What I love is that this point in the show there’s basically 4 different stories going on. 1. The kids are in an 80s adventure like ET or The Goonies. Just a bunch of grade schoolers solving a supernatural mystery. There’s also some Stephen King-esque overly aggressive bullies. 2. The teens are basically in a slasher movie. A monster killed their friend and nobody believes them. Can they survive and find out what it wants? 3. Hopper is in a straight-up thriller. A small case threatens to expose a shadowy government conspiracy. It’s a race to see if he can find the truth before THEY tie up all the loose ends. 4. Winona Ryder is in a classic horror movie. Her house is haunted. THINGS keep appearing and disappearing. Everyone thinks she’s losing her mind and, worst of all, she’s worried they might be right.
You could even add a fifth when including the Brenner and Hawkins Lab storyline. I'm not clued in enough to film to offer a good synopsis of that like yourself haha!
What I liked about the season is that they didn't drag out the whole Joyce is "crazy" angle. They had Hop, Jonathan, Nancy, and the kids all figure it out to some extent in this episode.
It’s something you don’t see often anymore where all of the characters are competent, or maybe I’m just weathered from the amount of trashy anime’s I’ve watched
Stuff was so different in the 80s. My mom used to tell me not to call a boy, or approach a boy. Never be aggressive, always be demure. My mom would have fixated on the possible sex too because she’s worried about me not my friend. My friend is her parents problem. Once Nancy talks to her mom about her life her mom will be able to focus on her friend.
@@LordVolkov lol. Just about. Except she wasn’t misremembering being “a good girl”. Silent Generation who was just a bit too old for rock n roll (that hit when she was about 20 and “way too respectable for that” 🙄)
There is another level of that worry during that time period that many today just don't realize. During the early 80s you had this "little" virus that we call AIDS that at the time was still a massive unknown on how it transmitted or even how to detect it. All people knew was that it was out there. I had a blood transfusion when I was a small child and the there was no screening (didn't exist yet) of donated blood for AIDS at the time, so when the AIDS epidemic was getting worse my doctors told my parents to always tell other doctors to be on the lookout for symptoms due to that unknown status of that transfusion. A parent worrying about there kids because of something you can't detect and at the time meant a death sentence, being a little prudish seems very reasonable in hindsight.
Leave her alone? If you were living in the sticks 40 years ago and your teenager snug out and slept with her boyfriend? That was more than a big deal. Retro is not just about the Walkman, neon lights and the mixtape. People who are grandparents today btw were very different back then.
Case in point, 40 years later, here I am because some 16 year olds had to sneak out and bang in 1983, and it was a SCANDAL, local still refer to me in hushed tones. Great way to grow up.
They used to beat kids in the sticks 40 years ago, too. Does that mean people watching from 2024 can't say, "That's not the way to treat a child."? I don't care what decade we're in, a missing child should always take priority over whether a teenage girl is a virgin. Just because purity culture was bigger back then, doesn't mean it's invalid to say Karen should be more focused on Barbara being missing and less focused on her daughter's consensual interactions.
@@Br0nto5aurusNot invalid to say but tone deaf thing to say. And throwing little extreme example to try to prove point is pointless. Both things are not equivalent. For example. In some parts of world, in past. Women had to cover much body. They don't had choice. If Mom shouts at daughter for wearing revealing cloths. That's valid to say mother is wrong. But tone deaf thing to say. In same time period. If girl get raped. They forced rapist to marry with girl because no one else will marry her. Even now you can be more critical of that. You see. Both actions wrong. Both from same period, both social norm of that time. For one action i can't say parent were bad people without being social tone deaf. In one I can.
@@helloasa9296 pretty late but this is pretty disingenuous. Even "back then", there were plenty of people who recognized these glaring problems (purity culture being one of the more noticeable examples) and actively worked on putting an end to them (which was eventually accomplished, obviously). you can't say it's "socially tone deaf" just because the parents were way too comfortable with the way things were back then and in the process damaged the lives of a very sizeable chunk of the following generations. For the record, I don't think Karen's behavior is overboard or overbearing. I think she's a very genuine person who was doing her best and none of the things she said crossed a line. It's just that it wasn't really a good time to have that conversation.
