2023-05-14 14:29:18 +0000 UTCI missed this yesterday! I am so glad you picked this even if it did not win the polls, its one of my favorites from the 80s. I still remember seeing this in the movies when. It came out I was about 20 and I loved it. During covid I had my two teenage sons watch it and they were surprised how much they liked it. I am sure it was mentioned in one of the comments but Vern was played by the actor who played Sheldon's brother in Big Bang Theory. All the kid actors were so good in this movie. Such a shame River Phoenix died so young.

2023-05-14 00:37:31 +0000 UTCGreat reaction to a true classic. It was funny that Rob kept mentioning Feldman as “Mouth” All I kept thinking was “Edgar Frog, Vampire Hunter” If you guys haven’t seen the movie “Delores Claiborne”(1995) I recommend it as another movie that is not so much a “horror movie” but yet, is a horror movie that is based on a Stephen King novel.

2023-05-13 19:30:01 +0000 UTCAnnie, no, during the waterfall scene, I was the 2nd guy on the left looking up as water was splashed on us. I had great seats center section, ground level 12 rows from the stage and I had an aisle seat to so I could step out to rock out. They filmed the water splashing scene 2 hours before the concert, and for our troubles, we got $1,000 in Merch and we got to meet the band!

2023-05-13 18:26:20 +0000 UTCI was like 13 or 14 when this came out. It made me feel some type of way. I remember being scared of everything. Them having a gun, the leeches, and they just kept saying dead body lol I remember I hated that. I didn't understand it all till I watched it when I was older. RIP River Phoenix such a loss of talent too early. Loved him in Sneakers. Great reaction was nice to revisit this with y'all. <3

2023-05-13 18:03:10 +0000 UTCIt really does take you back to your childhood no mobile phones, game systems, 4 x TV channels, 1 x TV in the house, riding bikes with friends until the street lights came on, going into your house at lunch expecting your parents to feed all your friends without warning getting into all sorts of trouble, makes seeing one of my girls, house bound unable to speak to anyone accept me (her mum) and her twin sister at times all due to bullying at school, panic attacks, and now severe social anxiety on going now for the last 3 years :(

2023-05-13 15:21:57 +0000 UTCFor some reason my Amazon version played slower or you guys played faster? Tried running the full length yt at .75 but it was too slow. (And Rob sounded extra chill. 😎.) Speradic synchronization aside I loved every minute. As always.

2023-05-13 14:19:29 +0000 UTCI learned a lot about you guys, Rob and Trin. I know you don't share much about yourselves much and hearing about the little tidbits made me reflect about my life. I was born May 4th 1970, so I am 53 now. My elementary school years, I went to a private Catholic school instead of public school until the 7th Grade. By 8th grade I went back to public school as the 8th grade in Catholic school is when you go through confirmation to be a part of the Catholic Church. In 8th grade, I began to come out of my shell and began making friends. Also, the High school came over once a month and their band held pep rallies. I thought the drum line was so cool, that I wanted to be able to join in 9th grade. I was told by the band director to take private drum lessons so I could try out. Well I I did and became a part of the drum Corp. as a Cymbal player. I was on cloud 9! I was part of the band click, and the drummers (including us cymbal players) were considered the coolest of the band geeks. The other click I was a part of were the Duranies. I am the biggest Duran Duran fan you will ever meet, I own all their albums and B-side and import albums. I have seen them so far 18 times, and on Trin's birth year of 1984, I was a actually in a Duran Duran music video for their song The Reflex! The '80s was my favorite decade, big hair, neon and bright colors, the music, the movies. It was a fabulous decade for me. I graduated high school in 1989. I tried to stay in touch with the friends I made, but life got in the way. I took some classes at a Junior College, you know the basics...but I got hired on at Microsoft, then I began working for the largest Telephone companies in the United States in the 90s and climbed the corporate ladder and became a director for Logistics. Then in the 2000s layoffs were coming and so I went back to school and got my Bachelors in Nursing with an Associates in Radiology. I made friends at the University, but again after graduation we drifted apart. But I have a circle of friends at my church. This movie for me brought back so many fond memories. Just an FYI, the video I am in was for the song The Reflex, Duran Duran's 1st number 1 hit. Great movie and great reaction!

2023-05-13 03:04:26 +0000 UTCThis was a book Stephen king wrote about his childhood he actually witnessed a kid getting hit by a train when he was just a kid in his interview he said it’s autobiographical

2023-05-13 02:40:58 +0000 UTCYou guys should react to some military movies like The American Sniper' The Outpost' JarHead' full Metal Jacket 'Saving Private Ryan etc.

