We discuss volume 2 for the fifth season of Stranger Things!   Did you like the new 3 episodes? How will the show end?  Are we dumb?   It’s November 1987 and the gang is trying to hunt down and kill Vecna after the Upside Down breaches Hawkins, leading to military lockdown and intensifying searches for Eleven. Meanwhile, Holly Wheeler has become a target, Henry Creel’s origins are revealed,  and Will's growing connection to the Upside Down becomes crucial. Volume 2: Basically we figure out what the Upside Down truly is and what Vecna’s plan is.The crew conquer a small but important hurdle in their last stand against Vecna… they make it through the heavily guarded MAC-Z gate with the whole party intact. Eleven feels uneasy about the sacrifice that her sister, Kali, has asked her to make. Meanwhile, at the Creel House in Camazotz, Vecna has gathered his kidnapped children to cast a powerful spell that will set his ominous plan in motion.   Stars:Winona Ryder as Joyce ByersDavid Harbour as Jim HopperFinn Wolfhard as Mike WheelerMillie Bobby Brown as Eleven/Jane HopperGaten Matarazzo as Dustin HendersonCaleb McLaughlin as Lucas SinclairNatalia Dyer as Nancy WheelerCharlie Heaton as Jonathan ByersJoe Keery as Steve HarringtonNoah Schnapp as Will Byers     Join the conversation... FacebookInstagramTwitterTikTokYouTubeRate/Review/Subscribe:Apple PodcastsSpotifyYouTubeSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