She cares about her daughter. It's not weird that she asks her about the first person she slept with and that she wants to know more. This is not only healthy but a normal thing for a mother/daughter relationship lol. I don't think she fixated on it so much as she wanted Nancy to talk to her. She already knew she just wanted Nancy to open up to her. I don't think it's even that weird in the current day. Funny thing about it is if she had indeed opened that line of communication, when her mom initially asked, in the last episode they could've better navigated that conversation with the police who were being super weird and hostile.
@@Jehty_ No I didn't miss that part. That's part of my reply. It's also directly addressed in my final sentence. It's natural that her mom cares more about her own children than she does Barb. The fact that Barb is missing probably heightens the emotions felt around protecting her. She also tells her that she's there to listen. We know that a supernatural monster took Barb. They think it's a matter for the police and are navigating the feelings around that.
"What kid has a haircut like that"...oh sweeties...if you were only around in the 80's LOL. I was born in '83 and I remember the hair craze of the late 80's. It was too real lol.
@@angeloalvarez5520 Doesn't matter if it was the 80s, '70s, or '60s girls did not go around with a shaved or nearly shaved head. Seeing on Star Trek the Motion Picture in the late 70s a woman bald was totally bizarre.
@@ThePharaz I was talking about the 80s hairstyles in particular. A women with a shaved head would definitely be bizarre in those times. Even now a lot of people would probably gawk at a shaved head
LOL - "What kid has a haircut like that?" Plenty. When I was in first grade, there was a girl who's hair looked like she'd just been to the salon and gotten it fixed every day. And it was gorgeous. And it was a very adult style (like what little girls in beauty pageants wear - which is probably what she was doing, tbh). All of us were jealous of her even at 6 years old. NOT to throw shade, but it was always the upper middle class girls. Always. I even remember her name and how I got jealous when she talked to a guy I liked. As an adult, I've often wanted to apologize to her somehow cuz I'm sure she felt all that jealousness. I don't remember her ever being rude or mean. And I wasn't mean to her either, but I did make assumptions about her.
You guys keep complaining about the cops thinking the kids are running away not understanding you're privy to information they don't have. It's a small town, nothing serious happens. It's the logical conclusion.
They're definitely more emotional than logical, and find it hard to put themselves in that period. But that's apart of why I enjoy watching this. Different perspectives!
The way they portray the 80s is pretty much on spot. I was a teen in the 70's so the 80's is pretty fresh in my mind still. Also, you got a win this episode. You got good news for a change, Will might be alive & Hopper is on the case & kicking ass.
LOL at "why do you care?" Because she's a teenager in high school and that's her mom. I don't know anyone's mom who wouldn't care, even today. It's weird that yall thought it was weird. This sounds like I didn't like your reaction. I actually loved it and can't wait for the next ep, but as weird as you thought her mom's reaction was is how weird I thought your reaction was 😂
Nancy's mother is amazing, she's right to be worried and she's gentle with her. It's pretty normal for a parent to be concerned about their teenager having sex, not sure why they couldn't understand that
fun fact i made the decision to buzz my head TWO WEEKS before this show came out and everybody called me el for the entirety of my junior and senior year lmao
Yup. My dad gave my older sister a short haircut when she was 9ish and people would ask my dad "how old are your sons". She was so embarrassed and pissed at him.
Sinéad O'Connor. Her debut studio album, The Lion and the Cobra, was released in 1987. She had a shaved head. But I agree, not to common in the 80's for a girl to have a shaved head.
