Feb 1002:07:13Tap to summarizeFallout Season 2 - Ep 382: We head back into the Wasteland to talk Fallout Season 2 on Normies Like Us.

From Vault mysteries to Brotherhood politics and the tone-balancing act between bleak apocalypse and pitch-black humor, we speculate wildly, argue passionately, and absolutely overthink everything.

Episode 380: 2025 Top 10 | New Year New Normies | Normies Like Us Podcast
Jan 2702:35:55Tap to summarizeAbout This Episode: 2025 Top 10 Films - Ep 380: New Year, New Normies, Last Year's Best of Lists! We count down our Top 10 Films of 2025, the movies that lived rent-free in our heads long after the credits rolled. We’re breaking down what made 2025 such a memorable year at the movies, and it’s certainly not the other theater goers that keep us showing up to the theater. Grab some popcorn and argue along with our hot takes and last ditch efforts at recommending hidden gems. Agree with us? Probably not—and that’s half the fun! Somehow heartbreak feels good in a Normie like this. @Normies_Like_Us https://www.instagram.com/normies_like_us/ @jacob https://www.instagram.com/_j__a___c___o__b_/ @Mike_Has_Insta https://www.instagram.com/mike_has_insta/ https://letterboxd.com/BabblingBrooksy/ https://letterboxd.com/hobbes72/ https://letterboxd.com/mikejromans/

Episode 378: Stranger Things | Series Finale | Normies Like Us Podcast
Jan 1302:17:17Tap to summarizeStranger Things Series Finale: Episode 378 - It all comes down to this. On this episode of Normies Like Us, we’re heading back to Hawkins one last time to talk about the final stretch of Season 5 and the series finale of Stranger Things. The bikes are parked, the gates are closing, and a show that defined a decade of genre TV has officially come to an end. We dig into the biggest moments from the last part of the season, the emotional hits, the character send-offs, and whether the finale delivered on all those years of buildup. Who stuck the landing? Which arcs paid off? What surprised us, disappointed us, or completely wrecked us? We break down the themes, the nostalgia, the horror, and the spectacle—without pretending we aren’t a little sad to leave this world behind. Did Stranger Things finish strong? Did it give the Party the ending they deserved? And where does the whole series land now that the Upside Down is (finally) behind us? Light the Christmas lights one more time and join Normies Like Us as we say goodbye to Hawkins. 🎬✨ Leggo my Eggo.
