The Lost Plot
Y'all. We have talked about absolutely everything and somehow nothing at all this week.
Laurel is back from a beautiful wedding, Valerie is back from New York City, and somehow we're right back to arguing about The Lost Boys. Shocking, I know.
We're talking wedding shenanigans, the struggle of finding shoes when you have size 11 feet, and why the South apparently decided that green beans cooked in sweet tea is a perfectly reasonable idea. (Laurel swears they're incredible. Valerie is still processing this information.)
Valerie also saw The Lost Boys musical on Broadway, and her daughter has officially joined the fan club. Meanwhile, Laurel, who considers the original movie sacred, has FINALLY agreed to give the musical a chance. On Broadway. In person. On her terms. Baby steps, people.
Naturally, this leads us down into the abyss about the movies that raised us, the tragedy of people not knowing who the Brat Pack is, and why we're apparently old enough to be personally offended by the younger generation's lack of appreciation for '80s cinema.
We also get into some current headlines, emo nostalgia, the possibility of a New York City podcast trip, and Gromy's ongoing campaign to convince everyone that his mother never holds him. He would also like you to know that hockey is very important and Laurel needs to shut up.
Honestly, we don't know how we got here, either.
🖤 In This Episode
Laurel tells us about the wedding, insane Southern food combinations, and her last-minute search for shoes.
Valerie shares her Broadway experience, and we revisit the ongoing debate over The Lost Boys musical.
We mourn the apparent disappearance of '80s movie knowledge
We talk about some current headlines, including the reported death of Ken Urker and the controversy surrounding Christa Pike's execution.
Laurel gets nostalgic about Brand New, the emo days, and the complicated conversations surrounding artists and accountability.
We discuss our love for New York City and the very reasonable possibility of taking a podcast trip to Broadway.
Gromy interrupts the proceedings to demand attention, discuss hockey, and threaten Laurel. As one does.
🌼 A Little Life Update
We've had a LOT going on lately, and we're not going to pretend otherwise. Between work, family, traveling, and everything that's happened since the Walhalla fire, life has been a little overwhelming.
We know last week's show notes were basically two sentences, and this week we're giving you a whole lot of us just sitting around talking about whatever comes to mind.
Sometimes that's what we've got in us, and we're okay with that.
We love this podcast, we love making content for y'all, and we never want to put something out just for the sake of putting something out. We're getting back into our usual groove, and yes, spooky season content is coming. We promise we're not forgetting what month it is!
Thank you for being patient with us while we navigate life outside the podcast, too. We appreciate y'all more than you know. 🖤
🌼 Tell Us!
We have a few questions for y'all this week!
What's a movie you absolutely refuse to let Hollywood remake?
Have you seen The Lost Boys musical? We need to know what you think!
What's a song from your teenage years you never thought you'd hear live again?
And does your pet also act like they pay the bills, or is Gromy just particularly dramatic?
Come talk to us! We love hearing from y'all, even when you're here to tell us we're wrong. (We reserve the right to disagree.)
We'll see y'all next week for more nonsense, and hopefully a little more spooky season!
As Always…
