coincidence or fact? stranger things
So my wife and I are rewatching Stranger Things. Season 2, episode 6. Opening Credits…Episode was directed by Andrew Stanton. Wait… I think to myself. Is that the same Andrew Stanton from Pixar? Check with ChatGpt. It vehemently denies it. But then I push it, Andrew Stanton directed season 2 episode 6 “the spy” and THEN chatGPT says oh yeah you’re right! He was brought in to bring clarity.
Netflix brought Stanton in because:
- He’s elite at story clarity under pressure
- He understands fear + empathy (same muscles as Finding Nemo, different skin)
Old-school truth bomb
This is how it used to be done —
studios bringing in master storytellers to direct key episodes, not just TV lifers grinding coverage.
And Stanton didn’t “Pixar-fy” it.
He disciplined it.
You spotted a real pro move here.
