## Resource

It's 1987 - Rick Astley is never gonna give you up, MTV just launched and a gang of very cool, very dangerous vampires are running Santa Carla. GB and AJ rewind Joel Schumacher's cult classic The Lost Boys: how it reinvented the vampire genre for the MTV generation, why the soundtrack might be bigger than the movie itself, and whether style trumps substance. And why does it feel like 2 different movies, with the final act coming across like a Goonies sequel? And was it anything to do with Goonies director Dick Donner being the original director?!? Oh, and AJ gets absolutely roasted in the comments section, Patreons deliver some passionate and contradcitory verdicts. Next week: Inspired by the amazing soundtrack, we look at our Favorite Movie Soundtracks of all time!
