    New Film Releases: The Lost Boys (1987) Review

    Play Episode Listen Later Jul 28, 2022 44:24


    Hindsight Disclaimer: Recorded a month ago, the Morbius memes have since gotten less attention and were swiftly overtaken by the Gentleminions in terms of a strange and obnoxious social media following towards a film, which was more annoying for me since I actually work at a cinema. So it's not really in date as much, but it was at the time. Skip ahead to get to the more timeless yet timely (since it'll be almost exactly 35 years to the date) review of The Lost Boys. Join Robert and fellow guest Jack as they dust off the New to go back to 1987 to review a film that's celebrating it's 35th anniversary this month. Not to mention, a better vampire film to see than Morbius, which is discussed at the beginning. Don't forget to share and tune in. P.S. Aware of the contradiction in the title.
