and get me a clean bowl that is   definitely the future well it was at least for 
a certain point of time didn’t know what you like so I got a variety take your pick whatever 
you want lockbuster all right twilight Zone oh I missed the other ones dang it zombie Boy who’s 
Zombie Boy me did someone call you that oh buddy you are not a pariah mom Dustin Lucas everyone 
they all treat me like I’m going to break like I’m a baby like I can’t handle things on my own 
it doesn’t help it just makes me feel like more   of a freak yeah I would hate that you’re not 
a freak buddy i am i am you know what you’re right he knows what that feels like do you want 
to be normal do you Do you want to be just like   everyone else being a freak is the best all 
right i’m a freak is that why you don’t have any friends i I have I have friends well then 
why are you always hanging out with me oh god take take him to the party i would rather 
be best friends with Zombie Boy than with   a boring nobody you know what I mean who would 
you rather be friends with Bowie or Kenny Rogers oh exactly nobody normal ever accomplished 
anything meaningful in this world some people like Kenny Rogers kenny Rogers i love 
Kenny Rogers oh god this nerd alert mr mar I still got to see that movie with Michael 
Keaton my dad is obsessed with that movie hey it’s okay let it go let it go i believe that 
movie Mr mom came out the year before this 1983 that word is freaking All the lights we know what   that meant from last season all the 
lights right it means something from that other world but usually blood is 
what drew out the other monster right having one of his visions i like how 
they incorporated the Oh oh god please no i mean how does he stop it is the thing i’m like 
did they give him the tools to like I don’t even know if he would be able to though i I mean he’s 
going to need the group’s help and everyone else’s   they’re going to have to come together but I think 
L’s going to have to help as well beautiful yeah no the visuals are amazing they are putting 
money to good use right now on the visuals this is like a a very scary foreshadowing whoa 
look at that almost almost reminded me a little of Gdora but looked even crazier okay secret 
knock [Music] those look like aos oh do they i couldn’t on the plate but we all we love aos in 
the 80s so it’s fine i don’t know but somebody opened the door if he had a knock right he did 
a thing what are we talking about ago you called it Terra that’s a freaking ago you called it what 
no signal it’s 815 you’re late that is her voice right it’s It’s definitely L and it’s uh it’s 
8:15 it’s not 815 oh oh my god look at her hair now what do we talk about dinner no more aos 
dessert always a rule it’s like he has a daughter again totally oh my god that’s why he’s keeping 
her a secret cuz that Russian guy that guy’s like the Russian girl he’s trying to get to her 
this is really cute though oh my god i love that wow oh my god next immediately next clicked it 
all right Reject Nation summers here in between are really taking all these characters 
to darker places yep mike wouldn’t it be bad to team up with those people who 
can do the psychic stuff like against   that monster and just saying you’re going 
to need every experimental person you can come up with to fight that thing feel like 
L’s not enough against that no definitely   not i mean she she practically almost 
died when she tried to kill the that one oh that sounds like the the people in the in 
the hazmats cuz they go “Are you Cuz she can go there with her mind right?” But doesn’t she need 
to be like in a septic tank maybe not anymore see bravo team oh maybe this is immediately after 
the events of right what happened because look at her dress yeah yeah yeah cuz her hair is 
not totally long anymore okay obviously yeah whoa oh so this is how she got back 
cool and gross what does she do just like climb through you got to Oh oh 
she going to open it up maybe oh cool nice job let’s go Eleven yeah we saw her 
power levels like were surging at the end that is a great practical effect thank you for 
making that practical wow amen yeah awesome would have hated it if it was CGI yeah yeah the most 
important thing is for you to try to go on with your lives and to keep all of this a top secret 
understood did he just salute yeah he did such a dummy i don’t know where she is and even if I 
did I’d never tell you i would never tell you the stories she told you were not true 
it’s not their fault but Mike clearly   looks older than he did a year ago 
in this flashback but it’s no that’s nobody’s fault and your entire family 
at risk do you understand Michael oh wow so he saw her like after it happened that must 
be why you put in 352 days into that that thing because that’s a lot of days that’s so many days 
just to be hoping he could have also thought maybe it’s a figment of his imagination too yeah you’re 
right he could have definitely been thinking he   thought he was seeing Vince sadie Sink it’s a 
cool name trick or treat freak yeah let’s go so now it makes sense why he did the knock it 
was to let El know that it’s me yeah yeah totally jesus that kind of got me a little bit halloween 
sure is but right now it’s breakfast okay come on let’s eat they wouldn’t see me that’s true 
who wouldn’t see you the bad men they wouldn’t know who she is you should let her at trick or 
treat i guess it’s the perfect way to blend in   totally she’s been practicing like she’s saying 
it like she’s been practicing trick or treat you go out there ghost or not it’s a risk we don’t 
take risks they’re stupid and we’re not stupid oh I love that line now you take that off 
sit down and eat your food’s getting cold how about I get off early tonight and I buy us a 
bunch of candy and we can sit around and get fat and we watch a scary movie together lfg how’s 
that for compromise compromise c O M promise compromise compromise it’s something that’s kind 
of in between it’s like halfway happy by 515 5:15 sure promise yes I promise hard for someone in 
his position like a sheriff halfway happy halfway happy to be on time places cuz he’s got a major 
responsibility with his job i mean I tell you if you can get through life being halfway happy

