The 2010s saw the dawn of a new era of television storytelling.

Thanks to streaming services like Netflix, binge culture became more prominent than traditional

episodic storytelling. A television season would work almost as a ten-hour film,

shot on film budgets and starring a list film actors.

Maybe Will saw something that he shouldn't have.

In 2016, the Duffer Brothers made a high-end sci-fi horror TV show that tapped into the trend

of 80s nostalgia made popular by films like JJ Abrams Super 8. Creating a stylish blend

of John Carp into visuals, Stephen King World Building, and Lovecraftian Munsters,

this eight-hour television epic would become one of the biggest pop culture sensations of its generation.

Join me as we continue exploring the evolution of Alien horror and we discuss the groundbreaking

Netflix television show Stranger Things. Welcome back to the evolution of horror. My name is Mike

Munster and as ever, I am your host. If you're tuning in for the first time,

then welcome. In this podcast, we explore and dissect the history and the evolution of the horror

genre by looking at a particular sub-jummer as one series at a time. We are currently in the middle

of our seventh series exploring the evolution of Alien, sci-fi and cosmic horror, and this is part

26. This week's episode is sponsored by $20 Patreon subscriber Chris Downey, and in this week's

episode, as that intro suggested, we're going to be talking all things Stranger Things. Cannot

wait. I will say spoiler alert for Stranger Things. It's a very difficult show to talk about

without delving into plot specifics, so we do discuss plot points for all three seasons of

Stranger Things. So joining me to discuss Stranger Things, a longtime friend of the pod, he was

last here on our mind and body series discussing audition and old boy, and he's back. Welcome to

the podcast Tim Coleman. Hi Tim. Hello mate. How you doing? I am really good. Thanks. How are you?
