Zero Squelching

Sometimes I just want more Stranger Things in my life without having to hear The Upside Down “squelching wetly” and Amanda and Marina thoughtfully recap each episode so that I don’t have to. They are also both english majors and have really great insight into things like character motivations as well as what likely was the Duffer brother’s intentions on themes and symbolism. I absolutely love how deep they go but everything is balanced out by their humorous banter. Honestly, there is so much here and so much intentionality any Stranger Things fan could likely relisten (and I am!)
