series is set in the 1980s so naturally, period references abound. Most fun, the two leads are 1980s icons, Matthew Modine and Winona Ryder, who play an evil scientist and a desperate mom. What’s more fun is spotting ’80s references embedded in the show’s structure: The opening credits’ typeface evokes Charlie’s Angels circa 1981. With your lover boy, from Risky Business?”Brainy high schooler Nancy (Natalia Dyer) is acting skittish. Even the show’s creators, the Duffer brothers (twins Matt and Ross), are period: they were born in 1984.
