In this episode, Ashley and Jasmin go through all the ST5 news/information that has been released thus far. Granted, there isn't much, just enough for our fantabulous co-hosts to provide a run-down. Ashley and Jasmin also read/answer an email from one of our awesome listeners and give a preview as to what to expect from the podcast and our parent company, Ham Radio Media, in the not-too-distant future. Enjoy!

PS: This episode was recorded before the news dropped about the upcoming ST stage play, Stranger Things: The First Shadow. But don't worry, we will be doing a mini-sode on it soon.

In Part 2 of this script analysis series, Ashley and Jasmin continue their discussion on "The Massacre at Hawkins Lab" script by talking about Hopper and Russian guard Dmitri's heart-to-heart, Ted Wheeler (who doesn't know where his own children are 99% of the time) wanting other people's children to do jail time, and how the (seeming) revival of Nancy and Steve's relationship may have been planned as the Duffers were writing Season 4. They also discuss how sometimes it can be beneficial to not have everything written in a script to make it to the screen and loads more.

Ashley and Jasmin were joined by Ham Radio's first guest(s) of 2023: Zac and Devon Grubb, hosts of the Hawkins Hellfire Club Collective Podcast to talk all things Stranger Things. Topics discussed include: what's the best season of ST (so far)? Was Henry/Vecna/001 in the Duffer Brothers' minds from the beginning of the series? Was Will specifically targeted by the Demogorgon or just a victim of "wrong place, wrong time," and will Terry Ives (Eleven's mother) be featured any, if at all, in Season 5? They also discussed an interesting theory about Dr. Brenner raised by Zac on the Hawkins Hellfire pod as well as how they think the series could end, amongst other things. Finally, Zac and Devon talked about how their ST re-watch podcast is different from others. Enjoy!

Happy New Year! To kick off 2023, Ashley and Jasmin will be analyzing the (official) script for "The Massacre at Hawkins Lab". In Part 1 of this analytical series, Ashley and Jasmin provide their initial thoughts, impressions, and takes, on the similarities and discrepancies between the script and the on-screen final product. They also analyze the relationship between doctors Brenner and Owens, their differences, their respective character traits, and even their respective relationships with Eleven, as described in the script. Finally, Ashley and Jasmin discuss the importance of improv and how it can improve an actors' performance on screen and how sometimes veering from the script can be a benefit for a series/film overall. Enjoy Part 1 and stay tuned for Part 2 (this is where it gets trippy, so you won't want to miss it)!

In this episode, Robin from the Coffee & Contemplation Podcast joins us one last time to discuss and recap season 4's pivotal/climactic episode, Chapter 7: The Massacre at Hawkins Lab. Ashley and Robin cover everything from Vecna's monologue to the Upside Down (seemingly) stuck in 1983 and of course, the big reveal that Vecna is actually Henry Creel who is actually test subject #001 which has left ST fans confused as to what to call this season's villain ever since. Enjoy!

**CONTENT WARNING: This episode contains discussions on children being murdered and other related acts of violence. Neither Ham Radio nor Coffee & Contemplation condone such acts of violence and any/all discussion on this subject is purely to analyze Chapter 7. Listener discretion advised.**
