Steve's Stranger Things

Zoning Out is back for the first episode of 2026! Jordan, Jason, and Jonathan kick off the new year by diving into the Stranger Things series finale (SPOILERS AHEAD). We break down what hit, what missed, and what had us yelling at the screen: the “volume” release strategy, the over-explaining/exposition-heavy dialogue, characters randomly turning into motivational speakers, and the biggest debate of all… How did NOBODY important die?! We also get into: • Why Season 4 might’ve been the peak • How the show shifted from creepy mystery to full superhero action • Vecna getting a little too much screen time (and backstory) • Nancy going full Rambo • The military being cartoonishly evil • And why Hawkins realistically should’ve been erased from the map afterward. Then we close with a Would You Rather that turns into a personality test: Would you rather have a “skip the awkward part” button or a “redo one sentence” button — once per day, for life? Plus: quick show plugs and cruise abandonment allegations.   Like, comment, and subscribe (we just cracked 30!)   New episodes presented by The Comedy Zone
