Summer Special #22 - The Lost Boys (1987) [Non-Cannon ~ Episode 70]



Here's a movie we've been trying to cover for some time now. From 1987, this cult classic is still the favorite of many Gen Xers today. But does it hold up well?

Surprisingly well, actually. This is a vampire movie, of the type that existed before Anne Rice permanently ruined the monster in pop culture, where the stakes are high and the monster is suitable intimidating. On the other hand you've got an all-star cast of the kind that could only have existed at the time it was made. The Lost Boys is pretty much the full package. It is the quintessential adventure movie of its era.

Is it perfect? Not quite, but that doesn't stop us from talking about this one for a long time. See what we discuss in today's episode!

Randy's Score: 4/5
