Are we the only ones who think "Dear Billy" might just be the best episode of Stranger Things yet?  With Sadie Sink's impeccable performance, this episode has us heaping praise upon praise.  Robert Englund's performance as Victor Creel also stood out and his story gave us chills.  Is his story to be believed?  We have our doubts. The shootout at the Byers home was one of the most impressive scenes of the series with the one-shot steady cam action, and left us on the edge of our seats.  While Yuri's double cross is one we saw coming, the depth of his double cross is NOT something we foresaw!  Every story element of "Dear Billy" was excellent!  Nancy and Robin faking their way into Pennhurst was hilarious, and the nods to "The Silence of the Lambs" were excellent.  Capping the episode with Max's flashback memories of the kids and Kate Bush's "Running Up That Hill" were absolute perfection! We have much to discuss, listeners once again flooded our inbox with incredible insights, and Darrell has put together such a long theory that at least one (hopefully) thing has to be correct!   Connect with The Stranger Things Podcast: Facebook community Twitter Instagram Contribute Listener Feedback

We saw major developments on every front in, "The Monster and the Superhero."  El is arrested for assaulting Angela with the skate, but ends up rescued by Dr. Ownens and given the option to return to Hawkins, undergo training to restore her powers, and save everyone.  Murray and Joyce make their way to Alaska.  In Hawkins, Lucas finds himself in a delicate position as he tries to provide a layer of protection between Dustin's group and the basketball bullies.  Robin and Nancy find themselves hunting for clues together, unsure how each of them feel about each other or Steve.  Meanwhile, Steve, Dustin, and Max break into the school to examine student records in Ms. Kelly's office.  While there, Max hears the voice of Vecna, wanders out to the hallway, and sees a grandfather clock embedded into the wall. This episode gave us a lot to think about and we loved it.  We feel like it not only moved each of the story lines forward in significant ways, but it set up the stories in ways that they can carry momentum throughout the rest of the season.  We're very intrigued and concerned about what will happen with Max, excited that it looks like Lucas has abandoned the basketball boys to rejoin his geeky friends, and intrigued by the thought of Nancy and Steve rekindling their relationship.  We're also quite concerned for El as we wonder whether Dr. Owens trip to California has tipped off the government to her whereabouts, or if her arrest record will tip off the government posse.  Either way, we're quite sure El is in danger!    Connect with The Stranger Things Podcast: Facebook community Twitter Instagram Contribute Listener Feedback

"Vecna's Curse" is now haunting the residents of Hawkins, just as they beginning to heal from the events of season 3. With the news of Chrissy's death spreading around town, the Hawkins kids begin their own investigations as to what happened?  What the culprit Eddie, the leader of The Hellfire Club, or are their worst fears coming to life and something far more sinister is the cause?  Fred becomes the second gruesome victim of Vecna, and his death gives us more clues to how Vecna chooses his prey. Out in California, El continues spreading her lies in an effort to bamboozle Mike into thinking her life there is great.  Her lies catch up with her though, and she's once again the focus of Angela's bullying.  Mike watches on in horror as El is humiliated in front of the entire skating rink.  El has had enough, and smashes a skate into Angela's face, bringing back memories of the massacre in the Hawkins Lab we saw in "The Hellfire Club." Season 4 continues to be thrilling and more horrorific than ever before.  We have lots of thoughts, some new theories, and a great time discussing, "Vecna's Curse" in this week's episode.
