Sheamus and Casey pit teen vampire gang against (sort of) teen vampire gang, pairing 1987 smash Lost Boys with 1987 cult-classic Near Dark. Sheamus muses on the finer points of his enduring favorite vampire movie, while Casey poses some hard questions: Is Lost Boys Joel Schumacher’s best film? Could Near Dark become a streaming hit if it were only, you know, streaming? And how much credit does Schumacher deserve for the 1980s revival of rock-n-roll saxophone? Neither of these movies are on the Criterion Channel anymore, but you should still feel free to ask Casey for his password!
