• trailer talk

  As we anxiously await a trailer for Stranger Things season 5, let’s revisit all of the trailers and teasers for the first four seasons of the show! In this episode, Stacy and Meghan begin by discussing the excitement for new Stranger Things content at the upcoming Netflix TUDUM event. We take a deep dive into the art of movie and TV trailers, sharing memorable examples and the impact they have on audience anticipation. Then we travel (upside) down memory lane, discussing the origins of the show, the clever use of music, nostalgia, and marketing in the trailers, and the darker and more complex themes of the season 4 trailers and teasers. The conversation highlights how all of the trailers effectively captured the essence of the show while building anticipation over time. Finally, we finish by sharing some of our hopes for the final trailers as we approach the bittersweet fifth season.

• back on you (djo tour recap)

  And we’re back (on you) with more Djo! In this episode, Stacy and Meghan discuss their experiences attending Joe Keery's recent tour, sharing personal stories and insights from the concerts they attended in DC, Boston, Philadelphia, and New York. We talk through our individual experiences at each show, since we weren’t at any of these tour dates together, reflecting on the joy and healing power of live music, the energy of the crowds, and the connections formed at concerts. As a heads up, Stacy discusses some health challenges and Meghan talks about the loss of a pet, as these events during the tour shaped our experiences at the shows. We also discuss memorable moments during the shows, our favorite performances, and the emotional connection Joe builds with the audience. Our conversation touches on how we are coping with post-concert blues (spoiler: there are more concert tickets involved) and all the great Djo merch available at the shows and from great small businesses and Etsy shops. Finally, we bring back the secret segment (shhh) since it’s been way too long. Don’t forget you can support our show, access bonus content, and (soon) have the chance to win some slippers from The Crux Hotel over at https://www.patreon.com/skullrockbroadcast

• it is what it is (djo mini-episode 8)

  In this conversation, Meghan and Stacy are joined by Eli for our first mini-episode since the fever dream of attending the Back on You tour this past month, to discuss the music and lyrics of Djo (also known as Joe Keery). In each episode, we discuss two Djo songs and explore the themes, interpretations of the lyrics, and our personal connections to the music. In this episode, we analyze the evolution of Djo’s music from the track BNBG on his first album all the way to the title track, Crux, from his most recent album. While these two tracks couldn’t be more different in many ways, we take a look at the common threads in the themes of companionship and love, and the emotional depth of lyrics. We also chat about the songwriting process, our recent concert experiences, and connections formed through music and community.

In this episode, Meghan and Stacy share all the hilarious details of our adventure to see Djo and Post Animal perform live in Denver. We recount the trip, from crabcakes in Maryland and The Exorcist stairs in DC, to rooftop views of the Rockies and singing along to all of our favorite songs with Joe Keery and thousands of other fans. Throughout the conversation we reflect on the importance of taking time to enjoy life amidst personal challenges, the absolute magic of live music, and the unique moments that make travel memorable.

• music is magic

  Emotional, heart-wrenching, kind of brilliant… In this special episode, Meghan and Stacy share their initial reactions to the long-anticipated new Djo album, The Crux, exploring the musical influences evident in the songs and the nostalgia it evokes. We discuss the album's journey from heartbreak to healing, the significance of friendships and family in the music, and the personal growth reflected in the lyrics. Interspersed throughout our conversation are voice memos from other Djo fans who shared their first impressions and favorite songs. Collectively, we all connected very deeply to this album, finding the themes relatable and inspiring. If you haven’t listened to Joe Keery’s third and most personal album, go check it out immediately and then tune in to this episode to hear how it resonated with fans.
