In this episode of Cubbie Chats, Cubbie and HannahSarah sit down with the multi-talented Gabriella Pizzolo – a Stranger Things fan-favorite known for her unforgettable role as Suzie, the genius with a passion for saving the world and singing "The NeverEnding Story."
We dive into Gabriella's behind-the-scenes memories from Stranger Things, including how she landed the iconic duet with Dustin, filming without context, and her love for the chaos and charm of Suzie’s scenes. She shares her early Broadway roots, her time in Matilda and Fun Home, and how her friendships with fellow castmates like Sadie Sink and Caleb McLaughlin started long before Hawkins.
PLUS: Gabriella reveals her dream crossover role — Suzie and Dustin starring together in Little Shop of Horrors! (Yes, we’re officially campaigning to make it happen.)
We also chat about Pretty Little Liars: Original Sin, the emotional intensity of her role as Angela Waters, her theater dreams, and the power of storytelling across stage and screen.
Whether you're a Stranger Things nerd, a Broadway baby, or both — this one’s for you.

In this episode of Cubbie Chats with Cubbie and HannahSarah, we explore the power and persistence of Star Wars — how a franchise that began nearly 50 years ago still dominates pop culture, and why Hayden Christensen has emerged as its most beloved face in 2025.
From his rocky prequel reception to his triumphant return in Obi-Wan Kenobi and Ahsoka, we break down what makes Christensen’s Anakin Skywalker/Vader arc so compelling to fans old and new. We also discuss how Star Wars continues to recycle and reframe its legacy characters while struggling to let go of its past — and why audiences keep coming back.
