Scoops Ahoy: A Stranger Things Podcast

Whitney, Collin, and Doug wrap up their chit-chat about the new Netflix series 'The Boroughs' by discussing the erotic leanings of 'Alien', Tom Selleck's sexiness, and the confusion between Bruce Springsteen and Billy Joel. Oh, and also... bathtubs full of goo, why Sam glitched, and what the monsters did with the quartz. (Hey, if you know, you know.) So be charmingly patronizing, grab your Costco...

Whitney, Collin, and Doug move on from Stranger Things (kinda) with a look at the new Netflix series 'The Boroughs', executive produced by The Duffer Brothers. From the E.T. mom to monsters with too many legs to that touching Shawshank connection, we tackle everything in the first half of this decidedly Spielbergy new limited series. Grab your taxidermied owl and join us! Hosted by Simplecast, an...

Whitney, Doug, and Collin say goodbye to Hawkins in the last episode of ‘Scoops Ahoy’.

So, for the last time – ride your bike to Melvald’s, grab your nail-bat, fire up the Lite Brite, and join us. (And then stick around, bec...

Whitney, Collin, and Doug revisit the music that made Stranger Things great, with their list of the series’ best needle drops.

Fire up the turntable and join us! Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWi...

Whitney, Collin, and Doug present the final and definitive rankings of all 42 Stranger Things episodes, from ‘The Vanishing of Will Byers’ straight through to ‘The Rightside Up’.

Whitney, Doug, and Collin tie a ribbon on Season 5 of Stranger Things by picking their favorite episodes and their Superlatives for the season... and having a lengthy discussion about what went wrong (and plenty of things that went right).

Collin, Whitney, and Doug keep the Stranger Things fires burning with a discussion of the conspiracy theory that has failed to pan out (so far).

Grab your orange graduation gown and join us as we get to the bottom of Co...
