On the surface Sugar Town seems like a cutesy song, but it's about someone taking LSD (on sugar cubes) Lee Hazlewood wrote it as a subversive coded message to 'the kids', to get it past the censors. I haven't seen Kid Detective yet, so I'm not sure if that fits in at all with the plot/themes of the movie, or if he just used it for mood music. Maybe on the level of something seeming innocent that has a darker subtext?

2021-02-18 07:24:10 +0000 UTCMy fiancee and I stopped in the middle of your talk, went straight to Vudu, and enjoyed the hell out of this movie. Thank you so much for helping us find these gems (we also loved "Vast of Night")!

2021-02-16 13:24:21 +0000 UTCWow! Thanks SO much for the heads-up. A really, really solid film. And one that I probably never would have seen otherwise.

2021-02-16 02:53:25 +0000 UTCI'm going to wait and double feature this with the upcoming Danzig vampire western.

2021-02-15 16:31:20 +0000 UTCThanks for the recommendation! Watching it right now. Going to watch your review afterwards.

2021-02-13 23:01:17 +0000 UTCExcellent film.
2021-02-13 21:10:20 +0000 UTCI have no intention of ever watching this, so I just went and checked the final scene on YouTube... okay, I'm probably missing a lot of context there, but, yeah, nothing funny about what I was seeing there... :/

2021-02-13 04:44:14 +0000 UTCWatched it last night. Liked it, but am totally not seeing the humorous stuff about the ending that they were talking about.

2021-02-12 22:05:58 +0000 UTCI always feel it's easier to be negative when reviewing media, and I can kinda understand the criticism RLM sometimes gets for kicking dead horses etc. But these more positive shorts shine brighter because of it. It's great to see Mike and Jay be critical-but-positive about movies like these. (re:view is similar, but there is always that nostalgic element that muddies the waters, so to speak)
Jaap van Muijden
2021-02-12 17:47:39 +0000 UTCYeah, can anyone explain the point about the title reveal? It didn't make a big impression on me. I also really liked the film.

2021-02-12 06:14:20 +0000 UTCI liked the movie but I certainly didnβt have the same reaction as Mike and Jay to the ending. I think it would have been the same with or without the title reveal.

2021-02-12 05:37:36 +0000 UTCStupid Amazon Prime. I notice every time RLM talks about a movie they make you pay for it and they seem to jack up the prices. Bastards!
2021-02-12 02:31:16 +0000 UTCI really loved this movie, and I would have never heard of it had it not been for this post. Thank you RLM.

2021-02-12 00:51:43 +0000 UTCThe best idea Mike has ever had was suggesting the Olsen twins bring back The Adventures of Mary-Kate and Ashley.

2021-02-11 21:26:57 +0000 UTCNeedless to say, I enjoy your old content, and when you reuse old props and costumes (iirc, the helmet Rich (Evans) wore in the bit in BotW, where he made whatever movie it was better by ejecting it out of the spaceship, was the same helmet Cliff Grabowski's alien friend wore), so I liked to watch the Olsen Twins b-roll footage. Besides that I'd watch The Kid Detective based on your recommendation.

2021-02-11 21:19:22 +0000 UTCUntil PYW I only knew Adam Brody from the OC which I never actually watched but going to jr. high/high school in Orange County during the time it aired meant there was no escaping it. He's great in this and I hope to see him given more leading roles. Glad you guys are giving this film some well-deserved exposure.

2021-02-11 16:45:06 +0000 UTCThere actually IS an early 90s movie named "The Detective Kid"...

2021-02-11 15:20:53 +0000 UTCWatched it last night! It kept us guessing all the way through.

2021-02-11 14:34:14 +0000 UTCI assumed The Kid Detective was a direct to video 90s movie somebody sent them
