The Book Club is back Stranger Friends! For the first time in almost 8 months, I am back talking about a Stranger Things book with the brand new Lucas Sinclair focused novel, "Lucas On The Line" by author Suyi Davies. I give my mostly spoiler-free thoughts on this really enjoyable book (oops, spoiler - I liked it). I also read a new email (with a cool thing I did NOT know about), listen to some great listener voicemails, and give the podcasting world premiere to a new song I recorded the other day! I hope you enjoy this episode - and STAY STRANGER MY FRIENDS!

Greetings Stranger Friends!!!! I know it's only been a few days since you last heard from me, but I told you I would be back soon to talk about some thoughts I had on what the future may hold. In this (much much shorter than last time) episode I discuss some thoughts I have about what we might see next. And I take a guess on what we might hear next too - if the timing lines up. I also talk about what is next for Stranger Danger! You didn't think I'd just sit around waiting for Stranger Things 5 did you? Plus I play some voicemails - and mention a little something I have cooking (again stay tuned to your podcast feed in the next couple days). I look forward to having more details on that VERY soon. Until then - STAY STRANGER MY FRIENDS!

Greetings Stranger Friends! I know it's been over a week since you last heard from me and 17 full days since Volume 2 rocked our worlds - but I wanted to take the time to make sure this finale episode was the best I could make it...It definitely was the longest! I can't believe after all this time - all the waiting. All the watching and rewatching. And rewatching again...Stranger Things 4 is all over! What a fun/amazing ride it's been with an absolutely wonderful season of television...and a very enjoyable season of TALKING about that wonderful season of television. Thank you so much for sticking with the show and making this my most successful podcast season yet! I really am looking forward to talking more with you in the future (sooner than you make think) and I really hope you enjoy the episode. Remember, normal is boring - SO STAY STRANGER MY FRIENDS!

Greetings Stranger Friends! It's been a full week since The Duffer Brothers and Netflix gave us those last two epic episodes of Stranger Things 4. Okay, it's been a week and a day - but I started this yesterday so at the time it still was just a week. Anyway - I think that gave us enough time to recover and reset - and now it's time to relive it all again, with today's episode covering Chapter Eight: Papa! I hope you enjoy this episode - and STAY STRANGER MY FRIENDS!

I know, I know - I said you wouldn't hear from me for a few days, but I couldn't help myself! I had to hit record on my handheld recorder and just tank and give my initial and instant reaction to what I just saw. Hopefully I didn't miss too much or get a long wrong. I'll still be back soon with the full episodes covering the two Stranger Things episodes we got today - but in the meantime I just had to talk to you! STAY STRANGER MY FRIENDS!

Happy Wednesday Stranger Friends! Today I am excited to talk about the third episode of Stranger Things 4 - “Chapter Three: The Monster and the Superhero.” While this podcast episode is a little shorter than the first two this season - SO MUCH happens in this episode that sets us on a path to where (I think) this season is headed.

Welcome back Stranger Friends - and hello to any new listeners joining for the first time. It's officially the day after Stranger Things 4 premiered, but I started working on this episodes only a few hours after it was officially available on the East Coast. What a fantastic start to a season I am really looking forward to watching - yes that's right. I only watched THIS one episode so I could talk about without any idea of where the season is going. I don't think I can continue to do this - but this first one - after so many years of waiting was a special one. I hope enjoy it and I look forward to our continued journey over the upcoming weeks.

Wow, after all these months and years - and these final weeks of rewatching every Stranger Things episode - I can fully say I am ready and prepared to be amazed. See you on the other side.

Less than 48 hours away from seeing our friends again!!!! Today I talk about "The Bite" episode and listen to a few voicemails that came in. But let's be honest - How excited are we all to finally get to Friday!? Share your thoughts on the Stranger Hotline!

It's Tuesdaaaaay Stranger Friends! A few more sleeps and Stranger Things 4 is upon us! This was a big episode to rewatch - we finally see what the Mind Flayer has planned for all those "flayed" people (spoiler alert - it doesn't end well for them). I recorded this one in my back yard again - so you might hear a bark or two for the little peanut, my beagle Hagan! Share your thoughts on the Stranger Hotline!

Happy Monday Stranger Friends! The final week is upon us and today I took my lunch break to do what I love doing the most - talking to you about Stranger Things! Okay I should probably get back to work now, but I'll be sure to see you again tomorrow! Stay Stranger! Share your thoughts on the Stranger Hotline!

Happy Sunday Stranger Friends! It's hard to believe that we're only five days away from seeing all our beloved friends again - but while we wait I hope you're taking a look back with me at Stranger Things 3 and today's episode, The Sauna Test. Also, I couldn't not share the awesome shirt my wife got for me - perfect to wear this Friday. And yes, I was trying to look cool in this photo. And yes, I did fail. Stay Stranger!!