I had a shaved haircut in 2009 when i was 9, and it was horrible, everyone would stare at me including the teachers lol they knew i was a girl but didn’t understand why my hair was so short
13:50 Why would a parent ever care about their teenage child having sex? Well aside from being a good parent and trying to guide your child to making wise decisions this show takes place in 1982(I believe) meaning only 10 years prior in 1972 did condoms become legally purchasable by unmarried couples and only in July of 1982 did GRIDS(Gay Related Immunodeficiency Syndrome) get renamed to AIDS(Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome) as it became widely accepted it wasn't a gay only disease and teenagers(hell people in general even these days) aren't exactly known for safe sexual practices.
It's a very liberal nothing about sex is consequential attitude. Honestly, you'd be a terrible mother to just let that slide. Especially after your kid lied to your face.
Maybe less feel good and more super nostalgic. As a person who was born in 78, this show captures a lot of the 80s from a kid's point of view perfectly.
More feel good fun, and screaming. The first season of Stranger Things is basically a mix of tons of 80's films and Stephen King books. Firestarter, which is a Stephen King book and film, is the most recognizable in the show. There are also elements of the Goonies, ET, It, and Poltergeist.
There was no Autopsy done on the chest no cut and stitches then when he felt the body it didn't feel right so he was oretty sure he would cut into something and not someone
12:26 what the fuck are they even talking about. a mom being worried about her teenage highschooler daughter sleeping with someone and lying about it? "why do you care"? it's like they lack the brain capacity to imagine what it's like to have a child.
@@blubirdhill2608 dude no offesnse but you don't need to inject your silly politics into every possible subject. A mother is always worried and they are probably too young to empathise with that yet. I remember 20 years ago I was a horrible son and made my mom worried all the time and now I get tears in my eyes whenever I think about her. Not everything is an us vs them fight. Their reaction was a bit cringey but your implied mysogyny is much more cringe.
@@blubirdhill2608 hahaha trying a bit way too hard, bro. you are trying like a little bitch to make it look like you weren't just ranting about those progressive women who take anti depressants, like an incel. I called them stupid because they reacted in a stupid way to a scene. Doesn't have anything to do with their sex. Is your cowardly little incel brain capable of comprehending that?
Thought that it was kind of sweet the way the boys were helping 11 with her lipstick, wig, etc. Proving that when the chips are down, these kids help each other out.
Fun Fact: "That weird mf in the glass" that Maple pointed out, is actually SHAWN LEVY. One of the Executive Producers/ Directors. He's just making a little cameo 😁... but him and the Duffer Brothers always direct the best episodes in each season in my opinion
Lol because this is in the 80s and ahe seemed to have been a virgin and the mother did not like her lying to her for one thing and she probably had a few motherly questions like did you use a condom lol but yea no one was being sensitive to Barb missing
If parents in the eighties woumdn't have freaked out about their high school kid having sex, the probably weren't very involved parents. Not saying it is good to freak out over that. But that was the way it was, for most households back then.
I don't think I've ever watched reactors who are less enthused about Stranger Things than you two. 😂If you aren't excited or intrigued by now, I'm thinking this might not be for you.... maybe it's the lack of understanding of what the 80's were like? Idk...🤷🏼♀️
We need a double feature like you do with korra and barry, two episodes released in the same day please. that would be amazing love the content, thank you hope you all are doing great!
idk if "who cares" was really the attitude people would have towards teenagers hooking up in the 80s. i wonder if the storytelling style is too modern so they dont quite connect with the period piece aspect.
In my head canon, the guy who goes into the monster hole is called "Shepard" because he is the same guy sent in to clear out Black Mesa in Half Life: Opposing Force.
So happy you guys are doing this!! PLEASEEEE KEEP UP WITH IT!! Season 2 is a fun crazy ride that really delves deeper into the friendships and relationships of the characters. And you really get to know the characters better. Cant wait till ya get to season 3 it’s my favorite!
Yeah, the difference between Will and Barb. Will had the gun. Hopper for the shells, but not the gun that Will loaded in episode one. So, Will has probably been trying to outsmart the thing and had places to hide, he was in his own house for the longest time And Barb was defenseless and trapped in the pool with not a lot of places to run too.
