Cleared For Takeoff? - Stranger Things

Your favourite TransAtlantic podcasting crew continue to try their hands at a little TV Pilot Analysis by trying to figure out what all the fuss is about with Stranger Things. Georgia is learning the route while Ian has only flown it a couple of times. We're trying to ensure the plane doesn't go upside-down as we discuss:

• The clear 80s nostalgia
• The differences between a first ep of a Netflix release and a legit pilot
• If Benny is the most likeable character in the thing
• Where Georgia might know Winona Ryder from 
• Can you appreciate the quality in something while also disliking it?
• We talk some more about that great look down the barrel of a gun elevator shot
• Georgia gives her first impressions of the series, having never seen it before
• Would we ground the Stranger Things pilot or is it Cleared for Takeoff?
