So live. Live. Hi everyone and welcome to the NERI of North part. I'm going to host Sam.
And I'm another host Paul. And this week we thought we'd do, to be fair, me and some at a little bit of spare time. So we thought we'd do a few episodes here and there where we wanted to talk about for quite a long time. Really, I know we've discussed certain films in short, but if we're not going to say a big conversation and expand a little bit, I'm not going to lie, I had a blast when we were doing the Goonies and the way we did it and just basically broke it down.
Yeah, I was me element to something I'm not going to lie. You really were. And yeah, so it's a midweek special for the head set on and talk to some vampires. Yeah, so a little, a little thumbnail came out in the ear.
I don't know many people are aware of it. Laura might not be. I said maybe bit of scary. She's like on par with me when it comes down to movie watching.
That's what we get on. Oh yes. I thought we'd take a dive into the Lost Boys and like say with the predominantly of our friends who have been all gods and stuff. It's kind of like the, the goth bible shall we see.
It's the stable of like, gothness. You can't, you can't see your regard without watching the Lost Boys at all. The chat is, is alive very much alive here. So hello everyone.
Thank you for joining us. And if you are watching live on YouTube, my camera looks like it's fixed. So you can get to see this properly. I apologize.
I have really badly a fever. Oh bless you. Well, yeah, I've enjoyed doing the design work for this one as well. It was a bit of fun.
I managed to sneak a little Donna in there as well. So you can spot a disc corner cross. She kind of blends in with the creepy. I love her as well.
I mean, I've done you a lot of the boy who officially, oh my god. There she is. You're officially lost. Before I forget, I need that Jason with an idea.
You could just send me that on his own. That would be great. That is fantastic. Definitely.
So we are going to delve into a back catalog for this movie as well. It is quite a staple in my house. We watched it probably, I would say twice a year. Just a few more than that.
It's one of the movies you put on when you're not feeling too well and you need cheering up and it can kind of lift your spirits. So it is cheesy as I'm going to try not swear again because again, it's a dear time episode. Yes. It's a dear time rules.
But look at some of the disclaimer. It's not all professionally. Yes, I tried it. I tried it by desk yesterday.
I'm no longer working from posted notes anymore. So everything discussed in today's episode is our opinions and opinions alone. If you want to discuss any topic from Chinese episode, please come and join us in the Facebook group. And we can have an open discussion.
What we want to have is anyone coming for us and tell us our opinions are wrong. We can all agree disagree and find them. So let's keep it fun. Keep it kind.
Keep it toxic. Keep it out of the nerdism. Very well done. Yes.
So that's the key thing as well. Like me, everyone just basically that's a fun or something to be able to enjoy what they enjoy. And I think that's quintessential what nerdism should be about. It doesn't always go that route.
As we find out, even in the North route, we do have aspects and moments where people forget the fundamentals. Shall we say? No, you're absolutely right. And this has always been the main message from day one before the podcast started.
When the group just started to blow up, there's no right. There's no right or wrong. It's not a constant. Not whatsoever.
You either love it or you don't end. There's nothing wrong with that. But there's no reason to make anyone feel shit. I'm going to swear about how they feel about it.
Let's do the last voice. So how do you feel about last voice? Let's be in the shadows. Can't get that song up.
I'm so excited to do it, especially the way we did the Goonies because we went from start to finish. So it makes you think of everything that goes exactly all the aspects of it. I probably not as well versed on last voice as I am. I know the script and the Goonies.
One thing I did want to talk about is the soundtrack. I know we've talked about it many times. I think you can't not talk about it when you talk about the last voice. Is the soundtrack.
It is, if not one of the best soundtracks for any movies that's been made or will be made. It's like the bread heart of some movie soundtracks. The best of the world is the best of it will be. That's such a good way of putting it.
I also just thought of Paul. In October, when we go to the Philohara, you are going to see Tim Capello live. You are going to see and feel that experience of him playing his saxophone to an audience and doing it. I have just gotten done there.
That's amazing. I can't wait. You're going to love it. Also, can we just point out the main theme of the last three episodes?
