The Vecna isn’t the only horrifying thing that you see this season. Shedding the skin of the fun, breezy Stranger Things that we started with a few years ago, this season is going down darker roads. We have to sit with these characters through more adult situations as they try to navigate these with kid solutions. And it is starting to seem that Hopper is likely evolving into a Steven McQueen-esque superhero. Maybe.
David Simon ends his statement in a finale that leaves us both heartbroken and hopeful. The bad guys in blue are behind bars, but that’s not enough. The current broken system will churn out more. Does Jenkins, and people like him, truly realize that they are part of the problem? How far can this situation push until it breaks people like Nicole Steele? It makes us ask the question, what does it mean to truly do good and create a justice system based on rehabilitation and redemption?
Stand-up-comic Steve and Dr. Anthony are back to cover season four of Stranger Things: The Hellfire Club. We dissect the importance of Lucas’s hair, the first hints of a trauma theme, and debate Eddie’s over-the-top personality
Comedian Steve Ausburne talks over one of his favorite episodes. This episode has it all. Real-world consequences of war chests (or lack thereof). Drogon finally attacks Westeros, and Littlefinger meets his match.
Those icy blue eyes of the Vecna have us transfixed when the episode isn’t being a little clunky. The relationships in this show deliver in the teenage angst department. Jim can’t relate to the angst because he’s always been popular. But the real question to the duality of existence, can someone be both a monster…
Someone take care of these kids! Eleven/Jane is being bullied and Will, easily the most traumatized child in Hawkins, is hurting and wants his friends back. We hope life is kind to this cinnamon roll of a person, but this is Hawkins. A.Ron is putting on Dustin’s thinking cap and has some theories to present. How is everyone with guilt or dark secrets going to be affected by Vecna? We’re dying to find out.
Stranger Things is back with a moodier season and we’re here for it. Hawkins, Indiana is haunted and harassed once more by…STRANGE things (I couldn’t help myself). The kids are growing up and growing apart while finding their place in the world. And who is this monster for this season? Mind Flayer 2.0, some sort of Soul Reaper, someone who spent way too much time in the sun? We’re ready to find out.
Medievalist Jana Matthews explains and ranks the five different sex positions known to medeival Europe. We find out which one Tyrion prefers. Then Anthony wonders: maybe Shea was always Tywin’s spy?
The Boys are back. After almost two years, we’re ready for the next season of blood, guts, and fun. Can Karl Urban hold up to his own high standards? We’re hopeful that he will and for many other things. We’ll be covering each episode with podcasts dropping Friday nights. Send in your (non-comic related) feedback to dhs@baldmove.com.

The mid-season finale was a serious mind-blower with “Jim and Kimmy’s” plan to take down Howard coming to fruition and Gus’s stalker Lalo, showing up where he’s not wanted. Join us for the podcast to hear our thoughts before the 6-week break until the final stretch of Better Call Saul.