Just finished season 1 of Stranger Things. Really excited to see yalls reaction to everything. The whole time watching it all I think about was yall mocking the "feel good" vibe to it haha
Shaved on a woman wasnt done in the 80s. The first I ever saw was Sinead O'Connor and it was a long time later before any non celebrity did it. The parenting is always very 80s accurate, other than enlightened Joyce.
@@hye181 it’s not parasocial to notice somebody getting meaner in videos. They’re not my friends. That doesn’t mean it’s not getting less enjoyable to watch
These two need to watch some kind of short documentary about the rise of Reagan, televangelism, and neoconservatism in the 1980s. Ought to put a lot of the parents' behavior in perspective.
Love all the reactions, when you finish with Barry and Korra I would love to see your reaction to BoJack Horseman. I think you might enjoy it and have interesting takes on the characters and story.
@@Diegesis I mean you can look it up. Even if you dont end up reacting to it. I would suggest you still watch it, its such a compelling movie. It was top 1 most watched movie in Netflix in a lot of countries.
I think Aryana and Maple have become my favorite reactors. idk if anybody else in the comments has watched MST3K, but I think that’s why I enjoy watching reactions so much lol.

Brilliant synopsis
This right here. One of the best parts of stranger things is watching all of these different genres inevitably collide.
goddamn it’s no wonder i love this show, mixing a lot of my favorite genres and doing it without even me noticing it 😂
You could even add a fifth when including the Brenner and Hawkins Lab storyline. I'm not clued in enough to film to offer a good synopsis of that like yourself haha!
it's also funny how she is Winona Ryder because no one knows her character's name
Winona Ryder was an absolute perfect choice to play Joyce.
Also let’s remember this shows set in like 1982 that’s 42 years ago…in small town Indiana…
It's set in 1982, but I'm going to need you to stop lying about how long ago that was. 1982 was only fifteen to twenty years ago, I could swear.

We need a double feature like you do with korra and barry, two episodes released in the same day please. that would be amazing love the content, thank you hope you all are doing great!
Arianna, you're one of my fav reactors on YT. But those EYES are freakin' me out!
idk if "who cares" was really the attitude people would have towards teenagers hooking up in the 80s. i wonder if the storytelling style is too modern so they dont quite connect with the period piece aspect.
In my head canon, the guy who goes into the monster hole is called "Shepard" because he is the same guy sent in to clear out Black Mesa in Half Life: Opposing Force.
So happy you guys are doing this!! PLEASEEEE KEEP UP WITH IT!! Season 2 is a fun crazy ride that really delves deeper into the friendships and relationships of the characters. And you really get to know the characters better.
Cant wait till ya get to season 3 it’s my favorite!
"this is gonna make me david after dentist" was so funny 😂💀
Yo did she say "A Wallussy" 😅 I'm fuckin crying lol
that's exactly what it is though 🤣
@@wavehellhole it's how casually she said it and they didn't laugh smile or even acknowledge it lmao
I think this is where it starts to get feel good
Yeah, the difference between Will and Barb. Will had the gun. Hopper for the shells, but not the gun that Will loaded in episode one. So, Will has probably been trying to outsmart the thing and had places to hide, he was in his own house for the longest time And Barb was defenseless and trapped in the pool with not a lot of places to run too.
It's super convenient that Maple's last name is Left and Arianna's last name is Right so you know exactly where to sit.
Haha
I like that it tells the beginning of a story:
Maple left Arianna, right?
Yeah, I guess they had a fight.
best way to deal with trauma is to confront it often to the point it doesn't traumatize you anymore
Just finished season 1 of Stranger Things. Really excited to see yalls reaction to everything. The whole time watching it all I think about was yall mocking the "feel good" vibe to it haha
Let's see if they regard it as "Feel Good" yet?
I feel good watching them suffer. Maybe that's what Chad meant?
Girls, continue!! That's a command. CONTINUE!!! It's sooo good. By the way, Arianna, your eyes are freaking me out. Color contacts???
