An in-depth discussion of Chapter Three: The Case of the Missing Lifeguard.In this episode of Skull Rock Broadcast, hosts Meghan and Stacy brave the storm and channel their inner Nancy Drew to investigate 'The Case of the Missing Lifeguard.' The episode is rich with symbolism, particularly the stormy weather reflecting the brewing tensions in Hawkins. We start out at the ultimate 80s sleepover with Max and Eleven, with a supernatural spin, but they see something unsettling happening with Billy. For the rest of the episode, they follow the clues to figure out what is going on with him. Mike and Lucas are too busy worrying about their (ex-)girlfriends to get into Will’s D&D campaign, which leads to an emotional moment between Will and Mike and Will violently mourning the loss of his childhood by destroying Castle Byers. Hopper isn’t happy with Joyce after she stood him up at Enzo’s to spend time with Scott Clarke, but he humors her and takes her to explore the lab, where they find more than what they bargained for. Our own Nancy is also putting together clues about what is happening with the rats and the missing fertilizer, but when the rest of the Hawkins Post staff shoots her down, she decides she needs more proof. Over at Starcourt, Dustin and Steve are the worst spies ever and Robin cracks the code, in one of the most entertaining Scoops Troop storylines. The episode concludes with a creepy dinner scene with Heather's family and a shocking ending set to 'American Pie.’ In the episode we also discuss various other topics like childhood memories related to lightning safety, the impressive transitions from scene to scene, and cinematic references to horror films. In our merch segment, Stacy unboxes a mystery box filled with some great Stranger Things goodies. Support our show and access bonus content at https://www.patreon.com/skullrockbroadcast
