THE LOST BOYS: Peak 80s cool, teenage pressures, and sexy sax man


Listen Later

The Lost Boys, directed in 1987 by Joel Schumacher, became an unlikely hit film with teenagers of the era as it married California beach life, trendy aesthetics, and the seductiveness of vampires. Richard, Thorin, and MonteCristo discuss this excellent film as the pinnacle of coolness of the era alongside its deeper themes of peer pressure and homosexuality. Kiefer Sutherland delivers an excellent performance, as does the rest of the cast including the first time Corey Feldman and Corey Haim appeared on film together. The Lost Boys has left a significant legacy on a generation's perception of the sexiness and glamor of vampires, as the movie presents few of the downsides to eternal life explored in other films.
