BTM & Exploited Cinema team up to do a commentary!

Yes, before director Joel Schumacher ruined childhoods with Batman & Robin, he put Jack Bauer and Bill S. Preston in The Lost Boys — a weird, slightly uncomfortable tale about creepy teenage vampires. So come along and join Comedy Button hosts Scott Bromley, Brian Altano, Anthony Gallegos, Ryan Scott, and Max Scoville on a journey into the land of the awkward dead. This commentary is available in both NTSC and PAL formats, so make sure you grab the right one!

Blood Bullets & Broads: The AITH Podcast is proud to present our October commentary of Stephen King’s SILVER BULLET! Voted by the listeners, we take on Corey Haim and his crazed wheelchair driving, we take on Gary Busey’s inability to stay sober for more than 5 minutes, and we snag a closer look at possibly the goofiest werewolf costume in the history of werewolf movies. Who is that, Smokey the Bear? We also ponder the life-long question of would the film be the same if Haim wasn’t in a wheelchair (13:58), is this the movie where Busey introduced cocaine to Haim, thus ruining his life (21:46), how does this small town lynch mob know where to go lynching (40:30), and is the epic dream sequence / werewolf party a full-on reveal or just a freaky scene (45:59). All this and so much more is discussed, so throw in your copy of SILVER BULLET (or stream it!)

Observers: John Pavlich, Eric Diaz

Record Date: August 15, 2012, 10:06 PM

Plot Summary: Two brothers move to a new town and soon discover the place is frequented by a biker gang of vampires.

Note: Celebrating the 25th Anniversary (which recently occurred this past July 31st), Eric Diaz returns (read his article on the film here) and together we talk about the film’s influence on other vampire mythologies (such as Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Twilight), the unfortunate death of Corey Haim (he will be missed), the original concepts for the story and the fascinating sequel that almost was, The Lost Girls. Remember to listen for the preemptive countdown before starting the film on your DVD.

To sync commentary: Pause movie just as the Warner Bros. logo is about to come up. Press play on commentary. after “3, 2, 1,” Unpause movie as the word “Play” is uttered. Commentators include Cort, Fatboy, Mike Russell of the Oregonian and CulturePulp.com, Senior Editor of the Portland Mercury Erik Henriksen, and Writer/Director/Owner of BadAzzMofo.com David Walker. Another commentary fueled by bourbon and cookies. And sweet, sexy saxophone magic.

We’re back! Sort of. We recorded our Lost Boys commentary about a year ago, but large segments wound up not getting recorded (I blame Windows Vista).

Anyway, we got back together again to fill in the gaps. Hopefully it’s not too confusing and somewhat insightful/entertaining.

This time we got me (Jon), Zo, Jen, Chad, Dave (in the past) and Scott (in the present).

R.I.P. Corey Haim.

Let’s get one thing straight: Vampires don’t sparkle in the sun; they burst into flame. Yes, they sleep all day, party all night, wear dangly earrings, ride motorbikes on the boardwalk and enjoy concerts by long-haired shirtless greasy saxophone players, but they JUST. DO. NOT. SPARKLE.

Joel “Can we please stop talking about how I put nipples on the Batsuit?” Schumacher’s 1987 teen vamp flick The Lost Boys is everything Twilight wishes it could be and then some. SWOON over pretty boy Michael (Jason Patric) and his vamp nemesis David (Kiefer Sutherland, peroxided beyond recognition)! LAUGH at those wacky comic-book collecting vamp hunters The Frog Brothers (Corey Feldman, who probably doesn’t remember making this movie, and Jamison Newlander, who probably doesn’t get remembered for making this movie)! SCREAM at Corey Haim’s horribly dated wardrobe! And SIGH wondering why Dianne Wiest and Edward Herrmann signed on to be in this thing. Oh…and… something about Jami Gertz.

Returning to the RiffTrax booth are Cole Stratton (who seriously loves this movie) and Janet Varney (who seriously loves that Cole seriously loves this movie). They hope you’ll give it a download…since they have so much at STAKE. Get it? Stake?*

*Janet Varney wishes that it be known that she strongly disapproves of that last joke and that Cole takes full responsibility for it.**

** Cole Stratton is wearing sunglasses indoors and thinks it’s hilarious.
