Over time, however, the mess would bleed into shared spaces. Matarazzo said that laundry would pile up and dirty dishes would stack up in the sink.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">The longtime friends and costars didn&#8217;t &#8220;hold each other to a standard.&#8221; They got a rude awakening, though, when friends wanted to stop by and the duo realized their home wasn&#8217;t presentable to guests.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">&#8220;Both of us would be like, &#8216;No. Do not come 10 feet to our home,'&#8221; Matarazzo said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">The two shaped up toward the end of their lease together. While Matarazzo said he wasn&#8217;t sure if they would live well with each other at first, he said that it was &#8220;so much fun&#8221; rooming with one of his best friends. It was a bittersweet way to spend the last season of this monumental show together.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">The <em>Stranger Things <\/em>cast will bid farewell to Hawkins, Ind., after this fifth and final season. The first four episodes dropped Netflix on Nov. 26 on Netflix.
