The 'Stranger Things' kids are adorable -- but know nothing about '80s trivia

LOS ANGELES -- Turns out playing a kid in the '80s is easier than answering trivia questions about the '80s.

The young cast members from Netflix's Stranger Things gathered for a Facebook Live on Wednesday, where they revealed they are pretty bad at '80s trivia. It's still very adorable, though.

The show, created by brothers Matt and Ross Duffer, takes place in a small town of Indiana in 1983, just after a 12-year-old boy named Will goes missing. His friends, as well as his mom Joyce (played by Winona Ryder), spend much of the eight-episode series trying to find him. In the process, they encounter top-secret government experiments, terrifying supernatural forces and one very strange little girl. 

The roughly 16 minute Facebook Live video -- featuring Caleb McLaughlin (Lucas) and Gaten Matarazzo (Dustin), Millie Brown (Eleven), Noah Schnapp (Will) and Natalia Dyer (Nancy) -- attracted 345,000 views.

Among the highlights:

-Question 1: "I feel the need the need for speed" is a line from which film?" Only Dyer and Matarazzo guessed correctly (the answer is Top Gun).

-All of them knew the Friends cast -- but they couldn't exactly pinpoint which one appeared in in the '80s TV series Family Ties. Correct answer: Courtney Cox. "What kind of question is that? We're all terrible at this game, by the way," Brown exclaims during the video.

-Matarazzo was the only one to know that Tinkie is not the nickname of one of the ghosts from the PAC-MAN video game. "PAC-MAN my game!" he said.

-All of the cast members can sing the song Don't You Forget About Me, and knew that it was "obviously" from The Breakfast Club.

Trivia aside, here are some other things we learned from the cast members:

-The kids watched a lot of '80s films to prepare. "I love the '80s films: Goonies, E.T., Stand By Me," Matarazzo said. Brown loved E.T., Schnapp said Goonies, McLaughlin said Stand By Me and Dyer said 16 Candles and Breakfast Club.

-The funniest cast members in real life? Apparently it's a tie between Matarazzo and McLaughlin. But Brown interjected and said "they are just very silly but if you are talking about sarcastic humor I think it would go to me." Dyer agreed with her: "It's the British wit."

-The biggest pranksters are (unsurprisingly) Matarazzo and Brown. The cast members pranked the Duffer brothers by having Brown pretend she was sick by putting water in her mouth to fake puke up. They also pranked the costume designer, Emily by saying her wedding venue had fallen through. They wrote out the phone prank script the night before.

-Matarazzo pretty much suggested viewers won't get to hear him sing in Season 2. "Just warning you: That was three years ago. I can't even hit that song in the regular octive" he said, referencing the song moment that went viral.
