T'was the holidays at Starbucks red aprons tied up, warm wishes and names written on festive red cups.

The chocolatey mousse latte is here to cozy things up, topped with mokker cream moose for a finishing touch.

Two lattes in hand, one for you and one for me, because together truly is the best place to be.

The holidays are served now at Starbucks.

Subject to availability while stocks last.

Welcome back to We Know Scripted TV where today we know Stranger Things, Season 5, Volume 1, I believe is the official title, the batch of episodes that dropped last week.

Stranger Things is finally here.

My name is Grace Leader, but of course, I am not alone.

Here with me, a member of the Hellfire

Club as well. It's Mike Bloom. How you doing, Mike? I am thrilled to be here, Grace, as someone

who covered stranger things in detail back when post-show recaps was a thing, RIP. I'm having to be

sort of like the proverbial max, as it were. And I won't go into further

details behind that until maybe a little bit of a chunk into this podcast. Yes. We, we,

Taryn and I did a tastemaker's pod today. And the title of the episode is,

Stranger Things Took Too Long, which I think we mean, it's been a long time coming. Like,

I think it, I guess it's been three and a bit, a bit, a bit, aish is a bit plus is year, uh, years, uh, years since the last season of Strangeloved. That feels like a long time. It feels like somehow like not that long, but also it's a long time since we've had Stranger Things on Netflix. How are you feeling just generally, Mike?

About stranger things?

I mean, yeah, I mean, I think that, listen, to your point about the amount of time

that has passed between seasons, nowhere is that more indicative than the lovely faces and

bodies of our strapping young lads at the center of this,

considering that like some of them are probably old enough to rent cars at this point.

Millie Bobby Bon Jovo,
