| 0:09.1 | Hello and welcome to My Mom's Basement, presented by Barstool Sports, |
| 0:12.5 | and a very special Stranger Things 5 edition of My Mom's Basement. Finally, the day has come. |
| 0:19.3 | We've spent the last month recapping stranger things season |
| 0:22.5 | one two three four and now we are here for season five clem how we doing doing good bob a lot of work |
| 0:31.8 | there a lot of work some people would say not really work just kind of play to get to this point |
| 0:35.8 | but i actually uh i'm kind of interested to see how we viewed the season, because we've kind of kept the chatter on a low, because we want to obviously get a lot of our thoughts fresh on the pod. But we also do have a different perspective than probably, I'd say the majority of the people. Would you say, how many people would you say, like what percent would you say did a full rewatch before the season? Because I'm sure there were plenty, but not a ton, right? No, low. It had to be super low, 25 percent maybe. That might even be high. I don't know. It's a long rewatch. It is, but it was worthy of the rewatch. Like going back, yeah, I mean, I'm sure you could hear it in our voices talking about the series throughout the last couple episodes. |
| 1:15.1 | It's so awesome. And it was definitely like going into season five, I was very thankful we did the rewatch. |
| 1:21.4 | Because they give you a little bit of a recap, but it's not, you know, it's not really worthy of the four seasons worth of material that that you could dive into. |
| 1:30.8 | Did you, did you say that at the Fox Thanksgiving table that you were thankful for the Stranger Things We watched? |
| 1:37.4 | I don't know if that was just a Freudian slip because that's been the word. |
| 1:40.6 | It was. Yeah, I didn't even mean to, yeah, yeah, yeah yeah i didn't even mean to grow that yeah but we did |
| 1:45.4 | talk a little stranger things at the fox thanksgiving because everyone has talked about it it's it's |
| 1:50.1 | kind of like a cultural moment when it comes back it always feels like it's the it's the talk of town |
| 1:55.5 | it's the the zeitgeist the the pop culture minute is all about stranger things right. I do think that the blueprint has been laid out. |
| 2:04.3 | And this is a little, it's a little special. |
| 2:07.3 | Obviously, it's an older series and they're going with the final season. |
| 2:11.3 | But I do, like I say this all the time, I like how we have those projects that will be like, |
| 2:16.3 | we'll take the Thanksgiving weekend or we'll |
| 2:18.1 | take the Christmas week into New Year's. I think more big brand should take a shot at something |
| 2:24.3 | like this because it's all everything everyone talks about during the lead up and into the weekend, |
