The SuperHero Homies! Podcast is back with a packed episode covering the biggest moments in nerd and pop culture, including a full spoiler-filled review of the Stranger Things Season 5 series finale.

We kick things off with a cold open hyping up the upcoming Homie Awards, our annual satirical award show where YOU vote on the best and worst superhero movies and TV shows of the year. We talk about why this year’s Homie Awards might be our most chaotic yet and why listener votes truly matter.

From there, we break down the latest Avengers: Doomsday trailers, sharing our reactions, theories, and concerns about the future of the MCU, Doctor Doom, and the next era of Marvel storytelling.

For our main discussion, we dive deep into the Stranger Things Season 5 finale, offering an honest, spoiler-heavy review of the episode, the season, and the series as a whole. We talk about what worked, including the emotional payoff for key characters, the visual effects for the Mind Flayer, and Vecna’s performance, as well as what didn’t fully land, like Eleven’s fakeout ending, military plot holes, and lingering questions about the final battle.

While the finale isn’t perfect, we discuss why Stranger Things still sticks the landing emotionally and remains one of the most successful and impactful genre shows of its era.

If you love TV and movie reviews, superhero discussions, comic book talk, MCU and DC debates, and pop culture breakdowns, this episode is for you.
