Stranger Things Season 5, Volume 2: As An Exotic Matter of Fact

Sadie Sink as MAX; Nell Fisher as HOLLY

Harrison Martin aka Flixfrog returns for a discussion on Stranger Things season 5, part 2. While our opinions differ on if this part was better than part 1, we both had things we liked about this newest selection of episodes. We approach the finale with hope and a prayer that this beloved show will end things on a high note. 

We break down the character arcs, the un-proposal from Jonathan and Nance, the make up between Steve and Dustin, the coming out scene with Will, and the satisfaction of seeing Max wake up. 

Caleb McLaughlin as LUCAS, Finn Wolfhard as MIKE, Winona Ryder as JOYCE, Noah Schnapp as WILL, Maya Hawke as ROBIN

There's much more, but we do take a pit stop to discuss our favorite snacks and end with our outstanding character awards. All this, and more awaits those who enter. Mellon!

You can go here and here to see our season 4 discussions. For the first part of season 5 discussion, go here. The finale drops on New Year's Eve. Check local theaters if you would like to see it on the big screen.
