166 - Hawkins, IN: Home of the Sexuals

I Ship It

Mia returns for our first episode on opposite coasts (Omigod, guys. THE SADNESS.) to talk about some new MCU disappointment, history of the AIDS crisis, and Emily's new obsession: Stranger Things. Specifically how Stranger Things is getting their depiction of teenaged homosexuality in 1986 sadly, truly, right. Join us for some good ol' fashioned salt mining, giggling about the shared braincell of Steve and Robin's epic friendship, and a long and winding list of all the reasons Will Byers is too good for the world he inhabits.
