S2 EP11: Testing the Waters (#2) - TSITP, Cap 4, Stranger Things, 9-1-1
Description
***Disclaimer: this episode was actually recorded a whopping six months ago(…), and for a handful of frankly nonsensical reasons, we haven’t released it until now… after three out of the four ships have already had their onscreen follow-ups (it’s fine — don’t worry about it 😅). Even though this episode is almost entirely out-of-date, we had a really fun time with it, so we decided to still share it with the world.***
This week, we’re putting our crystal balls to the test as we try predicting the outcome of four (or maybe five…) ships all with follow-up scheduled for sometime in 2025. We’re focusing on Steven and Taylor (The Summer I Turned Pretty Season 3), Sam and Bucky (MCU), Steve and Nancy and/or Nancy and Jonathan (Stranger Things Season 5), and Buck and Eddie (9-1-1 Season 8). Admittedly, the last time we made predictions on-air they didn’t work out so well (#sylkiforever), but that hasn’t stopped us from once again hoping for the best (but also expecting the worst).