Because apparently we turned into, let's review every Cory Feldman film. We've had the Goonies, Gremlins and now we're doing the last voice. Welcome to the Cory Feldman show. To be further, I'll probably get shit for this.
Sorry for this one. I say every quick essential 80s films basically use the basis of the Goonies for the premise for most of them. It's like the edspamics. It's friendship.
It's friendship. So if there's a diagram of a movie, you can point it back to the Goonies. Yes, the Goonies are part of the art and art and art and art and art and art and art and art. It's like every good movie ever came out to see us.
Even before. It was just leading up to the fact that the Goonies was going to come up. The Goonies were going to get me. It was an idea and some of the Goonies had me in this habit.
Honestly, I kind of regret it. I loved doing that episode, but I regret it now because now you're openly talking about it. You've held your back for so long. Now you're like, do you know what?
I'm just going to refer to everything as the Goonies. I love it. I'm going to try and get it in every episode now. So we can go with this.
We can always lead it back to the Goonies. That's what you've got to do in every episode. You now have to find a way to relate what we're talking about back to the Goonies. That is your homework for every episode.
Homework? I'll make a shit on the spot. That is true. The Enoskrette.
I'm the worrying thing is we're doing this live in front of the studio audience. No. No. Jake has just said he didn't watch the Lost Boys until he's 20s.
He didn't read for me. What? Not sure if it's not in the world. No.
Jake. No. No. I'm just going to have a cool look at that.
So I think that I really will be thinking about where the Music Exchange is. Here's a great point because me and my lovely wife were having this similar conversation last night. Is Lost Boys more in a Starja thing? Or if you watch it late, do you still get that same hat?
Now, I think the film, I'll sort of say a movie so I don't know. Move it. Do you want to film again? I'm not getting wrong for that.
It does hold it well. If one of them ones where the user's practical effects again, I know people don't think they do prefer practical effects over the use of CGI. shall we say? The question is the only thing that has dated.
But as overall, I'll just, it's still there. It's not my type of thing though, but yes, I think I still think it holds probably the script as well. The script is the only dialogue is very hammy. Well, I think that was the whole joy in the...
Yeah, it was the magic of it, it was the hand factor in it, the over-the-topness, the costumes are ridiculous, the language is ridiculous. And do you know what the Marifold wrote it because I was writing about it all on on JKN? No. But the more I think about it, you are probably right because I showed this to my nephew.
It was like, one of my nephews is majoring in horror and he's not fazed by anything. And he watched this and he just went, right, you've just watched a classic. A classic. But yes, a classic for us is going to be very different for a classic for them, especially at his age, like he's 17.
Yeah, this is not his time. So I kind of get what JKN when he watched it later that maybe if he watched it as a kid, in his time, it would have been a different experience. I think with, because it's always been advertised as a comedy horror rather than like a full-on horror type thing. And if the movies have come along since then, like I'll be honest, there's not probably been a decent vampire movie up to the same standard as this one.
You take that back. John Carpenter's vampire is in a classic. It is, but it's not a terrible... It's always not in the same standard as a classic, it's the Lost Boys as a vampire movie.
Oh, John Carpenter's vampire was terrible. You want to do something in it? And I'll say this right for Kevin and Charlotte because I got it wrong last night. James Wood.
I said James Good in the chat. I got so embarrassed. It's the worst. We always get names on door.
But I think with modern horrors as well now and like as the type of scares that you use, if someone was going to watch this for the first time and expect it to be scared, it's not a scary movie. It's not that type of movie. It's more for the look, the feel and the atmosphere. Oh, absolutely.
It's a lifestyle thing. I don't know how else to describe it than it is. It's more of a... I don't know what you mean.
I just don't know how to elaborate on that. It's more like, because you watched that at a time. You've got that film at that time and that nostalgia hit big style. So it does take you back then.
It's the same as people can point out, maybe watching the Goonies and buying me. This is exactly what we were... I mean, I've been talking about before because I don't know where it came from, but it was about nostalgia. It's not different.
Whatever we were talking about, it's no different than Paul Liven the Goonies. You live in Ghostbusters. Because I was like, it's not kind of what we were talking about. I think I might have been about the Gremlins episode.
