Stranger Things Episodes Edited On Netflix
The co-creators of Stranger Things have confirmed they have gone back to edit past episodes of the show. They described the episodes as having been “George Lucas-ed.”
Speaking to Variety, Matt and Ross Duffer said they weren’t going to reveal details of the edits to past seasons but noted obsessive fans could find them by comparing the DVD and Blu-ray releases with the current Netflix editions.
The subject came up as the pair confirmed post-release changes to the current season. They said some visual effects have been improved since the shows hit Netflix, a process they described as “patching in shots.”
They also said they’ll likely go back to edit an episode in Season 2 where Joyce establishes Will’s birthday as March 22. That caused a continuity error in the latest season – spotted by fans – in which a camcorder timestamp shows a scene takes place on the date but there’s no mention of Will’s birthday. (No spoilers, but it wouldn’t be the happiest of celebrations.)
The Duffers say it was a genuine oversight on their part, but that it makes no narrative sense that the characters – including Joyce — would all have forgotten. They believe the simplest solution would be to ret-con with a sound dub on the Season 2 scene, most likely changing “March” to “May”.

Adventure and Missile Command Cartridges Return
Atari games Missile Command and Adventure are getting an unlikely re-release. The “new” editions cartridges will be collectible items but will also work on original Atari 2600 consoles.
The two games are the latest in the “Atari XP” collectible line and are being released now to mark the company’s 50th anniversary. Previous releases included Aquaventure, Saboteur and Yars’ Return. A further eight games are scheduled for similar re-releases this year, though the titles haven’t been confirmed.
Both the new releases cost $99.99 and include the playable cartridge (with new custom artwork), a custom stand, and a collectible pin and patch.
Atari is also marking the anniversary by adding a series of “Recharged” versions 2600-era games to the Google Stadia platform including Asteroids, Breakout, Black Widow and Centipede. Unlike with the XP cartridges, this line includes major gameplay tweaks such as power-ups, co-op and new soundtracks.
