Speculative Labor | Economy of Nothing 201

Stranger Things Season Five is over — and somehow, nothing feels finished. In Episode 201 of The Economy of Nothing, Mr Green and Captain Tracy break down the Stranger Things finale, mystery-box storytelling, and why modern TV seems incapable of ending anything anymore. What starts as a critique of plot holes and fan theories quickly turns into a larger conversation about streaming-era television, overlong runtimes, franchise exhaustion, and Hollywood’s growing reliance on comfort over creativity. Along the way, they explore speculative labor, artificial scarcity, Pokémon card markets, vampires, movie magic, Marvel’s ongoing identity crisis, and the economics of carrying value you’re never allowed to inspect. This episode also sets the tone for the show’s evolving visual-radio format — where the audio leads and the animation follows.
