Summary
The series finale dropped and you had SO MUCH to say that we couldn't fit it all into one episode! "The Rightside Up" brought the Stranger Things saga to its emotional conclusion, and our inbox was STUFFED with your reactions and heartfelt messages about how this show impacted your lives. Hosts Darrell and Addi are dedicating this first of TWO listener feedback episodes to YOUR voices because the response was overwhelming. We're sharing your passionate commentary on the epic final battle in the Abyss, Holly's heroic leadership saving the kidnapped children, Vecna's tragic origin story and the revelation that he was corrupted by the Mind Flayer, Joyce's cathartic revenge with her axe, and that heart-shattering goodbye between El and Mike at the gate. Your insights on these moments were too powerful not to share.
