The series finale delivers on nearly all fronts with some great action, some precious final moments between the characters we’ve come to love, and a promising conclusion for Inyalowda / Beltalowda relations. Join us for the podcast to hear our full thoughts on perhaps the best sci-fi series ever made. (We go into that)
Steve Ausburne (stand-up comic) and Anthony Le Donne (academic) rewatch the perfect pilot episode. We discuss Hopper’s homage to Chief Brody in Jaws, if Steve Harrington is a bad fit for Nancy, and how Eleven discovers a better way to eat french fries.
