To celebrate the start of another fun season of our podcast, and the one where we will be re-watching season 3 of Stranger Things, we decided to play a little game to find out. MASH anyone? We brought back this classic game that we played all the time as kids, and gave it a shiny Starcourt spin.

  • lover’s lake deep dive - season 2 episode 9
    Jan 24 2025

    An in-depth discussion of Chapter Nine: The Gate, the ninth episode of Season 2 of Stranger Things. This final episode of our season 2 re-watch is also the final episode of the second season of our podcast! We are so excited to finally bring you the thrilling conclusion to the most slept-on season of Stranger Things. After a quick update on the lead-up to new Djo music from Joe Keery, we pick up right where we left off last time. The emotional reunion between El and Mike is short-lived as they realize they need El to be their superhero and close the gate. Mike Wheeler once again comes through for Will as he realizes that they can’t close the gate while his friend is still connected to the Mind Flayer’s hive mind. Joyce realizes that they need to burn the virus out of her son’s body, so the group splits ways once again. El and Hopper head to the lab and the Byers family drives to the cabin with Joyce’s stockpile of electric heaters in tow. Steve is an absolute saint, telling Nancy that she should go with Jonathan and staying behind on babysitting duty. When an unexpected visitor turns up, Steve and the kids have to fight him off together before the kids get their way and drag him along to join the fight in the tunnels. The epic battle rages on as the whole party fights the monster from different angles, and Meghan and Stacy discuss their thoughts about the shadow monster, whether demo-dogs are inherently evil (RIP Dart), and the connections to season 4 in this episode.

  • lover’s lake deep dive - season 2 episode 8
    Jan 17 2025

    An in-depth discussion of Chapter Eight: The Mind Flayer, the eighth episode of Season 2 of Stranger Things. Meghan and Stacy have FINALLY made it back to Lover’s Lake and find themselves almost finished with the season 2 re-watch. We dive deep into this fantastic episode that brings all three of our groups back together to escape from monsters pouring from the lab … but not everyone makes it out alive. We talk about the heartbreaking end to one of the most pure characters in the show, Stacy admits that Mike is actually the MVP in this episode, and the demo-dogs and Mind Flayer get their names. We love how stressed-out Steve and “voice of reason” Max finally find themselves a real part of the team in this episode.

  • lover’s lake deep dive - season 2 episode 7
    Dec 13 2024
    An in-depth discussion of Chapter Seven: The Lost Sister, the seventh episode of Season 2 of Stranger Things. What do you do when you get to the most controversial episode of the series? Make it into a drinking game, of course! Whether you love or hate The Lost Sister, we guarantee you’ll have a blast watching it like we did (if you’re 21 or over, of course). In this episode, Meghan and Stacy dive deep into the infamous episode where Eleven finds her long-lost sister Eight, and Kali’s band of punk misfits. We also recount the evening we spent watching the episode and playing the game that Stacy came up with. This episode is full of laughs, theories, and so many Star Wars references. We critique the episode but also find plenty to appreciate about it, too. We finish out the episode talking about avoiding spoilers for season 5, lots of new merch ahead of the holidays, and a long-overdue reading update (double-check our podcast rating before tuning in to that part today).
