A warning to the wary listener, there be spoilers here.

From the Nerds at Night podcast- Terry Flemings joins the Nighthawks at the Diner for a stripped-down reaction episode discussing the finale season of Stranger Things.

Ten years ago, the Nighthawks actually felt the need to advocate for Season 1 of Stranger Things, a little plucky show that they really wanted people to watch. Now, with a decade behind it, Stranger Things is a certified cultural phenomenon. But does the wrap-up match the overwhelming love they felt for the first season?

We sliced our way through THANKSGIVING (2023), we got absolutely SCROOGED (1988) for Christmas, and now we're going to let the ball drop in Manhattan for New Year's Eve as the Nighthawks pop the champagne and caviar for GREMLINS 2: THE NEW BATCH (1989).

Rounding out our spooky holiday offerings we bring you a movie that absolutely isn't set during New Year's Eve, but has BIG New Year's Eve vibes- including wall-to-wall partying, a musical number of a crooner standard, a New York City setting, and a focus on getting things done before midnight. Gremlins 2 has all of these things, and as a follow-up to the undeniable Christmas-time-set original, it's hard to turn down singing monsters to ring in 2026.

The Nighthawks covered the original GREMLINS (1984) as part of their 2020 holiday special. During that conversation a return to the world of the mogwai was teased, but the time as come six years later.

Join Matt and Trevor in an after-midnight toast to the outgoing year and looking forward to a bright future... but not too bright. Especially not sunlight, it will kill them.
