Hop on a bus, go find your lost sister, and then join us!

Collin and guest host Doug continue our Stranger Things Character Deep Dive series with the pride of the Hawkins High marching band, Robin Buckley.

Collin and Doug look at how Robin has shaped our favorite show and also talk about the first few Season 5 breadcrumbs from Netflix and the Duffers. Tell Petey McHew to suck it, and join us!
