Ep 134: "Stand by Me" Revisited

"You guys wanna see a dead body?" In 1986, it seems we all did. Audiences lined up for Stand By Me, an adaptation of Stephen King's novella, The Body. Set in 1959, the film followed four boys on an adventure that involved train dodging, leech attacks, and an unhinged Keifer Sutherland. Decades later, is there still fun to be had in the search for a corpse? Is the "Lardass" story engaging or just kinda gross? And, what is Goofy? The Old Roommates chow down on Pez and rewatch the 80s classic.
