Stranger Things: S3. Ch1. Suzie, Do You Copy?

(Note: Both this episode and the next were recorded before we knew the podcast was ending. Unfortunately there will only be one more episode airing after this.) The new Starcourt mall has the town of Hawkins buzzing, yet something sinister lurks underneath. Join Sarah and Lea as they discuss costuming, Mike and El's infatuation with one another, Hopper's rage (justified or no?), Billy and Karen's impending sexual rendezvous, and more!

Cross-country moves, job changes, life changes, and more...sadly, the time has come for Sarah and Lea to hang up their headphones and put away their podcasting mics. Listen as they share some life updates, discuss what the podcast has meant to them, and say their farewells. 

What was the standout storyline for the season? How does season two compare with season one? What does Lea remember about season three? Join Sarah and Lea as they discuss their overall thoughts for season two, read listener's thoughts, and discuss their thoughts on the upcoming seasons. 

Babysitting, exorcisms, monstrous wombs, the snowball..it's the exciting season 2 finale! Join Sarah and Lea as they discuss Steve's new development, El's female rage, and whatever the hell that was between Billy and Karen!

The lab gets put into lockdown with a Demodog attack, Will struggles to break the Mind Flayer's hold on him, and tragedy strikes a member of the group. Join Sarah, Lea, and guest Robbie as they discuss behind the scenes of the lab show down, Billy's new development and Dacre's view on it, the continued subversions on the teen characters, the decisions behind *that* death, and more!

Determined to learn more about her sister from the lab, Eleven/Jane makes her way to Chicago where she meets Kali and her band of misfits. Join Sarah, Lea, and Tony as they discuss the significance of the urban setting, El's moral dilemma, behind the scenes facts, and their personal feelings on Stranger Things' most hated episode. Listen to Tony and his co-host Dave recap Buffy the Vampire Slayer over at All Bronze, No Brains!

Lucas and Max meet up with Dustin and Steve to try to capture Dart, Jonathan and Nancy take a huge step in their relationship, and Joyce, Hopper, Bob, and Mike try to figure out what's wrong with Will at the Lab. Join Sarah, Lea, and guests Courtney and Brandon as they discuss the Dustin and Steve dynamic, the symbolism behind Nancy and Jonathan sleeping together, and Will's predicament being an analogy for the AIDS epidemic of the 80's.  Listen to Courtney and Brandon recap Buffy and Angel over on Revamped

While Dustin frantically tries to find someone to help him with his Demogorgon situation, Mike, Will, and Joyce enlist Bob's help to save Hopper, Nancy and Jonathan reach out to an investigative journalist, and El finds her mom. Join Sarah, Lea, and guest host Jess, as they discuss the surprising director for the episode, hyper-reality and the 80's, Noah Schnapp's incredible acting, and the episode's central theme that the manner in which truth is communicated is just as important as the truth itself, and how this is a matured version of the kids' motto: friends don't lie.  Check out Jess' podcast, "Re-Witched: A Charmed Rewatch Podcast" here

Will starts exhibiting weird behavior, Joyce and Hopper make a breakthrough, and Dustin discovers that Dart is not quite as innocent as he first believed.
