One of the most unexpected things to come out Season 2 of Stranger Things was the unlikely partnership between Steve and Dustin. It was like a ’80s buddy cop movie viewers never knew they wanted. Complete with a spiked baseball bat!

Having hair that just won’t quit isn’t all he had to put up with.
Joe Keery (a.k.a. Steve from Stranger Things) appeared as a guest on Late Night with Seth Meyers and talked about how he prepared for the role.
Not only did Keery get into shape because he was told the character of Steve was a swimmer — only to have that detail cut — but he also didn’t care for the ’80s fashion he had to sport. Specifically the tight jeans.
“You’re having to duck and you’re running around,” he explains, “but you’re trapped.”

Stranger Things MVP Jim Hopper is many things — Police chief, chain-smoker, Jim Croce enthusiast, goofy dancer, dad/daddy, one half of TV’s hottest ship, our unabashed fave — but however you choose to define him, the root of our obsession can be traced back to the man who plays him, David Harbour, who is, if anything, even more entertaining than his iconic character.
Harbour readily admits, “I’m an old person, so I don’t really know what a meme is,” but ever since Stranger Things 2 debuted, he’s consistently been winning the internet (and our hearts) through his playful fan interactions, self-deprecating Instagram throwbacks and willingness to provide us with Joyce/Hopper fanfiction.

Spoiler warning: This post contains plot details for Stranger Things 2.
Stranger Things is built on mysteries, but there’s no character quite as inexplicable or poorly defined as Billy Hargrove, the aggressive bad boy who spends most of Season 2 terrorizing Max, Lucas, and Steve, for reasons that are never fully explained beyond him being a walking villainous cliché.
Billy’s antagonism towards Max and Lucas is fairly easy to interpret: Max is his stepsister, and he’s clearly resentful about being forced to babysit her. Lucas is black, and Billy’s dad is an abusive, bigoted prick, so it wouldn’t be hard to imagine that his backwards ideas have rubbed off on his son — although the show is oddly squeamish about overtly addressing it as racism, which is especially weird considering that the writers are not squeamish about having a musclebound 17-year-old trying to beat the crap out of a nerdy 13-year-old.
