Summary

The crew breaks down the conclusion of Stranger Things, agreeing that no matter how it ended, people were going to hate it anyway. From there, they zoom out and celebrate the fact that we’re living in a rare moment with a lot of genuinely good TV to watch, including Heated Rivalry on HBO. The conversation then takes a hard left into why bowling is way more complex than just throwing a ball down a lane, Jessica’s celebrity sightings on the streets of New York during break, Mike Fuentes reading headlines, and Cote finally revealing his closely guarded tuna fish recipe. It’s TV takes, niche passions, and unnecessary secrets — exactly how Mystery Crate should. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
