The fourth season of Stranger Things is set to premiere on Netflix on 27 May, 2022. Ever since it has premiered, the show has been known to give homage to several thriller-horror movies from Hollywood, including The Goonies and ET. The Quint spoke to the cast of the show, and asked them which of these tributes were their favourite.

Caleb McLaughlin, aka Lucas, said that for him, that movie would be Stand By Me.
