This week on the Primetimer Podcast, we're talking Stranger Things — and we're not alone. The show's fourth season dominated the headlines this week as discussion turned from episode bloat to Jonathan's minimized role to Will's sexuality and beyond. Primetimer's Joe Reid breaks all down.

Also: Star Wars defends Moses Ingram after racist fans attack the Obi-Wan Kenobi star, Sarah Jessica Parker talks Kim Cattrall, and we've got three great new picks from Hulu, Netflix and AMC+.

Hosted by Primetimer senior editor Aaron Barnhart, with managing editor Joe Reid, news editor Claire Spellberg Lustig and reviews editor Mark Blankenship.