And I was like, oh, that was it because I was like, I don't get Gremlins. You get Gremlins. But because I didn't watch it until I was older. So that kind of is the same.
I didn't even get it because I watched it in older age. But you say I've watched it when I was younger. I did with the Ghostbusters. Maybe I would have a different perspective on it.
Yeah. But again, I think it's still going to be like, playing back. Because I think people build it up as well though. Because there's a lot of hype behind this film.
Because anyone, you know that loves this film. They don't just say, oh, it's a good... It's one of them ones where people either hear this or the other. You talk to Donna about it.
It's her favorite movie. I should point it out in the chat. She can wax lyrical and how excited she can get. And you can actually see that in people.
But people who say, if you think, I don't think anyone I've ever spoken with is an orchival. It's either being up there or not there, not for them. But I remember watching this very young. It was one of them because I watched it with me parents.
But then I had a skill teacher that was obsessed with this movie as well. So in the end of your lessons. You get to bring a toy in. Yes, I bring a toy.
So it wasn't a toy you were used to bring the video in. You get to bring a toy in and say you're a school. No. That's right.
I got asked by people from the I was a second makes here like a battery operating thing but we're not going there. Did you? Did you? Did you?
Yes. And she brought in Lost Boys first to watch as well. So I had seen it. But she told us there would be some swearing so not be offended by the swear words.
But because she was obsessed with the dog, Nanook. So she loved the dog and that was why she loved the film as well. That's crazy. Yeah.
So watching in biology class I think and the teacher was a complete asshole. All of it was horrible. But at the end of the year she was lost by so I liked her a little bit for that. Yeah, that's pretty cool.
My teachers never did anything. I came from a murder school so I'm surprised that even allowed us to have a last interview thing to do. What was I going to say? It was something about Lost Boys.
No, the fan base of it is still very much alive and kicking today. When I went to the Lava Hora back in 2019, it was a Lost Boys special. So you had Kefa Sutherland was there. But Kefa is because he's not to take away any shine from anyone else who was there.
Kefa is a big deal. He's a big name and he got his own screen. And so they had a screen where he was behind it, photographs, autographs, all the day, a pillow blow, that's all he did. But the rest of them were all on a table.
Visible as anything I asked, walked to. Alex went there and spoke to a very shy Michael. I can't think of his real name. Yes, I'm Patrick.
Yes, I'm Patrick. Very shy, yes, I'm Patrick. Incredibly shy. Tim Kapelo, who is the sweetest person you will ever meet.
And one of the Frog brothers, because I don't believe Corey Feldman is allowed to then conventions anymore. No, he's not. He's not the best of people. No, I don't think he's allowed at the Monopoly festivals anymore.
So he wasn't there. But the other Frog brother was then he was really fascinated. He has he's on podcast and very much wants to talk about nothing but the Lost Boys. And he was such a lovely person.
Alex Winter agreed that the 90s was the best decade and that we will never see the likes of it again. He was just lovely. And one of the other Lost Boys, the other one who hasn't passed away. But he was absolutely such a sweetheart.
And honestly, for all we waited a long time, it was because of how loved that they were. Yeah, it was phenomenal. I think it's one that one where people do get obsessed over and not like based their lifestyle around it, but based away the dress and like it does influence other style of movies and even music that you like because a lot of people do cling to them type of things. But like I said, with the cast, like Keith is all and at that time, like say it was hitting a big like with movie after movie like a song by me and so he was huge and especially with the pedigree he had with Aggies father as well.
Like Corey Helen, that came was just taking off Corey Feldman. I said Jason Parrick, Diane West, And we used to say a big 80s actor, so Dixie has done quite a lot of big movies. And as you said, Alex Winder, who went on to do like Bill and Ted, a few and have big big next year of roles and stuff like that. I didn't realize until this invention how shy I actually am around famous people.
I don't like I actually walked past Bill Mosley and stood in shock because I didn't know what to say to this normal human being who was just walking past this. It was no different standing in front of Alex Winder. I was standing in front of one of the wild stallions to have that in my head. I was just going to go.
