00:00Linda Hamilton!

00:02Linda Hamilton, everybody!

00:04How can we even do an interview with Linda Hamilton?

00:06It feels frankly disrespectful.

00:08Sean, you're the busiest man in Hollywood at the moment.

00:10Do you have time to be here?

00:12I thought you were knee deep in the galaxy far away.

00:14I am indeed.

00:16I literally shot Starfighter all day,

00:20put on a suit,

00:22put some shit in my hair,

00:24and raced here to be with you.

00:26To be shooting Star Wars in the day

00:30and celebrating Stranger Things at night,

00:32it is beyond any version of a career that I ever could have dreamed of.

00:36How are things going over there at the moment?

00:40I'm happy to say it's going really well.

00:44We're now over halfway through the shoot

00:46and Ryan Gosling is every bit as dreamy as I expected,

00:51but also just a dream of a collaborator.

00:54And the rest of the cast is just dope as hell.

00:58And we feel that we're really sort of doing something in a tone

01:02that is so loving of this legacy,

01:06but also very much a new story, new timeline, new characters, new adventure.

01:11I can't wait for it, man.

01:12It feels like the right amount of time has passed now

01:14where that kind of enthusiasm,

01:16that interest in other stories in that world

01:18is starting to peak once again.

01:20But let's not detract away from why we're here, Stranger Things.

01:24Talk me through kind of the experience of this feud

01:26because for a lot of these guys, a lot of these kids into adults,

01:29this has been their youth.

01:31This is growing up.

01:32But you've had all these huge projects on the side outside of this world.

01:37Do you feel the same kind of the loss that these guys must be going through now

01:41when it comes to an end?

01:42I mean, look, there were none of us at that final table read

01:47who weren't tear soaked.

01:50And it has been a huge part of our lives.

01:53It's been 10 years.

01:54Now, for the kids, it's been the defining, formative influence

01:58of their still very new life.

02:01It's been half their lives.

02:02For myself, for the Duffers, you know, it's maybe not half our lives,

02:07but it is the defining chapter of our careers.

02:10You guys feel like proud parents in a way to see what kind of actors and people these guys have felt.

02:14Yeah, and not just proud parents of these kids and these young actors,

02:18but proud parents of this show.

02:20Like, we took something that the world did not expect,

02:25did not know what to make of it.

02:26When I read the Duffers script, I didn't know that it would be a hit.

02:30I didn't sign up for any strategic reasons.

02:33I just needed to be a part of it because I knew it was special

02:37and I wanted to help get it into the world.

02:39And finally, it's been a bit of pandemonium here.

02:42There have been a lot of interviews with, you know,

02:44the people who've just come and want to see you guys

02:46and kind of celebrate the end of the series.

02:48And every time there's been an interview, all I've said is,

02:50I hope X person doesn't die.

02:52I hope this person doesn't die.

02:54How disappointed are we going to be in this season?

02:57Are we expecting a bloodbath or what?

02:58Brother, if I answered you, I am so going to give something away.

03:02So you're getting nothing from me on that one.

03:04But thanks for asking.

03:05I'm looking forward to it anyway, man.

03:06Take care of yourself.

03:07Thanks chatting.
