Kathleen, Miles and Kirk continue to re-watch Stranger Things 5 Chapter 8 ‘The Rightside Up’!
Join us in discussion from Henry’s journey into the mines of non-redemption to Mike, Eleven and Prince in the void. We talk about taking the final battle with a grain of cinematic salt and luxuriate in the beautiful epilogue.
We also give out our Season 5 Awards! This concludes our Season 5 Deep Dives. We will be back in some capacity that is not currently clear. We will be on some other podcasts as well in the near future!

The Rightside Up (Part 1) | S5 E8 Deep Dive
Kathleen, Miles and Kirk re-watch Stranger Things 5 Chapter 8 ‘The Rightside Up’
Join us in discussion through the steps of Operation Beanstalk from the saving of the kids in Henry’s mind-world to stop the Abyss to the Steve’s almost-death on the upside down WSQK radio tower. We talk about Mike and Will, Nancy’s love triangle concluded without her, Kali’s importance to the episode and series, the nature of the Abyss and the rich and tragic conversations between Hopper and Eleven.
We'll be back for Part 2 of the finale on 2/6. My gosh, feels like we have the whole episode still to go. Taking the time to focus on the beginning though is the great part about these deep dives. So fun to talk about the little things!

The Bridge | S5 E7 Deep Dive
Kathleen, Miles and Kirk re-watch Stranger Things 5 Chapter 7 ‘The Bridge’.
Join us in discussion of the journey from the Moby-tracked Max and Lucas reunion to Will’s coming out as an act against Vecna. We talk about the Holly versus the kids, Mr. Clark’s assist, Kali’s ick, Steve’s plan and Dustin’s explanation of Brenner’s work and our final understanding of the Upside Down.
We finish with Kirk's Funny Moment, Kathleen's Feeler Moment and Miles' Music Moment of the episode.
We'll be back for Chapter 8 in two parts on 2/1 and 2/6! We are not ready to say goodbye. But that’s the point of a re-watch podcast am I right?
