Episode 38: The Lost Boys

In honor of the late, great Joel Schumacher, this week we're headed back to the 80s to discuss Schumacher's teen goth vampire classic The Lost Boys!

Kiefer Sutherland and his gang of bleach blonde vampires seduce moody teen Jason Patric to their flock, while the latter's younger brother Corey Haim teams up with vampire hunter Corey Feldman to destroy them.

It's all very silly, and the soundtrack is no different. This one introduces some future goth staples, and also brings us Echo and the Bunnymen covering The Doors, as well as Roger Daltrey covering Elton John. People are strange, and so is this album. Also in this episode, Joe and Libby reminisce about video stores, carnival rides, taxidermy and a whole lot more!
