As we continue to recover from the first volume of Stranger Things 5, we have a special conversation for you this week on Skull Rock Broadcast. In the introduction (recorded this week), Meghan and Stacy chat about watching The Great Escape together, manifesting the return of Boppers, and our Spotify Wrapped results. That conversation about music is the perfect segway into the rest of the episode, which is our previously unreleased Djo mini-episode discussing our two favorite songs from The Crux (recorded in the beginning of August). We start with a taste test of the Djo cold brew coffee collaboration and a casual conversation about true crime and Hotel Mira (note: Meghan has new favorite songs now). Then, we explore themes of identity, change, and the importance of support systems in navigating life's challenges while talking about Egg and Back on You. We are so grateful for everyone who has supported us on Patreon this year, and shout out our current members on this episode. You can find video versions of all of our Djo mini-episodes, including this one which will be posted soon, as well as other bonus content at https://www.patreon.com/skullrockbroadcast

Well, we finally made it! Stranger Things 5 is here. We have some complicated feelings and definitely needed this ‘therapy’ session. In this episode, Stacy and Meghan dive deep into the first volume of the fifth season of Stranger Things, discussing their differing perspectives on the show's character dynamics, emotional impact, and storytelling choices. This episode is a wild ride and we have a lot to say, so join us on the journey. Access bonus content and support our show at https://www.patreon.com/skullrockbroadcast

An in-depth discussion of Chapter Nine: The Piggyback. We did it! Less than 24 hours before the release of Season 5 of Stranger Things, Stacy and Meghan are here to discuss the final episode of Season 4. We explore the emotional stakes, character dynamics, and the intense battle against Vecna and the hive mind. The conversation highlights the significance of friendship and loyalty, as well as the sacrifices made by characters in their fight against the Upside Down. As we reflect on the episode and its Empire Strikes Back ending (including the death of our beloved Eddie Munson), we also set the stage for what to expect in the final season.
