Heroes, Just for One Day: An End to Stranger Things

In another solo reaction commentary, host Cindy Collins Smith takes on the finale to Stranger Things - including how its Mind Flayer plot parallels the Mind Flayer in Baldur’s Gate 3, how the government’s efforts to turn humans into Cold War weapons hearkens back to Frankenstein and Myst, how confronting fear can lead differently disposed characters to compassion or an embrace of evil, how El’s final act reinforces her friends’ choice to believe in the good… and how the song that helped tear down the Berlin Wall became the culminating song for the series.
