TV-Show Discussion:

Kathryn joins Melvin to discuss Stranger Things Season 5! Was it worth the 9-year adventure? How was it in theaters? Is there a secret 9th episode? The two discuss it all, from the insanely large cast of characters to #ConformityGate!

Topics:

• Editor's Note: No Patreon Exclusive discussion! But, I do intend to trim this episode down from its original 1:32:13 length, so if you want to hear the UNCUT version, tune in on Patreon here!
• It's so nice that Stranger Things is actually over during a time where fiction seems never-ending.
• Kathryn and Melvin went to the theater for the finale. For Melvin, it was great. For Kathryn... well...
• Melvin, "It is probably the worst season of Stranger Things."
• Why couldn't it land the plane?
• Offering rewrites because that's what podcasts do!
• So... why does Stranger Things avoid killing major characters?
• Talking #ConformityGate.
• Mel, "Good coming-of-age [stories have] consequences."
