Did You Know?
| Trivia | Steve Perry, former lead vocalist for Journey, has said that the Stranger Things season 4 remix of Journey's 1980s smash hit Separate Ways (Worlds Apart) was done pretty much the way he originally wanted it done in the 1980s, but lacked the technology. Perry was so impressed that he even helped with the development of the remix. See more » |
| Goofs | During a number of episodes, people are seen 'interrupting' someone talking on a two way radio or CB - that is, one person is talking/transmitting, and another person transmits to interrupt them, and then the other person hears this interruption and stops transmitting. This was done a few times on the kid's CB radios, and on the radios used by the police. Those radios - the CB and the police radios of the era from the show - don't work like that. If you are transmitting, and someone else transmits, you will not hear them. See more » |
