• The Girl with the 011 Tattoo
    Apr 5 2026

    SPOILER ALERT FOR THE WHOLE SHOW (and also Wicked: For Good, and Loki - we promise that's it)

    Lauren and Joel are turning this one all the way up to Eleven—because it’s their 11th episode, and who better to celebrate than Hawkins’ own telekinetic queen? In this supercharged deep dive, they explore her backstory, stacked strengths and glaring weaknesses, plus 11 of her best moments in Stranger Things. They speculate about Eleven’s fate before an “11:11 Make-A-Wish” lightning round. Friends don’t lie, so leggo of that Eggo, grab a seat (even if it's in the nosebleeds), and tune in to Camp Know Where—brought to you by WSQK: The Squawk, broadcasting straight from the rightside up of the Upside Down.
