The shower is a fantastic invention. It keeps us clean and prevents us from smelling like the bus. But it doesn’t have a good spot for propping up your phone. What are you supposed to do?

Largely, Season 2 can be summarized as basically “Stranger Things: The Strangening.” You tread the exact same ground as last season, only more. And again. And it’s just kind of… boring. Read more…
