- Even when we don't want to be around each other,
we are around each other.
- Yeah, it's so true, actually.
- So then, when we don't want to be around each other,
we miss each other.
It's weird. It's like,
I will never not wanna be around them, you know?
Even though, if I end up not liking them,
I'll still love them.
- Word.
- It is like that.
It fully is like that if you-
- It sounds bad, but-
- No, no, no, it's true.
We literally see each other in our, like, worst moments.
- [Sadie] Oh yeah!
- We've all seen each other in our worst moments.
- Why did you look at me when you said that?
[Crosstalk]
- Literally, everyone was like, "Yeah! This guy!"
- Yeah! Yeah!
- No, no, no, no, no.
- Worst moments!
- We're the cast of 'Stranger Things,' and today,
we're gonna talk about our worst moments.
[Gaten laughing]
- Hi, MTV News. We're the cast of 'Stranger Things,'
and we're here to list our top 5 behind-the-scenes moments
from 'Stranger Things 4.'
- One of my favorite behind-the-scenes moments
is when they brought ice pops in
on that really, really, hot day.
- [Caleb] Mmm.
- The ants.
- Oh, the ants!
- I have a great photo from that day.
- Really?
- Yeah. Our first AD, Tudor [Jones], is, like,
holding a Popsicle.
'Cause you had this idea where, like,
"What if we made a trail of Popsicle juice?"
So the ants-
- To get the ants away so we weren't getting bit.
- [Sadie] Yeah.
- But that probably just made it worse, right?
- No!
- [Finn] Oh, it worked?
- [Gaten] It didn't.
- There was, like, ant spray that they used.
- Oh, right.
- That probably would have worked.
- Was it for later in the season?
Like, what episode was it for?
Do you remember what we were shooting?
- [Sadie] The graveyard.
- [Finn] Oh, yeah. The graveyard stuff, yeah.
- It was kind of a rough day, I remember.
But the ice pops made it like...
[gasps]
- My favorite memory from Season 4 was when we were shooting
in New Mexico.
We had to do this, like, one-take action sequence that
took a lot of planning, and bullets were flying.
- [Caleb] Oh, I know what you're talking about.
- And you know, we had to duck,
and, like, glass was breaking,
but, like, we only had three chances at it.
And there was a take where
everything was just going perfect.
It was just perfect, like-
Everything was going great.
Like, we're all just in the rhythm.
It's so great.
And what's supposed to happen at the end of the scene
is we're supposed to run in this house,
and then a soldier's supposed to come in and get shot,
and then shoot his gun up in the air.
And that's kind of the end of the scene.
But what happened was, like, there's 50 seconds,
like, a whole minute before that, of stuff
before the scene ends.
So it's like, OK, we got through all the hard stuff.
Now, all we need to do is the soldier just needs to run in,
and fake death, and that's it.
And so we do everything, and we get there,
and then the camera whips to the door,
and the soldier is not there.
[Gaten groans and laughs]
And we're all sitting on the floor and we're like,
"Oh my god, dude, we just did all that for nothing!"
Like, everything is, we have to do-
- That's your favorite memory?!
- No, no, it's coming.
- OK.
- I was like, "We have to do this again.
We have to do this again. That sucks."
We're all on the ground, like, heavy breathing,
and then all of a sudden, they cut. Forty seconds later,
a door gets kicked in,
and the stunt guy's like [groans].
[Gaten laughing]
And then he shoots his gun up in the air,
and then like, pretends to die, and then lays down all dead.
And then no one says anything.
Everyone's just looking at each other like-
[Gaten laughing]
And then he got up and he was like,
"I think that went well!"
[all laughing]
- The one that just really stands out to me
from Season 4 is-
It was a night shoot. We were in the middle of the woods.
It was
us three.
And I think it was probably like 5:30 a.m.
We've been shooting all night.
- [Gaten] Oh, I think I know what memory
you're talking about!
- And then I just,
I'm napping in my chair, and then I hear, like,
the morning birds.
And, like, there's a little bit of light on the horizon,
and I open my eyes, and Caleb and Gaten are just sitting
across from me in dead silence.
Just like, staring ahead,
eating a full-size quesadilla.
Like, a chicken quesadilla.
[all laughing]
At 5:30 a.m.!
- Going to town!
- [Sadie] In silence!
- [Caleb] All you hear is [mimics Chewing].
- And I don't know why. That just, like,
it put me over the edge.
I was like, "I'm going back to sleep."
- If I woke up like that,
I don't know what I'd do!
- It was so disorienting.
They were just like, in silence, just like-
- I can't swear, I'm so sorry!
- It was really good. I remember that day, too.
'Cause I remember you waking up, and I was like-
Maybe you remember, but it was with Mason [Dye].
- [Sadie] In, like, the final episode?
- [Caleb] Yeah. Final episode.
Something that we're doing that I can't talk about.
But, it's, like-
- Yes! [laughing]
I was trying to figure out what the line was that you-.
- Yeah, and I was like, "Nyehh."
[Gaten laughing]
Maybe some of that.
And I was supposed to do something,
but I was just like, making a sound.
I was like "Nyehh," and-
- It was, like, a very panicked scene-
- Were you saying a line and you forgot the line?
- Is was a very-
No! But, I just-
It sounded like, I was like "Nyehh!"
And he kept like, laughing.
[Gaten laughing]
And it was just, it was a running joke.
So every time we had to do that scene, oh man!
- You two were so fun together, though.
- Yeah, yeah.
- Oh! And I used to-
Remember I used to make him-
- You would like, pick him up, like-
- Yeah! Just-
- Just spin him around.
Yes.
[Gaten laughing]
- Yeah, that was funny.
- Lastly, our favorite memory from set from Season 4
was just getting to be all together.
But I feel like we're always split up.
I just liked, in the first episode, like, all of us
actually getting to, like, have scenes together
in the high school.
Like, that was just the best.
That scene in the first episode
where, like, you turn around and
you're telling us that we should be cool,
or whatever.
That's not a spoiler.
Well, whatever.
But there's a scene in the hallway.
There's a scene, like, that we do in high school.
And I remember just like, really loving doing it.
- It's incredible work. [inaudible]
- [Finn] Just being together was really nice.
You savor those moments, because in the first season,
all of our scenes are together-
- [All] Yeah!
- [Gaten] It's so weird to have the separation.
- [Finn] And then it's just, like,
a treat when all you all get to hang out.
Like it's the O.G.
- [Gaten] It feels like the old days.
- Yeah.
- I think something that makes our relationship
so special is
when we're in-between seasons,
it's, you know,
we don't have to talk all the time,
and, like, we can go a long time without seeing each other,
but we know that we're either gonna be doing press,
or going back for a new season.
So after Season 5, for that to be it,
and there not being like, a set date
for when we can see each other again-
- Now is the time you have to, like, actually make an effort
to be in each other's lives.
- I know.
- I think, like, all of Season 5,
I'm gonna just hang out with everyone every day.
- [Finn] Yeah, that's how I felt, too.
- Yeah, me too.
- I'm gonna milk it.
- [Finn] (laughs) Yeah, milk it for all it's worth.
- We get off at 2 a.m.: "Hey, who's hanging out?"
"Where are we goin'?"
"What are we doing?"
