An in-depth discussion of Chapter One: The Hellfire Club. In this episode of Skull Rock Broadcast, Meghan and Stacy finally dive into season 4 of Stranger Things. This iconic episode of the show is one of our all-time favorites, as it introduces the world to Eddie Munson. It also reintroduces all of the characters we’ve come to love both in Hawkins, Indiana and all the way out in California. We analyze the parallel experiences of Max and El navigating the struggles of high school after so much trauma, laugh as Dustin and Mike scramble to find a substitute for Lucas at their D&D campaign, and cheer for the Sinclair siblings as they lead their teams to victory. Throughout the episode, we note how it is difficult to watch the struggles of characters with their mental health and the new challenges in their relationships with each other, and the dark themes intensify with the horrifying conclusion to the episode.

summer of munson
Welcome to season 4 of Skull Rock Broadcast! To kick off the new season, Stacy and Meghan are joined by Rachel to talk about the epic summer of 2022, which we have officially named the summer of Munson. Starting from the first moments of Joseph Quinn showing up on our screens as the iconic Eddie Munson, we break down the timeline of his rise in popularity and the emotional impact of Eddie's character in season 4 of Stranger Things. We share memorable moments from the promotional tour in Brazil, his first convention appearances, meeting Metallica at Lollapalooza, and more. We discuss our personal experiences at conventions, the role of social media and TikTok in shaping fandom, as well as fan theories about Eddie's potential return. This is a fun trip down fangirl memory lane and the perfect way to begin to revisit this epic season of our favorite show.

mall madness
In this episode, Stacy and Meghan savor the end of summer vibes by returning to Starcourt Mall for a trip down memory lane. We discuss the rise and fall of the shopping mall, including our own experiences and how it was portrayed in season 3 of Stranger Things. Then we window shop the fashion of Stranger Things, focusing on our favorite iconic styles from the show, the impact of malls on fashion trends, and the evolution of character styles. The conversation highlights memorable outfits from characters like Steve Harrington, Eddie Munson, Dustin Henderson (an underrated fashion icon), and more, showcasing how these styles reflect the 80s culture and nostalgia. The discussion also touches on our excitement surrounding new merchandise and collectibles, as we get ready for season 5!

hawkins horrors
Happy Summer-ween! We might be a little late to this celebration but just go with it… because Meghan and Stacy are back and joined by Matt Gilbert – an author, movie nerd, and lover of all things spooky. Matt’s new junior novelization of Stranger Things’ first season just released at the beginning of the month and we loved getting to chat with him about that and the other tie-in books he’s published, including Hawkins Horrors: A Collection of Terrifying Tales and the Hawkins Middle School/Hawkins High School Yearbook. Our conversation covers how Matt got started writing licensed television tie-in books for several well-loved franchises (starting with the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles), the joys and challenges of his writing process, the resurgence of novelizations and how they can be instrumental in encouraging kids to read, and the concept of gateway horror. Matt and Stacy seriously nerd out over movies and snacks, and of course we dig into Matt’s thoughts on Stranger Things, including his hopes and predictions for season 5.
