holy moly I use to go to that mall everyday as a kid, amazing to see it used in my favorite show. Sad to see it go dead.

[@TheDuoFinds]

Yea malls are becoming extinct :/ Hopefully it’ll bounce back a bit from it being featured on the show.

He looks like Dustin and acts like him !

[@TheDuoFinds]

Haha! We met Sean Astin (Bob from season 2) at Indiana Comic Con last year and he said that Matt was the grown up version of Dustin. Fun stuff! Thanks for watching and commenting!

[@nickmcelroy9787]

Aww man wish I new y'all were here I live about 10minutes from the arcade and police station we could had grabbed a bite at varsity in Atl!!

[@TheDuoFinds]

We will be back. We’ve been coming down to ATL about once a year to do The Walking Dead filming locations. We want to come back and do Zombieland locations. Follow us on Instagram and Facebook for more timely updates. We are trying to plan some more meet ups🤗

[@PixelGameSquad]

I'm so jelly!!

[@TheDuoFinds]

Duder, you have to make the pilgrimage to “Hawkins, Indiana” if you’re a fan of the show! Totally worth the trip. 🤘

[@rdt1025]

I don’t think season 3 comes out until July 4th. Great video. You might be getting a postcard from me.

[@TheDuoFinds]

Yup July 4th! We didn’t know when this would come out so we just filmed it like that. We figured we’d post it the week it came out but we were early! Haha. Ok nice! We haven’t checked to PO Box in awhile so we will head over this weekend! 😜

[@BenLaurence]

So I caved and finally watched Stranger Things and immediately came to check out your video!! The mall looks so sick, they could totally turn it into some kind of 80s time capsule mall or something! It would be wicked popular! Can’t believe they kicked you out 🙄 it always passes me off when security guards act like your some kind of criminal, I get they literally have nothing else better to do but come on relax a little 😂

[@MyGhoulishAdventures]

You're awesome for capturing this. Well done my traveling pals!

[@TheDuoFinds]

Thanks a lot!

[@HEYMANWITHJAYMAN]

At 2:21 DIG DUG was my game back in the 80's! Cre80s is doing the '86ed series & you got '86ed out the mall...LOL. Nailed it tho on all the locations....pretty rad!

[@TheDuoFinds]

Dude! Nice eye on Dig Dug. 😂 Cre80s is making getting ‘86d fun!

[@beatrizmarin4742]

But it would be so cool if you are one of the people who attends the actual school because just to know where you go to school everyday actually had a show filmed inside of it

[@EminenceFrontX5]

My review of this fine video. Most excellent! Nice work in total in post! I didnt feel rushed but at a nice pace this time.

[@TheDuoFinds]

Nice, Thank you! Still trying to find the sweet spot. It helps when we aren’t rushed while filming and can do a few takes to iron out what we say. We felt rushed at the Mall but the footage outside helped to minimize that feeling in the that part of the video. 🤘

[@TheDuoFinds]

We had to cut the intro music.... We thought it was copy right free. It said it was in the description. Turns out it wasn’t! Lessoned learned!

[@Yeetin_Peas]

As always, you guys rock. Super cool locations and Stranger Things is awesome!!!! Loved the video!

[@TheDuoFinds]

Thank you so much! Really appreciate that! 🤗

[@meezzy-bot1949]

I graduated from Patrick Henry highschool (Hawkins middle school) back in 2014. The the Tiger is the mascot for the town and its cool that they kept that in. Patrick Henry was a alternative school for the bad kids.

[@TheDuoFinds]

Very awesome they kept the mascot! Thanks for the info!

[@MichaelsExplorations]

This was super awesome thanks for sharing love that show and miss the 80s

[@TheDuoFinds]

Absolutely! Thanks for watching. We miss aspects of the 80's but not the ENTIRE thing, haha!

It was such a cool video, I loved it!!

[@tthz.7]

it would of been sooo cool if u saw scoops ahoy. GREAT VIDEO THOUGH❤️❤️❤️

[@TheDuoFinds]

OMG! We wanted too!

[@ThePodcastStudioMiltonKeynes]

This is awesome! But honestly, one thing i have noticed from alllll of the Stranger things location videos here on youtube is.... most of the places havent just been vacated, most have been completely ripped down inside, like interiors destroyed, outside redone or returned to normal, sold on to new companies. Also, Most of the buildings have been put back up for sale this time. They wasnt before, they were kept by the production company, so they could use them however they want whenever they want. Even two of the houses that the kids and families lived in have gone up for sale to actual residents now :( As a filmmaker myself who has worked on a few Okish size projects, I can tell you know, consistency, set design, continuity, are all massive MASSIVELY important. Sorry to say it but If there is a series 4 then it highly likely wont feature the lab, starcourt, the arcade, the school, which lets face it... is all the places we have come to love! I dont think there will be a ST series 4!

