Perry was so impressed that he even helped create the remix
Plot
In 1980s Indiana, a group of young friends witness supernatural forces and secret government operations. As they search for answers, the kids uncover a series of extraordinary mysteries. Steve Perry, former lead singer of the band Journey, said that Stranger Things Season 4’s remix of Journey’s 1980s smash hit “Separate Ways” (Worlds Apart) came out pretty much as he had originally intended it to be in the 1980s, but the technology was lacking. Many episodes feature people “interrupting”; someone is talking on a two-way radio, or CB—that is, one person is talking/sending while another person transmits to interrupt them, and the other person hears the interruption and stops sending.
Eleven: Friends Don’t Lie
This has been done several times on children’s CB radios and police radios. Those radios—CBs and the police radios from the show from that era—don’t work like that. If you’re transmitting and someone else is transmitting, you won’t hear them. The opening titles and fonts of Stranger Things mimic the brightness and look of the opening credits of the 1980s TV series.
FoundFlix: Stranger Things (2016) “Ening Explained” + “Season 2 Clues” (2016)
Stranger Things (title sequence and end credits theme) Written & performed by Kyle Dixon & Michael Stein. Story-wise, there’s no reason for Stranger Things to take place in the 1980s. But the 1980s vibe—ringing phones, chain smoking, Winona Ryder—is there to inspire this film, which is pretty much every supernatural 1980s movie that focuses on kids. E.T., Poltergeist, that kind of thing.
What’s amazing is that this homage is dead
It’s not just the clothes and the hair, it’s the acting style, the way the script is written, the structure – it’s all a source of inspiration. You have young, irreverent kids, depraved, distrustful teenagers, a monster, a mysterious, powerful, evil people in science and/or government, a conflicted investigator, a tearful mother. You could argue that this whole season is just a pastiche made up of recycled elements, and I wouldn’t agree, but it certainly doesn’t feel like a copy, but like something from that era, as if the writers had been in a coma in 1985, woke up, and got to work. While it doesn’t have the high-brow style of Spielberg’s films, which are a major influence, it has a likability.
The story is consistently engaging and entertaining, the acting is great, and the film has enough laughs and tears
