Stranger Things and listener questions (00:29:30)

80s nostalgia and throwbacks to old movies
Was the time setting of the 80s a gimmick to draw audience or a necessary ingredient to the story? @STCPod
Rewarding viewers for knowing things - the value of information
Eleven
Who wins in a duel between Eleven and Rey (The Force Awakens)? @alatinolawyer
Winona Ryder makes a comeback and other casting choices
The D&D connection
The Upsidedown
Are the adults in Stranger Things too quick to accept the supernatural they encounter? @alatinolawyer
Some outlets have been criticizing the portrayal of the female characters - is this warranted?
Did Barb deserve better? (spoiler: yes) @The_Dec_Webb
What did you think of Nancy staying with Steve at the end? @Matteo138
Why was this show such a hit?
Was it a mistake to show the monster?
I’d like to hear your thoughts on practical vs digital creature effects. Did it work here? What would you change? @mustyhobbit
Do you want a second season where the kids are grown up and awkward? A completely different season 2? Or no new season? @xhugglesx
What theories do you have for season 2? @VintageVGGeek
