The Netflix exclusive show Stranger Things is a huge hit and
rightfully so. Chip and Cern give you an intro to the show then an
episode by episode recap! If you haven’t seen the show head over to
Netflix and watch the first episode/ chapter.
Both Chip and Cern are enjoying a large pint of Blind Pig from
Russian River Brewery in Santa Rosa, CA. This brewery is most known
for Pliney the Elder Double IPA. Blind Pig is a single IPA and very
tasty. Chip goes on to describe the beer making process which
reminds them that there is a Chip and Cern Brew going around that
probably taste like an old shoe by now.

The opening title sequence really screams 80s. Super nostalgic
story about 4 friends Will, Mike, Dustin and Luke who are classic
80’s nerdy kids. Playing D and D in the basement for hours. They
ride their bikes everywhere and are around middle school age. Not
really interested in girls and would rather hang around with their
friends.
Chapter 1: The boys finish their D & D game and they all ride
their bikes home and Will comes home and you get the feeling that
something is after him. He hears a weird noise and ends up
disappearing. The only trace of him is his bike he ditched in the
woods to run inside. He was back to the wall and then he was gone.
The next day Will’s mom, played by Winona Ryder, calls around
looking for her son. The boys take it upon themselves to search for
their friend. Will’s mom Joyce goes to the local police station
only to meet the town sheriff, Jim Hopper. Hopper is very rough
around the edges, beer bottles around, cig hanging out of her
mouth.
There is a little kid that is running around and runs into a
diner. Doesn’t speak, but is offered food and is starving. There is
a fan that is making some and she looks at the fan and fries the
circuit, stopping the fan. That is the first hint to the powers of
this little girl.
Chip and Cern both are really digging on the soundtrack. Here
is a Spotify playlist of said songs.
