Stranger Things and the Real Conspiracies Behind It
Update: 2025-11-20
Description
Stranger Things might be fiction, but the inspiration behind it is anything but. From government mind control programs to interdimensional portals and Cold War paranoia, Shane Hewitt and Ryan dig into how the hit Netflix series draws on decades of real-world conspiracy lore.
They unpack the wild truths behind MK Ultra, the Montauk Project, and the government’s history of weaponized experimentation—and ask: could a show like this shape how we think about conspiracy today? From pop culture to classified files, this is a conversation about what we believe, why we believe it, and what Stranger Things actually says about us.
