Stranger Things Full Reaction Watch Along: https://www.patreon.com/thereelrejects - Gift Someone (Or Yourself) A Stranger Things RR Tee! https://shorturl.at/hekk2 Vecna: The Mind Slayer tee by @G9DESIGN & Dr. Stranger Things tee by @SASAMIIKU — perfect for hardcore fans & collectors alike - STRANGER THINGS 5, Ep 5 & 6 REACTION: https://youtu.be/_g0UPULg80A - ST5 Ep 1 & 2 REACTION: https://youtu.be/tJQrMHh5JPE - ST5 Ep 5x3 Reaction: https://youtu.be/6bHl8s4G2Ok - ST5 Ep 5x4 Reaction: https://youtu.be/oast_RW1OiI With Part 2 officially out on Netflix, Greg & John RETURN to continue their Stranger Things 5 Reaction, Recap, Commentary, Analysis, Breakdown, & Spoiler Review! Episode 7 opens with a major turning point: Max Mayfield (Sadie Sink – The Whale, Fear Street) wakes safely in the real world, while Holly Wheeler is revealed to be trapped inside the Abyss, a newly defined and far more dangerous dimension. Dustin Henderson (Gaten Matarazzo – Prank Encounters, Dear Evan Hansen) and Steve Harrington (Joe Keery – Free Guy, Fargo) rescue Nancy (Natalia Dyer – Yes, God, Yes) and Jonathan (Charlie Heaton – The New Mutants) just in time to witness Holly falling through the Upside Down — only for Henry Creel / Vecna (Jamie Campbell Bower – Sweeney Todd, Twilight) to telekinetically pull her back. As Erica Sinclair (Priah Ferguson – The Oath), Murray Bauman (Brett Gelman – Fleabag, The Other Guys), and Mr. Clarke (Randy Havens – Godzilla: King of the Monsters) reunite with the group, the threat escalates when Dr. Kay (Linda Hamilton – The Terminator, T2) orders Akers to hunt Eleven (Millie Bobby Brown – Enola Holmes, Godzilla: King of the Monsters). Dustin explains that the Abyss is a separate dimension entirely, while Max reveals Henry’s true goal: merging it with the real world to complete his plan. A desperate strategy forms when Hopper (David Harbour – Violent Night, Black Widow) and Steve propose drawing the dimensions closer so Eleven and Kali (Linnea Berthelsen – The Witcher) can confront Henry inside the Abyss while the others fight in the Upside Down. Kali delivers the episode’s most devastating revelation — that after killing Henry, she and Eleven must die so their powers can never be replicated again. In a deeply emotional moment, Will Byers (Noah Schnapp – Hubie Halloween) comes out as gay to the group, grounding the episode’s apocalyptic stakes in raw humanity. The episode ends on a chilling cliffhanger: as Murray drives most of the group back into the Upside Down, Holly awakens inside Henry’s house, is beaten after trying to warn the other children, and Derek stays silent to protect his family. Henry then links with all twelve children, placing them into trances as the final phase of his plan begins. #StrangerThings #React #StrangerThings5 #StrangerThingsSeason5 #StrangerThings5Part2 #TheCrawl #TheVanishingOf #Netflix #UpsideDown #Vecna #Eleven #WillByers #Hawkins #FinalSeason #SciFiHorror #80sTV #TVReaction #TVReview #FinalSeason #StrangerThingsReaction #ReactTo #Binge #Bingeworthy Stranger Things 5, Ep 1 & 2 Tara & Andrew's Reaction: https://youtu.be/T9GPwZJjcpI Stranger Things 5, Ep 3 & 4 Tara & Andrew's Reaction: https://youtu.be/xAUAK2gECzE 0:00 Checking In! 1:50 Stranger Things 5x7 Reaction 38:49 Stranger Things 5 Review Follow *Greg Alba* https://www.instagram.com/thegregalba/ https://twitter.com/thegregalba 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: https://www.instagram.com/reelrejects/ https://www.tiktok.com/@thereelrejects?lang=en https://twitter.com/thereelrejects 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!! - https://open.spotify.com/show/3XHMwbveiznxSOGxN9XT0M - https://podcasts.google.com/feed/aHR0cHM6Ly9mZWVkcy5tZWdhcGhvbmUuZm0vc3Rhci13YXJzLXRhbGs - https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-reel-rejects-tv-movie-recaps/id1616339990 - https://www.audible.com/pd/The-Apocalypse-Podcast/B08JJP58FG

I feel people don’t talk enough about Caleb’s acting. Not only in this scene but also S4 when he thought Max died and screamed Erica Help. He is incredible and truly poured his heart out. I feel it’s because Caleb doesn’t care how he looks like and just cries his heart out. He and Sadie act with such sincerity.

*”It turns out, that the whole time, I didn’t even need it. I just needed you.”* And with just 2 minutes flat, this episode now has the record for fastest I have cried from the moment an episode starts. And not just crying, but absolutely bawling. Our Mad Max is BACK!😭😭😭😭

I have to say, I think Charlie's acting for Johnathan is the best it's been since S1. He hasn't had that much to do but in every scene I actually feel like he's putting in his all. Even when he's crying while watching Will come out, dude's killing it.

18:10 Last season; Henry's whole monologue to young Eleven after he killed everyone at the lab, is his motivation to create this new world.