Yeah, it was it was mind blowing because you think of yourself before you get that. He was just normal human beings is like, Tobin Bell was two feet away from us and I'm how I didn't have a meltdown. I'll never ever know. But yeah, it was just a real to I wanted to I wanted to thank him for a documentary he did on the dark web because it was an absolute eye opener for us.
I even tweeted Adam and he tweeted back to say thank you for watching. And I was like, I just wanted to thank him and I couldn't get any words. I was like, Oh my God, for Caroline's brother because he has no issue talking to people and I just asked her then like an absolute melt. I really did.
Expect a lot of it when we go and actual them. That's fine. I'll just kick you a lot. Don't worry.
Yes, absolutely. Actually talking about the movie and when was the last time you watched this? A couple of weeks ago. So that was quite recently as well.
Not in preparation for this. Oh God, no, I was just watching because it's a lot of fun. It's all going to things where you can't take anything to watch on. You put on something nice and easy.
You know all the stuff. But as I said with iconic music and stuff like that, when soon as the titles roll up, one thing's... And it was a... We don't know the words, the things.
You know how to just before we came on. I couldn't say it. Anyone wants a copy of Stig and Cry that was a step. It would just be us wailing because we don't know the words.
But yeah, since that kind of kicks in, it's like, you know what, something else, it's favourite going on. It's that jitter. Ah, it just gets you in the fields. And then it takes a straight to the fun fair, isn't it?
It's the Santa Carlos, the fun fair. Yeah, you're in the fun fair. Is it a couple? Because in horror tropes, there's always a couple, isn't there?
Oh no, that's later on. Is that later on? No, that's now. Has it all at them?
Yeah, because I've been arguing on the fairs. What do you call it? Carousel. Carousel, that was it.
And we were just walking about in the carousel. You could do that. There's no offence. People were just saying, bizarre.
That was happening. But yes. And it was a standoff against someone with some funky hair with a white flinging in it. And he was quite like, obviously, it's a knee good, knee good.
And Michael, I'd say that's when Kate has suddenly walked in the end of juice to the Megs of the Lost Boys. David's. David's, David's. David's.
David's. David's seat in the lunch. Yeah, that was a problem because we'll get on to that with the movie because the amount of times I see other people, persons name after dinner. Oh.
There's a good drinking game out with that as well. Yes. And Michael just does my absolute bonsen. It really does.
She does mine up into the majority of them anyway. We'll get into that. Yes. So, yes, that's when we first introduced the villains of the piece, so what we thought was the villains of the piece, shall we say?
And the security card kind of pulls them apart and says, I told you to get out of the bar, walk. You know, go, shit. A little punk. Like, oh, shit, shit's going to go down here.
Whatever it now. And one of the things that they did use after this, I see after this little bit of a little tip part, I tell you, I tell you, I tell you, I say, is one of the things I liked about the Lost Boys was the use of the combo work, because it was very unusual. And it gives you the point of view of the vampire. Yeah, it came down, doesn't it?
At the starting point, it like comes down as opposed to going that way, which doesn't, it doesn't reason like a big deal, but it's horror. You've got to expect different camera movements. I don't have the chat of anymore. I have the plot.
I don't think we'll go too far off. Like we'll both do. I'm curious if someone will point it out. Yeah, but with our camera work as well, especially if you think about the, I know what to think about, but it was quite, it was quite a long time then.
They didn't have drones, it would have been like Koreans or I gave them potentially like a helicopter that would have used for this type of shot. So it's not a simple type of like camera trick where things are like proper always out of zoomed and you get this security card, like, what in his car turn back, seen whatever monster is. And I love the premises as well because the thing I love about Jaws, because what we do in episode of a Jaws in the future as well, you don't see the shark from most of the film. Now we'll see you over this.
This is a film about Bumpai is, you don't actually see the vampire's face till nearly three quarters of the movie gone. That is true. And at this point of the film, do you really suspect that these young kids who do look a bit sluggish are zooming down, down on this guy? Yeah.
Because if I'm watching it for the first time and not thinking about the whole thing in its entirety, I don't know if I'm thinking if a lovely ninja to keep this other one is going to be. Alex, what is going to be such a badass that that's what they can do? I don't know. I don't know if I'm thinking that.
