160. 🧛The Lost Boys (1987)

Dan, Manny, & Billy put the 1987 quintessential 80s classic The Lost Boys to the ultimate test—THE NOSTALGIA TEST!

“The amount of shoulder pads in this movie could start a football team.”
-Manny

In our 3^rd Spooky Season episode, we are in peak 80s form a horror comedy classic. The boys talk about the extremely 80s cast of Corey Feldman, Corey Haim, Jason Patric, Keifer Sutherland, and Jami Gertz. It doesn’t get much more 80s than this! Dan lays down one of the most unhinged 80s movies multiverses of all time and proposes that The Lost Boys is really a love story between Keifer Sutherland and Jason Patric’s characters. Manny realizes that he has seen this movie and talks about it being a rip-off of an insane mashup of other 80s classics, Billy really wants to hang out with these metalhead vampires in the sunken resort, and can movies with kids on bikes ever be made again? And is that Rory Gilmore’s grandfather?

Grab your best friends, find an abandoned hotel, uncork some Carlo Rossi, whisper sweet vampiric nothings, and fill the bathtub with holy water and garlic because this one is a wild ride!
