Oh, really?
I'm not even joking.
And don't throw a mama from the train
He tried to kill me.
What?
I said he's trying to kill me
Yeah, exactly.
Now, that's a classic I can I can I have seen.
I've never seen this one, though.
Who else hasn't seen this one, by the way?
Is it just me?
It's Just me.
You're the only one, Adrian?
Shame shame.
Same shame.
And this movie came out 39 years ago.
I know that because it came out in 1986 the same year I was born.
So we are the same.
This is the year that it's
isn't it?
It's. anniversary?
Are we in the year of the fif?
No, it's 86.
I'm looking at it right now.
I Are you?
Yep.
Because they're celebrating it Oh, you're right.
I'm sorry.
You're right.
You're right.
You're right.
It's the 40th anniversary this year.
That's crazy.
Yeah, I knew there was some sort of anniversary because we were doing a special at Mary Pickford.
Yeah.
That's a wild...
This movie came out the same years Back to the Future.
That's crazy.
Hey, by the way, Back to the Future.
I have a fun factor that.
Goonies and Back to the Future, the
Part one, take place on the same day.
Oh, really?
Yeah.
Oh, So if you.
Oh, 1986.
Yeah.
I've heard this year name.
Yeah, so if you, if you watch the movie, obviously,
Okay.
in Back to the Future, you see the present day.
It says 10
whatever the date is, 10, 26th, 1985.
And that's the present day of Back to the Future.
And then if you go, there's like little details in
the Goonies that shows that it actually takes place on the same day.
Wow Like there's calendar behind where Brand is
working out and this is October.
And then Mouth says something like,
oh, it's is this this isn't a nuclear Saturday.
This is our only This is our last Saturday
that we're together because like we don't know where we're going to be next time.
And then they also show a newspaper in
the movie where like it says the date.
It says Thursday, October 24th, 1985.
So that takes place a couple days before
you know, and it has like their fertities on theilities on the cover.
Is it when they learn paper back then?
That's it.
That's all I wanted to say..
I'm not going to say anything else, look.
That's it.
I don't know.
It's just be a Reagan.
We get back to def future and Goonies in the theater.
I
Oh, yeah.
You know what?
I just thought we should make America good again.
That's what we should do.
Somebody put that on a shirt somewhere.
It'll become very popular right now.
Hey, by the way, if you're
listening or watching this right now and you also haven't seen the Gonis, Goon, the Goonis, if you got a goon
The go.
I got the goonis.
You got to put it in your goonus.
We'll get into that Italian accent later.
Where's happening?

But before we get to that, I want to find out.
I mean, should we start with me since I'm the only one that hasn't seen it?
Normally I start with someone else.
Adrian.
Yes.
You haven't seen that movie, right?
I haven't.
Arnold, thanks for asking.
No, it's my pleasure.
So what was your initial thoughts?
I'm glad you asked, because I have notes, guys.
I have to fire my notes really quick.
Ready for this?
You're going to love this.
You're going to love this..
You have 10 seconds.
Not the broken penis, kids cussing.
You don't see that anymore.
Feldman is the Haley Joe Osman of the 80s.
I'm probably wrong about that one.
Teenage Josh Brolin appears
drug references in Spanish by kids.
That's all you don't see every day.
Kids talking about sexual torture.
Same thing.
Whipped cream.
Everyone shits on mouth, a.k.
Corey Feldman. 80s music video.
You gotta have that.
The really subdued Josh Berlin.
I don't know why I wrote that.
The tropes.
Oh, yeah.
I'm starting to see where Stranger
Things and like eight or Super 8 got a lot of their troubes from.
It came straight from the Goonies.
Like
Watching this movie is one of those movies that makes you realize, oh, that's where those tropes came from.
Hey, you guys, obviously, kids suck.
Oh, somebody says, kids suck, and I put real.
Short- haired chick.
The short- haired chick reminds me of Barb from Stranger Things. there anyone else that's that?
Yes, yes.
As soon as I saw her connection is almost
uncanny.
R.I.P.
Barb.
Not short round saying that they can dig all the way to China.
Who would ever want to kiss with their eyes open?
I wrote that.
My favorite line from that was like when he he's like,
uh, yeah, the booby trap.
Yeah, booty trap.
That's what I said.
Booty trap.
That's what I said.
I'm not Liber.
That was a great line.
Bumbling Bad guys, that
seems familiar, considering this was written by the guy that wrote Home Alone.
The Birth canal waterslide, that was cool.
Data.
I like the name.
I like that his name is Data.
He's got all the fucking, the gimmicks.
What do you call him?
The fucking The gimmicky stuff.
The inventions.
Corey Held Corey Feldman gets beated.
Right?
That was a great moment.
That was the main dark hair Italian guy, he was in Die Hard.
He was like the guy that is at the security desk and then shoots the guys he comes in.
I was like, he looks so familiar.
I know I've seen him in something else.
I'm almost done.
Sloth saves the day.
Cool shirt, by the way.
Who's got the beanie or the fucking Alex, I think that was you, right?
You have the fucking, there you go.
Slav saves the day.
I love, I get the reference now because Donner and Darted Superman.
Um,
Domino's product placement at the very end,
uh, Dad's mom.
Dad's mom is a baddie, I wrote.
I wrote, of course, the Mexican made Lady Saves the Day.
Pirate chip, and then, of course, one I-eyed Willie.
I'll show you my one-eyed Willie, right, Arnold?
So
that's what I have for notes..
Anyway,
um, yeah, do we want to break any of those down?
I mean, there seems like to be a lot of famous moments from this movie.
Well, I think that was a lot.
One thing I do want to know is like, why did it take you so long to watch it?
I don't know.
Yeah.
I don't know.
You told me that you heard you refused to watch it.
Yeah.
Yeah.
You told all of the.
No, I said I refused to watch the original Top Gun, right?
Or was it Goon it?
I feel like it was Top Gun.
