00:00There's only one thing more terrifying than the Upside Down.

00:03Realizing this is the final ride with the Hawkins gang from Ryan.

00:08Couldn't agree more.

00:09It's the final ride.

00:11It's gonna be a good one.

00:13It's a good final ride.

00:14I mean, it's such a gift to live with these characters and live with these people that you genuinely like to work with.
