Episode 149: The Lost Boys

The HD Movie Podcast

Episode 149 of The HD Movie Podcast is here! Hayley Alice Roberts and Darren Gaskell choose a movie of any year, any genre and any quality - as long as the genre is "vampires" this week!

After starting their vampire miniseries in the 1930s, it's time for fast forward five decades into the primo vamp territory of 1987. How could we not cover THE LOST BOYS? There's no need to answer that question because this week's film is THE LOST BOYS as director Joel Schumacher attempts to put the stench of his previous flick St. Elmo's Fire far behind him.

Your hosts step into a world of video shops, fashions the world forgot and a fanged menace terrorising a California coastal town. There's two Coreys, classic rules to beat the bloodsuckers, glittery blood, an out of place Reform School Girls poster, an iconic soundtrack, audience-pleasing action and much, much more! But does Hayley and Darren's nostalgia for it reveal a movie that isn't quite as good as they remembered? All will be revealed...

Spooky movies deserve spooky music, which comes courtesy of our amazing Halloween theme, written and performed by Mitch Bain. You can find him on Instagram if you look for "evertheoptimitch".
