Barb from Stranger Things is back in the news in a retro 1980s newscast. This is an official video release from Netflix, and it's called "Minute by Minute with Brenda Wood" from the fictional TV station WIYZ. In it, Wood breaks the news of Barb's mysterious disappearance. Of course, we all know what happened to poor Barb, and she won't be coming back for season two. 

You think you know the 80’s. But then an archival newsreel from 5 WIYZ Hawkins, Indiana is uncovered and you question everything. Like why is Brenda Wood’s hair so totally amazing? Or, whatever happened to that girl Barbara Holland? Just how many Eggos did Eleven eat? The world needs to know!

In the report, Barb’s friends describe her as “loyal to a fault,” and “the kind of girl who notices if you’re wearing a new bra.” There's a little bit of humor thrown in when Woods describes what Barb was last seen wearing, which included “a pink blouse, green pants, blue puffer jacket, and an oversized pair of absolutely fantastic glasses.”

We also get a look at some security footage of a “vagrant juvenile” who is actually Eleven stealing some Eggo Waffles.
