The boys are back in Hawkins.

In this very special return to our roots, Kit, Andy, and Steve launch the Streaming Things Stranger Things Rewatch—a hilarious journey back to where it all began. Longtime listeners will remember: this podcast was born from our obsession with Stranger Things. Now, as we gear up for the final season, we’re revisiting every single episode with fresh eyes, full hearts, and maybe even a few Chocolate Puddings.

Chapter One: The Vanishing of Will Byers kicks off the story in 1983 Hawkins, Indiana, where a young boy named Will disappears without a trace. As his friends search for him, they stumble upon a mysterious girl with a shaved head and supernatural powers.
