  • Where have I been??

    Cheers from Toronto! I’ve been watching Stranger Things from the beginning and as a Gen xer watching these episodes have been so nostalgic with all the music the clothes and the 80s attitudes!! I just came across this podcast and I can’t believe I didn’t know about it until now. I’m caught up and I am at the finale. I can’t believe it. Looking forward to listening to many more episodes!!

  • Don’t Let the Title Fool You - This is Your SAFE Stranger Things Space!

    I have been listening to Mike’s coverage of ST since he began…I remember the days of no commercials 🤣! As a fellow Gen Xer, I appreciate the way he covers the show with the zeal of the true fan that he is. There is lots of hate and people on the internet who say they are fans ALWAYS being super critical. It’s nice to just listen to someone who loves it as much as you!

  • Love this show!

    This guy is so relatable and amazing. I started at the beginning and he’s so humble and sweet about thanking his listeners. It’s also cute how he yawns a lot and says he’s sleepy. (Same, dude. Always.)

    But anyways!! About the actual show, he does an amazing job recapping everything and including relevant Easter Eggs and 80s references. As a 90s baby, most of them go right over my head.

    Keep up the incredible work! Thanks for paying such close attention to the show for us!!!

  • If you're looking for a darn good time, pick this one! Mike is funny and draws out all the amazing story beats you love if you love stranger things, and he doesn't get enough love. There's some audio balancing issues if you are not using headphones, but otherwise it's a high caliber problem
