    Episode 203

    Collin and Doug tackle the first-ever Monster of the Week episode – the creepy, unnerving, and all-around icky “Squeeze”. From that Pennywise-ish cold open to Tooms’ über-vacant final stare into the light, we talk about everything – including the Right Here Right Now of it all, the MotW origin story, and how someone really did scamper down that chimney.

    Episode 114

    Whitney, Collin, and Doug wrap up their chit-chat about the new Netflix series 'The Boroughs' by discussing the erotic leanings of 'Alien', Tom Selleck's sexiness, and the confusion between Bruce Springsteen and Billy Joel.

    Whitney, Collin, and Doug revisit the music that made Stranger Things great, with their list of the series’ best needle drops.

  12. Stranger Things Post Show: Season 5 Wrap Up

    Episode 109

    Show notes

    Whitney, Doug, and Collin tie a ribbon on Season 5 of Stranger Things by picking their favorite episodes and their Superlatives for the season... and having a lengthy discussion about what went wrong (and plenty of things that went right). From the superfluous opening flashback to the glorious trap at the Turnbows, we tackle it all. Grab your 45 of ‘Purple Rain’ and join us! Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

  13. Stranger Things Post Show: Conformity Gate!

    Episode 108

    Show notes

    Collin, Whitney, and Doug keep the Stranger Things fires burning with a discussion of the conspiracy theory that has failed to pan out (so far). No, Melvald’s doesn’t serve milkshakes anymore, and yes, the Squawk dial changed color… but does that mean there’s a secret ninth episode hidden in a vault at Netflix headquarters? Grab your orange graduation gown and join us as we get to the bottom of Conformity Gate! Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company. See https://pcm.adswizz.com

Come along as we chat about accepting what happened – including Hopper’s recycled (?) ring, Jonathan’s failed attempt at geography, and that sweet Lumax moment. Plus, we announce our dead pool winner! And, of course, Music, one last Where in the World Is…?, and Superlatives. Do your best Debra Winger rasp and join us!

  20. S5E4: Sorcerer

    Episode 4

    Show notes

    Whitney, Collin, and Doug wrap up Volume I of Stranger Things 5 with 'Chapter Four: Sorcerer'. The Duffers call it "the most logistically insane shoot of our lives," so there's obviously plenty to talk about, including hovering demogorgons, Derek's redemption, and (of course) Will's new propensity for nosebleeds. Plus– Music, Tire Peel-Outs, Where in the World Is…?, and Superlatives! Put on your crisp white Tom Waits t-shirt and join us!
