    Oi oi, welcome to Episode 131 of Stacey's Pop Culture Parlour! This month I'm joined by my good buddy and co-host of Podcast In A Half Shell, Duncan! We recorded this on a 35 degree day, and hoo boy does it show... It's still good though; we're talking Young Rock, Stranger Things, The Black Phone, The Orville and more, as we steadily melt... Enjoy! Apologies to all for the issues with sound quality in the first half hour of this episode; the laptop I was using had a bit of a meltdown, but I think it's still listenable, and once we switch lappies the sound is way better, but still, sorry about that.
