Skull Rock Broadcast: A Stranger Things Podcast

An in-depth discussion of Chapter One: The Crawl. We are finally diving into, or more accurately, climbing the tower that is season 5 of Stranger Things! Join Meghan and Stacy as we start off strong with what will probably be one of our favorite episodes of this season, exploring key plot points, character developments, and behind-the-scenes insights. This first episode brings us back (finally) to Hawkins with all of our favorite characters, and we learn what happened during the 18-month time jump. Maybe surprisingly, we really enjoyed discussing this action-backed episode, including the callbacks to past seasons, the meta moments, and the 80s music on the soundtrack. Even if you have mixed feelings about the final season, we’ve all been missing our favorite show, and we hope these deep dives are as therapeutic for everyone as they definitely will be for us.

We are reminiscing this week about the Stranger Things moments that were so good they gave us goosebumps. Every season is included (even five)! And if that’s not enough, enjoy Meghan and Stacy catching up about movies, Maya Hawke, and more. Meghan shares her shiny new Letterboxd top 4, and at some point we go on a fun tangent about millennial game shows and Dunkin. This is a fun one, folks.

This week, Meghan and Stacy are reminiscing about all the immersive events and experiences that have been used to promote the show and allow fans to experience Stranger Things in real life. From Universal's Halloween Horror Nights beginning in 2018 to the brand new Netflix Houses opening last year, we are exploring some of the highlights. Meghan also got to visit the Netflix House in Philadelphia to see the first two episodes of Tales from ‘85 and is sharing her experience and initial thoughts on the new animated series.

On this week's episode, join Stacy and Meghan as we recount the highlights and our favorite moments from Season 5 of Stranger Things, including music, costumes, and characters. It’s quite a bit shorter than our ‘five fixes’ episode, but it got us excited to finally dive into season 5 episode by episode (coming very soon)!

In this heartfelt episode, Meghan and Stacy discuss the power of entertainment in bringing much-needed comfort to our lives. We share the television shows, movies, and music that serve as emotional anchors during tough times, including Stranger Things of course. We also chat about what we are currently watching, including our thoughts and predictions about the last two episodes of The Pitt, the show we are currently obsessing over (that just happens to be the opposite of a comfort watch).

In this week’s episode, Meghan and Stacy are joined by Mike and Charlie from Hotel Mira (who regular listeners have definitely heard mentioned once or twice…) to talk movies. We asked the guys about their favorite movies, filmmakers, actors, and what they watch on the road. You’ll either be in heaven like Stacy with the countless movie references or finish the episode like Meghan with tons of new movie recommendations. Don’t worry, we chat about Stranger Things in the beginning of the episode, as well as Twin Peaks, Heated Rivalry, and some other television shows, too. Fans of the band will get some fun behind the scenes anecdotes about recent tours.

In this episode, Meghan and Stacy welcome Joey (aka Cinco) back to the podcast to share his journey of setting a Guinness World Record for the largest collection of licensed Stranger Things merchandise.

I couldn't name the episode tit for tit, Stacy... and we're back, guys! Listen in to hear Meghan and Stacy catch up after Meghan's vacation. We talk cruise comedians (and food), the book Half His Age by Jennette McCurdy, Stacy's Oscar predictions (which turned out to be pretty spot-on), updates for some Stranger Things cast members, and what tv and movies we've been watching lately. We also shout out our Patreon members (but somehow missed Amy and Shannon, thank you both for joining) and you can join the fun at https://www.patreon.com/skullrockbroadcast to access bonus content including ad-free episodes.

What would you change about season 5 of Stranger Things? Stacy and Meghan start this episode with a conversation about the movies we watched this week, including Cold Storage, "Wuthering Heights," and classic comedies This Is Spinal Tap and The ‘Burbs. Then, we each share five fixes we would make to improve the final season of Stranger Things, critiquing some of the writing choices, particularly the time jumps, character development, and notable absences of a few key characters.

Have you missed hearing us talk about Stranger Things? Don’t worry, we’ve got you covered this week. In this episode, listen to Meghan and Stacy hang out and play a casual game of Guess Who, Hawkins style. We hope you’ll play along with us as you listen to this hilarious and slightly chaotic episode (we’ll post the list of characters we were using on the Patreon). We also chat about the tour that Djo just announced, opening for Tame Impala on the east coast of the United States, Joe Keery’s new film Cold Storage in theaters now, Harry Styles, Hotel Mira, and more.
