Stranger Things Theories
This week, Kyle welcomes an honest-to-goodness Gen Zer, Nerdist editorial intern Sarah Campbell, to discuss Stranger Things ahead of its final season. They talk about Sarah's current rewatch, what worked and didn't about the previous seasons, as well as wild internet theories for season 5 and place odds on who's gonna die. Not one mention of Eggos, though.

Comic Movies in 2026
This week, Kyle welcomes back friend of the show Hector Navarro to take a look at the state of big comic book movies at the moment. 2025 had plenty of offerings, but none made the kind of money they once did. So what does that mean for next year? Does Avengers: Doomsday have a chance to break $1 billion? What about Supergirl?

Mortal Kombat 1995
This week, Kyle welcomes back Adam Murray to discuss another weird '90s movie from their childhood. This time it's arguably (although who would argue) the first actually good video game movie, 1995's Mortal Kombat. Why did it work? Does it hold up 30 years later? And where does it fall in the canon of video game flicks?

Universal Monsters
For the final episode of this spooky season, Kyle welcomes back Eric and Mikey to discuss the classic Universal Monsters movies. Eric and Kyle are big fans; Mikey has never seen a single one...until now! How well do these nearly 100-year-old movies fare to a brand new viewer in 2025? Is there a reason Halloween can't get enough of them?
