John and Craig dive into Netflix’s Stranger Things, discussing how macro writing decisions contributed to the show’s success. (There are inevitably some spoilers, so if you haven't seen it yet, you can skip from the start of that segment to the next one, which begins at 41:22.) We also look at the upcoming WGA election and the candidates. Next week, we will be doing a new installment of How Would This Be a Movie, so follow the links below to read ahead. SPOILER ALERT: If you’re still to watch Stranger Things, skip CHAPTER SIX (15:13 to 41:22).
