STORM OF SPOILERS TOUR: Nostalgia with Stranger Things
A GAME OF THRONES PODCAST THAT IS TALKING ABOUT OTHER GREAT POP CULTURE DURING THE OFF SEASON
With Joanna Robinson from Vanity Fair, Dave Gonzales from Geek.com and Neil Miller from Film School Rejects!
It's the sixth off season tour episode of A STORM OF SPOILERS! This week, our hosts travel back into their own pasts to see how it stacks up against Netflix's Sci-Fi/Horror/80s series Stranger Things. They all have thoughts on how successful this "homage" to the 1980s is and – of course – some crazy crackpot theories about what happened and what WILL (pun intended) happen next season. Joanna and Neil also loop in the new Pete's Dragon movie and Brain K. Vaughn's comic book series Paper Girls to talk about successfully mining a bygone period for fun (or touching) pop culture. THIS WEEK'S TIMECODES:
0:00:00 – Intro, Game of Thrones News 0:10:23 – Nostalgia with Stranger Things, Pete's Dragon and Paper Girls 1:15:12 – Laika Preview!

This week's closing track:
131 – White Guys, Then Children’s Movies
Plus a "bad" mini segment
This week, Patches, Joanna, David and Da7e debate how much they can hold Stephen Colbert responsible for apologizing to Donald Trump on the Late Show last year, only to use him as a target for ridicule to boost his ratings now. Then, David wants everyone to pick a single "best living director" for a mini segment, then with Pete's Dragon coming out this week and garnaring some good reviews, we ponder the state of Children's/Family films in a year of talking animal overload.
