About this listen

The final season of Stranger Things is over — but the chaos behind it might be even more fascinating.

In this episode of Thumb War, we break down “One Last Adventure: The Making of Stranger

Things 5”, the Netflix documentary that pulls back the curtain on the most ambitious (and stressful) production of the series.

From starting Season 5 without a finished script, to massive practical sets, exhausted showrunners, crew members holding the entire production together, and the internet losing its mind over ChatGPT in the writers’ room, this doc raises as many questions as it answers.

Is the behind-the-scenes story more compelling than the finale itself? Did the Duffer Brothers try to please everyone — and end up pleasing no one? And why does the Upside Down feel less like a place and more like a logistical nightmare?

We dig into what worked, what didn’t, and why One Last Adventure might be the most honest look at Stranger Things yet.