You said Goon.
I think to me you said Goonies, which is why I was like, oh, we're going to get you to watch it.
I think I was going through one of my phases where were like, it's too popular and cool, so I won't watch it.
But I'm like, yeah, get over.
Maybe that's probably why I said that, to be honest.
Did you like it, though?
Yeah, no, I here's the thing.
I enjoyed it.
I feel like if I had watched it when I was a kid, I probably would have enjoyed it more
Because it's like one of those movies I think that
like sticks would have stuck with me as I'd gotten older.
But because I watched it as an adult, it doesn't hit the same.
And it's interesting.
I feel like I would have missed a lot of stuff like that
I caught as an adult if I had, you know, so yeah.
But yeah, I enjoyed that.
it's that whole like rose-colored lenses type thing too.
Like if you, you were to watch it when you were younger, you
would like probably have much fonder memories
of like the film and, you
know, what was going on in your life at the time and
for me, like I, I have, I didn't watch until like I was a teenager.
Like I was working at VD Depot and that's when I finally watched it.
And but I do have like fond memories of watching it back then because
um, I was working for Video Depot and there was
a girl that I like that like worked there and, you know.
Yeah.
And you know, uh, I feel like I was watching a lot of fucked up shit at that time.
I was watching like the child's Play movies when I was a kid.
The NeverEnding Story, like that movie fucked me up.
Oh, yeah.
You know, I was watching Gremlins.
I don't know how I didn't end up watching.
You think I would have watched it because I was watching all those other movies from that era.
Oh, I thought you were going to say like, like even worse shit.
Remembermember Alex in Video Depot when they were
oh, gosh.
It was like, I don't know why they had it on video that you can rent, but it was like,
oh, people who are getting like
massacred or like death death.
It was There was two different series.
There was faces of death and traces of death.
They were like traces of death was like me.
Yeah, it was like the rip-off version.
It had some of the same stuff.
I I don't know the huge difference between you,
just like somebody else wanted to make money off of that whole thing.
I like that someone made a ripoff version of Faces of Death.
Yeah. you're tell me there's
a ripoff version of the human Centipede movies or something.
Yeah, I'm sure there is.er.
But, you know, I
now that I think about it, wasn't faces of Death. wasn't
it wasn't it, um banned?
Oh, yeah.
I faces death for a period of time.
And so I would imagine that like, oh, well, if this is traces of, this isn't faces of death.
So it' it might even be the same company that like made it, just
edited out certain things and changed the name.
And so, I don't know.
Yeah.
Not to go on too much of a tangent about this, but does anybody remember
Killer Clowns from Outer space?
Yeah.
I remember that.
That's the kind of shit I was watching.
Oh, yeah.
Oh, Arnold, we got to watch that then.
That's Respectable.
That sounds kind of scary.
No, it's campy scary, right?
Justin, you've seen it.
Yeah, it's a camp fist.
It's super catchy.
It's bad.
It's so good, it's bad. type of deal.
Which means Arld will be scared.
It's as scary as lawnmowers than I would say.
Poo bear, where are you, Poo bear?
Oh, yeah.
Anyways, take us off track.
So Adrian.
Yes.
Were there any other favorite moments?
I want to say, the first thing thing I
noticed about Sloth was that he was wearing the Superman shirt and the gray pants.
And I think he was wearing Chuck Taylor's.
And I was like, this guy knows how to dress, considering he's like locked
up in a basement and like watching TV or whatever
in in a in an old like basement dungeon thing.
He's like knows how to dress.
Like he's like a total
total nerd boy.
So I thought that was cool.
Did you notice?
Did you notice he was wearing a radar shirt?
Was that part?
No, I don't know. the one that he rips off?
Well, where he's locked up, that he's the first time you see him, he's wearing a radar shirt.
But he actually played for the Raiders and he won two Super Bowls for the Raiders.
Oh, that's..
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
He's the Hills H R guy, right?
Yeah.
Yeah. name?
I forget the actor's name.
Yeah.
Oh.
John Metusack or something Bu.
Yeah.
He's a football player, yeah, he He's like literally on the cover of
the original., John Matuzzac.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Matuzzac, yeah, yeah.
For the record, he's like that doesn't really look like that.
No, no.
I wonder if he played.
That was five hours of makeup for Goonies, I heard.
That's crazy.
Wow.
I can imagine.
He's tall.
Yeah.
He's like a 6'8".
He's pretty tall, dude.
Maybe a linebacker, you know?
You know, with another sack.
Speaking of like the makeup effects,
like the scene where like sloth is like wiggling
his ears, it's actually a pretty good like mechanical prosthetic that you put on there.
I was like, oh, that's kind of an interesting thing that they got his face to do.
I think it's an interesting choice to make his ears
move because like he's supposed to be human, right?
Like, why is it is he is moving?
I don't know.
Is he aliens?
He's happy.
They're just deformed, I thought.
I get it, but like
It's not human.
He can't be human.
They talked about it in the end, right?
It's because his mom dropped him on his head a couple of tea sort of.
There's
an actual term for that, but it's an actual deformation.
His eye ended up down here.
It's exaggerated, obviously.
I can actually relate to sloth in a little bit of.
I thought.
Kind of, Kind of.
So like when I was a baby, my
mom liked to like throw me up into the air, right?
Oh, shit.
She liked to throw me up into the air.
So like one day she threw me a bit too high and
I went straight into the ceiling fan
Oh, shit.
It was kind of like.
Yeah, it was great.
Break!
Fall!
There's There's a really fucked
up condition that some babies are born with, though, where they look super deformed.
I always come across those videos on reels for
some reason, but sometimes you'll see them on TikTok where it's like people who are like really deformed.
Have you guys ever come across that?
Or am I the only one?
My algorithm..
Yeah, I have.
The algorithm's fucked up.
All kinds of.
All right.
Yes.
I know what you're talking about, and I've seen that, yeah.