I'm so happy you're doing it! It'll become feel good in a moment!
Shaved on a woman wasnt done in the 80s. The first I ever saw was Sinead O'Connor and it was a long time later before any non celebrity did it.
The parenting is always very 80s accurate, other than enlightened Joyce.
Ariana's twin sister is back reacting. Very cool
I feel so good right now.
“Feel Good” time!
whoever did that Patreon Credits thing is a monster. The right side goes slightly faster than the left and its hurting me on a deep level.
“Hi guys welcome back to diet Jesus” every time
Remember ladies. It’s a feel good show 😂😂😂
"WALL-USSY" *NOOOOOO* 😭😭😂😂😂
Awesome reaction of my favorite episode of Stranger Things!!!!😊😊😊😊
In the first 10 seconds we get one girl saying "dia-jesus" and the other saying "swish blade"...jesus...
I need to see their reaction to the next episode already! And the rest of the season!! Anhh
8:34 did Maple say “Wallussy with webs” and were all gonna just ignore that? Cause I’m not LOL
"feels good" yet about this show?
Love this show
Why am I only just now realising Ariana has immensely blue eyes!?
because I don’t lol I was out of normal contacts that week…
@@ariannaw6858 ahhhh thank you! That makes a lot more sense! I was so confused! Haha
It's a Build-A-Boy! :)
This is the best "and guys, it hurts my feelings" face I've ever seen! 😹😹😹
When did Arianna get so holier than thou? Goddamn.
She’s been angry as fuck lately
you dont know these people calm down
@@hye181 it’s not parasocial to notice somebody getting meaner in videos. They’re not my friends. That doesn’t mean it’s not getting less enjoyable to watch
I still don't see "feel good" Chad in any of the credits.
Lol, it's cause i'm always here oooOOOOooOOoooo
Full transparency, Winona Ryder has been observed to be fairly sporadic irl.
These two need to watch some kind of short documentary about the rise of Reagan, televangelism, and neoconservatism in the 1980s. Ought to put a lot of the parents' behavior in perspective.
i think arianna is more familiar with these types of people but maple is quite young and probably didnt have a lot of reagan era parenting growing up
What's crazier is some of this shit is real...remote viewing was a thing.... RIP the First Earth Battalion...
Please keep the ST content coming!
Love all the reactions, when you finish with Barry and Korra I would love to see your reaction to BoJack Horseman. I think you might enjoy it and have interesting takes on the characters and story.
Maybe too young to remember the kids dressing up ET?
They haven't seen ET.
@@Diegesis 👍 that’s what I figured
Wooo feel good time!
Ariana's eyes are blue. Did I miss something?
Joyce is going on about not being crazy, meanwhile I'm trying to convince myself I'm not going crazy noticing The Arianna Eyes lol.
Bravo.
Pleaseee react to Society of the Snow! You always have such deep and insightful reactions🙏🙏
Never heard of it. Bad portent
@@Diegesis besties it's literally nominated to the Oscars for Best Foreign Picture 🙏🙏
the oscars has little relevance to general audiences seeing them. idk anyone who actually saw Green Book either
@@Diegesis I mean you can look it up. Even if you dont end up reacting to it. I would suggest you still watch it, its such a compelling movie. It was top 1 most watched movie in Netflix in a lot of countries.
Stranger things bad lip reading when youre done with s2
Did you just ask why a mom would care if her teenage daughter was sleeping with someone? Are you kidding me! What clown world do you live in?
I love this feel good show.
I love your channel and your reactions. Please keep watching its amazing
I think Aryana and Maple have become my favorite reactors. idk if anybody else in the comments has watched MST3K, but I think that’s why I enjoy watching reactions so much lol.
Diet Jesus
👍🏾
Chad, you have two women angry at you. Why, bro? Why???? 😝😁😆💔
"Wallussy"
word of the day
lenses look terrible im sorry
why does your name sound like "diet jesus"? Was that deliberate?
