Summary
Our latest guests on Soundtracking are Matt and Ross Duffer, creators of the epic Netflix sensation, Stranger Things, which has just entered in its fifth and final season. To summarise very briefly, Stranger Things tells the story of a group of young friends in In 1980s Indiana, who encounter supernatural forces and expose secret government exploits. As they search for answers, the children unravel a series of extraordinary mysteries. Not only does it feature an iconic synth score from Michael Stein & Kyle Dixon, but it is also famous for its exemplary use of needle-drops.

| 1:28.8 | nice to have the Duffer brothers, Matt and Ross, the guys who created this whole epic |
| 1:35.1 | Netflix sensation on the show to talk about it. You know, it's there, they've just entered its |
