Join Tara Erickson (The Rage Pod) & Andrew Gordon (Cinepals) as they dive into the first two episodes of Stranger Things Season 5 - Chapter One: “The Crawl” & Chapter Two: “The Vanishing of Holly Wheeler” kicking off the endgame with dread-soaked nostalgia and huge stakes. In Episode 1, the season opens by looping back to Will Byers’ original 1983 Upside Down ordeal, tying the finale-season mystery directly to the show’s roots. In the present timeline, the gang dodges the army to scout the Upside Down for Vecna — while a new threat creeps into Hawkins closer to home. Episode 2 leans into classic early-series vibes with a fresh disappearance-style mystery (mirroring the show’s “vanishing” tradition), as the Upside Down’s influence spreads and the clock toward full collapse keeps ticking. The core cast returns for the final fight: Millie Bobby Brown (Enola Holmes, Godzilla: King of the Monsters) as Eleven, forced back into hiding as the government intensifies its hunt.; Finn Wolfhard (IT, Ghostbusters: Afterlife) as Mike Wheeler; Noah Schnapp (Hubie Halloween, The Tutor) as Will Byers, whose link to the Upside Down becomes crucial again; Gaten Matarazzo (Prank Encounters, Dear Evan Hansen on Broadway) as Dustin Henderson; Caleb McLaughlin (Concrete Cowboy, High Flying Bird) as Lucas Sinclair; Sadie Sink (The Whale, Fear Street Part Two) as Max Mayfield (still at the center of Vecna’s fallout); Winona Ryder (Beetlejuice Beetlejuice, Edward Scissorhands) as Joyce Byers; David Harbour (Black Widow, Violent Night) as Jim Hopper; Natalia Dyer (Yes, God, Yes) as Nancy Wheeler; Joe Keery (Free Guy, Fargo) as Steve Harrington; & Maya Hawke (Do Revenge, Asteroid City) as Robin Buckley New Season-5 faces also start to matter fast, including Linda Hamilton (The Terminator, T2) as Dr. Kay, a formidable military scientist tied to the government’s Vecna/Eleven crackdown & Episode 1 introduces a spooky new “imaginary friend” threat aimed at the younger kids of Hawkins, setting up a major mystery thread for Volume 1. Standout moments in these premiere episodes include the haunting return to Will’s disappearance, the townwide quarantine panic, the crew’s risky hunt for Vecna, and the unsettling emergence of a new child-targeting Upside Down presence inside Hawkins. #StrangerThings #StrangerThings5 #StrangerThingsSeason5 #TheCrawl #TheVanishingOf #Netflix #UpsideDown #Vecna #Eleven #WillByers #Hawkins #FinalSeason #SciFiHorror #80sTV #TVReaction #TVReview #FinalSeason #StrangerThingsReaction #React #ReactTo #Binge #Bingeworthy 0:00 Checking In! 1:14 NEW STRANGER THINGS TEES! 1:47 Stranger Things 5x1 Reaction 40:16 PRIZE PICKS 41:38 Stranger Things 5x2 Reaction 1:08:35 Stranger Things 5 Review Intense Suspense by Audionautix is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 license. https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ RR Clips & Shorts Channel: https://www.youtube.com/@ReelRejectsClips Follow TheReelRejects On The Socials: IG: https://www.instagram.com/reelrejects/ TT: https://www.tiktok.com/@thereelrejects?lang=en TWITTER: https://twitter.com/thereelrejects FB: https://www.facebook.com/TheReelRejects/ Music Used In Ad: Hat the Jazz by Twin Musicom is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 license. https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ Happy Alley by Kevin MacLeod is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 license. https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ Head Editor: https://www.instagram.com/praperhq/?hl=en Supervising Producer: https://twitter.com/nerdchronic?lang=en Co-Editor: Greg Alba Co-Editor: John Humphrey Music In Video: Airport Lounge - Disco Ultralounge by Kevin MacLeod is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 license. https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ Follow & Listen to Us Wherever You Get Your Podcasts!! - Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/3XHMwbveiznxSOGxN9XT0M - Google Podcasts: https://podcasts.google.com/feed/aHR0cHM6Ly9mZWVkcy5tZWdhcGhvbmUuZm0vc3Rhci13YXJzLXRhbGs - Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-reel-rejects-tv-movie-recaps/id1616339990 - Audible: https://www.audible.com/pd/The-Apocalypse-Podcast/B08JJP58FG PLAYLISTS: Sketches & Short Films: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL-bIhJVeYWw_zWuTRfBOUP3aYyIYRzc2y