But then you get shocked at the start when you see the aspect and you see him panicking with the door. And for some reason he just keeps putting the door handle without what he's gazing at the type of doors kind of like a lot of wise and all of them. And then it goes out the logic of what a horror movie is. Yeah.
And that's like the tropes that you see and you can laugh about now. Well, at the time, if you might be in a panic, why would you still be doing that? And then the whole he gets carried off and then the door gets ripped off as well. So then you know shit's means business and stuff like that.
Yeah. It is probably quintessential horror trouble, isn't it? Like, I'm not an adult. But I don't want to keys.
So that's the whole premise there. But then as I said, that's the one and that's our introduction into the movie. So you think, oh, it's going to be quite intense. It might be scary.
The best part about it is no blooded goal. No whatsoever in this film, no blooded goal. And that to me makes it all the more sinister. I don't know why because maybe because I'm not a good score kind of person.
I won't watch horror for that aspect. It's the fact that you don't see it. It's like your thing with Michael Myers. You don't even know why he's evil.
He's just evil. And it's the same in that aspect. There's an I know that that person got hurt. I really don't need to say that.
No, yeah, because he's being dragged off. Well, not off. He's being floored up in the air. There's no coming back on that.
All we don't know is he's been turning a vampire. Well, at this point, you don't know what to vampire. Unless if you read about it, because at the time all you had to do about reading about movies was either what the critics said or... Or the tagline on the poster.
Because we didn't have internet to spoil movies as much as we do now. Or say facts. Or say facts back then. Say facts back then.
Say facts. That's how we'll be all guys. Wasn't it like described as almost Peter Panish? Well, that's all vampire stories.
I always wanted like to say never to be... I think that was with the Nehem, the Lost Boys. It was the connection that the Meade put. Yeah.
That's every vampire story with the people not wanting to grow old. And so it's always where they got the Peter Pan feel from. I like the idea of Pan so much. I don't want to grow old.
And then again, because as I said with the soundtrack, when you think of Lost Boys, the three big tracks that you think of every time. They'll set that on. They'll assist that. And then we'll hear the other one is...
Doom, Doom, Doom, Doom, Doom, Doom. People, which I don't know if they just went round filming in the streets and find the most audly and weirdest, like alternative people that can. So it was shot in Santa Cruz? Yes.
I've got a good fact with this. Yes, the Santa Cruz Council or whatever. For us it would be a council. They didn't allow the film.
Once they realized what it was and what the were making out, Santa Cruz to be, the murder couple of the world. They didn't allow them to use the Nehem. So that's why it's called Santa Carla. Right.
I remember you telling this story as well. Because as I said, well, any said you or anything, they don't want to be known as that. The different screen screen. Actually, if you look at the end of the credits, there is a massive FU to the school who would not allow West Carvin to film there and it was a massive FU to them.
Right. And it was like a no thanks to... Which is true, would not let us film or argue certain stuff in it. Yeah, with who the US Craven got a dig in on that one.
Well, not surprised. But I can understand like, say, Santa Cruz's opinion on that type thing, just because they did go hard with the whole murder couple of the world and they made a few jokes throughout the film as well. And this is where we are introduced to, like, say, I would like to see how he was of the of the day. Yeah, Michael and Sam.
And not just the mother. Oh, the ma'am Lucy. Lucy and the nook as well. You got to make the nook.
That was always the thing because when you do the... Because I always laugh, because I always do the credits for Lost Always at the start and tell who's going to be in. And it does at the end of the interesting tells you, the nooks actual name. I think it was like, Troy, something really simple.
I was like, why did they call the dogs? I mean, so complicated when if they had a similar name. I thought, hell of an action dog that mine, who can do stuff on command to names. But also, so you've got that we're in the opening scene.
We are going through Santa Carla. That looks amazing, by the way. Like, it is a goth acid trip of where they want to live. Like, as a young gothling myself, I wanted nothing more, which I live in Santa Carla.
It looked amazing. I had a fair ground for God's sake, come on. We had a fair ground on the group, like Siva. It was important.
Siva, socials. Remember, I'm not from that area. I'm from the other side. And we had, yeah, I literally am from the murder couple of the world.
