As for the kids using the gun, I guess in many ways, for many people, it was normal. My dad tells a story of a girl he went to highschool with. She was tasked every day of bringing money from her parents' business to the bank, and would take this money to school with her to drop it off afterwards. To protect herself, and this money, she also carried a gun. To school. Every day. Why she couldn't, y'know, grab the money after school was over and then drop it off is unclear to me lol.

I love that King wrote one book that collected four novellas that spawned Stand By Me and Shawshank Redemption, plus a third less successful movie called Apt Pupil. Three movies out four stories is not a bad batting average, especially when two are considered modern classics.

obligatory when are we watching grosse point blank since john cusack is in this

Pam Nail

$2.37 would be almost $24 today.

Nate Gavin

Glad you guys included more of the outro/dialogue in the YouTube section - your discussions often bring up interesting trains of thought

Jinyatta

Revenge of the Nerds would be my choice to see you guys react to

Apparently a film adaptation of the fourth one (The Breathing Method) is in development.

Very cool. I'll have to refresh myself on that story as, obviously, that's the one I remember the least from.

What's depressing is I can barely even get a single 20oz bottle of Coke Zero for $2.37 these days.

Gaius Frakking Baltar

Adjusted for inflation, $2.37 in 1959 equals about $25 in 2023 dollars - not great, not terrible.

I'm in Missouri, and people carrying guns is completely normal, even today, and especially back in the 50s & 60s. Like you said, every other day you read a story of accidental shootings, it's because having guns around is so normal. I have one, but just because my dad gave it to me as a gift, and I don't even have ammo for it.

'my own private idaho' starring river pheonix and keanu reeves should definitely be on ur list to watch. river pheonix was an amazing actor wish he could have done more

Jeff K

I would also recommend Parenthood. It's not River, but it's Keanu and Joaquin (along with a freaking murderer's row of actors and comedians). River was spectacular. I wish he had gotten a chance to do a young Indiana Jones movie, after how good he was in Last Crusade.

I live in Texas and as much as it's disconcerting to me, as a non-native Texan (I grew up in northern Vermont so I'm basically Canadian, right down to my mom's family being from Quebec), I see people wearing guns all the time. I can barely go to the grocery store without seeing someone open carrying. So I can't even imagine how things must have been back during the time this movie is set.

I'm in California so seeing open carry is the weirdest thing ever. While visiting Death Valley National Park, the closest hotel I could find was in Pahrump, NV and while at a Starbucks, saw a dude open carrying and it was something that I can never get used to.

American photographer Mary Ellen Mark did a famous image of kids smoking and having guns, they are powerful images. It happened a lot but even more in the 40s/50s.

MrRuss50

Sneakers would be a good one for these two. River Phoenix made me think of it.

Rachel W

It's rural Oregon in the 1950s-so with bears and mountain lions, etc totally normal for them to have a gun on their trip-although they should have had a rifle not a hand gun.

Wrencher86

Corey Feldman and Keifer Sutherland are also in The Lost Boys. Another 80's classic. Highly recommended.

Erika R

Love the new intro!

I was hoping for a Davey Hogan George Thumbnail...ah well

JoeNotCharles

Electroshock therapy is actually very effective, safe and humane at treating a lot of mental disorders. (acute depression, for one.) It works by causing seizures that induce neuroplasticity, so that after it's over you can form new neural connections. It just got a backlash because seeing somebody strapped down and convulsing to avoid hurting themselves looks really scary, so it got a really bad depiction in a lot of movies.

As a responsible gun owner it totally makes me nervous that these kids are playing around with a gun like that. Just because many of us are into guns doesn't mean we're okay with things like that. Gun safety is something most of us take very seriously.

jasper_a

excuse the comment if it's been mentioned/recommended elsewhere but along the lines of kids-centric movie, have Simone/George seen The Sandlot?
