An in-depth discussion of Chapter Five: The Nina Project. In this 100th episode of Skull Rock Broadcast, we unravel the intricate layers of this episode, filled with nostalgia, suspense, and character development that keeps us on the edge of our seats. We discuss the Scooby-Doo and Nancy Drew vibes as the Hawkins gang puts together puzzle pieces and looks for clues at the Creel House, with Steve and Dustin getting a little tired of each other and Lucas and Max sharing a sweet moment of reconnection. El is taken to the Death Star-coded underground lab of the Nina Project, where we witness the return of Dr. Brenner and find out the plan to help her regain her powers. Joyce and Murray have a peanut butter filled flight and fight on their way to Russia, and we are left unsure of their fate. And Eddie loses his hiding places as the episode reaches its explosive conclusion and Vecna takes another victim. Finally we talk about the season 5 trailer, the start of the press tour, and of course all of the new merch.

elm street, baby
In this conversation, Meghan and Stacy are joined by our friend and Elm Street-enthusiast Brandi to explore the connections between the A Nightmare on Elm Street franchise and Stranger Things. We delve into character parallels, themes of trauma and mental health, and the evolution of Freddy Krueger as a cultural icon. The discussion also highlights the significance of visual effects in horror and the impact of horror on pop culture. We share lots of humorous moments from Meghan’s experience watching the first three films for the first time with Stacy, and speculate on future plot developments in season 5 of Stranger Things based on connections the Duffer Brothers may continue to make to these movies.