I really am. Like, honestly, if you go on Google about where I live, it's absolutely terrible. Don't mind all beyond the element, but yeah. You do.
Honestly, you're in the window with a pair of socks. You take your life in your own hands when you come here, because it's absolutely terrible. But you're going through and you have that massive sign. Do you remember the big sign?
That is welcome to Santa Carla. Again, you will get to see that much more, but it's phenomenal. But then you have on the back, or does it see a murder couple in there, or is it moving to it? Yeah, I think that's when you first realise that shit's far here and stuff like that.
And then when they pull up to the house, and they do it on the grandpa for the first time. The real hero of the story. Yes. And he's pretending to be dead on the porch, which is just weird, but funny at the same time.
He's a man, though. It's a man. Come on. He's a taxidermy, loving, like, who doesn't watch the telly, would rather read the TV, guys, which I actually get, by the way.
I don't get an older. I understand that man so much more. Yeah, that was the whole introduction. Then, like I said, with Michael and Sam coming in, Sam's wardrobe is eclectic to say the best.
It's something, isn't it? I'm sure it's that. Not the Jets. That court and that weather.
It's hot here in the North East Asia. And I'm dying when it's in here. And he's like, what could be like a floor length, like, material, Jack, that's got every single colour in the world. Like, Jesus, not Jesus.
Not Jesus. Jesus, Jesus. Jesus, Jesus. Jesus is the technical, the Greek court.
It's the sequel. The sequel that we always wanted. 100 to always work it on it. But yeah, Joseph and his technical drink would have nothing on this part, but...
No, did he not? It's a hair for me. It's really sad. That floppy, quick thing that he's got going on.
But, yes, and Patrick is like, he's just an average person. Sorry, there's a BB machine going off behind us telling us the back of the back of the door. Oh, back of the back of the end. Why?
So, the truck. Oh, yes. Oh, yes. Back of Lost Boys, yeah.
So, that was kind of like the introduction as well. And Michael comes in weirdly, weirdly as well. He's carrying... Or push.
He's carrying some wits, like dumbbells, with his claws and stuff on, hungers on them, which he carries through, because we have to realise this is the first time we're going to the house. And he just walks through, dumps his clothes on and starts going dumbbells in the middle of the rim. I'm like, what the fuck? Who you're proving your strength to?
Who you're making? Because there's nobody around to impress. One thing we did mention about the opening, which I think is vangel just as an act, because we did mention the fact that the board really, the, you know, the Santa Carla and the back bit really gives you an idea of where you're at. And obviously the people.
There's also the missing signs as well. Yes. There's a big massive board. Now, like, I didn't realise this until I went to America, that then boards are real.
Yeah. Then boards are very real. And it is very scary to when you're walking into a Walmart and you have these big massive missing signs. So when you see that in this film, that's like a moment you realise that.
Yeah. As we said, when you see the sign, when you're working with Santa Carla, and then there's a thing in the back of the world, it didn't do so much. That's not right here, and something's not going wrong. But then you get like a bit of the backstory that Lucy has went through a divorce, lost everything into divorce, and had to move basically back to it.
Parents, Michael and Sam was abroad. So kind of just going through the motions, like going to move to new town, being new kids. So they're going to try and make friends. Yeah.
And that's always the quintessential type of story that most boys is. It's about people trying to make friends, shall we say it? It really is. Actually, I mentioned the notice board.
Actually, you see the missing board when they're on the boardwalk. Yes. You see it on the introduction of Santa Carla, but you see it more in depth when Lucy's looking at it, isn't she? And she's shocked about it.
But this is where Lucy gets her job with friends and great maths. Yeah, because she finds her missing. Kid doesn't judge. She takes and, you know, this sort of little person, I don't know if it's a boy or girl.
I can't remember. He's not too sharp on that one. But then the mother runs in and grabs him and he goes, oh, you're going to go deed. And he's a lollipop.
And it's like all sexually and you end up doing so. Oh, yes. He remains an Ed Herman as Max. God, rest that man saw he wasn't absolutely phenomenal actor.