So maybe I'm.
Yeah, yeah.
I thought that's what Sloth had, maybe
Or maybe, you know, you're saying he was a football. he had the same thing OJ had.
CP?
What's it called?
Well,
Well, he died and He died.
He died in 89.
He like a few years after the movie came out.
And I was right.
He was on a defensive end.
Oh, he was he?
Yeah.
He died from an overdose, I believe, Oh, shit.
Yeah.
That's crazy.
Well, I mean, too many baby Ruths, you know?
Hey, but, you know, at least he's immortalized
in this movie because I feel like, I feel like, this movie's
up there with Back to the Future Gremlins,
fucking all these other 80s.
Home Alone.
Home Alone.
Rocky.
All the John Hughes movies from that era, like fucking Breakfast
Club and definitely like a cult classic for sure.
What's cool about it too, is It's like the kids' version of Indiana Jones.
Yeah, yeah.
Well, short rounds in Literally, I mean.
Literally, yeah.
I think that's what happened.
I think somebody was like, we need a kid's version of Indiana Jones Jones.
And Spielberg was like, bet, let's make it..
After I finished watching it, Indiana
Jones came on like as the very next movie.
Oh, really?
Did that come around the same time?
Because Harrison Ford I read, actually visited the set of the Goodies and actually played around in the Caves.
So I wonder if it's like around the same time.
No, I think
the, because short Round was in Indiana Jones.
He was the second one, yeah.
Yeah, so that came out before because he looks younger in that movie.
Okay.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
And Temple of Doom, you mean, right?
Yeah, and Temple of Doom.
He looks young. in this movie.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah, at least a year or two older.
I was thinking not to be that guy, but I was thinking they wouldn't make a movie like this these days.
I feel like I feel like it's it's a little too edgy for
like today's audiences, like with kids. you know, talking about.
I think the tone wouldn't be the same.
I think the tone wouldn't be the same, but from what I hear, I haven't watched it yet.
I think you've watched it, Adrian.
The new Star Wars skeleton crew.
I haven't, actually.
I've been avoiding.
Have any of you guys watched it?
I haven' seen yet.
So I know, I haven't seen much of it, but I I know. a
few effects about it just by watching a little bit of it.
Yeah.
I've just heard that it's kind of like, like the
like a Star Wars version of The Goonies.
That's what I've heard, too.
Yeah.
Interesting.
We'll have to watch it.
He also has a weird correlation with Captain Eo.
Who's that?
Michael Jackson.
Really?
Yeah.
Anyway, we're not going to get into too much of a tangent of it, but
there is a correlation between Skeleton Crew and Captain Eo.
We'll have a research department look into it.
But another thing I want to talk about., you said you
were really excited to talk about the Goonies tonight.
Tell me, what does this movie mean to you?
Well, it was just very nostalgic, right?
Because I watched it a long time ago when I was younger.
And then I I bought it.
I had it on Blu-ray, so I didn't even know I bought it, but I I
bought it a few months ago so I could show my son when he was old enough and he's he's probably old enough now we're getting there.
So I have better have a rewatched it.
So this was the first time that I rewatched it.
And it was just a huge, like, uh, like a
lot of nostalgic stuff, you know, that that was going on.
And so I liked it for that reason.
That's why I was really curious to see if you would like it since you've never watched it and you've watched as an adult.
So yeah, And I did like it..
It makes me, it makes me feel, it makes me wish I had't
seen it as a kid, because I feel like I would have loved it as a kid
you know?
It's funny I remember liking it, but I still enjoyed it as an
adult, you know, in a different way because of all the nostalgia.
For sure.
Donald me.
I had no idea that that we bought the movie as well.
I I almost rented it. and I was like, wait, let me see if I have this shit.
I still rented it, though, because you still renting it was like, we have it on Blu-ray.
We have a Blu-ray player.
But for whatever reason, it wasn't playing that DVD
And I was just like, screw it.
I'm just going to, it was four bucks.
So I rented it on the Amazon.
Does anybody
Yeah.
have DVD Blu-ray players still?
I feel like a lot of people are phasing those out of their home.
I'm for one.
I mean, if you have like a PlayStation or Xbox,
but even then they're trying to phase that out of, they're trying to make everything digital.
So you'll never own your movies again.
It kind of annoys me.
because I like to own physical media.
I have a whole fucking taste as thick, full of DVD
No, yeah, sorry.
Was that was there anything else, Donnie you wanted to share about Goonies?
No, I mean, I think I first got like my first moment
of excitement for nostalg nostalgia- wise.
It was like when what was that character's name?
He came out and remember his only jacket.
Mouth?
I was like, oh, I used to have one of those.
I still have one.
You still have one?
I wish I still had mine, but I had a red one.
It was pretty dope, but it was exactly.
I have a black one like Michael Knighton Knight Rider.
Yeah.
Nice, nice.
Some Gen Z kid's watching this right now and is going to be like, oh, I'm going to start work.
And then I becomes like the mix.
Bring it back.
I dress more like chunk now, you know, with the Hawaiian shirts and stuff.
That's like my season.
Hell yeah.
Justin, what about you?
What does Goonies mean to you?
Because I feel like this is one of your all-time favorite movies, right?
Right?
Yeah, it's one of my favorite, you know, action adventure movies.
There's a little bit of mystery.
uh, it just kind of, uh, whenever I put the
Goonies on, even though now it kind of just acts as like a background
thing that I'll watch on occasion.
It always brings a smile to my face when,
when I boot it up and I start hearing like Cindy Lauper and all that good stuff.
And I love Cindy Lauper.
I don't care what anybody says.
I think she
is, uh, amazing amazing artist, but.
She's amazing.
Yeah, she is amazing.
You know, shout out Cindy Lauper still doing tours, by the way..
It's our last tour.
This is our last tour.
Oh, yeah, it is her last time.
I wanted to go.
They played out Packersher, Arnold.
