Skull Rock Broadcast: A Stranger Things Podcast

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choices, to iconic films such as William Shakespeare's Romeo & Juliet (1996) and poorly explained (on Meghan’s part) historical references in the Outlander television series.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. Trevor describes the rewarding experiences and challenges of working as a stand-in, memorable moments on set, and the importance of community in the Atlanta film industry. 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.

"It was a perfect send off." Picking up right where we left off in last week's episode, Meghan and Stacy share their thoughts on the epilogue portion of the Stranger Things season 5 finale. We share what we liked, what we loved, and what just didn't really work for us. We hope this helps you through your emotional hangover. And don't worry, the show might be over but this podcast isn't going anywhere! Support Skull Rock Broadcast on Patreon at https://www.patreon.com/skullrockbroadcast

"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.

As we continue to recover from the first volume of Stranger Things 5, we have a special conversation for you this week on Skull Rock Broadcast. In the introduction (recorded this week), Meghan and Stacy chat about watching The Great Escape together, manifesting the return of Boppers, and our Spotify Wrapped results. That conversation about music is the perfect segway into the rest of the episode, which is our previously unreleased Djo mini-episode discussing our two favorite songs from The Crux (recorded in the beginning of August). We start with a taste test of the Djo cold brew coffee collaboration and a casual conversation about true crime and Hotel Mira (note: Meghan has new favorite songs now). Then, we explore themes of identity, change, and the importance of support systems in navigating life's challenges while talking about Egg and Back on You. We are so grateful for everyone who has supported us on Patreon this year, and shout out our current members on this episode. You can find video versions of all of our Djo mini-episodes, including this one which will be posted soon, as well as other bonus content at https://www.patreon.com/skullrockbroadcast

Well, we finally made it! Stranger Things 5 is here. We have some complicated feelings and definitely needed this ‘therapy’ session. In this episode, Stacy and Meghan dive deep into the first volume of the fifth season of Stranger Things, discussing their differing perspectives on the show's character dynamics, emotional impact, and storytelling choices. This episode is a wild ride and we have a lot to say, so join us on the journey. Access bonus content and support our show at https://www.patreon.com/skullrockbroadcast