And this overboard Gilmore Girls, that he's honestly just brilliant. In this law, the fashion choices. Wow. Like, as I said, it was very much of its time and of its best.
But just taking a backwards step as well. Because I know when they're going through the house, when you introduce the grandpa, that's good. Like, see, you get some good back story there. You find out, I just said, with his tax on Germany, like, it takes it back in that room.
And again, it's building up to later on what happens in the film. There was a lot of foreshadowing, isn't there? Massive foreshadowing. And I just like the fact that he didn't have much of a care, just like he wanted his shelf on the fridge.
And it wasn't like alcohol either. It was rude to be your or your cookies. So, the greatest stable of a diet ever. Like, if you change that with cherry, I love America for their cherry pop.
Like, pop, soda. So rare. Like, anything, because they don't, not just cherry, corgour, anything, but just cherry in general. Americans know how to do a good cherry drink.
So yeah. I don't know. There's probably no cherries in it. It's all the other things I think.
I had to do. Chemicals. Yeah. One of the conversations on the Nellyoth North Group today, someone posted a picture of Keyn and Kael.
Oh yeah, it was, I know who it is. She's adorable. Yeah. And it was basically, I said, I wanted to try that orange soda, because orange soda does not look like that in real life.
All the different chemicals that they must put in to get their colors are translucent. So it's scary what you've been drinking over there. Yeah. I remember when Sunny D came out over here.
And it was almost luminescence. Like, it almost, the rest of the lube over there. They want to meet your kiss. Like, why not?
Yes. Yes. Yeah. Like, so that was an element I quite liked, like the little in jokes within, like, normal family life.
That you probably did have discussions. Everyone's probably got a family member, like Grandpa as well. But then, I just said, when they go on the board, or Lucy meets Max for the first time, and you think it's just this nice wholesome bloke, he's going to go, because Lucy is the queen, is actually the queen essential, you know why? She is basically a motherly figure, that's, like, like, very loving towards her kids.
Trying to provide. And you understand it as well. Like, she has such a level of understanding. Like, do you know how parents try to get on kids' levels?
And they feel massively. Lucy doesn't do that. No. She doesn't have that inner to, she can, it's like she's got such a strong relationship with her boys, that no conversation with them is...
Often. Of limits or to boo or, you know, it's such a lovely dynamic between the three of them. Yeah. And even that eludes to it as well, when I say David, I'm telling people to make sure I say the names right now.
And it gives them David and all the other, like, last boys, what has the video show? And Max gives them a glance. He says, I told your boys not to come around here anymore, type of thing. And then they're smiling and drive off.
And she's like, oh, this boy is just young. Like, he said, there's an element and stuff. He's like, there's no element. They're just young.
At least, so she's like, excusing people's behaviours. Yeah. And, and says, well, we probably did worse one. We're that age, which again, we probably did, same way, I'm not saying we were vampires and kill people, but yeah.
It's in a very light room. So that's not happening already. So, nobody, right. Nobody, right?
She has such a, not a problem. Not just the kids, but everyone, she has a level of understanding that, you know, not everything is this black and white, there's gray areas, and she's okay with that. It's such a lovely, like, I don't think Lucy gets enough credit for the character that she is in this film. She's just seen as the mother.
And really, she's a lot more than that. Yeah, definitely. I completely say that now more. But when you watch the film back, for instance, like, no, no, no, you're watching, like, say, Michael, if you're five watching for David, the comedy of the Frog Brothers as well, when the introduction of them is just like, say, I've met people like that.
I've met people now like that as well. Like, from when I was younger, that's the way you think. But that's the next introduction we do get is when Sam goes into the comic book store, and we've all had that experience where you've been looked at and think, I'm actually here, or, I know you've been told you were here. I certainly have had that feeling before.
But not to the point where, like, I wish I had the Frog Brothers to be like, there. And the dress out, like, in these army gear as well. And it's like, oh, the red tie band as well. What was that film in the 80s called with, Paris-O-Ayesis?
Red? No, no, that wasn't. I think the Russians were invaded and read, so, read the statement over. Red door?
