I finished Season 4 of Stranger Things very quickly: all at once, as soon as was physically possible, and in a life damaging manner. It is clear that these guys took to the podcast in a similar fashion, and I have to say I am grateful for that.
In an era where āhate reviewsā are posted just for the clicks, Iād rather like to lean in towards reviewers that actually joyfully engage with the material, rather than antiseptically dissect it, especially when the reviewers are devoted fans themselves.
Throughout Streaming Things podcast, the enthusiasm for the show never wanes. In addition, I felt that the necessary critique of certain plot holes, character analysis, or occasional reasonable disagreement with plot direction all felt welcome and earnest.
I am new to the podcast for this season, and I enjoyed the humor and camaraderie of what feels like three long time friends discussing one of their faves, and it reminds me of going to the movies with friends where we would spend almost as long hashing out the movie afterwards as we did watching it. I am kind of far away from those moments now, and this brings me closer to those fond memories. Cheers, Streaming Things!