Why didn't you give me tickets?
Why didn't you give me tickets?
What the fuck?
Anyway, what's going on?
Stop bullying me.
Stop.
You know she hated that song that she made for the Goodies?
She was she trying to get.
Good enough?
Really?
Yeah, good enough, yeah.
For you, it's good enough for
me It's good enough.
Anyway, um
Josh Brolin Thanos, like Yo, that's crazy.
I think I think I think it's crazy to see where
they've been and where they are because I don't remember Josh Brolin
being in anything else prior to this movie, to be honest.
And for him to be to be kind
of a sort of a background character.
Like, yeah, he's he's a main part of the Goonies,
but he kind of like sits back from all the other kids as well.
It's's their movie more so than it is his,
but it's just, and then, and then Sean Astin
seeing him so, so young.
And then
I watched like the Lord of the Rings recently.
I just binged that.
And just seeing how just the
different like steps in and in acting, they all have in the future.
I'm not so much Corey Feldman.
I think he kind of
Hollywood fucked him up and spit him out, unfortunately.
But, hey, you know what?
At least he's doing good, you know, touring with his band or whatever it is.
Yeah.
And then, and then was it Chunk?
He's all fit and thin and I
don't know what he does, but he does, he does, I think he does like producing or something.
He does something.
I forget what else he does.
He has his hands in a lot of shit.
Like he's have a lot of movies.
Yeah
Yeah.
And then, um Data or
Kiwi, he's, uh, you know, obviously, everything everywhere, all at Once.
And it's just, it's interesting to see some of these characters.
Um, you know, you, you kind of move on
and see them in other projects later on in their life.
And some of them have left completely.
Some of them have like hopped back in after leaving for like a long period of time.
And it's just, uh, it's just kind of interesting that you can kind of
still see like this history.
Like I, it was a little bit of a, I don't know.
I'd say like back in the day, it wasn't, um, easy
to kind of like follow someone's career,
but I feel like nowadays you can kind of follow anyone's career
as far back as however you want to go.
Um, and then just kind of live their
life vicariously through the films that they act in, which is kind of nice.
But I always, I always recommend the Goonies.
I worked with like a lot of of younger people
and I'm always like telling them movies that they should go see.
I'm like, eh, you should go see like my cousin Vinny or, you know, the Goonies.
And a lot of them, a lot of them haven't
seen a lot of the movies that we all grew up with.
And
they're, you know, they're force fed, you know, all
these action things and with high-tech
CGI or, you know, just billion dollar budget and things like that.
I'm like, you know, you know, like older movies are
definitely a fine wine type of thing.
And every time that, you know, I recommend something like that, you know, they're like, oh, you know what?
That was a really good movie.
And then they get interested in like the directors and other actors.
So I feel like the Goonies was like one of the first movies for me where
I was able to kind of like, I enjoyed all these characters.
They were all like mad mapped out very well.
And later on in life, as far as like
the actors go, I'm able to kind of you know, follow their careers relatively easily.
And I've enjoyed every single one of them when I they are on screen
You know, even now that one
of them's not necessary, two of them are not necessarily on
screen anymore, but they still have a presence in some shape or form.
But The Goonies is a classic.
And I say that the nostalgia factor does come into play
for sure, but I
think if you were able to just kind of take, if you're able to just kind of
in my opinion, I feel like the way that you should have
watched it, Adrian was going into it like this is just
this is this is an adventure movie about
these kids who are just trying to help their parents out.
And they go they go on
one last big adventure together, much like all
of us in our lives, we all have that final adventure that we go on with our friends
whether we don't see them for a very long time or,
you know, we'll see them, you know, eventually, whatever the
case, wherever life takes us, this is kind of like
that last summer that you have in school with your friends.
And I think that's what really sells this movie for me is I can
relate to it.
Yeah, their parents are rich.
They have this really nice house near the bay in
the mountains of Astoria.
I can't relate to the rich part, but I
can relate a lot to the friendship because there's a lot of
a lot of friendships I've had in the past that I probably
will never see or talk to those people ever again, even though
we were so closely clicked.
And I, I kind of wish I had a moment like this where
we were able to just go out with a bang one final summer.
Um, you know, before
you know, we parted ways, you know, and that that's what the Goonies means to me.
Very well said, Justin.
Thank you for that.
It reminds me of this one me, my scene where
it goes something like, uh, you know, you think back.
It's when you spend time with your friends and and you don't know, you don't know when the last time is that you'll do that.
Like, you know, like the last time that you
play N 64 on a Friday night with pizza and Mountain Dew.
Like you you never remember like when the last, you know, you never know in the moment when the last time is that's going to happen, right?
So appreciate the time you do have with the people that you have in your life.
And yeah, that's a good, that's why I feel like
almost nostalgic for a time.
I didn't get to experience, which was not watching this movie as a kid, you know,
but hearing that perspective from someone like you, who's, who watched it young, you know, that's great.
That's good to know, you know?
It's good to know what I missed out on.
So thank you very much for that.
You're welcome.
But yeah, very well said.
Alex, yeah, what about you?
Very well said.
I know this is a, well, I don't know, actually.
Is this part of your, is this like up there in the
Mount Rushmore of your favorite movies or is this just kind of, where does it rank?
of like all these kinds of like um
youth oriented type movies.
I think it's one of my top favorites, you know?
I think, you know, if it is like probably the
top favorite as far as like this kind of genre is
concerned of where like kids going off and having an adventure,
you know, like, I don't only things I could think of was like, stand by me, you know?
Which is like a lot darker.
Which I have seen.
Yeah.
It's And Feldman was in that too, too, right?
Yeah.
I think.
Yeah.
And Sean Aston as well, I thought, or no.
No, not Sean Aston.
Sean Astston wasn't some other
movie.
Was it Corey He?
River Phoenix.
River Phoenix, yes.
Pho That's what I'm thinking about.
