Dad: So if you're friends jump off a cliff you would to? Mike: Well actually dad, I did jump off a cliff, would have fallen to my death actually, but my friend Eleven caught me with her psychic powers.

"Are you..part of the group now? Our party has a lot of lore." 🤣🤣🤣

[@finnickodair5544]

Fun fact: I actually live in the town where a lot of this show is filmed. Every November we have a block party where the Arcade was filmed and in the Autumn Hopper’s Cabin is turned into an escape room. In fact, the pumpkin farm is actually on the same land as the cabin. Sleepy Hollow Pumpkin Farm is the name of it. Also, I live beside Benny’s Burgers and got to see some filming for Season 4. I’ve also visited the location of Joyce and Will’s house, it’s a very run down house but very cool to visit. So excited to watch you enjoy the show because it only gets crazier from here. Lots of other filming locations here in the Atlanta area but I won’t spoil it for you!

[@tjg813]

I lived in Perry for a while. It must have been miserable for the cast filming winter scenes in GA humidity. Didn’t they film in summer?

[@finnickodair5544]

@@tjg813 well for season 4 they filmed in October season so actually it was nice weather, but Season 3 was filmed during April and May and it can get warm but it really doesn’t get too humid until June, July, and August. I think they are or have been filming for the final season these past few weeks and it’s been extremely humid and hot weather.

[@isabellacam4775]

Wow that's so cool!

[@wolfywox]

I mentioned this in the last video, but I drove by Hawkins Lab and had no idea it was there until I spotted it out of the window. The shivers that ran down my spine 😅

[@Shae29]

Ah that’s so awesome to hear!! ❤

[@gazelleluna8191]

The book Hopper was reading Eleven is Anne of Green Gables. It's the same book he was reading his daughter Sarah in the hospital. It's actually a great story. Oh how it would be a dream to see you react to the show version of that story, Anne with an E 💖✨🥺🥹 Apparently the Stranger Things creators are also fans of Anne.

[@lyds6382]

Dacre Montgomery is Australian! He plays Billy. 😊

[@AmyL._orcgirl]

I was hoping he'd point out the Australian connection. I'm glad someone else did😊

[@dfunkt2291]

He was a power ranger apparently,... and he's so hot I would've crushed on him hard in the 80s... Actually crushing on him right now tbh... Beautiful man. Fellow Aussie! You can hear his accent slip occasionally, but those hard r's are tough for us, and he does very well.

[@RhamanaChan]

"It's nice to see that she's happy" 😭

[@_carrot__cake_]

I’m always surprised to see Max first appear in season 2 bc she’s such an integral part of the show to me now

[@michelle1794]

I wish you'd been there when the trailer for this season came out. It was something else. The Halloween vibes, the Thriller audio. It was iconic and we were so hyped lmao I miss those times

[@Flirtz420]

I thought we were gonna get a break until we restarted. Good to know ur hooked on this show Lol

[@SubKween]

Sean Astin was one of my first celebrity crushes as a kid. He might be most known as Samwise but to me he is Mikey from The Goonies. If you've never watched that you should react to it. I saw it twice in a row in the theater.😅 It also stars young Josh Brolin and Ke Huy Quan.

[@JulieConkle]

I just watched The Goonies again last week. I love that movie.

[@paulcurran4786]

My favourite movie of his is one of his lesser known films called Harrison Bergeron. Last i checked it was free to watch here on utube, if u haven't seen it.

[@dioneberts1715]

Encino man was a favorite of mine . Oh yeah, and we can't forget about "Rudy"

[@keyblademasterclark]

Ever since Mike and Will had that talk in episode 2 I've always thought Will had feelings for Mike

[@CeliannaNami]

Max and Murray join the gang! This show always does such a good job at introducing characters that later on become really important. Also, due to fans liking Barbara a lot in the first season, the show creators were pressured to address her death, hence season 2. 15:02 yeah, it does say a lot. Max's relationship with Billy is complicated. Always excited to see these uploaded! You're a great reactor and pick up a ton of details.

[@StephenRansom47]

56:33 😌 Joyce Byers is the most awesome MOM ever realized on screen. So passionately creative, she defines MAMMA BEAR.