maybe it’s a squirrel i don’t know come on god what is that noise what how do you How dare 
you how dare you do that oh that is rough in the neighborhood that’s rough and tumble who you 
going to call terra and Andrew all right thank you to Prepper for helping edit down these videos 
we super appreciate you also um Nerd Chronic helps out a lot also if you’re watching this please 
leave a like leave a comment subscribe when you do ring the bell ring the bell um so that you’re 
notified of all the videos we are adoring um so as we said before if you are a patron you get to 
send us questions and we have a few here we do so let’s read off the first one okay Millie had to be 
strongly persuaded to shave her short hair for the role it was only after being shown how Chariss 
the looked in Mad Max that persuaded her to go through with it her dad cried after seeing her 
fully shaved awe do you think you could ever go through such a life-changing for uh transformation 
for work remembering also that at this time this was an unknown TV show fair enough uh yeah I 
mean if I really believed in the project and I think it would you know help my career but also 
too if I saw a lot of zeros in that in that was   going into my bank account I certainly would but I 
think that’s so sweet that the dad was crying for it the good news is for the dad like it it grows 
back so that’s the good news but I can understand that like you have a specific look that you that 
you’re used to seeing for your child but again I I do appreciate that well I love how too like that 
we saw that Mad Max was what Persuader and then they paid that off obviously with the the title 
name of the episode one season two but I do like again that Millie Bobby Brown believed enough in 
the project to go hey you know what i’m going to Lex Luthther this [ __ ] i’m going to shave off my 
head because I believe in the project even though   it is an unknown an unknown entity right now so 
but to answer the question yes I would do it for if it was something that I really believed in mhm 
yeah so I think the reason why it would have been a lot easier for Millie this was her very first 
like audition and very first booking and she happened to make it on to the show me specifically 
I would say I will all wear a bald cap like just I don’t know i don’t know i don’t know cuz I’m also 
thinking like oh I got to work on other projects right if I was her age it may be different um 
but um I definitely like I would cut it short i don’t know about the bald thing i would have to 
like really think about it i might be like you   got to give me a bald cap but I do think that 
um I think it’s crazy that her dad he started crying when I was fully shaved i’m sure that is 
a bit of a shock and I’m sure she went through   some stuff where she probably didn’t want her 
head shaved which I would completely understand um so really it’s just like oh thank goodness 
this turned out to be a major hit yeah no her her her gamble I guess if you want to call it that it 
paid off you know her her faith in in in shaving her head paid off and I will say that um you know 
I think that it it took incredible courage to do that and I appreciate that she did do that she and 
she’s amazing she’s one of the best parts i bet   also too when she found out for season two your 
hair’s still gonna be short but not nowhere near as short as it was in season one so I’m sure she 
was happy yeah hell yeah um all right our next one is from Jessica Howser basically can I read this 
can I read okay we’ll we’ll switch off jessica   Hower oh by the way ATC is that how you say the 
first one attack at Thank you so much for the question we appreciate and you being a Patreon 
jessica Hower and thank you for the question   we appreciate you as well being a Patreon based 
on what you’ve seen throughout season 1 who do you classify as your favorite and least favorite 
character characters besides 11 going forward into season 2 and why do you think the characters 
you like or dislike could evolve and change   throughout the series example it’s no secret you 
dislike Steve andrew what would you what would it take to change that or is it even possible you 
want me to start you want to start um well since we are reading this after already seeing season 2 
um initially as you saw my like wait what they’re saying I love you like at the top of of this um 
season I was in shock about it um but I would say that you know Steve’s obviously grown on me 
so I’ll do two other characters um I think that my favorite would be Dustin there’s just something 
about him he’s really really funny and and awesome um and the one that I guess that I would say 
that I like the least that is that’s really really tough cuz even going down to like Hopper 
is also a big contender for like liking the most but even going down from Hopper and the people 
that he works with they’re all like they’re funny they’re great um so I guess I would say the least 
favorite like right now but you said going through season one let me think hold on oh I know i know i 
love that it’s my dad oh my god good call it’s my That’s an amazing I mean he’s not on screen that 
often but when he is he’s so he’s so plain he’s like on autopilot like Adam Sandler and Click he’s 
He’s there and that’s it absolutely great call by you obviously like Steve is the obvious answer but 
I I like I mean in the first two episodes and even in the last episode he’s definitely grown on me 
for sure and you know there were certain events but I’m curious how everyone else felt about 
Steve like coming into season one I know I got   a little bit of push back in the episodes where 
I thought he did a little bit of you know revenge uh you know uh the P word and Right but because I 
for some reason I thought it was just a rumor yeah well yeah yeah but I thought Yeah exactly but 
