Summary
It’s May 12, 1985, and 14-year-olds Will Byers and Mike Wheeler are spending the afternoon in the Byers’ kitchen—scrapbooking, sipping milkshakes, and arguing about movies like it’s an Olympic sport. Will’s taste leans toward the creepy (Evil Dead, Poltergeist), while Mike’s living in a galaxy far, far away (Star Wars, Empire Strikes Back). But when Mike shows up with a handwritten list—and a not-so-subtle excuse to see Will again—the banter turns flirty, the breath mints get shared, and a cursed movie list becomes something a little more magical. A nostalgic, soft, and hilariously awkward rom-com set in the glow of VHS tapes, glitter tape, and first kisses.
