For some reason Netflix, in their infinite wisdom, decided that the proper way for everyone in the world to spend their winter Holidays of American Thanksgiving through Christmas and New Years was to focus on concluding the — wow… ten year — Stranger Things saga. And somehow, even with all of our various holiday things going on, we did manage to catch it. Maybe we’re devoted… or maybe we’re just lame, who’s to say. So on today’s episode, join Mav, Hannah, Wayne and returning guest Josh Stroud to break down the final season of Stranger Things, how it related to the rest of series and overall cultural power of the show and what it says about a dying vestige of both 1980s and 2020’s popular culture.,
