With Stranger Things season two finally set to debut next week, the inimitable Gaten Matarazzo has provided a quickfire recap of what has gone down in Hawkins so far.

Matarazzo, who plays Dustin Henderson in the series, can be seen in typically enthusiastic form, bounding around a room full of props which include demogorgons and eggos. When explaining how he and the crew managed to reach Will in the alternate reality known as the Upside Down, the young man provides an impressive refresher on the mechanics of a compass and how "smarticle particles" work.

Watch the clip courtesy of Teen Vogue above, and look out for Stranger Things season two returning this coming Friday, October 27.

Now peep the majestic new trailer for Blue Planet II.
