Perry was so impressed that he even helped develop the remix
Scenario
In 1980s Indiana, a group of young friends witness supernatural forces and secret government exploits. As they search for answers, the kids uncover a series of extraordinary mysteries. Steve Perry, former lead singer of Journey, has said that the Stranger Things season 4 remix of Journey’s 1980s hit “Separate Ways (Worlds Apart)” was done pretty much the way he originally wanted it to be in the 1980s, but it lacked the technology.
If you’re transmitting and someone else is transmitting, you won’t hear them
In several episodes, people are seen “interrupting” someone who is talking on a two-way or CB radio – that is, one person is talking/transmitting, and another person transmits to interrupt, and then the other person hears the interruption and stops transmitting. This has been done several times on the kids’ CB radios and on radios used by the police. These radios – the CB and police radios from the show’s era – don’t work like that.
Eleven: Friends don’t lie
The opening titles and fonts for Stranger Things mimic the film grain and look of the opening credits of 1980s TV shows. Featured in FoundFlix: Stranger Things (2016) Ending Explanation + Season 2 Clues (2016). Stranger Things (Title Sequence & Ending Theme) Written and performed by Kyle Dixon and Michael Stein.
It’s quite an intense, completely absorbing drama, the kind of show you can’t help but binge-watch
I’m one of those people who was put off by the idea that this was a children’s drama, based on the advertising you’d swear it was meant for an after-school broadcast at 4pm, the reality is far from that. Growing up in the 80s, I can appreciate the attention to detail that went into the production, it’s like they went back in time and filmed it live, it’s incredibly well done. I love the music, it’s so fitting, it takes me back to the wonderful 80s shows.
It’s like The Goonies meets The Quatermass Experiment
The quality is there in both seasons, I love the build-up and tension that abounds in the first. Whether they’re exploring the stars, escaping dystopias or making the world a better place, these women are the stuff of science fiction.