It was a bunch of really young actors who were like,
like eventually became like bigger names.
Oh, yeah.
Even Corey Felman, like, as he got older
eventually became this teen heartthrob.
Right.
But like, um, you know, the 80s got them.
Yeah, yeah.
It's, uh, you know, but as far as like, this kind of is concerned,
I really enjoyed, like
reliving this, this film just because I, it's
like like you, Justin, I do put it on occasionally.
So it ends up being on the background.
But at the same time, when I do a deep dive
and like actually have this opportunity to watch the film
like for the show,
I actually end up delving in deeper and seeing like the
little details that like, like Richard
Donner is a genius in like a lot of smaller details.
Like there's a scene where
Mikey is asking to use the bathroom, right?
They're in the hideout.
And then Chunk is like, He's like, you don't want to use the bathroom here.
There's like spiders.
And then he turns around.
I didn't notice it at the time, but then when I watched
it, I was like, he's like, or dead people?
He says, but in the background, you see like one of the Fertellis
carrying one of the dead bodies
a silhouette.
And I didn't even notice that.
It was like certain things.
Like it was kind of like remind me of like Ghost World where
like just like the minutia going on in the background, right?
Like, like in Ghost World, there was that
girl who's pregnant smoking a cigarette, you know?
It was like little things like that, like little details.
And that's what makes the world building
for something like this.
It's as flawed as it is, kind of, it's still really cool.
You know, like, I really love the details.
Like, and one of the other things I really enjoyed
about it was like the sets, you know?
The practical sets, you know, and one of the sets when they were going underground
it reminded me of like, Arnold and I went to the Portland Underground, right?
They call it the Shanghai tunnels.
Yeah.
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
And it's crazy.
Yeah.
Like in Portland, there was these like tunnels
where like, like people who like
work on ships, they would like kidnap people.
And what they would do is like, like they would get like, they
would partner with like these bars or whatever restaurants.
and they would find, like they would they would have a victim, right?
Or like they'd have a target who would be
sitting on the bar and he'd be like really drunk and they would like,
the bartender would be like ring a bell and,
um, they would let notify like the guys who were downstairs in
the tunnel that like they got a, they got a target and they would, um,
they would pull a drop door and
right underneath the guy would fall and like they'd
kidnap him and sell them for blood money and like the farthest port was was Shanghai, China.
And that's why I call it, they call it like the whole term comes like, uh, I've been Shanghai
you know?
So, but yeah, those tunnels, like the,
just, especially the scene where like you saw like the pipes and everything like
that, it reminded me of us when we were down in the Portland Underground.
Yeah.
He's all putting the pipes.
It's funny that you the pipeses.
Are you that was shaking the pipes like this?
It's funny that you mentioned in
Portland because Astoria is in Oregon.
Oh, is it?
I thought it was.
Oh, Aststoria is in Oregon.
It's in Astoria.
Is it Oregon is it in Washington
Is it?
No, it's Oregon.
It's Oregon.
Yeah, yeah, for sure.
Okay.
Yeah.
Yeah, I always get those, I mean, it's the Pacific Northwest, so I always get those touring stuff.
But I did find out.
Yeah.
It makes sense to why the feeling was there.
Yeah.
It makes sense, though, that like, so
in Astoria, it was actually originally supposed
to be the big, major city on the West Coast.
Like, before Seattle, before Portland, before
San Francisco, it was meant to be
like the major port city.
But there's like a there's like a what
do you call it, a river that's like super dangerous where
like the the the sands
underneath it shifts so much that like ships that would go in there would crash or sink.
It's like
I guess, I mean, it kind of makes sense if you think about the history
of like actual Astoria and why there's like pirate ships.
Like why they would base the Goonies in Astoria.
It makes so much sense now.
Like if you think about it, like how it was originally supposed
to be the main port of the West Coast.
Do you think there were kids around
then, like after that movie came out, that they actually
went and started looking for pirate shit in there?
I probably would have.
I would I probably would have been.
I probably would have been.
I probably would have been on my way like, like what's with Josh Brolin?
But then, you know, right on.
On your bike with the training wheels?
train wheels?
With a little sweater tied around my shoulders.
Dude, I loved like the forest and everything.
Like that's the type of thing that as a kid, I would have loved to have explored.
I know.
Yeah, for sure.
Same.
It'll be so fun to play ninjas in there.
Oh, dude, ninjas were amazing.
How do you in all the trees and stuff like that?
Going ninja stars with each other?
Alex, you're talking about Astoria was meant to be like the big city.
See, Daddy Trump is talking about making Canada part of the U.S. No, you know
what he should do is create the state of Jefferson
and make a story of the capital city of it.
There you go.
Now we have Astoria in the great state of Jefferson, you know?
He's wasting time trying
to take over Canada and, you know, the Panama Canal.
No, make the state of Jefferson, Daddy Trump.
Do it.
Where would the state of Jefferson be?
You would just cut off part of Northern California and
the southern part of Oregon and just make that the state of Jefferson.
So you got to take away land from California
and Oregon and make this fictional state, yeah.
Is he wanting the business?
What's that?
Does it make sense now, Arnold?
No.
Well, I don't like it because he's essentially taking away a part of the emerald Triangle.
Is that what he wants?
I'm saying he should do that.
Instead of trying to make Canada part of the U.S., right?
He's getting pissed.
Look at his face... the state of Jefferson.
And if he wants to, just for his own eagle, make his own little state, we'll call it Trump Landia or something.
I don't know.
What Gilroy as well?
What's that?
Gil Gilroy?
Would that include Gilroy as well?
The land The takeway Arnold's garlic.
I don't know what Gilroy is.
Oh, you can hang a piece of meat outside, and then it'll
just marinate. in the air and smell like garlic.
It'll
permeate.
It's the capital of garlic where garlic grows.
Yeah, gotcha.
If you ever go there, put your meat out there and then let it hang.
Yeah, Mark always gets his meat out there.
