We start off at a slumber party in a cabin in the woods where El uses her psychic abilities to spy on people and she gets scared of a fart and a possible murder. This is not the babysitters club people, this slumber party is almost as weird as the ones in Jessica Jones (inside joke with myself)

Hopper comes home drunk and stood up but he's happy his daughter is making out with Max instead of Mike now because she's just way cooler than him. (kidding, well not about Max being cooler because she is, but the rest of it)

Steve, Dustin and Robin are doing a better job of defending the country than anyone has since the 1960s by spying on a jazzercize class and hopping up on tables in the mall and yes they are still doing a better job of catching Russian spies than Brenner and the actual government irl

Joyce tells Hopper she was in the same room as another man for important reasons and his man brain can't handle that because he's suddenly an annoying jealous bf, even though he's not her bf at all... chill out Hopper, I know you are better than this. But he promises to take her on a date at the place were all her troubles came from and where her last bf died which is a great idea...

Mike and Lucas are simping over their exes who are way too busy tracking down a missing lifeguard and having a good time to care about stupid boys but when Will wants the boys to stop caring about "stupid girls" Mike does an accidental homophobia and then feels bad... dude you should have just played D&D because you trying to do things in the real world just pisses everyone you care about off badly... you are not good at real life...

Nancy tries really hard to get men in suits in the 1980s to stop being misogynist A-holes and take her seriously and girl... this runs in the family because you are fighting a losing battle, move on because you are better than them anyway, but she's relentless and her and jonathon find Mrs. Driscoll eating fertilizer in her basement and it is disgusting.

Hopper get's his ass kicked at the lab like he's Steve Harrington or something...

El and Max track down a red door and find Billy pretending to be a normal person and not being very good at it

He stares El down because he is also the mindflayer and several other names that we won't find out about until season 4...

Heather thwops her dad, Tom (nancy's boss) upside the head with a wine bottle and it's mildly satisfying except for the fact that she's only doing it because she's been 'flayed' by Billy/the mindflayer... and Nancy didn't even get to see Tom get owned by his own daughter, what a shame

Named after my favorite Kevin Smith film. I guess that makes Eleven- Silent Bob and Max-Jay?

Just like Mallrats, we don't start at the mall, we start at the rat farm where Billy is running away seemingly unharmed, because of racist white male privilege probably.

Mike lies to Eleven because as we find out, just because "friends don't lie" it doesn't mean boyfriends don't, boyfriends lie- ALL.THE.TIME.

Hopper is a little too happy about El's sadness but that's okay because he will have a date with Karma later at Enzo's.

He celebrates with Joyce and almost slips on a MAGNET

and Joyce fixates on those for this entire season starting now

Billy smashes Karen's head in but not really, and then a lifeguard named Heather says "take me to him" but also not really... and this man LITERALLY can not stand the heat of facing the reality of women around him and like most men deals with that logically by kidnapping heather, I wonder if this is even the first time he's done this.

We find out that he has been recruited into being the foot soldier of a genocidal maniac but to be honest if he'd have lived in 1940 or today the same thing would have happened to him anyway.

Max takes El to the mall where she shops and explodes orange julius all over that bitch Stacey (Karma at the mall for rejecting Dustin)

Max is teaching El to be herself and to be a strong independent woman and it is literally the best day of El's life even after she dumps Mike's lying ass

Mike I know it's the 80's but shopping at the mall with just $3.50 is completely ridiculous

Hopper has to stop people protesting Don- I mean the mayor because of the mall and Hopper begrudgingly arrests them and sends them off with Calvin because he's gotta get ready for dinner (it's not a date) riiight, that's why you had flo go get you a brand new magnum PI shirt.

But Joyce has to leave work to go to the middle school science teacher's house because MAGNETS

And Hopper is left at Enzo's all alone because Joyce stood him up because MAGNETS

Dustin and the rest of the scoops troop are busy all episode decoding a russian message and Steve figures out the call is coming from inside the mall because of a song from a horse... Stranger things indeed, yall get your clues about as strangely as Spencer Hastings when she got a phone number from a bird...

Nancy and Jonathon are being the journalist photographer duo and honestly, why would their lives or careers ever drive them apart, they literally have coinciding jobs, their dream life is literally the same one, another rat pops and it's disgusting and all the other rats slime shows up at the end to save heather from Billy I presume because what the freak man? Is this a hobby? Where did you learn to tie up girls and take them to abandoned buildings because this does NOT look like your first rodeo, let's hope the rat blob saves her in time :)

FINALLY, I return to give everyone what no one asked for...

my opinions... tee hee

Had a hard and busy year, mostly bad stuff but some good, I love my new husband!! (so far ;) )

Now back to Stranger Things

We start in Russia, where right off the bat several people are fried by white rose's machine... oops wrong show... anyway the terminator kills a scientist and they say comrade a million times... later in Hawkins,

El and Mike make out even though they are THIRTEEN and Hopper is being "strict" by allowing this as long as the door is open three inches. It does make him turn into a tomato though.