I thought for some reason I thought he had the   camera was there i I don’t know why I thought that 
but anyways I I I am looking forward to seeing him i I’m sure as we are already seeing in these 
first couple episodes I’m sure he’s going to become probably one of my favorite characters 
i would agree with Dustin on that i really do   like Hopper as well i think like what we saw in 
the first season like just this broken shell of a man and you know seeing so many things that 
triggered his PTSD as to before like all these crazy events ensued and then seeing his backstory 
come out and seeing that he still does the job even though it’s it’s extremely hard for him 
with everything that has happened in his life   i think he’s just such an incredible character and 
I love the performance that David Harbor embodies uh how he embodies the character so I would say uh 
who’s your least favorite oh my le Well no I would   I would say I mean I I guess for right now it’s 
going into season two it was Steve but again I would say because he’s going to be the one that’s 
probably going to grow the most that I’m probably   going to like so let’s just keep it at that okay 
but I like your I like your answer sounds good um Lee Markx do you think live action remakes are 
getting out of hand personally it feels like new stories are becoming less frequent and studios are 
just trying to cash in by remaking past successful movies it is like they’re trying to make an 
easy buck thoughts i got an answer for that lee Marks by the way thank you for the question 
we appreciate you being a Patreon so Lee to answer   your question yes you can make an argument that 
it is getting a little out of hand the problem is when they release original stuff like Sinners 
or other things like that the problem is nobody is going to see those movies they’re not making 
as much money as the original IPs that are out   there and so what that is telling these studios 
okay we’re trying to give you guys original stuff but if you’re not going out to spend the money to 
go see it you’re telling us with your hard-earned money that you want the the remakes you want 
the sequels so it’s it’s like you’re speaking in code to us so that’s why we are making so 
many of these remakes and these sequels so you know what I mean and I think another big issue is 
we have so many options nowadays a lot of people don’t want to go to the theaters they want to do 
streaming obviously you do see some movies that   still make a ton of money so it it depends on on 
the film but I think that’s the biggest reason we see a lot of remakes and sequels is because when 
they put incredible films that are original a lot of times they’re just not making a lot of money 
unfortunately right yeah i would just say to Lee get your hands on some A24 films those are good 
ones good original stories that is like the one company especially I think has grown a little 
bit bigger since the pandemic i mean I already beg Greg to be like “Let me cover all the A24 
films cuz they don’t make a ton of money they’re um they’re produced like they are big uh larger 
end indie films.” Um but obviously studios are always trying to make their bottom line so if the 
story already exists easy to rewrite most people even though Snow White you saw my reaction it was 
bad um when uh a project like that is is you’re approached as a director or a writer you’re going 
to climb on top of it to be like “Yeah there’s already that story already exists there’s already 
fans of that it’s already a huge tie into Disney.” It makes it a bit easier even though obviously it 
wasn’t a hit but obviously the the studio is going yeah we think by the marketing materials the name 
of it in general if we can just get a bottom line of audience just to go because it’s called Snow 
White they’ll take the risk just like you know Leela and Stitch live action hasn’t come out yet 
I think comes out next week all that stuff I do   think um sure it’s definitely getting out of hand 
because not all of them can be good right we’ve seen plenty that are they’re not good and I’m with 
you on the original story stuff which is why I would say um head for those like indie films where 
you can find them you know on like Amazon Hulu there’s a bunch of indies out there that tend to 
be that are still like good uh thank you again for the question we appreciate it gabriel thank you 
so much for being a Patreon asking the question   after seeing all of the first season which group 
storyline did you prefer the kids the teens or the adults great question teens or the adults do you 
want me to answer while you’re thinking about it sure i loved all three obviously i would if I had 
a a gun to my head and I have to pick I’d say the kids i just I love the frenetic energy the way 
they interact with each other and I don’t know i just ident not that I Well I guess you could make 
an argument i am a kid in my own right but I just   like I am nerdy like those kids so I just felt 
like I was most connected with those with the the Well I guess Will wasn’t there but with L with 
Dustin with Lucas and with Mike I just I had so much fun every second I was with the kids whether 
they were in danger or whether they were nerding out whatever it was I loved every second we were 
with the kids so I would say the kids but again I enjoyed all three story lines where I thought were 
great yeah that’s like a a tough question but I do um obviously the storyline without the the teens 
in it would be really a lack thereof it wouldn’t have brought us that foundation to take us 
to season two so I think um with the teens   specifically with na with Nancy and Jonathan 
working together that was a lot of fun because we start off with his relationship sort of being 
rough and tumble and him being like a creep and creeping in on her as a picture it’s like he’s 
got to take some time to warm up and nobody really likes him and then finally when they do and 
