Filmmakers, we have the creators of the biggest show on the planet. The masterminds who took 80s nostalgia, Dungeons & Dragons, and a group of kids on bikes, and turned it into a global empire. I am talking, of course, about Matt and Ross Duffer—The Duffer Brothers! Now, you know them as the creators of Stranger Things, the show that literally breaks the internet every time a new season drops. But what we love about this conversation is that we go right back to the start. We talk about their 2015 low-budget horror thriller, Hidden—a film that got caught in studio limbo but taught them the vital lessons of directing and how they pitched Stranger Things around various studios and TV execs getting rejections along the way. We dive into how they work as a duo, how they pitch to networks (and deal with rejection!), and the absolute mountain of work it takes to land the final season of the most popular show in the world. From the Upside Down to the top of Hollywood, this is a masterclass in long-form storytelling and sticking to your vision. Grab your Eggos and turn up the volume. Let's welcome...

The Volume 1 finale of Netflix's sci-fi horror juggernaut from the Duffer Brothers takes us back to Fall 1987, Hawkins is still under military quarantine after the Rifts tore open at the end of Season 4, and the Upside Down is spilling into reality as the crew races to locate Vecna before he strikes again. Greg Alba & John Humphrey dive into Chapter Four: “Sorcerer,” an episode the Duffers have described as one of the most massive, logistically insane chapters they've ever shot — “as big as any finale we've done.” The legendary ensemble returns including Millie Bobby Brown (Enola Holmes, Godzilla: King of the Monsters) as the fierce, determined Eleven; Finn Wolfhard (IT, Ghostbusters: Afterlife) as the good-hearted Mike Wheeler; Noah Schnapp (Hubie Halloween, The Tutor) as the wise Will Byers; Gaten Matarazzo (Les Misérables on Broadway, Prank Encounters) as tech-savvy Dustin Henderson; Caleb McLaughlin (Concrete Cowboy, High Flying Bird) as the ever-faithful Lucas Sinclair; Sadie Sink (The Whale, Fear Street Part Two) as the comatose Max Mayfield; Winona Ryder (Beetlejuice Beetlejuice, Edward Scissorhands) as protective mother Joyce Byers; David Harbour (Black Widow, Violent Night) as the hardened Jim Hopper; Natalia Dyer (Yes, God, Yes; Chestnut) as the tenacious Nancy Wheeler; Joe Keery (Free Guy, Fargo) as the lovable Steve Harrington, Jamie Campbell Bower (Sweeney Todd, Twilight) as Vecna, the looming mastermind of the Upside Down, & MORE! Iconic moments include the epic reveal that Will's long-standing psychic link to Vecna manifests in terrifying new abilities, culminating in a desperate, power-charged rescue that redefines his role in the final season + the surprise return of Season 2's Kali aka 008! With the story circling back to Will's original connection to the Upside Down and setting up the final two volumes, “Sorcerer” feels like a turning point for every major character — and a brutal reminder that Hawkins may not survive what's coming.

Today, on The Goggler Podcast, Bahir and Uma watch and review the first four episodes of the final season of Stranger Things. The first part of Stranger Things, Season 5 is now streaming on Netflix. The fall of 1987. Hawkins is scarred by the opening of the Rifts, and our heroes are united by a single goal: find and kill Vecna. But he has vanished — his whereabouts and plans unknown. Complicating their mission, the government has placed the town under military quarantine and intensified its hunt for Eleven, forcing her back into hiding. As the anniversary of Will's disappearance approaches, so does a heavy, familiar dread. The final battle is looming — and with it, a darkness more powerful and more deadly than anything they've faced before. To end this nightmare, they'll need everyone — the full party — standing together, one last time. Stranger Things was created by The Duffer Brothers and stars Winona Ryder, David Harbour, Millie Bobby Brown, Finn Wolfhard, Gaten Matarazzo, Caleb McLaughlin, Noah Schnapp, Sadie Sink, Natalia Dyer, Charlie Heaton, Joe Keery, Maya Hawke, Priah Ferguson, Brett Gelman, Jamie Campbell Bower, Cara Buono, Nell Fisher, and Linda Hamilton.

