Stranger Things Happen with Grant Goodman

What this episode covers

This week The Junkies welcome an incredibly special guest; Grant Goodman, aka ‘Freak’ from Stranger Things. Grant welcomes Shauna, Hayley and Alex into the Hellfire Club, and talks about his time on the hit show’s fourth season, covering topics like telling the Duffer Brothers apart with their masks on, working around Covid lockdowns, how he was the master of the reaction shot, and the rise of Eddie Munson, played by Joseph Quinn. Grant has been working since he was a kid, where he may or may not have been peed on playing the younger version of Rainn Wilson’s character in the James Gunn movie Super, and will be appearing in the new Netflix comedy Mo, coming from A24. The Junkies ask Grant what he’s watching and listening to now, and Grant tells us how his newfound fame means fan encounters everywhere, even in the restroom.