they’re sort of in the belly of the beast together um and Steve shows up what a fun twist that is cuz 
like we all don’t like him at this point right at this point in the story he hasn’t really he’s he’s 
lost our trust and there’s a way to bring him back in which makes it great writing so I do think that 
you know with the teens I’m I’m like hell yeah let’s go which I loved um great that was all our 
questions from the patrons we super appreciate you for sending those in um we call you super sexy 
over there uh all right Andrew tell me how you feel give me give me the juice on this fantastic 
first two episodes i thought it was before I even get into them like my thoughts as well besides 
saying how fantastic I thought the first two were   especially coming off that first season which 
was pretty close to perfection as you can get so to come up with the story line that you guys 
thought you cracked and so far I think they’ve   done it was impressive i thought it was really 
interesting too Tara that we saw the that crew at the very beginning who could like we saw 008 i 
know that they’re going to come back but literally   that’s the only time it was kind of like a tease 
for later on in the season so I thought that was a a very fascinating choice so I’m I’m curious and 
anxious to see when we’re going to come back then i got to assume that test subject number eight 
there is obviously going to help with the big uh you know Gdora looking monster or whatever but 
yeah I think the the most fascinating part of the the two episodes two things that really struck 
out to me seeing the consequences of everything that happened last season everyone’s PTSD we are 
going to darker a more darker and sinister place for everyone and it’s fascinating you know life 
like yeah we just try to move on with life but sometimes that’s just not how it is especially 
with the ramifications of what they dealt with so   and I think the show is doing it in a very mature 
way a very methodical way and a very grounded way i mean this is a fantasy sci-fi horror show but 
it still feels real you really feel that these moments that they are living with whether it 
comes with Nancy like she’s got I would I would personally say and if again if you disagree I for 
sure I think she’s got a little survivor’s guilt   but even if she doesn’t feel that way at least the 
point that hey I survived Barbara didn’t we’re all pretending like nothing happened and like I got 
I I have to deal with that and then you got other uh people dealing with PTSD you got Will being 
treated like a freak people are not treating him   normally anymore and then also he’s dealing with 
these visions at the same time Mike is dealing with grief now with the loss of L i mean there’s 
a lot for Joyce is like dealing with the fact that yeah she’s got Will Pack but every second he’s 
not with her she like is hinging onto him because   she’s afraid of losing him again she doesn’t want 
to ever have to deal with that i mean these people are dealing with a lot of real world situations 
it’s it’s really fascinating to watch and it’s really good drama I feel as well and the actors 
performances are absolutely like electric and and incredible to watch and you really feel connected 
to them uh I would also say too something I per I I know they they kind of teased it but I didn’t 
expect it so quickly at least if it was going to happen i really love the relationship so far 
between L and Hopper I think too because you know sort of he had a little bit of a redemption 
arc if you will in terms of last season what I mean by that he was obviously not able to save his 
daughter when she passed away there was nothing he could do it’s kind of like you know the Superman 
with you know Jonathan Kent is having a heart   attack doesn’t matter what kind of superpowers 
Superman has there’s really nothing you can do about a heart attack i guess you could rush him to 
the hospital but it’s it’s out of your hands out   of your control and the same thing with Hopper in 
regards to his daughter she had cancer I believe and there was nothing he could do point being is 
he was able to save Will so there was a redemption   arc for him in that manner and now the fact that 
he gets to take care and protect L that’s kind of another uh facet in a redemption arc for him and 
I I find that again feels grounded it feels real and I like that the show can delve into that and 
I really appreciate that and again I love their   interactions it’s It’s not what you would expect 
but it’s so good it feels it feels it I just think their chemistry is so on point and she feels so 
out of her element because she never grew up in this type of environment and it’s and also too 
he’s so out of his element because his daughter passed away at such a young age so he has not had 
a daughter at 11 12 or whatever age she’s at so I’m loving it so far tara how are you feeling 
yeah um I mean obviously I’m really loving it i think what they did a good job of in beginning 
this season is that ideally everyone is trying to move on from the disaster that has happened and 
new people are coming in so we see not only Winona Ryder moving on right we’re fully introduced to 
a brand new boyfriend here and then obviously um you know Jonathan and Will are kind of like 
do they like him like they’re they’re sort of like he’s a nice guy like whatever and then we 
also see the kids moving on with Mad Max and and being and Mike it feels he’s he’s not with it 
right it’s it’s almost like he’s still stuck with Will in that PTSD arena of life that you’re seeing 
everybody else move on except you’re still stuck in in the back right and there’s a lot of that 
that has to do also is very closely related to Hopper except he gets to be with the past that 
they don’t realize still exists which is 11 um so I also think though the when Hopper and 
