I know everone says how amazing actors the kids are in this, and they totally are, but can we please give a hell yeah to winona ryder, she plays the distraught out of her mind mom so well !!
It makes sense for eleven to get nosebleed (and bloody ears) if you think about it. One of the main symptoms of a TBI is bleeding from the ears nose and mouth. She’s constantly causing massive strain on her brain when she does it.
The science teacher reminds me of my 9th grade General Science teacher, Mr Schultz. He was awesome and probably my favorite Jr High School teacher. Also, another awesome hoodie, Sam. Love it! 😄 I loved that they name dropped Carl Sagan in this. I've been studying and researching Astronomy, Astrophysics, Cosmology, and Quantum Mechanics since I was 8-9 years old.
Stranger Things, although it did use some real D&D references, The Vale of Shadows was something the creators of the show invented. I don't play D&D, although my son does.
"I think she can do better" re: Steve and Nancy and I am now doing everything in my power to suppress comment for sake of preserving you from spoilers in seasons ahead.
Me watching Hopper in his first few scenes: "Can we hurry up and kill this douchebag?" Me watching Hopper in the 5th episode: "I swear to God, if they kill off Hopper I will burn Netflix to the ground!" Such great character writing in this series.
At last ive been waiting for you guys to continue my fave show ❤ The best description of Stranger Things i ever heard was the adults are in a Stephen King novel, the teenagers are in a John Carpenter film and the kids are in a Steven Spielberg movie.
You describing the tree portal just reminds me that when Blind Wave did their reaction to this show, they called the main portal the "Interdimensional Vagina"... I also love someone describing Season 1 Steve as a "Dumb Sweet Boy" lol
I do play D&D, it might of been called the Vale of Shadows in first edition DnD, but I think it refers to the Shadowfell (aka Plane of Shadow, Demi plane of shadow, Shadowland, Shadow or Shadow Deep).
I just cannot get over the set up-pay off of Hopper and one of the other cops in an early episode (maybe even episode 1? Can't remember for sure) at that cliff, and Hopper explains that jumping off will kill you bc at that height water is like concrete. Then this episode, Mike jumps to his death for his friends (though none of them seem to know that bit)
Been binging your reactions to this show after a hard night shift in the emergency room. Thank you for the laughter!! Also, Sam, I hate to say it but some of your questions will not be answered for a *while*
The Vale of Shadows is just a name of a valley taken from the Forgotten Realms canon; the Upside-down is very similar to the Shadowfell, a parallel dimension of death and shadow. So yes, they definitely took the idea from D&D. Be prepared for a lot of that in this show ;)
There is nothing more satisfying than watching a skeptical fictional character realize that the other "crazy" character was right all along. I feel like the entirety of The X-Files was based on this premise. 😂
I'm a year late here but I need to rep team Stoncy! Aka Steve x Jonathan x Nancy. OT3 for real. The three of them together just bring a balance to their dynamic that is lacking with any separate pair of them. Loving these reactions btw and I can't wait to finish binging them :)
I have multiple gay friends and one is a flame. He is insufferable. Thank you Sam for proving that gay dudes can be "cool as a cucumber in a bowl of hot sauce". Also, Jacquie is smoking hot.
Can we just appreciate this science teacher? He's legit "educational system goals."

Nice reaction, as usual !
And to answer your question at 22 minutes : yes, the references to DnD all exists in the game.
Apparently Matthew Modine (papa) and Millie Bobby Brown (El) get along really well.
This makes me happy :) - Sam
Yep! By all accounts, Matthew Modine is a lovely man in real life.
In fact Millie's family put Matthew Modine while they were filming and he is super protective of Millie.
@@ED4515-l2nput what?
Matthew Modine is the actor for papa and he’s actually really nice in real life and he’s a great actor yall should watch more stuff with him
Pacific Heights with Michael Keaton and Melanie Griffith. Great movie.
He'll always be the guy from Gross Anatomy for me, for some reason.
@@JeffKelly03 forgot about that one.
@@laurakali6522 yea

IMO, the least realistic thing of the ENTIRE series is Nancy climbing into the tree, without checking in with Jonathan or anything. Like... whaaaa

This is so fun, what a reaction, I look forward to the next episodes, you guys❤️

the actor who plays papa is millie bobby brown (eleven’s) god father in real life
U guys should watch Fringe, it's all this nerdy, freaky weird science stuff! U'll totally love it, and u'll fall in love with Walter immediately.
This is a bit nitpicky, and I'm sorry, but a telepath is someone who can read minds. Eleven is telekinetic.
Y’all should watch Daredevil and Nope
The Jordan Peele 3 are such good Halloween movies. And Ghostbusters of course. also ditto on Daredevil, his She-Hulk episode was 💯
The blonde wig is from ET.
It actually is based off of D&D
Please react to Interview with the Vampire movie or new tv series?
Yeeeeessssssss
❤❤❤❤
same girl, same - Sam