No matter what anything that's ner all the time.
Arld Arld wants to show us his one-eyed Willie, right, Arnold?
Yeah.
Not really.
This guy gets it.
I like this kid.
No, anyway, but that's good, though.
Arnold, what is good news mean to you?
I feel like we haven't gone to you yet.
Oh.
So I had seen the movie about
20 years ago or more.
Because Alex, the first time I' seen it was
was it one of those nights where we would renting like five
movies and then it was like a Friday night and we'd spend the night at Tony's and then..
Probably then we just watch movies.
I think those.
We rented a lot of like movies, so it could have been one of them.
I know renting like
The Holy Alex was working at the video store.
Yeah...
Yep.
So I was probably like 10 or 11 years old when I watched it.
And I don't know.
I I mean, I remember loving the movie, but did I remember the story?
No.
What did I remember?
I remembered Data.
I didn't even remember his name, but his name is Data with all the gadgets.
And I just thought that was so cool, like an Inspector gadget or something.
And because because I was a fan of like MacGyver
and I loved how MacGyver would make all his
all his stuff out of nothing.
But, well, but Data, I mean, that wasn't really out of nothing.
He had all the, like the punching bag
hand that was just right there and the lights.
I thought that was pretty cool.
You know, and just all the little gadgets, I thought that was, that really stuck out to me
which had nothing to do with the whole story.
That was like one thing I saw, and I was just fixed on that.
I was like, yeah, that's cool.
And he's on an adventure.
That's the kind of guy that you need on your team.
Oh, yeah.
I wouldn't say that the gadgets he
had didn't help the story at all.
I feel like some of the gadgets either deterred
them or let them move forward, depending
on the situation his gadgets were being used.
His gadgets also inspired a band name, Slick Shoes.
Oh, I didn't know.
There's a p band from the 90s called Slick Shoes.
From the 90s, right?
It's crazy how influential that movie was, right?
In for many different reasons for different people.
Exactly.
Yeah.
Which surprises me because like,
like I't we've gone to Arnold and I, we've
gone to comic conventions for like half our lives.
And you'd never see anybody like cosplay
as the Goonies or they don't really really talk about the Goonies.
But you'd think that like at comic conventions,
the actors, even before they got bigger names,
they'd be going to like conventions doing signings all the time.
You'd think that, right?
They's such part of like the
zeitgeist of like childhood and pop culture
and it feels like such an important film.
At least for me, in my perspective, that
like, why doesn't Goonies get more loved?
You know?
Yeah, wait a minute.
There's one, two, three, four, five, here.
So we've got data.
We've got mouth.
What are the other names?
Shunk?
Adrian's mouth.
If that's where we're going, Adrian's mouth.
I'll be mouth, yeah.
Who's going to fight for mouth?
I want mouth.
I want to be mouth.
Arnold loves mouth.
He's a stylish dude.
Take me to Goontown, baby.
I don't know.
Arnold is Josh Berlin.
What's his character's name?
I don't.
Brandon Brand.
Brandon Brand's.
Oh, which I just I was looking up, and I was like, And then there's Mikey.
Mik.
Oh, Mikey.
Oh, yeah, Mikey.
Who would be Mikey then?
Who would be Mikey?
I could do a good lisp.
Yeah.
You want to be?
Arnold I bet you think.
Were you trying to say earlier about
Data's gadgets that?
It wasn't.
It came in handy in the story, but you didn't know how
it pertained to anything else relating to the story.
Like he just happened to have all these gadgets with him.
I just thought it was so cool.
And then and and I just didn't even really pay attention to the story.
But I knew, like, oh, what a cool adventure that they're on.
I remember I remember like it being like an adventurous kind of
movie, like kind of like journey to the center of the ass.
Center of the ass?
Excuse me?
say center of the ass.
I think you pardoned?
Centered ass.
I said journey to the center of the ass?
That's what I heard.
That's.
I sort of booty trap for me.
You mean booby trap?
That's what I said.
Oh, gosh.
When that was happening, I
was like, dude, I
did not know that that actually happened, but I
like subconsciously do that now.
But like, like jokingly.
Like, you know how I do here..
Which which I just thought was hilarious.
And Carla and I were watching that and yeah, joking.
Yeah, you never told a single joke on this show.
You've always just said what you say.
I am I'm usually always
all about business, you know.
Oh, Chunk.
There was one part.
I'm just talking about like stuff that I kind of like relate now.
At the beginning when they're like, hey,
Chunk, do the the truffle shuffle.
And they they like make him do something
So that way they can laugh because it's like entertainment.
Kind of reminds me like, like back like in my partying days,
you remember the dance, Alex.
The shovel?
Oh, yeah, the shovel.
It's one of my favorite moves that you do, Arnold.
It's probably the best dance movie you do.
You got to shoot a video that and like post
it to our Instagram now.
Oh, Give us an example. right now.
Can you do it?
Can you do it?
Yeah, space for our for our listeners, this is the
visual portion of our podcast.
Yeah, on the YouTube, you guys got to watch.
You can only catch us on YouTube
or if you follow us on our videos that we post.
Okay, I'm going to put my headphones down right quick.
All right, let's see.
So I'm going to kind of describe it for you guys.
It's almost like a crypt walk mixed
with like just the motions of like of like shoveling.
Shoveling.
Shoveling.
He's got to really prepare for this.
So, you know, you get the shovel.
Okay, yeah, right.
And then...
Doesn't a c walk?
It's got the slight cripw nature to it.
It does.
You got to get the feet.
You got to get the feet gone.
Yeah, you have to see the feet to see the Cripw influence.
It's not as sexual as the roller coaster.
I will say that.
So thank you.
Have
you tried combining the the roller coaster and the shovel?
Oh my God, yes.
The roller coaster transitionitioning into the shovel.
Yeah.
He wouldn't be able to do it because his arms would be trapped in the roller coaster
He definitely had to know what's funny too.