Winona Ryder Hopper and Joyce are leaving from the therapy session the way that he looks at Joyce 
and just says you know in his line I’m happy for you and she kind of rolls her eyes he’s like 
“No really I am.” But they do a very particular pickup in the way that he looks at her there is 
obviously like love and care there and he says “If this happens again you call me.” He not only says 
it once he says it twice he says “Call me.” Which means they are setting up a relationship right 
that is so strong that she feels like she can call him yet they are again moving on that’s why 
it makes fun of her like who’s the smart brains is he still back at home um so initially there’s 
everyone is trying to move on but there’s still a piece of the past that’s keeping them back and we 
know from the audience’s perspective that there is still quite a danger there we’re we’re introduced 
to the Russian guy he comes out of nowhere he’s given cards to Barb’s mom we’re like what what is 
this guy right and then we see that obviously all the crop the crops are dying and we’re trying 
to figure out is the upside down getting to the getting to the top and how is it how how is 
that happening right because they’re charring the   inside of the upside down so maybe it’s reaching 
up there um so I think they just did a really good job of com not only holding us to the past giving 
us a peak the audience and like this this shite is still going down while also just making you feel 
like I don’t know maybe it’s safe like they’re going out trick-or-treating the Ghostbusters 
thing is really fun the music the candy the plans you forget that like there’s danger until they 
decide the Duffer brothers specifically because they wrote and directed these um until they decide 
when they want it to come up and that’s what makes them really good at their job because you it’ll 
just it’ll hit you the way that they want it to they deliver it really well no well said i mean 
there were definitely a couple times where like   when the little kid was pointing the gun and cuz 
like you feel the suspense building up and the tension and then the little kid’s just pointing a 
toy gun at him you just don’t know when it’s going to strike and like that’s my favorite obviously 
I’m I’m not I don’t like to be scared but like if I’m going to be that’s my favorite kind of horror 
when you don’t know it’s going to strike not just   jump scare jump scare jump scare jump scare jump 
scare you know what I mean so yeah that’s that’s definitely a very good point that I I agree with 
and I think this the first two episodes just did   a great job letting us know where the characters 
are at right now letting us know the ramifications that they are dealing with from the past as you 
mentioned and then also setting us up for the monster as well as the nefarious organization 
that’s still in on all this also the fact that I thought it was interesting too Tara that uh 
everyone who was involved in season one all of our main cast they can’t say anything because if they 
do like this organization which is obviously like super spy government whatever like they will they 
will do something to them like they they might take them out whatever totally so you know it it 
puts them in a bind like especially with Nancy too it really puts her in a bind because she sees 
I think that Russian guy you were talking about   he’s like some private detective or what whatever 
he is but like to see the parents be so hopeful and and thinking that they’re finally going to 
find their daughter and to be selling their home uh so they can afford this man’s services and like 
Barbara deep down wants to say like I’m so sorry to inform you a monster even though I don’t know 
if they’re going to believe that but your daughter   is no longer here a monster snatched her don’t 
sell your home don’t I hate to break that to you but like the fact that she has to keep all that 
within and I think that actress is just doing such a great job but it’s also uh it’s really 
incredible to see too which ones are dealing with that PTSD and which ones are trying to just 
like move on from it because like Dustin Lucas I would say Steve and I would say Jonathan as well 
it feels like they’ve kind of right now just moved on and while everyone else is really dealing with 
the either PTSD or grief so but I love this i love the setup so far in the first two episodes cuz 
like the story is proceeding while also setting up at the same time and I think that’s a very 
difficult test to do but it was executed really   well in the first two episodes yeah agreed and 
we’ve we’ve got to throw in some characters that you know are are are strong points that don’t deal 
with like oh I’m still linked to the past or the PTSD thing so that it can sort of balance out our 
characters so there’s something to bounce off of so they’ve done a a good job with choosing who 
who is still stuck and who’s moving forward um ideally to see where we land in the the rest of 
the season we’ll see and so far I like Mad Max a lot i think she’s a very volatile inclusion into 
the the group obviously I think Mike like looks at her as a L replacement so he will at least right 
now he’s not accepting of her but I still think she’s a worthy inclusion of the group i love how 
her performance so far so I’m I’m curious to see where that continues to go i hate her brother with 
a passion i’m sure that’s the point we’re supposed to wonder if it’s going to be Steve’s situation 
where he evolves but right now I mean he tried   to run over three kill or maybe it was just 
scaring his sister i don’t know i think he was just scaring i think he was but but either way he 
is a douch he’s a jerk and yeah I’m curious to see where we go with those two characters but uh again 
great first two episodes awesome way to start the season yeah you’re a prick but you got a cool car

