The first season of Stranger Things was an absolute phenomenon that took the world by storm. Now, 15 months later we return to Hawkins for Stranger Things 2.

The Duffer Brothers have brought back all of their key players, but they have made the bold choice to take the story in new directions and not simply duplicate the success of the first season.

What the Duffers have done with Stranger Things 2 is incredible. This show succeeds not because of its nostalgia, rather the incredible execution of the dramatic moments. 

In this podcast we discuss our thoughts on Stranger Things 2 including all of the different references we spotted to other films. We also put the "derivative" criticism to bed once and for all.

The next stop in our Star Wars Revisited series is the final film of the original trilogy, Return of the Jedi. While many in the fandom regard this as the weakest of the original films, we found that there are a lot of high points. This is particularly true of the opening act on Tattooine and the unrestrained creativity of the creatures.

This is a film with some ups and downs, and some cringe worthy additions that have been made over the years. In this podcast we discuss our thoughts on Star Wars Episode VI: Return of the Jedi after viewing with fresh eyes. Spoiler alert...we still have no idea what Luke's plan was to free Han.

It’s very easy to be cynical about all of the sequels remakes and reboots that of been flooding cinemas over the past several years. However with Blade Runner 2049 there is nothing to be cynical about.

This sequel to the Ridley Scott sci-fi neo-noir classic is an excellent film. Blade Runner 2049 is directed by Denis Villenueve who recently brought us Arrival and Sicario. It’s a film that explores themes of authenticity and our desire to live lives of significance and rise above the mundane. It’s story is moving and it’s aesthetic is astounding.

Here is our podcast review of Blade Runner 2049. Please let us know your thoughts on Facebook and Twitter @nerdflixchill

With Game of Thrones Season 8 in the pre-production stage, we are getting our first set of news stories regarding the final season.

Season 8 will also bring the return of Miguel Sapochnik and David Nutter as directors for 5 of the episodes with the finale to be direct by the DDs. These directors will be working with a massive budget of $15 million per episode! That's a lot of dragons.

Finally, we have some Game of Thrones spinoff news from GRRM.
