Episode 122 Thumbnail — Stranger Things Have Happened

Full Patreon cut: “Yellow Brick Road to Nowhere.”

What starts as a ship-in-distress cold open turns into a full episode on Stranger Things, vampire movies without stakes, Netflix IP fatigue, and why modern horror feels increasingly safe, familiar, and hollow.

Also: Fantastic Four déjà vu, Quentin Tarantino comparisons, and the creeping realization that nothing is allowed to end anymore.

🎧 Audio Podcast

Stranger Things, Sinners, vampire movies, Netflix acquisitions, nostalgia loops, and the slow death of stakes in modern storytelling.
“The Upside Down stopped being scary.”
