Dylan and Connor are joined by Alison Jaye (Stranger Things: The First Shadow). It’s the final pod of 2025, y’all! Get ready for a cozy, upbeat, seasonal, and seamless conversation between the twins and Alison. Topics covered include: Stranger Things: The First Shadow (on Broadway!), Jamie Campbell Bower’s surprise Broadway debut as Henry Creel, discourse on I Love LA and Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery, as well as the impact that Netflix and Stranger Things has had on the world. Alison speaks about being a Broadway kid, appearing in Sunday in the Park with George and Mary Poppins, and the road that led her to becoming Joyce Maldonado. We gush over Burke Swanson, Neil Caffrey, and the backstage banter at the Marquis over Heated Rivalry. Stick around for Alison’s beautiful reflection on her year, Sondheim stories, and more. We simply adore Alison! See you in 2026, y’all!
