I hate it, but I love it.

I high-five all, everybody.

I high-bonusly a little bit, welcome to I hate it, bonus I love it, I am Jocelyn Getty.

I am Kat Angus, and this is the podcast about all the pop culture you love and hate simultaneously.

And while we usually do theme months, and there will be a theme this month, we're taking

a little sejourn this week over into Stranger Things season 4, both parts 1 and 2.

Indeed, hence why it kind of feels like a bonus, even though it's a regular episode.

And in honor of that, this episode will be 40 hours long and split into several parts.

But very unevenly, we'll release, I want to say, 80% of it, and then it'll be very obvious

that we're still working to finish it. And then the last tiny chunk will come out at the,

you know, very last minute. I heard actually they were literally finishing the show up to midnight

on June 30th. Apparently, if you watched it right at the midnight one, you watched a slightly

different version than people who started watching it 12 hours later. Yes, you did!

Not great. No, it's not. So, Kat, what were your feelings on Stranger Things 4?

Oh, bloated is what I would say. Yep.

For how bloated it was, very slight. I hated that all the characters were split up.

Like, usually the characters are all often doing different things, but around the same area.

Yeah. And then like, they all come together for this final thing. And like, in this one,

they had to be like, oh shit, like, we didn't get them all back together. How can they all still be

working together to achieve a personal, like, in the same goal? And they're like, I don't know, like,

tell up of mine stuff.

When? Mine stuff.
