Welcome to a podcast powered by curiosity, caffeine, and the occasional existential crisis. Most episodes are interviews with interesting people who teach me something new—sometimes surprising, sometimes profound, always human. Other times, it’s just me, thinking out loud about whatever’s been rattling around in my brain lately. It’s part conversation, part observation, and part “how did we end up here?” If you like honest chats, unexpected turns, and the feeling of learning something without realizing it, you’re in the right place. No niche—just stories, thoughts, and wondering out loud.
Episode Summary:Grab a brown blanket and a blueberry spinach smoothie—we’re officially one week into 2026! Today, Johnny and his ”extravagant” wife Alondra dive deep into the fallout of the Stranger Things season finale. *SPOILERS** Did Eleven really sacrifice herself, or are we all being gaslit by the Duffer Brothers?
We’re breaking down the ”Conformity Gate” theory: from the color-changing radio dials to the eerie orange graduation gowns and those suspicious blank signs. Is there a secret Episode 9 dropping, or are we just mourning the end of an era?
Plus, we look ahead at the massive 2026 film slate, discuss our 10th-year anniversary plans (Venice?!), and Truman drops in with a very specific warning for Aunt Krissy.
In this episode, we discuss:
New Year's Vibes: Why 2026 feels ”rough” but promising, and Alondra’s quest for guilt-free self-care.
Stranger Things Finale Spoilers: The ”Rightside Up,” Eleven’s fate, and why the ending felt a little too perfect.
Conformity Gate: Every clue pointing to a Vecna-induced illusion.
2026 Blockbusters: Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey, Robert Downey Jr. as Doctor Doom in Avengers: Doomsday, and the Michael Jackson biopic.
Nostalgia Trip: Why we miss the 2000s and who we’d actually invite to dinner (Shakespeare vs. Celine Dion).
