Before the Mind Flayer. Before the Creel House. Before the Upside Down broke through, there was a missing kid, a terrified girl, and a town about to be changed forever.

This episode revisits Stranger Things Season 1, breaking down what made it so unforgettable. From the mystery of Will Byers’ disappearance to Eleven’s first appearance and the terrifying reveal of the Upside Down, we explore the storytelling, tension, and heart that kicked off a global phenomenon.

It's not just nostalgia, it’s the foundation. And it still hits.