Red door, and that was it. So, very much, look, like, the way the red door, so they go into war typing. And as Sam's walking through the store, and he's telling him, like, oh, you've got this Superman here, shouldn't be a red-crypto knight, it wasn't introduced, this character wasn't introduced. They're probably giving these nerves credentials to them almost like, say, in an I belong here, you can't, like, kick me out typing.
And they're trying to give them the horror comic. And that's when we know what's happening in Santa Clara. And it's not time to say, I don't do horror comics, because this one might save you life. The most serious torn that you've ever had there.
It's the Foreign Fellmen's voice. It's so funny. It's like his Batman voice, he's like, I'm Batman. And they announce at this point, they are self-proclaimed vampire hunters.
Yeah. Like, imagine hearing that for the first time from someone. I'm interested, I know there's that going forward as well now. That actually is a vampire hunter, or a vampire just to see what other people's reactions are to.
Right, get down to some business cards, and be like, yeah, this is Donna. Vampire hunter, if you need anything, you call this number, call this number. So you don't scare anyone away from her as well. So.
But yes. And that little introduction there, so you like that little bond, that little friendship, that's formed then. You do want more of the front brothers, even though they are terrible and annoying. And the dialogue they use is just, it must have been brought to the back of a backpack or something.
When the scriptless movie, because it's so bad, but it's with the living. But if it's them, if anyone else was to pull off that dialogue, it probably wouldn't work, but it suits them down the ground. But in that short meeting, you actually find out everything you need to know about this one. Someone's just put something in the chat, that's quite interesting, but the actual comic that we used was made for the movie.
And the comic book is actually real, the comic book shop. And you can actually visit the comic shop when you go there. Oh, that's amazing. Is this from Evan Smith?
I'm sorry if I'm seeing any wrong, my apologies. So going for a road trip now. But it's on the cruise now, oh well. We can't let that.
I don't know what that's going on. Trust is like, yes. Oh, don't get it wrong. If we went, Donna would have to be there, because she would be the one who we're pushing forward.
You've got, you've got, you've got, you've got, you've got first. The girl has no fear. Yes. And that's when you get introduced to like the asshole from the beginning again, where you stick the steel, the comics and the run off and then the frog was chasing down the street.
But my always opinion would be there. And if you've got expensive comics, like you don't put them in the thingy. You don't put them in the thingy. The door where you fold people, just the grabbing run away.
So no, and comic books are worth very little in that stage of their, have been on the shelf. So not just leave it. Leave it. Leave it alone.
I think they're just trying to show how hard they actually are. Yeah. So then the frog was chasing down. And then, then we get the next killing again.
And they use the, the basically the same visuals. No, actually, I'm jumping up and jumping apart. Because then you're getting to just, Michael and Star. The love interest, the big eyed girl.
As Sam said. She's so annoying. She's so widey. To be fair, she saw Robin Smiles.
If you watch, my name is Sam. I'll come up with your mother. Like say, there's an actress, Colby Smilders. Colby Smilders, who is Robin Shavaski, one of the greatest television characters of all time.
Who plays as Robin Smiles on the side? She's just pretty. Where I got my Xbox name from. Okay.
But it just gives you like all the 80s vibes. She was wearing like, I think she was wearing my don. White Madonna gloves, I think, Shadow on. It's a white dress.
It's white is such an 80s color. A white denim, white leather, white linen. It was such an 80s vibe. Big hair.
I can't even see it that much. 80s vibe. But big hair and like, a bigger eye shadow and stuff like that. So, and I went all googly eyed over Michael because Michael was being all smoldering on his little, little bike.
But then find out what we don't really find out. What relationship, Star and David, it's fine. Yeah, you think it's a very karate kid moment. Yes.
With the motorbikes and Star getting on their motorbikes. Because you are introduced to the gun at this point, when they all roll up on their bikes. And I totally get karate kid feels from that. And I always thought that her and David were a thing.
It would make sense. Yeah. But never really go that close. Because in my view, when I was watching it now, like I said, as a kid, I always didn't understand.
It was almost like David was using her to entice Michael into the fold. That was the way that Michael, like almost like a, like be it, shall we say? And I'm trying to do that in the most tasteful way. The most tasteful way.