You know what's funny?
We During
Christmas, we were visiting with our friend Donald and Christina, and
Donald was actually able to help Arnold like give us a visual display
of the roller coaster, which is hilarious.
It was like thinking because, you know, you know, because I'm like 150 pounds.
And so like he did that.
And then I was like, oh, yeah, yeah, I'm kind of heavy.
You know, 150 pounds.
I'm 150 pounds.
Okay, that Arnold, keep telling yourself.
Oh.
I am.
I am.
It's on his driver's license, okay?
Go on, Arnold.
Go on.
Tell your story.
Oh, yeah, so he got to demonstrate for
Alex and my friend Christina, friend Christina.
And he did it like, he he knew what was up.
He was a fan.
His fan of the movie.
He grew up in those times.
Donald knows him as well.
His name is Donald.
Oh, Christina You guys know a lot of Donald, too.
Apple C, Donald and Christina, Donald Trump, as friends of
Arnold, you
should actually take that on tour, the roller coaster, and the shovel.
You know what I?
Jump on the coaster.
Yeah.
We're We're going to pave the way with the shovel.
Yeah.
You, we're going to pave the way.
I like it..
One other thought that I had about the movie Goonies.
I was like, you know how you
were just talking about like the awesome sets and everything and just
like, you know, they're going underground and then there's the water. and there's like the
their hideout place that they
went to, the Woodsy area.
That would be a really,
really cool, like, if that
was like a ride like at, an amusement park or something.
I think
of like Pirates of the Caribbean, and you Or Indiana Jones.
Yeah, ET the Ride.
Remember E.T. the R and Universal?
That was fun. peace
Yeah.
I went to a Universal Studios, well, just
recently, a couple weeks last week, but before that last year,
and I asked for the ET ride because I hadn't been in so long and the person wasn't after me.
They're like, that's been gone..
I was like, oh, it's.
They haven't in Florida.
They still have it in Florida.
I got to go to Florida.
Oh, shit.
Yeah.
Yeah, but you got to go to Florida
I remember on the E.T. ride.
So like we we have a mutual friend, Donald
Arnold and I. We have a mutual friend named NC, right?
N-AARC-Y.
And I don't know if you've ever been on the
ET ride, but at the very beginning, of the ride, you give you give them your name.
And she gave her name, right?
Narsi
And at the end, we got to it. and the
computer had like like a brain fart when they were trying to say
her name.arky.y.y.
Who needs an arc?
I thought she', yeah.
All right.
Well, Arnold, any final thoughts before we move into the final part of the show?
Yeah, Oh, one of the, of course, how can we not talk about
one
of the funniest parts, you know, when they get out all the
jewels and then mouth has all the
stuff in his mouth and then like, you know, he's like hiding it.
And then he pulls up like
the pearls and got beat.
The B is It made me think made me laugh.
It made you too.
It would make you think of?
What did it make you think of?
You're about to say it.
You ever said it about, Arnold?
A beans?
No, because
Oh, then he even had more jewels in his mouth afterwards.
I thought that was funny.
What about you guys?
It made me think of you, Arnold.
That's what it made me think of.
All right.
Well, I think we've done it, right?
I feel like we've all given our thoughts unless anybody has any actual final thoughts, why don't we move into
the social media portion of our show?
I actually wanted to bring up one thing.
Oh.
So, Steph, the character is Steph, right?
At the very beginning of the, it's always puzzled me.
I don't understand this.
It makes really no sense.
Why is she dunking her head in
water as, you know, at the very beginning of the movie, right?
There's a car chase and then she's
you know, at the and then they're introducing all the characters
and she's this randomly, she dunks her
head in water and she like flips her hair up and she's like, oh, I don't understand that.
Is she like some sea urchin?
Is she like the daughter of like a of a sailor
Like, and she does she?
She seems kind of like a goonie, but
she's hanging out with Andy, who's kind of a popular kid, I guess.
You know?
That whole part does not really make sense to me.
I don't know.
Have you guys thought about this?
Popular girls always have
a lesser attractive girl as one of their friends.
It's like part of the politics of being the popular girl in school, right?
Like in the 80s?
Is that just in the 80s or real life?
Yeah, exactly. 80sic.
How do you keep yourself at that high level of popularity?
You going to have a girl that's only slightly less conventionally
attractive than you, not to say that Steph isn't because Steph is cute, but you know.
And in the movie the world of in
the 80s Hollywood, she's like, qu ugly.
Yeah.
I mean, Donald and I, I think we've had conversations of like the odd cute, you know?
Yeah, I'm into like the odd cute.
Shaw, you know.
You know?
Kristen Shaw, I think, is really cute, even though she's weird
looking.
One thing I also wanted to show,
because Arnold was talking about Data, and I't I just thought it was funny.
I can't find the actual picture, but I sent this to our
friend Kyle Madson when he was doing that, like, why did good girls love Bad Boys?
So like girls like bad
guys just push your time
it's D, that's hilarious.
I was just going to pull up that photo.
Because it just reminded me of like data..
I was Cosplaying data.
And I when I would dress up like that, um that was the thought.
You know, you have like a geared.
Yeah.
Well, that, along with
Heavy duty?
Oh, Heavy Duty.
Supervisce.
Wasn't that a TV show Sleeper Force?
I don't know.
I just remember you were into that
heavy duty character from G.I.J. had the
was on a sus.
Take clips from Star Trek The Next Generation and replace
Brent Spiner with Data from the Goonies.
They probably get farther.
you guys..
Did you guys Star Trek would be way more successful, right?
Yeah.
Did you guys catch at the end when Data was talking about the octopus?
Did you guys catch that?
Oh, yeah.
Yeah, yeah.
But I don't remember him seeing an octopus.
Well, they got rid of that scene, but it used to have a scene where
there was like an octopus that they were fighting the octopus.
Right when they were getting through the ship, they got rid of it.
Oh, that's funny.