Join Tara Erickson & Andrew Gordon as they return to Hawkins, Indiana, for Netflix’s thrilling follow-up to the ’80s sci-fi hit Stranger Things. Created by the Duffer Brothers, the series blends nostalgic small-town drama with chilling supernatural terror, led by Winona Ryder as Joyce Byers (Heathers, Black Swan) and David Harbour as Chief Jim Hopper (Hellboy, Black Widow), alongside the kids you love: Millie Bobby Brown as Eleven (Enola Holmes), Finn Wolfhard as Mike Wheeler (It, Ghostbusters: Afterlife), Gaten Matarazzo as Dustin Henderson (Prank Encounters), and Caleb McLaughlin as Lucas Sinclair (Concrete Cowboy).
Chapter One: “Madmax” re-introduces our heroes six months after the Upside Down was closed. Stranger things stir in Hawkins: Eleven (Millie Bobby Brown) hides out with Hopper (David Harbour) in a cabin while adjusting to isolation; Mike (Finn Wolfhard) struggles without her; and a new girl, Max Mayfield (Sadie Sink, Fear the Walking Dead), rolls into town on her skateboard—only to attract the attention of her volatile stepbrother, Billy Hargrove (Dacre Montgomery, Power Rangers), in a tense garage fight that ends with Eleven’s powers suddenly flaring.
Chapter Two: “Trick or Treat, Freak” turns Halloween into horror as Hawkins’ kids suit up for costumed candy runs. Nancy (Natalia Dyer, Yes, God, Yes) and Jonathan (Charlie Heaton, Locke & Key) investigate a strange slug afflicting local kids, leading to a chilling poolside chase. Meanwhile, Steve (Joe Keery, Molly’s Game) proves he’s more than a pretty face when he defends the kids from bullies—and demobats—in a hair-raising dark ride that cements his status as Hawkins’ reluctant hero. Don’t miss the end-credit cameo of Dr. Sam Owens (Paul Reiser, Aliens: Omega), hinting that the U.S. government’s interest in the Upside Down is far from over.
Tune in as Tara & Andrew break down the standout moments—from Eleven’s barn-storming display of power and Max’s killer skate-park arrival to the slug-spawn terror and Steve’s unexpected badass turn.

