Stranger Things: Tales from 85 Review | Is the Animated Series Good?

Welcome back to the Draoon's Lair Podcast with Daniel the Dragon and James Haynes! This episode is packed with deep dives into the latest animation, legendary documentaries, and classic cinema as we wrap up Pride Month. Strap in for a ride through the Upside Down, the Legend of Vox Machina, and the rock and roll legacy of Little Richard. 🐉In this episode, we kick things off with a massive anime preview, covering returning hits like Bleach Thousand-Year Blood War and Mushoku Tensei. We then head to Hawkins for a review of the animated Stranger Things Tales of 85 and have a serious discussion about the current state of streaming and why so many great shows like The Burrows are getting cancelled too soon. 📺We also celebrate Pride Month by exploring the incredible life and complicated legacy of Little Richard in the documentary I Am Me. We transition into a nostalgic review of the 1996 comedy classic The Bird Cage, discussing its legendary cast and how it holds up today. To top it all off, we break down the epic fourth season of The Legend of Vox Machina on Amazon Prime and share our favorite moments from the Critical Role crew. 🌈Chapters 🕒0:00 Welcome to the Draons Lair Podcast2:45 Summer Anime Recommendations and Bleach5:15 Mushoku Tensei and Isekai Favorites8:30 Saga of Tanya the Evil and More Anime11:15 Stranger Things Tales of 85 Review14:40 New Characters in Hawkins17:20 The Burrows and Streaming Cancellations20:50 The Changing Television Landscape24:15 Why Shows Need Time to Find an Audience27:50 Discovering Hidden Gems on Streaming31:15 Masters of the Universe and Popcorn Buckets34:30 Final Verdict on Stranger Things Tales of 8537:45 Little Richard I Am Me Documentary41:15 The True King of Rock and Roll44:40 Little Richard's Gospel Era and Identity48:10 A Message for Pride Month51:30 The Legend of Vox Machina Season 4 Review54:45 Critical Role and Voice Acting Highlights58:20 The Bird Cage 1996 Movie Review1:01:50 Humor and Social Commentary in The Bird Cage1:04:10 Closing Plugs and How to Connect1:05:28 Video EndIf you enjoyed this episode, please make sure to subscribe, like the video, and share it with your friends!
