Episode 85 - Stranger Things Season 2! - Recap and Review

November 17, 2017

Have you finally watched season 2 of Stranger Things on Netflix?! Well on the feature segment today we recap and review the whole thing! What characters did you like? Was there too much action? Too much character development? What was with that one episode that wasn't even in Hawkins Indiana? We tackle it all.

For Nerdy News we cover the mysterious time travelling gambler who can't lose, the Marvel Cinematic Universe's record breaking box office receipts, and a new algorithm that can diagnose you over social media!

Then Jarman brings back an old segment, Preternatural Penetration, where we talk about the real "historical" mysteries surrounding the Montauk Project that inspired the story of Stranger Things. Then Steve sets the stage for us to jump into 80s nostalgia with some fun facts about early arcade games.

After the feature we have some arcade trivia: Is it a 1980s arcade game title? Or failed sci-fi TV show?

For Trailer Reviews we cover Winchester: The House That Ghosts Built and The New Mutants. Keeping things strange....

Then join us for some more Radical Recommends we know you'll love. A jam packed episode!