  1. I love that you guys didn't get pissed off at Steve for leaving Nancy at the party even tho she was drunk I would have left as well its one of those stupid double standers because if was Steve lashing out at Nancy everyone would say he's an asshole.

  2. I don’t know why Andrew thought Steve was so bad, it feels like he was bullied by someone who looked like Steve in school. I can’t think of a reason for why he disliked him as much as he did, like more than the common amount most people did when watching season 1.

  3. Love how you guys automatically thought the man in the woods was bad even though he did absolutely nothing wrong. Way to be judgemental guys. Good on ya. And I’m still waiting for Andrew to drop his cringe face. So obnoxious to watch.

  4. Sadie Sink as Max… what an amazing addition to season 2. I absolutely love her character and how she fits in with the group. I love every minute she is on screen 🤩👏🏽

  5. I seriously cannot wait for season 5! I have been rewatching every episode of stranger things and people's reactions for the last several months. That might seem pathetic, but I'm obsessed with this show

  6. Idk if you two have noticed but each new villain gets teased in the dungeons and dragons games before they appear. In the first ep of season 1 before will gets taken, the monster they were fighting in their dnd campaign was called the demogorgan and at the end of season 1 to tease the villain for season 2, the monster they fight in the dnd campaign resembles the thing that will keeps seeing, they called it the thessalhydra in the dnd campain (not a spoiler, the name they used is irrelevant unlike the demogorgan)

  7. steve and nancy’s dynamic specifically evolves a lot, i’m excited for you guys to see what happens in later seasons!

  8. 44:36 me to Andrew! I absolutely love watching Hopper hard at work. It's easy to lose yourself into his character because he's such a great actor and the character he's playing is phenomenal❤

  9. I want to say, what I find so astonishing in this show is that all the characters and their casting transition so well between the seasons. I know, there is a lot of dislike that they took so long and the "kids" are now adults even though they should be high-schoolers BUT that is not as important to me personally and I find it way more enjoyable that almost ALL the characters are still portrait by the same actors throughout all the 5 seasons.

    The once where I find it most impressive are the once that were first only cast as minor roles (especially if they were still kids at casting) but then became mayor roles later and worked perfectly in those roles, delivering A-Class acting performances.
    This season it is Will who you will see more of in future episodes (obviously) or probably already have seen some really impressive acting (in my opinion) given that you are ahead on Patreon. But season 3 also takes a minor character and makes them more of a mayor character (no spoilers obviously) and that worked out perfectly as well I think.
    In case of Will for example, they cast Noah Schnapp only for his limited role in Season 1 (since they didn't know they would get another season at the time). When they then created the story for season 2 and Will's role became much more critical with some scenes that are really hard to act (especially for a kid) they actually did want to recast him but they did also give him the chance to audition and he made the audition good enough that they simply left him in that role, at least that is what I have heard somewhere (unfortunately don't have the source anymore).

    WHAT I WANT TO SAY IS: The casting directors didn't have to go so hard but they did anyway to find the perfect kid, even if it was just for a smaller role.

  10. It's funny how Eleven wanted to dress up as a ghost and the four boys dressed up as The Ghostbusters 😊

  11. I LOVE Andrew's hype over Sean Astin and Paul Reiser being in this season. So excited to see their reaction to this!

  12. Once yall wrap up with this season… i highly recommend goin back to watch the "Thriller" trailer for this season. It's SO good! Also would recommend the same for season 3 (once yall finish that season too ofc).

  13. I’m guessing I’ll be in the minority in this, but from season 2 onwards my least favourite characters have been Mike and Will
