Nancy is getting jerked around by the guys who work at the Hawkins Post including Jake Busey’s character as she’s nothing more than a glorified errand girl. More and more rats are now starting to congregate at the steel mill and Karen Wheeler is planning a midnight rendezvous with that ol’ scamp Billy. Hopper hates that Elle and Mike are hooking up and consults Joyce about it and during that, Dustin has invented a super HAM radio and him and the other kids are setting up the antenna on a hill so he can talk to his “girlfriend” Suzie who lives in Utah. This also includes our first appearance of the iconic New Coke which you need to read all about in my article here. We also get the shot of the pool that we’ve already seen from the trailers and the older cougars ogling young Billy. The kids have all surprised him with Eleven controlling a bunch of toy robots to surprise him where Dustin ends up spraying Lucas with the Farah Fawcett hairspray. Where Was Dustin?Įveryone has seen this in the trailer but Dustin has been away at a computer camp called “Camp Know Where” and he comes home upset that no one has been responding to him.
We get a great usage of “Working For A Living” by Huey Lewis and the News here too. While this is happening Nancy and Jonathan are in a rush to work and turns out she’s an intern at the Hawkins Post. This magnetic issue will obviously be significant as we see pictures that have fallen from fridge magnets in the home of Joyce Byers. Will has also had his Spidey sense tingle knowing that something is up. While this is happening we get a sense that there is some electromagnetic issue seen in the local steel mill while a bunch of rats congregates nearby.
#Stranger things season 2 episode 3 summary movie
The kids sneak in to see “Day of the Dead” and on their way in we see a movie poster for “Back to the Future” – finally… So this means it’s sometime after July 3, 1985, which is when it first opened.ĭuring the movie, all the power goes out and that continues through the mall and throughout all of Hawkins.
#Stranger things season 2 episode 3 summary full
The kids are on their way to a movie where they pass Lucas’ little sister and they have a nice insult exchange that seems reminiscent of “ Flight of the Navigator”.Įveryone in the mall is in full 80s fashion now and we can see a lot of the Memphis Design reflected in the style and you should check out my article all about that here.
In an awesome shot, the Starcourt Mall is revealed in all it’s 80s glory with vintage stores like the Gap portrayed nicely. Also, there’s a Bryan Adams cassette on their table upping the Canadian content factor.Ĭhief Jim Hopper is NOT impressed with the make-out sesh mind you. Next thing we know we’re seeing a shot of Mike and Eleven making out while they listen to “Never Surrender” by my fellow countryman Corey Hart – this is a nice touch. We are told they have “one year” to get things figured out. This is interesting because this is the time of the Cold War and a Russian presence really opens up the scope of Stranger Things. The laser reveals something trying to get its way out and then the whole thing basically blows up. This scene seems very “War Games” ish as there is some dual key-turning along with the entire set looking like the classic movie. This is interesting because now the idea of the Upside Down – if that’s what we’re really looking at – is a global issue, and not limited to Hawkins, Indiana. So we start out in a lab that seems like it’s the usual one we’ve seen based in Hawkins that was featured in seasons 1, and 2, but not so fast! Turns out we’re in Russia on June 28th, 1984, and they are testing a giant laser – reminiscent of the Howard The Duckmovie – and it’s able to cut into, what we assume, is the upside down. As the iconic “Every Breath You Take” by The Police plays, we see that the Mind Flayer is still very much present as the show finishes on the lyrics “you belong to me…”. When we left off season 2, the kids were at their winter “snowball” dance and everything seems fine, but of course, we know it isn’t. As we dive into the first episode don’t forget to read my preview of the season so you’re all up to speed with everything. After long anticipation, season 3 of Stranger Things is back and not a moment too soon.
