Trivia
The cassette tape that Eddie grabs is Iron Maiden's "Piece of Mind," which was released on May 16, 1983. The band responded favorably to their inclusion in the scene, posting "We're with you, Eddie!" to their various social media accounts along with a still image of the scene.

Goofs
In 1986, no one would say they "typed" the phone number wrong. They would say they "dialed" the number wrong even if it was a push button phone.

[9.5] Papa

Spoiler Free Zone!!!

I just have to say WOW. The quality of the series has drastically improved. I was left speechless with my jaw on the floor at the end. The Duffer Brothers have created another masterpiece episode, with all of the characters nailing their performances.

They better give some awards especially to Sadie and Millie because they frickin carried the episode with their amazing acting skills.

This is indeed the beginning of the end.
