– The exploding rats in the abandoned mill feels like a riff on “Graveyard Shift,” Stephen King’s 1970 short story about mutating rats in a forgotten sub-basement waiting to devour poor bastards. – The Hawkins Post editors are kicking around an idea on Iran, no doubt focusing on the attempted release of American hostages in Lebanon in 1985, but it almost felt like an accidental homage to current events. – Other great music cues in this episode include the Stray Cats “Rock This Town,” Cutting Crew’s “(I Just) Died in Your Arms,” The Cars’ immortal “Moving in Stereo,” and the insufferable, miserably awful garbage that is “I Can’t Fight This Feeling” by REO Speedwagon.
STRANGER THINGS 3 DVD PLUS
Plus some Stranger Things viewers might be wishing the same thing for Hopper and Joyce rather than for Bob himself. Interestingly, Bob is shown in a flashback lamenting the breakup of Cheers’ starcrossed couple, Sam and Diane, wishing they would “just get back together again already,” but 1984 was only the start of the famous break-up in season 2. – Poor Joyce Byers has to watch Cheers by herself and is missing Bob Newby.
STRANGER THINGS 3 DVD MOVIE
This doesn’t mean Billy is referencing that, the show is, Billy wouldn’t know about Stand by Me because that movie wasn’t released until 1986. It’s a deliberate reference to the infamous pie eating contest in Stand by Me. – Billy calling that poor kid “lard ass” is more than just a random bit of bullying, power tripping, assholery (hey, Billy could totally run for President! Yeah, yeah, “keep your politics out of my entertainment” blahblahblah…fuck you).
Karen must be on the tail end of her supply since “Coca Cola Classic” returned to shelves by summer of that year. The April 1985 marketing gimmick was famously a failure since everyone preferred the taste of the original formula. – Karen is drinking a “New Coke” poolside as she waits for Billy’s appearance. Are the “Save Downtown” flyers a nod to “Save the Clock Tower” from Back to the Future? – Radio Shack being out of business feels like a meta joke.
– The inclusion of Jake Busey just has to be a nod to Gary Busey, who was doing his “best work” in the ‘80s, right? Stranger Things Season 2 premieres on Netflix on October 27.– Dustin compares his mythical Suzie to Phoebe Cates, which any boy of the ‘80s could you tell you is high praise after Fast Times at Ridgemont High.
(Get ready for a bunch of nerds in Eleven costumes!) After more than a year of waiting, fans will finally find out what happened to Eleven, what stranger creature is inside Will Byers and whether Winona Ryder ever gets her chill back. Younger fans who prefer to stick to streaming can look forward to Stranger Things Season 2 on Halloween weekend. It all comes down to how much you're willing to spend to turn back time.) (Thankfully, the store also sells cassette players for $38 each. The cassettes are available at Urban Outfitters for $14.98 each.
STRANGER THINGS 3 DVD DOWNLOAD
Earlier this summer, the two-volume soundtrack was released on actual, working cassette tapes in addition to CD, digital download and vinyl. This is not the first time Stranger Things has traded on '80s nostalgia in its marketing. But hey, this whole show runs on '80s nostalgia, and what's symbolizes '80s nostalgia better than obsolete electronics? DVDs, meanwhile, are the technology that wiped out VHS tapes. Netflix, the studio behind Stranger Things, is the new streaming threat to the DVD industry. Comment from discussion Stranger Things continues to impress with new packaging.Īs inspired as this promotional product is, another Reddit commenter points out it's also fairly ironic.
