Description

WILL VS. VECNA!!! Stranger Things Full Reaction Watch Along: https://www.patreon.com/thereelrejects - Gift Someone (Or Yourself) A Stranger Things RR Tee! https://shorturl.at/hekk2 - STRANGER THINGS 5, Episode 1 & 2 REACTION: https://youtu.be/tJQrMHh5JPE - STRANGER THINGS 5, Episode 3 REACTION: https://youtu.be/6bHl8s4G2Ok Part 1 of the FINAL SEASON concludes as Greg & John return ONCE MORE for their Stranger Things 5 Reaction, Recap, Commentary, Analysis, Breakdown, & Spoiler Review! The Volume 1 finale of Netflix’s sci-fi horror juggernaut from the Duffer Brothers takes us back to Fall 1987, Hawkins is still under military quarantine after the Rifts tore open at the end of Season 4, and the Upside Down is spilling into reality as the crew races to locate Vecna before he strikes again. Greg Alba & John Humphrey dive into Chapter Four: “Sorcerer,” an episode the Duffers have described as one of the most massive, logistically insane chapters they’ve ever shot — “as big as any finale we’ve done.” With Hawkins collapsing under government control and the gang pushed to the edge, this episode accelerates the endgame and pays off long-teased threads from the very beginning of the series. The legendary ensemble returns including Millie Bobby Brown (Enola Holmes, Godzilla: King of the Monsters) as the fierce, determined Eleven; Finn Wolfhard (IT, Ghostbusters: Afterlife) as the good-hearted Mike Wheeler; Noah Schnapp (Hubie Halloween, The Tutor) as the wise Will Byers; Gaten Matarazzo (Les Misérables on Broadway, Prank Encounters) as tech-savvy Dustin Henderson; Caleb McLaughlin (Concrete Cowboy, High Flying Bird) as the ever-faithful Lucas Sinclair; Sadie Sink (The Whale, Fear Street Part Two) as the comatose Max Mayfield; Winona Ryder (Beetlejuice Beetlejuice, Edward Scissorhands) as protective mother Joyce Byers; David Harbour (Black Widow, Violent Night) as the hardened Jim Hopper; Natalia Dyer (Yes, God, Yes; Chestnut) as the tenacious Nancy Wheeler; Joe Keery (Free Guy, Fargo) as the lovable Steve Harrington, Jamie Campbell Bower (Sweeney Todd, Twilight) as Vecna, the looming mastermind of the Upside Down, & MORE! Iconic moments include the epic reveal that Will’s long-standing psychic link to Vecna manifests in terrifying new abilities, culminating in a desperate, power-charged rescue that redefines his role in the final season + the surprise return of Season 2's Kali aka 008! With the story circling back to Will’s original connection to the Upside Down and setting up the final two volumes, “Sorcerer” feels like a turning point for every major character — and a brutal reminder that Hawkins may not survive what’s coming. #StrangerThings #Netflix #Reaction#StrangerThings5 #StrangerThingsSeason5 #TheTurnbowTrap #UpsideDown #Vecna #Eleven #Hawkins #FinalSeason #SciFiHorror #80sTV #TVReaction #TVReview #StrangerThingsReaction #React #ReactTo #Binge #Bingeworthy IT: Welcome to Derry Episode 5 Reaction: https://youtu.be/bECeLWCiUzc Ghostbusters (1984) Movie Reaction: https://youtu.be/BxuSLFFRrQc Game of Thrones Season 2, Episode 7 & 8 Reaction: https://youtu.be/ytZmOckY5BY Follow GREG On INSTAGRAM & TWITTER: INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/thegregalba/ TWITTER: https://twitter.com/thegregalba 0:00 Checking In! 0:45 Stranger Things 5x4 Reaction 55:02 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

Will’s journey this whole show has been heartbreaking, but the scene when Robin basically tells him to not find the answers to his problems in other people, but find the strength to confront them himself, actually made me cry.
