In this episode, Stacy and Meghan celebrate Valentine’s Day (Stacy’s favorite holiday) by discussing their favorite on-screen love stories from movies and TV shows. The conversation highlights our contrasting tastes, from quirky films like Dinner in America (2020) and interesting horror film choices, to iconic films such as William Shakespeare's Romeo & Juliet (1996) and poorly explained (on Meghan’s part) historical references in the Outlander television series.

In this episode, Stacy and Meghan welcome back Kelly, our friend and first-ever guest from two years ago, to discuss the continued viral success of Djo (the musical project of Joe Keery, who also played Steve Harrington in Stranger Things). We reflect on some memorable concert experiences from Djo’s Back on You and Another Bite tours last year and share our thoughts on The Crux and The Crux Deluxe, the two new albums he released in 2025. We also create our own mixtape, sharing some of our favorite tracks from the 1980s and chatting about the significance of music in pop culture. Finally, we share our anticipation for Joe’s upcoming projects, including the film Cold Storage, and predictions for more live music this year.

"We are fandom girlies and there's just so much to discuss with music, movies, TV shows." In this episode, Stacy and Meghan kick off a brand new season of Skull Rock Broadcast by hopping on the nostalgia trend and discussing the pop culture of the year 2016. We reflect on the initial impact of Stranger Things, which premiered that year, as well as our experiences with various TV shows and movies, including The Walking Dead, Game of Thrones, and Orange is the New Black. We share the significance of certain moments in our lives during that time and discuss cultural phenomena of the year, such as Pokémon Go and Snapchat filters. We also share our thoughts on the recent Stranger Things documentary, discussing the behind-the-scenes efforts that went into the show's production and the emotional impact it had on fans. This episode gives a preview of what to expect from our show moving forward, as we continue to focus mostly on Stranger Things but begin to weave in other pop culture elements as well.

Meghan and Stacy are excited to share our conversation with Trevor Rogers (@trevorwrogers on Instagram), who we talked to about his journey as an actor, including his experience working on season 5 of Stranger Things.

We also have a blast talking (and laughing) with Trevor about his favorite movies and future projects. We follow the interview with some updates about Stranger Things merch and recent additions to Stacy’s collection.

"We're back, baby!" In this conversation, Meghan is relieved to learn that volume 2 of Stranger Things 5 restored Stacy's faith in the show, and we don't have to fight it out in this so-called "therapy session." We talk about our experiences watching episodes 5-7 of the show on Christmas night, and what we really enjoyed (pretty much everything in the Upside Down lab scenes) along with our criticisms and unanswered questions (what was the significance of "Peter's school projects?"). Join us as we make sense of these episodes and our initial thoughts and emotions about them, as we prepare for the final episode of the series.

From finally getting new Djo music in January, to finishing our season 4 re-watch in time for volume one of Stranger Things 5, the past year has been a rollercoaster over here at Skull Rock Broadcast. In this episode, Stacy and Meghan reflect on 2025, acknowledging some of the challenges while intentionally focusing more on all of the great things that happened this year. We re-cap all of our adventures on and off the air, from the Rocky Mountains to the barricade at the Djo show in New Haven. We also reminisce about all of the great guests we got to talk to on the podcast this year, including lots of other Djo fans, Stacy’s sister, our friends Brandi, Rachel, Juan, and the incredible Matt Gilbert! It was the year of djonuts (Djo & donuts, get it?) and we are ending it with no regrets.