Happy Saturday Stranger Friends. Next week at this time - we will have NEW episodes back in our lives. Can you believe it!? Today was such a beautiful day out in Massachusetts that I decided to record the episode sitting outside in my backyard - and at some point I'll be joined on the program by a loud bird who just wanted to say hi. Stay Stranger!

Happy Friday Stranger Friends! Can you believe that next week at this time we'll have NEW EPISODES OF STRANGER THINGS!

Happy Saturday again Stranger Friends! Yes when you last heard from me, I was just finishing up the last rewatch episode in the wee hours of this morning (technically) and now I am back again to talk...you guessed - the next episode of Stranger Things, Dig Dug! Plus there is a bunch of Stranger Things stuff going on out there, so I'll talk about that (a little bit) too... Share your thoughts on the Stranger Hotline!

Happy Friday the 13th Stranger Friends! There was some spoooky stuff in this episode for sure - perfect for today! Plus we finally get an idea of what is going on with all them sad, dead pumpkins! Oh and Happy Saturday the 14th too - because by the time I got this show done, I traveled to the future by one day....See you later on today! Share your thoughts on the Stranger Hotline!

Happy Thursday Stranger Friends! I really did plan on getting this episode up earlier – even watched the show before work! But then time got away from me and I ended up recording after 10pm! Imagine staying up that late? Anywho, today I talk about the really fun Stranger Things 2 episode, “The Pollywog” – but I also talk about that amazing Stranger Things 4 poster that was released today! Share your thoughts on the Stranger Hotline!

It’s very late on a Wednesday night – but not too late to rewatch a great episode of a great television program – which is what I did…obvi! It’s Halloween night in Hawkins – a time for candy and costumes….NIGHT – not day. We learn fast, do not dress up in costumes at school on Halloween day anymore – that was SO last year… Share your thoughts on the Stranger Hotline!

Welcome back Stranger Friends to season two of the rewatch. It's been SO MANY HOURS since the first season finale of Stranger Things - but here we are back talking about the first episode of Stranger Things 2, MADMAX! Oh, and I remembered to talk about the posters this time. Share your thoughts on the Stranger Hotline!

Greetings Stranger Friends! I couldn't get this episode up yesterday and even though I watched it quite early this morning - I couldn't get it up until late tonight! But fear not, we have completed the rewatch of the first season of Stranger Things - so let's celebrate by starting the rewatch of the second season tomorrow! See you then!! Share your thoughts on the Stranger Hotline!

Greetings Stranger Friends and happy Saturday! Today I revisit the penultimate episode of the first season of Stranger Things - The Bathtub. And can you believe there are only 20 days left until our beloved show returns! This episode also features another voicemail AND I talk about an old episode of Geek Mentality from way back in 2016 where I talk about Stranger Things for the first time. STAY STRANGER MY FRIENDS! Share your thoughts on the Stranger Hotline!

I did it! I finally did a rewatch recap and kept it under 30 minutes! Who knows if I will be able to do it ever again - but wow, what a feeling haha. I wanted to make sure to get things up earlier today as I am off to babysit my niece and nephew. I wonder if they're old enough for me to tell them "The Story of Hawkins" before they go to bed tonight? Hmm, better not - I don't want to be blamed for any nightmares! Stay Stranger!!! Share your thoughts on the Stranger Hotline!

I swear I went into this episode saying - I'll take less notes (I definitely did) and I'll go over things quicker and have a shorter episode - and then BOOM - I go and have the longest rewatch episode so far. Oh well, there was just too many good thing to talk about. And even though I may have mixed up "Byers" and "Wheelers" a couple times - I think I did cover just about everything...And there are more posters! Share your thoughts on the Stranger Hotline!

Happy Wednesday! I forgot just how satisfying this episode was - a lot of great stuff happened and a lot of people are starting to realize something is going on and Joyce Byers may actually be telling the truth! Yeah, NO KIDDING! Share your thoughts on the Stranger Hotline!

I am SO happy that I decided to do this. In this episode, we finally see "The Upside Down" - sorry Barb! This one was a rough one, even with knowing what we know - that ending still wrecked me! Share your thoughts on the Stranger Hotline!

Happy Monday! This morning I watched the second ever episode of Stranger Things - but couldn't talk about it right away. I ended up having some time during my lunch break, so if it sounds like I am rushing things and rambling a bit it's because I probably am! You may even hear my dog bark a few times while she was out on the deck. If this was at night I'd be afraid something was out there in the woods! Thankfully it was daytime. See you again soon Stranger Friends! Share your thoughts on the Stranger Hotline!

Surprise Stranger Friends! It's May 2022 and we are finally (almost) here! The new season of Stranger Things is officially only weeks away now - and to celebrate I thought it would be fun to rewatch EVERY episode of Stranger Things and of course talk about it here on the show. It's a much more casual type of recap, with no sound clips and notes - just a lot of me rambling about the episode I just watched. I hope you can come along for the ride and rewatch every episode as we get closer and closer to Stranger Things 4! Share your thoughts on the Stranger Hotline!