The Volume 1 finale of Netflix's sci-fi horror juggernaut from the Duffer Brothers takes us back to Fall 1987, Hawkins is still under military quarantine after the Rifts tore open at the end of Season 4, and the Upside Down is spilling into reality as the crew races to locate Vecna before he strikes again. Greg Alba & John Humphrey dive into Chapter Four: “Sorcerer,” an episode the Duffers have described as one of the most massive, logistically insane chapters they've ever shot — “as big as any finale we've done.” The legendary ensemble returns including Millie Bobby Brown (Enola Holmes, Godzilla: King of the Monsters) as the fierce, determined Eleven; Finn Wolfhard (IT, Ghostbusters: Afterlife) as the good-hearted Mike Wheeler; Noah Schnapp (Hubie Halloween, The Tutor) as the wise Will Byers; Gaten Matarazzo (Les Misérables on Broadway, Prank Encounters) as tech-savvy Dustin Henderson; Caleb McLaughlin (Concrete Cowboy, High Flying Bird) as the ever-faithful Lucas Sinclair; Sadie Sink (The Whale, Fear Street Part Two) as the comatose Max Mayfield; Winona Ryder (Beetlejuice Beetlejuice, Edward Scissorhands) as protective mother Joyce Byers; David Harbour (Black Widow, Violent Night) as the hardened Jim Hopper; Natalia Dyer (Yes, God, Yes; Chestnut) as the tenacious Nancy Wheeler; Joe Keery (Free Guy, Fargo) as the lovable Steve Harrington, Jamie Campbell Bower (Sweeney Todd, Twilight) as Vecna, the looming mastermind of the Upside Down, & MORE! Iconic moments include the epic reveal that Will's long-standing psychic link to Vecna manifests in terrifying new abilities, culminating in a desperate, power-charged rescue that redefines his role in the final season + the surprise return of Season 2's Kali aka 008! With the story circling back to Will's original connection to the Upside Down and setting up the final two volumes, “Sorcerer” feels like a turning point for every major character — and a brutal reminder that Hawkins may not survive what's coming.

What is up, Hellfire Club, I mean, Slackers?This week is all about Thanksgiving and Stranger Things 5. I'm giving thanks (even though some days it's been tough to find my gratitude) and laying out my final predictions for the season. More specifically, who's who in the ST dead pool. The Duffer Brothers keep saying they channeled the spirit of series finales that actually left us satisfied. And Return of the King. Weird, right?I believe them, but with stakes this high, not everyone's walking out of Hawkins alive. My quick, gut-level, not-exactly-bold picks:Robin? Safe.Dustin? Safe.Steve? Eleven? I'm not so sure.And what about Murray!?This show is set right in the years I was in middle school, so it's always felt lived-in for me and the Mrs. Watching our own kids get just as hooked as we were on Nightmare on Elm Street or any John Hughes movie—that's the real magic. Truly cross-generational.There are only a handful of shows that have ever really made me feel excited and nervous for the fate of fictional characters. Great art can do that to ya.Happy Thanksgiving, Slackers. Please, pass the pumpkin pie (the only pie that matters).

James Gunn Says No Darkseid For DCU, Elizabeth Olsen on MCU Return, Stranger Things Finale to Hit Big Screens

Welcome to Multiverse News, Your source for Information about all your favorite fictional universesDuring a recent round of interviews with various comic-centric YouTube channels last week, James Gunn seemingly revealed that despite rampant speculation, his DCU is not building toward the character of Darkseid as a “big bad”. As to why he's not pursuing what many fans might argue is the obvious direction for the studio, he cited the efforts of the comic book cinematic universes that paved the way for his own, saying, "Using Darkseid as the big bad now is not necessarily the thing... because Zack did it so cool in his way and because of Thanos and Marvel." Gunn expanded his thoughts on both, acknowledging some of the shortcomings of the DCEU and detailing how similar Thanos and Darkseid are that it wouldn't feel fresh for audiences. While Marvel has yet to confirm the much-discussed Scarlet Witch's return to the MCU, in a new interview with beauty, fashion and pop culture outlet InStyle, Elizabeth Olsen reiterated that she's ready to step back into the role. "It's ridiculous," she said of making MCU movies. "We're grown people behaving like children on a playground. We're flying. We're shooting things out of our hands. And it's a character that I've gotten to return to so many times over 10 years. It's good to put her down and then I miss her, and I want her back. I'd jump at the opportunity to be in her shoes again." Last week, Netflix revealed its plans to release the feature-length finale of Stranger Things' final season in theaters, reversing course after the streamer had previously rejected the Duffer Brothers' theatrical release pitch. Theaters will screen the finale starting Dec. 31 at 5 p.m. PT — coinciding with its global Netflix debut — and continuing through Jan. 1, 2026. Disney+ will begin streaming The Fantastic Four: First Steps on Nov. 5, following the film's $521 million worldwide box office haul over the summer.Over the weekend, Sony's Crunchyroll released Chainsaw Man – The Movie, which topped the domestic box office with $17.2 million and reached $108 million globally. Black Phone 2 continued its solid run, surpassing $80 million worldwide. Regretting You debuted in third place with a better-than-expected $22.9 million, while the Bruce Springsteen biopic Deliver Me From Nowhere disappointed with $16.1 million in its opening weekend.Paramount Pictures is finalizing a deal to acquire Ti West's adaptation of Charles Dickens' A Christmas Carol, with Johnny Depp set to play Ebenezer Scrooge. The film will release on November 13, 2026.Michael B.

Production is expected to begin early next year.IMAX has unveiled its planned releases for 2026 at an Investor Presentation and at this moment, Spider-Man Brand New Day is not included in the lineup. The film will be released on July 31, which means it's debuting right in the middle of a pretty crowded IMAX season: the live-action Moana and The Odyssey are arriving on July 10 and July 17, respectively.Disney has officially exited its partnership with the BBC on Doctor Who after two years.
