In this episode, first time guest Isabel Teran ("That's Bodacious, Dude! 80 Radical Movies from the '80s!") joins the podcast. She brings along the movie Paprika. Marty and Clif give Izzy the movie The Lost Boys to watch.

This week on Talking Pondo, Marty and Clif welcome podcast host Isabel Teran to the show for a wildly different double feature: a mind-bending anime classic and one of the most iconic vampire films of the 1980s.

First up is Paprika, the visually explosive psychological sci-fi film from director Satoshi Kon. The crew dives into the film’s dream-within-a-dream storytelling, its influence on modern sci-fi (including comparisons to Inception), and how its surreal imagery blurs the line between imagination and reality.

Then the conversation shifts to pure 80s vampire energy with The Lost Boys. Featuring the legendary “Two Coreys” and a gang of leather-clad Santa Carla vampires, the film invokes horror, teen rebellion, and MTV-era style into one unforgettable cult classic.
