Stranger Things S1 E1 Deep Dive and Analysis | Chapter 1: The Vanishing of Will Byers

from The We Run on Reruns Podcast · host werunonreruns

During the pilot episode of Stranger Things, Will Byers vanishes in his shed after a faceless, gigantic monster follows him home. This gives Hopper, the Sheriff of Hawkins, Indiana–an otherwise quiet and crime-free town—a mystery to solve. We meet the Wheelers, Will's family, and his friends--Mike, Lucas, and Dustin–all 12 years old, and all D&D and AV club enthusiasts who disregard the Sheriff’s orders to go home and not investigate Will’s disappearance. We’re deep diving into this episode with fun facts, banter, and our rating vs. the public vote. 👉 SUBSCRIBE to Join The RERUNNERS! xo 🎧 YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@WeRunOnReruns 🎧 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/7pZHJUrTErpuIGvSkSupWs?si=5e53bc560cdc4f55 🎧 Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-we-run-on-reruns-podcast/id1829554405 🎧 Amazon Music: https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/07146581-ba7e-427d-b084-0875770fcf32/the-we-run-on-reruns-podcast 🎧 iHeartRadio: https://www.iheart.com/podcast/1323-the-we-run-on-reruns-podc-287867646/ 🎧 TuneIn: https://tunein.com/podcasts/Arts--Culture-Podcasts/The-We-Run-on-Reruns-Podcast-p4717307/?topicId=543169226 Follow us on Instagram (https://www.instagram.com/werunonreruns/) You can also connect with us through our website or email: werunonreruns.com or [email protected] THANK YOU!  Your Hosts, Amanda & Eric
