- TriviaAlthough E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial (1982) is referenced throughout the first season, the allusions to the film are at their most prominent in "The Weirdo on Maple Street". The Duffer Brothers (Matt Duffer and Ross Duffer) have said: "Just as E.T. is about the connection between E.T. and Elliot, The Weirdo on Maple Street is about the connection between Eleven (Millie Bobby Brown) and Mike (Finn Wolfhard)." In the film, Elliot feigns illness to stay home from school and be with E.T. He shows E.T. his toys, including Star Wars figures. Mike does exactly the same, showing her his Yoda figurine. When alone, Eleven explores the Wheeler house, becoming mesmerized by the television; E.T. did the same in Elliot's home.
- GoofsWhile it is true that for most of the 20th century AT&T had a monopoly on the telecommunications industry and it's also true that customers could not buy their own phones, they had to rent them from Bell Systems, a telecommunications company owned by AT&T. However the federal government finally broke up the AT&T monopoly on January 8, 1982. After that customers could start buying their own phones. So as this show takes place in November of 1983, after the power surge Joyce would of needed to buy a new phone as Bell Systems no longer rented them out to customers.

Featured review
It's Not Nice To Call Someone A Weirdo!
Episode 2 continues the story, still moving a little slowly, we do get a glimpse into the background of Eleven, and some explanation of why she is how she is. Mike shows how he is the leader of the boy's party and expands into his role of Eleven's protector.
Hopper is now taking very seriously the disappearance of Will, although he still has no clue as to what is really going on. The laid-back, uncaring Hopper of episode 1, is getting pushed farther into the background.
Nancy convinces Barb to go to a party at Steve's house, and Barb ends up disappearing somehow.
