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

"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.