2023-05-13 01:27:11 +0000 UTCAll the kids here are so genuinely compelling... they feel so real that we're easily immersed in the story with them. But River Phoenix was an exceptional talent. This year will be the 30th anniversary of his death... which is so strange to think about. (His younger brother Joaquin, who was with him the night he died, carried on his acting legacy... and recently had a son that he named, River.) To anyone wanting to check out other River Phoenix movies, I highly recommend... Explorers, The Mosquito Coast (w/ Harrison Ford), Running on Empty (for which RP received an Oscar nomination), and Sneakers (much fun w/ Robert Redford, Dan Akyroyd, Mary McDonnell, Sidney Poitier).

2023-05-12 20:51:42 +0000 UTCGreat movie! One of my favorites. When Gordy cries after they find the body, I cry too...every time. When he tells us that Chris was killed, I cry. Love this movie. Castle Rock Oregon is a real place :) I don't live too far from there. Great reaction, like always :)

2023-05-12 17:17:47 +0000 UTCDamn that was a really wholesome movie and the kids are phenomenal actors, they actually make the crying scenes emotional. A lot of child actors can’t make those scenes too believable and they end up being kinda cringe.

2023-05-12 15:23:23 +0000 UTCJerry O'Connell plays Sheldon's older brother, Georgie, in The Big Bang Theory. He looks way, way different now, doesn't he? I couldn't believe it myself, when I first found out. The best thing about Stephen King's stories, is that he knows kids, and what scares them. Adults too, tho. What I personally love about his novels, is that he takes the simplest fear, and blows it up a hundred-fold. He grew up in a small town with very little to do for entertainment, so he made up stories. Kinda like Gordy. I forget how much I love this movie, until I watch it again. Read the book only once, but I like the movie more, which is rare. Glad to have watched it again with you guys. Yes, like you say, it's very relatable. Can't wait for Breakfast Club.

2023-05-12 14:47:05 +0000 UTCIt was first time watching this movie for me too and it gave me major 80's Tom Sawyer vibes. Long time haven't seen any movie with such a pleasure, except GOTG 3. Thanks to everyone who suggested this movie, and thanks to R&T for picking it
Count Monte-Cristo
2023-05-12 14:38:33 +0000 UTCYES YES YES YES THIS FILM IA ONE OF MY FAVES OF ALL TIME! The novel by King is fantastic too!!!

2023-05-12 14:10:58 +0000 UTCIt was interesting to hear how the two of you related to the film as it progressed, and the outro made me appreciate my childhood even more as you told stories about your childhood. I watched this movie when I was 12 years old, and I'm glad I did because it taught me to appreciate everything I had at the time. Today, I have three close friends, and none of them are people I knew when I was younger. I met them when I started grade 10 at a new school, and we went to college and university together while pursuing different interests, but we made sure to stay in touch every day. Watching this movie brings back pleasant memories of my childhood friends. Thanks for the reaction.

2023-05-12 14:10:03 +0000 UTCThis film is interesting to me, not only because it's a great story set in a slice of americana from the 50's, but because I believe this is the first story of King's to be set in the fictional town of Castle Rock. Throughout his career, as his suspense and horror books garnered massive attention, many of his later horror novels/films would also be set in the same small town. Almost like he was creating his own little 'shared universe' of stories that share the same connection point. If that is the case, I wonder what the hell happened to turn Castle Rock from a quaint little rural community, into the flash point of so many horrific things to come...

2023-05-12 14:01:53 +0000 UTCEver watch 'Sliders'? thats where i know Jerry O'Connell from.

2023-05-12 11:53:28 +0000 UTCTrin's comparison to Stranger Things was right on. Stand By Me was one of the '80s inspirations for Stranger Things. There's even a great scene in S1 with Dustin, Lucas, Mike, and Eleven walking in pairs along train tracks... that purposely echoes the scenes in Stand By Me. (But also Rob's right about the It vibes... minus the horror, but definitely a similar group of do-or-die childhood friends dealing with trauma.)
Wendy Sparks
2023-05-12 11:32:23 +0000 UTCI saw this in the theater when it came out. Just a wonderful adaptation of Stephen King's novella, 'The Body'. It's honestly become a timeless classic on the growing pains of growing up. Full of beautiful, bittersweet nostalgia for those golden days of childhood... for better and worse. We actually see the headline about Chris in the opening scene with Richard Dreyfuss. But the reveal at the end always hits harder and makes me more emotional since River Phoenix died so long ago, so young. Gone way too soon.

2023-05-12 09:32:50 +0000 UTCFinished the movie. That was super depressing.
