Episode #273: Halloween Episode Part 2: 80s Food and The Lost Boys 2

This week, I’m joined by fellow 80s enthusiasts Joe Fangsrud von Esch and Adam Crohn to discuss 80s food and the 1987 film, The Lost Boys.

To start, I invite you to take a culinary journey and experience Steakumms.  I’d actually never heard of Steakumms prior to seeing the following video (featuring both guests today, I should add):

Check out last week’s episode for more details on the 80s foods we brought for show and, if you’re a Patreon member, the second exclusive podcast episode, which has a guest appearance by Tibetan medical practitioner Ezdean Fassassi (a guest on episode 214) doing a meal critique of a Steakumms meal (listen to a preview below).

[👾🎤]📖[🎸]🏹🤸🏼‍♂️🌈This week, I’m joined by fellow 80s enthusiasts Joe Fangsrud von Esch (@jfvesch ) and Adam Crohn (@mom_gave_them_away) to discuss 80s food, like Steakumms, as a precursor to a much longer discussion on the 1987 film, The Lost Boys, just in time for Halloween! So for patrons, this week’s special episode is all about steak, including my first experience making a Steakumms meal, which I recorded and photographed for here. I asked my friend EzDean, a Tibetan medicine practitioner, to weigh in on the health of this Streakumms meal, so here’s a little of what he said. Thanks, EzDean, for coming on the show! If you’re a Patreon member, check out the rest on episode number 2! You can learn more his work on his page, @holistichealthconsult, on TikTok if you search by his name (EzDean Fassassi), or on The Thirteenth Hour podcast episode 214, about a year ago. Check out @steak_umm for some hilarious posts!

Alright!  More on The Lost Boys …

Some great art here.  There’s a whole Chinese food segment we do based on the scene below …

The whole noodle / worm idea has its issues (as I discuss in the intro), but it’s clearly made its impact.  You can find all kinds of imagery around (again, for those of Asian descent who grew up in the US having people say their lunch smelled or looked like worms, it takes on different significance), but I think it was meant as an innocent enough scene.

The deleted scenes get referenced a few times in the podcast.  Here are some I found on youtube:

If you look around youtube, you can find elements of the soundtrack and score of the film.  Here’s a great example:

Check out the podcast I Used to Like This One for more Halloween episodes, including The Monster Squad, and their own on the rewatching of The Lost Boys.  Check them out on Patreon to help support their work!

And thanks to Adam and Joe this two part episode!  Look for an extended feature with both gentlemen in the third Patreon exclusive podcast coming this week.
