The Stranger Things documentary One Last Adventure just dropped—and somehow made the finale backlash even louder. In this episode of Cubbie Chats, Cubbie breaks down why the documentary didn’t do the Duffer Brothers any favors, what the writer’s room revelations say about Season 5’s divisive ending, and whether the finale retroactively taints the entire franchise.

From viral rumors about ChatGPT writing the finale to scrapped monster battles, unresolved plotlines, and fan frustration, we get into why the fandom feels more split than ever. Cubbie also asks the big question: Is it time to officially move on from Stranger Things?

Plus, a deep dive into what’s next for the Duffer Brothers—including The Boroughs, Something Very Bad Is Going to Happen, and Stranger Things: Tales From ’85—and whether they still deserve our trust.

And because it’s never just one topic: Disney finally listens to fans with Tangled live-action casting, a wild horror movie review (The Primate), an Avengers: Doomsday trailer reaction, and what upcoming movies are actually worth getting excited about.