[@cloudwatcher608]

As a parent, I honestly respect Joyce for letting Will go out without her. I think kids these days are overly supervised and aren't allowed to have the freedom to explore and assess risk for themselves, but after the events of season 1 I would probably never let my kid out of my sight again lol

[@Cassxowary]

right, parents are complaining the world is too dangerous and also that their kids are always on their phones… and probably don’t even provide them with books to read or art supplies or anything

[@BeS1228]

This is when the parallels start, and once you noticed them you can't unotice lmao. There are scenes between people that connect directly to other characters and its one my favorite aspects of the show because it tells us where the story is going. I won't say more so I don't spoil anything but im looking to forward to seeing your journey

[@keyblademasterclark]

THIS IS THE SEASON OF STEVE

[@davidgray5513]

Bob and Hopper are the good cop bad cop of dad figures. Lmao.

[@TKHaines]

People say things when they're drunk, but it's usually things they mean and are just avoiding saying when they're sober.

[@luiscalzoncit2820]

That's absolutely not true. I am a recovering alcoholic. And the mean and awful things I said or did during those moments were a response of what was happening in that moment. You cannot think or remember from your past hour, least your experience in life. Drunks are animals that respond to their environment.

[@TKHaines]

@@luiscalzoncit2820 Alcohol just removes filters. In those moments that was what you thought and did. Just because you would have controlled yourself better without the drink doesn't change that.

[@luiscalzoncit2820]

@@TKHaines not at all. Alcohol blurs your mind, everything you say or do under the influence of alcohol is not premeditated, it is just something you do because it happened..

[@nightfrost1891]

depends on the person but in the case of nancy, i think it's true and steve shouldn't have left her black out drunk she could have been taken advantage of if Jonathan wasn't there

[@revangerang]

@@nightfrost1891 Steve specifically asked Jonathan to look after her, he didn't just leave her there.

Here we go!!! I love Max so much, she's my favorite character in the entire show, so I'm excited to see your reactions to her going forward!

[@juliant]

Will has become the flea. Capable of crossing to the upsidedown.

[@dodogamabro2975]

It’s more like he’s adopted True Sight. He can peer into the Upside Down, but can’t interact with anything there.

[@juliant]

@@dodogamabro2975 and yet he was possessed by the mindflayer in the upside down whilst standing in a field in the real world... I would count that as interacting.

[@dodogamabro2975]

@@juliant Not really, the Mind Flayer felt his presence in the Upside Down. It was infecting his mind, which was in the Upside Down, rather than his physical body which it got control of later on after the infection spread to his central nervous system.

(I’m not trying to sound rude, I am genuinely curious about your opinion) Edit: I’ll respect your boundaries, if you do not want to discuss it further tonight, I understand. We could pick it up tomorrow if that is alright with you?

[@samiam5859]

24:30 I think you are forgetting a little bit of information here that she is the one created the actual portal in the first place. This gave the ability to the monster to create temporary portals since there is already a tear in space and time. She is the original “FLEA” who was able to travel dimensions to open gates. Now El, the monsters and Will are the fleas who can travel up and down as well.

[@thecocoacouch]

I did mean make them at will but yeah I wasn’t clear.

[@samiam5859]

@@thecocoacouch Omg, that's a fast reply, I'm still watching this video 😅. Yes, I would just say that characters with superpowers usually get stronger every season in all kinds of shows so I understand your question :)

[@thecocoacouch]

😆 yeah I was a bit bummed at first she gets drained so easily but even now she can kinda fix a lot of problems with how limited her abilities are. It’s good they started weak and like you say, get stronger.

[@MrGala0apples]

Yeah, Steve and Nancy and Jonathan just all want different things, but there’s no bad guys. I’m glad that you already want more Steve. You’re one of only a few reactors that haven’t immediately gotten super suspicious about Bob, and I appreciate your appreciation for a genuinely pleasant man.

[@jaspyr88]

Did you notice the scientist that Hooper yells at is played by Paul Reiser! Same actor who played Burke in Aliens!!

[@jackpassananti3300]

your Stranget Things videos are a bright spot on the internet

[@tjnguyen8546]

Fun fact: one of the many bases for Hawkins (set in the fictional Roane County, Indiana) is Oak Ridge (in Roane County, Tennessee), one of the primary sites in the U.S. that established nuclear technology in World War II. And, if I'm not mistaken, that map Hopper is drawing on is a map of an area around one of the labs in Oak Ridge.

