Remember to have fun

Stranger Things is one of the biggest hits in Netflix history—and it’s building toward an endgame that all involved no doubt dearly hope will cement its legacy as one of the greatest sci-fi horror series ever. But while part of that legacy is wrapped up in its big, epic, impressively special effect-laden moments, one of the show’s enduring delights its how much fun it has in the dorky, nerdy moments too. What would Stranger Things be without its loving attention to stuff like Dungeons & Dragons and The NeverEnding Story? Chug a cherry Slurpee, scarf an Eggo, and cross your fingers.