There is a mall in town now where Steve Harrington is yelling "AHOY!" at teenage girls and sneaking kids through the back halls so they can watch horror movies as if their lives aren't enough of that already.

Will touches his neck for the first of a thousand times. The electric goes out and the mall is the center of all evil. Except the rat farm at the edge of town is also the center of all evil.

The next day Nancy sneaks out of Johnathon's bed and Joyce thinks it's adorable and we all think she is adorable for finding it adorable.

Dustin is back from Camp Nowhere or whatever it's called and can't believe no one cares that he's home and they can't believe he has a girlfriend.

Hopper gets Joyce's help drafting a heart-to-heart with El and Mike and tries to date her but she's got plans to pair the two grossest things to eat at the same time ever.

Karen is trying seduce a teenager and he's cool with it but no one else should be.

Again Will grabs his neck and looks terrified like he just saw his own haircut, or maybe he's worried that he'll never play D&D again and this will be about the only thing he does for the entire season

Dustin builds a radio tower and tries to contact his "perfect" girlfriend and Lucas says "no girl is that perfect"

But Max is perfect OBVIOUSLY!! And Suzie is not real OBVIOUSLY and only one of those things are for sure the truth

Hopper tries to talk to the most annoying couple ever but the annoying half of that couple makes him mad so he threatens to kill Mike's Nana before taking Mike out to the Bronco and threatens to kill him instead lol

Karen sees her husband asleep and he's not so bad when he isn't talking so she decides not to sleep with a guy her daughters age after all

Billy is more than ready for the date though as he talks to himself in his car, something wrecks him right beside the rat farm and he gets out to yell at the car for it.

Then suddenly karma grabs Billy by the ankles and drags him to the basement of the barn where rats are grown and exploded like so much popcorn. :P

Carla Gugino? Ted Wheeler? Cole Sprouse? Mary Shelley? A PINK house? How could I NOT cover this on the podcast?

Okay Cole Sprouse could have the best chemistry with a lamp... thankfully in this movie we have Kathryn Newton who I haven't seen before this movie but I LOVE her... this cast is top notch...

this movie is so FUN and colorful and a pink house with a teal door... it's like it was made for me specifically because literally that's what colors my house is too...

"yea... yea... she's a bitch" possibly best line

I laughed a lot but I also cried... I don't care what critics say about this movie... also I want a Victorian man as a bf (mainly Charles Dickens) this movie is so cute, the romance is sweet and real and adorable, Cole is adorable... I love this mix of Edward Scissorhands meets Heathers meets all the best color schemes and fashions... it's all the things I love and this movie is not for the filmbros it's for the tumblr girlies so if you're not down for that... what is wrong with you? lol

what started out to be a podcast about Lisa Frankenstein turned into a rant about Riverdale, I promise I'll get to Lisa Frankenstein next episode

The season two finale, finally. Mike pulls a Noah from the notebook "I 'wrote' every day for a year" And El tells him she telepathically left him on 'read' and hopper takes the blame so Mike beats him up and hopper lets him because he's emotionally intelligent El sticks her thumb in Dustin's mouth and her cold shoulder at Max

Nancy and Jonathon get steamy again but this time it is not fun and his mom and brother is there (kind of)

Billy hits on Karen and then hits on Steve (in more than one way) Mike wants to start a fire and Steve says 'uh yea that's a no' El retraumatizes herself to save the world Nancy stabs a twelve year old with a red hot poker and it's all good Max lays down the law on Billy's racist ass and steals his car so they can go be arsonists underground Hopper is the best dad and El is the best daughter and Owens isn't so bad Murray gets revenge, barb is laid to rest There's a dance Dustin is sad and Nancy is not just badass she's a sweetheart and Jopper hug 🤗 Kisses, dancing, upside down It's not over yet

Travel back with me to the 90s to enjoy one of my favorite guilty pleasures...

This movie has a lot going on, but most of it is super fun and unexpected, it goes against a lot of stereotypes and introduces us to Carla Gugino, which is like so awesome.

The acting is really good, and yes lots of people complain about Pauly Shore but is he really that bad? Really?

He's at the very least adorable... I think he does a good job honestly and he's not NOT trying to be different character, the 'weasel' was kind of his whole thing on purpose just like "Jay and Silent Bob" are the same in all their movies, you go to see them, it's almost an IP ya know?

The 90s was a great time for movies, when even the stupid ones were actually pretty good and lowkey MVP of this movie was Tracy who did nothing wrong and got treated the worst for absolutely no reason until the end.

Also I come up with a new way to judge men, and it's kind of a thing I've been thinking about a lot lately. This is a long podcast and discription but oh well chill out bud-dy :)
