We’re breaking down Stranger Things Season 5: Part 1 in this spoiler-filled podcast episode analyzing the opening chapters of the final season on Netflix. We’re unpacking major plot developments, character arcs, and theories for the end, like, will anyone die?? From Hawkins’ weird reality and Vecna’s ongoing threat to the evolution of Eleven, Mike, Dustin, Lucas, Will, and more, we examine how Stranger Things is setting up its endgame.

This episode covers unanswered mysteries and long-running theories, while exploring the show’s themes of friendship, DnD and what really matters. Is Season 5 Part 1 building toward a bold, satisfying conclusion—or relying too heavily on nostalgia? We discuss what works, what doesn’t, and what clues may hint at how the series will ultimately end.

The Game Awards 2025 have come and we’re talking about the winners, the nominees, the controversies, but most of all how lovely and fun the people and culture of gaming are on their big night. Do you love the Game Awards? Dislike them? We were there on the ground for the [free] portion of the evening and will tell you about it in this hangout episode of Intro Skippers! You can technically skip the intro of a game, so, we think this topic counts.

Is Emmett Otter’s Jug-Band Christmas the best Muppet holiday special ever?? Some say yes and some say hard no, but this Jim Henson special is truly special in many ways and paved the way for many muppets to come. It may even be Amy Poehler’s favorite and one of the host’s of this podcast.

Pluribus may be the best show of 2025. From the alien signal that transforms humanity into a collective hive mind, to Carol Sturka’s desperate struggle to maintain individuality, this episode we dive deep into themes, symbolism, character arcs, shocking twists, and what Episodes 1–4 mean for the rest of Vince Gilligan’s excellent new show on Apple TV+.

If you’re watching Pluribus, this is the spoiler-packed conversation you don’t want to miss. If you aren’t watching Pluribus, watch Pluribus. 10/10.

Would you be open to what the hive mind has to offer, or would you rage like Carol? Let us know!

It: Welcome to Derry on HBO Max is a series that ties together It, It: Chapter Two, The Shining, and probably a lot of Stephen King stories, despite not being directly based on any book.

In this episode, we break down how the series connects to King’s wider multiverse, including cosmic horror elements, Pennywise, and ties to characters, timelines, and mythology across his works.

Prequels are hard, but the juice does seem to be there, despite a known scaredy-cat/ nostalgia hater as one of your two co-hosts!
