We are joined by Anna (not Torv) as we take a journey through the looking glass with Walter. What will we find there? We share our thoughts on this trippy episode and also share some awesome feedback from Rory, Geoff (xforce11), ShelkyBean, Isla, Erin, and Sarah!

Have you ever been so deep into something that walking away felt impossible, even when everything inside you knew it wasn’t working? Maybe it was a job, a relationship, a project, a bad movie you sat through anyway because you’d already watched an hour and a half of it. There’s actually a name for that trap, and today’s episode is all about it.

A secret photo, a tabloid newspaper, and an unknown monster lurking beneath Hawkins. This week’s episode of Tales from ’85 is packed with tension, teamwork, and an settling final reveal. In “The Weekly Watcher” (Chapter Five), Darrell and Addi break down one of the season’s funnest episodes yet, where the Hawkins Investigators Club finds themselves in a race against the press after a polaroid photo of one of their Upside Down encounters lands in the hands of a tabloid editor.

A few years ago I was faced with a decision I knew was important. It consumed me. I spent weeks thinking about it. I consulted friends, colleagues, and professionals. I knew the stakes and I didn’t want to mess it up. Finally, after carefully weighing the situation, I made my decision. And it didn’t take long to realize that despite all my best efforts, I’d made the wrong choice. Fortunately, a voice emerged that became the lighthouse I desperately needed.

Secrets have a short shelf life in Hawkins, and Chapter Four of Stranger Things: Tales From ’85 puts that truth front and center. A rattled Mike decides it is time to come clean to Hopper, setting off a chain of events that builds into a tense, action-packed race against something monstrous.

We are joined by Cory for this episode as we unpack yet another phenomenal, game-changing episode of Fringe! We talk about how much we love how emotionally poignant this aftermath of an episode is and how it is a great character study not only of the classic Fringe theme of what lengths someone will go to for love but also how people can experience the same tragedy but then react and grieve differently.