Greetings Stranger Friends! It finally happened! The Stranger Things 4 trailer premiered this morning and holy #&!% it is amazing. Doesn't it finally feel real!? We're really getting all our friends back after waiting so long! You've watched the trailer, and you've watched it again. Guess what? So have I - and now I want to go through it slowly and try to figure out what we are looking at and what it could possibly mean? Now for the longest 6 weeks of our Stranger Things fandom!

Every ending has a beginning. It started today at 10:00am EST. A new tweet and a new poster every 15 minutes. Russia. The Lab. Creel House. California. Then at 11:00am we got the premiere DATES announcement! Two volumes and two dates! What!!? Lastly at 11:01am the Duffer Brothers tweeted out a letter to all of us. The letter left be both happy, sad and excited. Excited for what they have in store for us! I was so excited that I had to sit down tonight and talk about everything thrown our way today. Hold on to your butts…..

Happy Holidays my Stranger Friends! The book club is back again to talk about the recently released "Winter Special" comic, from Dark Horse Comics, and written by Chris Roberson with art by ABEL. This was a fun read bringing together some of my favorite things, Christmas, Holiday Specials - and Stranger Things! I hope you enjoy and hope everyone has a great holiday season and a happy rest of 2021! Share your thoughts on the Stranger Hotline!

Happy Stranger Things Day my Stranger Friends! Though we didn't get a premiere date, it has been narrowed down to a season. And although we didn't get a proper season 4 trailer yet, we did get our final teaser that I attempt to dissect like a frog in an 80s movie science class. Sure I forgot to mention the incredible poster that was created by artist Kyle Lambert. And, looking back on the teaser video again maybe when I said Eleven was on a bus she might be being held on a van, but I'm still psyched with what we got today and hope you listen and enjoy me talking about it.

The book club is finally back as I take you on an adventure through the pages of the Dark Horse comic collection, “Stranger Things and Dungeons & Dragons” - written by Jody Houser and Jim Zub. I also talk about some upcoming Stranger Things happenings (Stranger Happenings?), about something I missed about the Creel House video - and there's a musical performance by the band Extreme....eh, okay that last part is a lie (kinda sorta). But the rest all happened - listen to prove I'm telling the truth! Share your thoughts on the Stranger Hotline!

With today's "Tudum" special from Netflix, you knew SOMETHING was going to be coming from the Stranger Things camp. While we didn't get a full fledged trailer, we did get another teaser video titled, "Creel House." What did we learn? Well, we pretty much know what that house was our friends were lurking in, and why they were there. We just don't know the WHY to why they were there? So of course that leads to all kinds of speculation. But what the hell else are we going to do with our time! So Mike talks about it for a little while and tries to figure out what exactly we are looking at. Stay stranger!

If you read the show notes for the last book club episode - you might have already known that you'd be hearing from me again today. Sorry it took so long, but finally I am here today to talk about today's Sneak Peek video!!! I make some observations about what I see, and then I speculate the hell out of things. Well, somebody has to!!! --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/strangerdangerpodcast/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/strangerdangerpodcast/support

I got an email today (4/8/2022) from my podcast host that this episode was taken down because of a 3rd-party music rights claim. I am not sure if it was because of the podcast clip or the music I used but hopefully I edited it enough that this one can stay up (I don't have the original audio so if it sounds like it starts a little weird - this is why! See you soon Stranger Friends!) Stranger Friends, the Book Club is back in session as today I talk about the 2021 Stranger Things novel, “Rebel Robin” written by author A.R. Capetta. I really REALLY enjoyed this book and I hope that comes across in this episode as I attempt to discuss in as much detail as my brain allows. I also talk about the tie in podcast, “Rebel Robin: Surviving Hawkins” which you can find on Spotify and Apple Podcasts (and pretty much anywhere podcasts are available). Follow author A.R. Capetta on Instagram at @ar_capetta or check out A.R. Capetta’s website at OnceAndFutureStories.com. Share your thoughts on the Stranger Hotline!

Stranger Friends, the Book Club is back in session! Today I go through the Dark Horse comics graphic novel, "Zombie Boys" from January 2020. It's a fairly standalone story but starring our favorite boys who are trying to deal with what they just went through back in 1983 (right after season one!) and meet a new friends along the way. It is a real fun read with some touching moments and some terrific art. I hope you get a chance to check it out before listening! This episode also features a song from Jamie T. I'd never heard of him before finding this track, but I may have to check out more of what he does because I really enjoyed this song. Share your thoughts on the Stranger Hotline!

This past week, Netflix held its first ever "Geeked Week" where they made all kinds of fun announcements about new shows and movies coming to the king of streamers. During one of the days, the Stranger Things folks announced four new cast members and characters coming to season 4. So I thought I would hit record and just quickly talk about what we know about them so far.
