An in-depth discussion of Chapter Eight: The Battle of Starcourt. Happy Battle of Starcourt Day! In this podcast episode, Meghan and Stacy dive deep into the complexities of the final episode of season 3 of Stranger Things, which is set on this very day in 1985. One of our favorite episodes of the show, this is a dramatic, fast-paced, and action-packed cinematic masterpiece, reminiscent of nostalgic 80s blockbuster films, and one of the best pieces of television to ever exist (in our humble opinions). From humor to heroic moments, characters like Hopper, Nancy, and Steve steal the show with a fireworks-filled Starcourt Mall as the backdrop. Our conversation touches on the epic musical moment between Dustin and Suzie, as well as other songs used throughout the episode. We discuss the emotional performance Dacre Montgomery gives as Billy Hargrove, and the themes of redemption and sacrifice. The aftermath of the events in season 3 is also highlighted as we discuss the emotional epilogue. Finally, we give some updates on what else to expect from the podcast this summer, shout out some fun merch we’ve added to our collections this past week, and give a little reading update.