[@Tea22112]

Yeah, they said the lab was very secretive and there were lots of rumors! At least that’s what I heard.

[@AmyL._orcgirl]

The Duffer brothers grew up in the same area I did. They reference a lot of places, roads and lakes in Durham, NC. When the kids go trick or treating, the neighborhood they go to was a newish subdivision in the 1980s.

[@XOXheartErin]

I always love the IT reference with Mr Boldo, gives me the chills that IT and The Upsidedown are in the same universe

[@potter286]

Bob used to live in Maine, where IT takes place. He lived there during the time where the original book takes place. 1950s. I fully believe Bob was a victim of IT but he survived because he stood his ground and didn't believe in Pennywise anymore. Just like Bev. He sees it as a dream now because many people who grow up who used to live there or are still living there see what they experienced as a dream or a nightmare. Only the kids see it as not because Pennywise targets them.

[@StephenRansom47]

38:41 🤔 scared into the upside down … I think we can say that Fear is a driving force in the narrative. Eleven’s fear opened the gate on First Contact. Reason is blurred by Fear.

[@JulieConkle]

That basket where Billy puts the ball under his leg and makes the basket really happened, they even caught his look like, did you see that?

You mentioned Steve and the "mean shirtless guy's" age. Who's name is Billy, btw. Basically, discussing how old they look... The irony is that Steve (Joe Kerry) is actually about 3 years OLDER than Billy (Dacre Montgomery). Dacre was roughly 22 years old when season 2 was filmed. Joe was about 25. But I totally agree that Dacre looks older than Joe. Maybe it's the hair?! Also, the actor who plays Will (Noah Schnapp) acts his heart out this season!!! He was hardly in season 1, bc he was missing and the main 3 boys with El were the focus of the younger cast. Will (Noah) totally crushed it this season!! He's such an amazing actor! He's both gentle, intense, creepy, and strong all at the same time!! This was his season to shine, and I've loved it! You mentioned Steve and the "mean shirtless guy's" age. Who's name is Billy, btw.

I'm sure people said it, but the Doctor who checks on Will played Burke on Aliens. I didn't recognize him at first. I love the dance scene between Joyce and Bob while he wears a Dracula costume. Such a cool reference to Bram Stoker's Dracula in which, btw she plays Mina and dances with Dracula (Gary Oldman).

Funny how the doctor is from Aliens. He was the one who played Burk. But now after all these years but now he's the good guy.

Most of the fandom seem to think s2 is the weakest, but it’s my favourite season. I still think it has the best finale episode.

[@catgro9901]

54:44 actually Jonathan was lying about Steve asking him to drive Nancy home. He was trying to make her feel better about the situation and encourage her to continue to perceive Steve in a positive light, when in reality Steve really did just walk out of the party

[@serenitytoepper]

Billy's issues run deep and for someone to be that mad. Normally only means one thing. Any teenager or kid that display anger like that has either grown up in an abusive home or with a bad parent. But sometimes there are people who are psycho level of creeps but normally for kids. Or teenagers, I think Billy has a lot of inner demons and he's angry.

I'm currently going through my own rewatch of the show for the upteenth time! Started season four and its crazy watching you on season 2 and just reminiscing back on it all myself though i had just watched the season like two weeks ago lol! Season 2 was made with the intent with making a spin off I believe btw! I’m not sure why it never happened.

[@TheRepublican777]

Nancy is blaming her and Steve because she dragged Barbra to his party and she ditched Barb to sleep with Steve and now they are at anothwr party because Steve wanted to go there and try to act normal and all she can do is feel guilty about Barb and her parents not knowing the truth

So the correct answer for the whole "If your friends jumped off a bridge/cliff would you follow them?" is... "with the right equipment... Yes.". Man Love this season. so much range from the actors. And Gaton(Dustin) looks a bunch like Eddie Van Halen. And I also never got to go trick or treating even though it was the 80s...My parents were super church people and didnt believe in it. But Now I go... With my 5 year old. LOL And in Hopps defense. He is the father figure and not a friend. with age come knowledge.
