Stranger Things Character Deep Dive: Dustin Henderson

Collin and Doug continue the Top 5 series, ranking the best episodes of Stranger Things Season Four. From 'The Hellfire Club' straight through to 'The Piggyback', we each reveal our thoughts and then get into all the emails from our loyal listeners. Dear Billy, there's a lot to choose from, so rev up Katinka and join us!

Collin and guest host Doug continue the ‘Scoops Ahoy’ Influence series with a look at how 1980's 'The Empire Strikes Back' (and the Star Wars universe in general) helped shape Stranger Things. From force-pushing train cars to name-dropping Lando, there's so much to talk about that not even the Millennium Falcon could hold it all. Grab your trusty lightsaber, embrace the Dark Side, and join us!

Collin and guest host Doug continue our Stranger Things Character Deep Dive series with the centerpiece of the whole show: Jane “Eleven” Ives Hopper. She’s the driving force of everything – the kid (now, young woman) who can crush a Coke can, build a killer diorama, and force-push a baddie like no one’s business. Collin and Doug look at how El has shaped our favorite show, and then they share listener emails, so leave that helicopter alone and join us!

Collin is joined by special Scooper guest co-host Doug, as we continue the Top 5 series with a SUPER-sized look at the most memorable moments from seasons 1 through 4 of Stranger Things. From Steve's killer bat flip to Max running up that hill to Eddie shredding Metallica, we each reveal our thoughts and then dig into listener emails! Plus, of course, we talk all about that oh-so-awesome Season 5 first-look video!! Grab your alphabet Christmas lights and join us!  **Apologies for the lousy audio. Turns out you need to plug your microphone in to have it work. Who knew?**

Collin continues the ‘Scoops Ahoy’ Influence series with a look at how 2011's 'Super 8' helped shape Stranger Things. From a band of young kids fighting a monster to a terrifying scene on a bus to nostalgic moments of late 70s/early 80s goodness, he chats about it all and also mourns the loss of a beloved Stranger Things filming location. Say goodbye to Hawkins High and join us!

Collin (flying solo this time!) continues the Stranger Things Character Deep Dive series with the oh-so-loveable Dusty-bun — the kid with all the answers and a killer sense of humor... though admittedly questionable judgment in picking pets. Collin looks at how Dustin has evolved over four seasons and how he makes Stranger Things the little bit of awesome that it is. Offer up your best lightsaber handshake and join us!

Whitney and Collin continue their Top 5 series with a look at the Top 3 (because we still can't count!) episodes of Stranger Things Season Three. From 'Suzie, Do You Copy?' straight through to 'The Battle of Starcourt', we each reveal our thoughts and then launch into listener emails for their opinion! Plus, we talk about the latest little bundle of ditties from our beloved Taylor Swift! Join us!

Whitney and Collin continue their trek through the Deep Dark Void by hosting another Zoom call with some of our trusty Scoopers! We talk about everything from Will's new haircut to the latest projects from our favorite Stranger Things alums to some crazy Season 5 theories! Grab a couple boxes of Eggos and join us! Our next episode is April 25, as we rank the top episodes from Season 3! Get your emails to us by April 21!

Whitney and Collin continue their Influence series with a look at how the works of Stephen King helped shape Stranger Things. From train tracks to telekinetic kids to 'The Talisman', we chat about it all. Grab your copy of that book about the nasty mutt and join us!

Whitney and Collin are back with another Stranger Things Deep Dive, taking a look at the 'Montauk' show bible, which the Duffers created to pitch their idea for this cool new show way back when. We also go through their original pilot script and chat about what changed in the journey from page to screen. (Picture Mr. Clarke as Indiana Jones!) Join us!
