Lost Boys Series Episode 3

After Lost Boys: The Tribe became one of Warner Bros.’ top-selling DVDs of 2008, another sequel was inevitable. Enter Lost Boys: The Thirst, with Corey Feldman once again suiting up as Edgar Frog. This time, Edgar is strapped for cash and forced to infiltrate a vampire-run underground rave scene led by head bloodsucker DJ X. Does this latest chapter recapture even a fraction of the 1987 film’s attitude and energy, or is it another case of direct-to-video diminishing returns? The hosts load up on holy water and decide whether the Frog Brothers still have bite.

Lost Boys Series Episode 2

After two decades and more than a few false starts, the franchise returned in Lost Boys: The Tribe. Instead of Santa Carla, the action shifts to a new California beach town, where Chris Emerson (Epic Movie’s Tad Hilgenbrink) battles a fresh pack of bloodsuckers led by surfer-vampire Shane (Angus Sutherland, Kiefer’s half-brother) to keep his sister from turning fully undead. Direct-to-video sequels don’t exactly have a sterling reputation. Still, this one stacks the deck with a few familiar hooks: Corey Feldman returns as gravel-voiced Edgar Frog and horror icon Tom Savini pops up for good measure. But does The Tribe revive the swagger and bite of the ’87 classic, or does it prove that some cult favorites are better left undisturbed? Our hosts sink their teeth into whether this long-delayed sequel earns its fangs or just coasts on nostalgia.

Lost Boys Series Episode 1

Before he was Jack Bauer, Kiefer Sutherland was David, the charismatic leader of The Lost Boys, a motorcycle-riding vampire gang in sun-bleached Santa Carla, California. When single mom Lucy Emerson moves there with her sons Michael and Sam, a beachside romance pulls Michael straight into David’s orbit, and into a world of blood, boardwalks, and bad decisions. Directed by Joel Schumacher (St. Elmo’s Fire), the film mixes teen angst, horror, comedy, and a heavy dose of ’80s cool, turning its undead villains into leather-clad rock stars. It became a cult favorite for its style, soundtrack, and quotable moments. But decades later, does The Lost Boys still have bite, or does it feel like a relic of its era? Our hosts head to Santa Carla to decide whether this vampire classic still rules the night.
