Total Conundrum x Jamison Newlander: The Frog Brother Files
Episode Summary: This week, we sit down with the iconic Jamison Newlander, better known as Alan Frog from the cult classic The Lost Boys! Jamison gives us a peek behind the scenes of vampire hunting in the ‘80s, what it was like working alongside the Coreys, and how the film continues to influence fans and pop culture nearly 40 years later.
But Jamison is far more than a Frog Brother. He’s a multi-talented actor, director, playwright, and creator with a wicked sense of humor. We dive into his creative process, his passion projects (including his award-winning play Remember This), and his ghost-hunting adventures with Corey Feldman featured on Corey’s YouTube channel.
Oh yeah—we totally asked if he’d go ghost hunting with us. You know we had to.
