An in-depth discussion of Chapter Five: The Flayed. In this episode of Skull Rock Broadcast, Stacy and Meghan provide a detailed recap and analysis of another episode of Stranger Things, highlighting the episode's fast-paced action, character dynamics, and humor. We explore the episode's homage to classic action movies, as Joyce and Hopper come face to face with the Russians, and the intense body horror elements and cliffhanger as Jonathan and Nancy take on their flayed former bosses. There is lots of screaming and fighting balanced by some tender moments, especially between the kids when a vending machine becomes an olive branch for Mike and El. And we can’t forget the classic Scoops Troop moments in this episode as they (barely) make it off the elevator and further into the underground Russian base, only to discover that it might be more related to the Upside Down than Dustin and Steve originally realized.