[@TheDuoFinds]

Hey thanks for watching! And for leaving a freaking great comment! All of your points make sense. But a few things to think about. Netflix doesn’t have to money of larger studios, one of the reasons they picked the small towns to film in. And what if season 4 doesn’t feature Hawkins at all? What if they go to Russia is some wired upside down portal? The location for Hawkins lab was only used for exteriors and the little bit of the hallway scene where Bob gets killed in S2. Those epic interiors of equipment and the upside down are on a sound stage. What if they have enough B Roll of the outsides of the buildings they don’t need to use them anymore? Are the interiors of the houses they show filmed at the actual house locations? Most likely not. Hop’s cabin in S3 is a real cabin. They do escape rooms there but it was only used for exterior shots and the inside looks nothing like what they show. All of the interior stuff was a sound stage.

[@ThePodcastStudioMiltonKeynes]

IT LITERALLY JUST GOT ANNOUNECED IM SO SORRY HAHAHA

[@AimlessAdventuresVlog]

Great vid y'all! Filming locations are always the hardest for various reasons but they're so rewarding when it all comes together.

[@TheDuoFinds]

Thanks Chris! You have to do your homework before hand to line up shots etc. And you’re right, when everything falls into place... it’s most definitely worth it!

[@obergruppenfulmer7157]

Really enjoyed the vlog. One of my favorite parts was the paused jumping high five between you two. Definitely going to be binge watching Stranger Things on July 4th...those will be my version of fireworks. Keep up the great work.

[@TheDuoFinds]

Depending on how many episodes we will try and finish it up that day! Lol 😂😂😂

[@norabeers3764]

I love to visit film locations! You always seem to have so much fun in all of your videos. Watching your videos keeps a smile on my face. Since you are in Georgia are you going back to any of TWD locations. Have you ever been to Wounded Knee? That would be an interesting place to go (but sad).

[@TheDuoFinds]

It’s the best when they look similar too! 😜 We are doing a TWD video as well. It’s going to be season 9 locations. Most likely that one will come out end of July or August sometime. We haven’t been to Wounded Knee yet but South Dakota is on our to get back to.

[@KalaInTheKingdom]

I found you guys searching to see if the mall is still open. Hoping to go there this weekend and see what we can see. Wondering if it's worth the 2 hour drive.

[@TheDuoFinds]

We filmed this about a month ago. They said the mall would be open in July. If you do go back can you take photos or video and show us?! Haha we would love to see what they take down and leave up in the mall.

[@KalaInTheKingdom]

You look like the grown-up version of Dustin, even sound like him too a little. All you need is Dustin's hat to be legit : ) But yeah, thanks for showing me around. It's amazing. It really is. By the way, if you've ever watched the TV show Roswell (1999-2002), check out some filming spots that I covered in Covina, CA. Anyways, have a good day. Let's hope Stranger Things goes into season 5 or more. 🤞 It's so good.

Haha that is funny! Matt cos-played as Dustin at Indiana Comic Con last year! Hat and all! Gonna check your vid out now. Thanks for commenting :)

[@skatetoexplorevideos2477]

@@TheDuoFinds I'm subscribing to you guys. That's awesome that he cos-played Dustin. I'm sure everyone was psyched out to see him as if he came from the future or something, just like that series Dark on Netflix; it's an "adult" version of Stranger Things by the way if you haven't seen it already. It's a hidden gem that no one really knows exists on Netflix because it's from Germany. You should watch it. It's really good. Netflix is working on filming season 3 for it.

[@sumdood2035]

The arcade was gutted inside after season 2, but it was shown from the outside at the end of season 3 when they went into family video. I wonder if they rebuilt the interior or just used the exterior? All you can see in the show are some neon signs in the windows.

Most likely they didn't rebuild the interior. I wished we filmed the outside of the family video!

Gwinett Place mall is a little sensitive about people poking around taking pictures but I think that has to do more with the very real dead body that was dumped in the back of the food court last year than the filming.

[@TheDuoFinds]

Danny we had read that the mall wasn’t doing well before we visited. But that makes sense. Hopefully they can embrace the show and offer something to fans when everything wraps up there. A photo op or set used items (like the back to the future mall) something like that might give it a little boost.
