Cole & Janet's Rifftrax Presents: The Lost Boys Now Available!

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.

Awesome!


Also is there any word on which edition was used for recording?

There are two releases that have the full screen and wide screen on one disc and a 2-disc special edition release.

The version we link to on the product page is the one we used. Single disc.

And Netflix apparently has the Special Edition. So hopefully they are the same.

Awesome. I missed the GET THE DVD link (even though it is pretty obvious) and that is the version I had at work today to buy!

[Edward J Grug III]

Awesome! I purchased it and can't wait to watch it!

Using the 2 disc SE version. The synch line times are all off by about 15 seconds or so, but they all match each other. I think WB used a longer version of their logo, but made no other changes.

I'm going to probably say something unpopular, but I hate the way the samples are, at least audio wise. The riff is never loud enough to actually be heard and the auto duck isn't enough to make up for the soft audio.

I really hope thats the case. Please let us know if the SE works.

[MrTorso]

Does the SE have better menus than this?:





Menus from 1997 are pretty primitive!

Just finished watching (after making a re-author and making the little host segment video.) No problems at all with the riff. Despite my early suspicions that it may be a second or two off, something would happen on screen and boom, a context appropriate riff. And watching it, I didn't see any scene that wasn't on my VHS copy. Looks like we're all good to go, no matter what version of the disc.

Eh. Nothing special.



Animated scenes from the film up top. "Cry Little Sister" on audio loop. Pretty generic but functional.

Good deal, thanks!

FYI: The full title is "Cole Stratton and Janet Varney Suck the Life Out of the Lost Boys!"

By curious coincidence, all my checks say "Matthew J Elliott Sucks". I had to get my name changed by deed poll to cash them.