Yeah.
That was0.
That reminds me of my friend Chris Devlin.
You know, Amanda,
Donald, you know, Wesley's wife.
Oh, Amanda.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah, so he was joking with me at V Depot.
He was like, he was like talking about the whole octopus scene hes, yeah, it's
on the same director's cut version where you see full frontal nudity of chunk.
shit.
I always think of that joke.
I was like.
Every time somebody brings up the octopus from go.
Octopus?
That's funny.
Was there really full frontal nudity back then?
Yeah, it's a new directctor's cut.
What?
It kid?
Crazy.
What the dude Chunk don't hear about?
All right, guys.
I just want to say really, my one favorite moment in Goonies
was when they're on the ship and the mom slaps.
I think it's Joe Pantiano's hand with the sword.
She just goes, wow.
Yeah.
That was like my favorite moment because he says something.
She's like,
just slaps his hand with the fucking sword.
That was great.
That whole sequence was actually really great.
I think that's like a great way to kept up off the movie with the ship.
The ship that was really awesome.
Yeah, that was dope.
That was where I would picture, like if it was a
ride and then you, well, kind of like the Pirates of the Caribean.
That's the climax.
I think the Goonies would be better.
Yeah, that'd be the climax, Arnold.
Yeah.
That was a real boat, by the way, that they shot.
Oh, was it?
They didn't build that as a set.
No, there Well, when the boat that was floating,
like on the actual sea, that was the real boat, but the boat inside the cave was the set.
Yeah.
Oh, that makes sense.
But the entire cave was a built set.
Yeah, it was water, everything.
Yeah..
Nowadays they would have they would have built like a quarter
of the boat and everything else would be fucking green screen, you know?
Yeah.
They try to get, they try to sell the boat, actually.
Nobody wanted to buy it, so they took it.
Yeah.
You can actually, the, that studio is still um
being used to this day.
Um, at the Universal Studios.
What?
Yeah.
Yeah, they talk about it when you go on the studio tour.
They're still, they're like, oh, this is where the Goonies was filmed.
And at the time, it was it was like one of the world's biggest like studios
It's like 30,000 That's crazy.
Yeah.
It was a real craftsmanship back then.
Didn't Adam the Wu do a set visit in this story?
Oh, there's a reference that In't heard in a while.
Adam the Woo.
This is the second dedicated to hating that guy, Alex.
You should check it out.
There's a subwriter dedicate to H and shitting on.
I' They have videos shitting on.
I don't know why they had him so much.
He's just like passionate about movie studio.
I don't get it.
I get he's a little bit cringe
Like, I get it.
because I know personally, I know personally I
like cringe at some of the stuff he does.
But yeah, like, I agree with you.
He's like, he's doing what he loves.
Like don't.
Don't't yuck his yum.
Exactly.
Exactly.
But hey, I think I think, unless anyone has any
final thoughts, we should go around the room and give our socials.
Alex, I'll start with you.
So I give this film a three and a half.
It's one of my top favorite, like I said, of this genre.
A strong three and a half, right?
Very strong three and a half.
It's a it's, it's, I mean, I give it that three and a
half because it does have its flaws, you know, obviously.
Oh, yeah, yeah.
But
overall, it's got that sort of,
like, like just mentioned that youth,
final adventure type of thing.
And I think that's one of those things that I appreciate about it because
I remember having all those adventures with my friends, you know?
I remember like going off.
I was very like, like much of a lone wolf,
but the times that I would go hang out with my buddies and we'd just do stupid stuff
like as kids, those were those things,
those times meant so much to me, you know, and
I think that's why I could relate to this film, you know,
and I cherished those times because it was just
you being young and,
you know, you had your whole life ahead of you.
So you just didn't think much of like,
you know, but these kids did.
They were thinking about, they were thinking forward.
They were like, this is our last, this, probably our last chance.
Had I been that kind of kid, like, I would cherish the moments
even more so at the time, you know?
And I think in retrospect, I think that's, this is something that like we could all
learn.
And I think it's why it's a good film to show to kids because
it's like, you never know when things
will end for, you know, we'll never see.
Because I do have a best friend, like, I say
best friend as in like he was a kid that I
called my best friend.
I met him in kindergarten.
His name was Matthew.
And like we were like inseparable for like a good two years.
We would hang out all the time.
We'd go to each other's houses
and we just hit it off like instantly in kindergarten.
And like we were friends until like until like, I think the second or third grade and then he moved away.
I didn't even know he was going to move away, you know?
And it was one of those things where like, if I, and I only saw him once
one time after, like his mom brought them over
to like visit with my mom and then his,
unfortunately, his mom passed away. shortly after.
And so we never actually got to hang out again after that.
And so
you know, it's one of those things you got to cherish those times with people.
Like, you have to like cherish
your friends, like, your old friends, your new friends,
the friends you currently have, it's like one of those things where hold them dear.
Like, it's that's that's why like my friendships are so important to me.
Like I
like, will fight to the bitter end to like keep like
people in my lives just because like they, they mean a lot to me.
And like, I may not see them.
Like I like recently a friend of mine, Susan, she like said some really nice things to me.
Like,
and I haven't seen her in a long time, you know,
like, I haven't seen her in years, at least 20.
And, um, but I still
consider, like, her one of my, like, really good friends.
Like, we spent so much time hanging out together.
And I miss
like, our time hanging out.
Like, she used to live in LA off of Melrose.
And that's when like, like my form old days of
like going to LA and hanging out there and checking out stuff and going going to shows.
But it was just such a, like, I have such fond
memories of that and I didn't know if like I'd ever see her again.
And like, you know, we're still friends on like social media and we chat
from time to time, but like that's something I cherish.
And I think that's like what this movie is all about.
Just cherishing your friendships. hold
them, you know, close, call them important.
Definitely.
That's well said.
Oh, and sorry.
Thank you for that.
I charge no one, by the way.
I'm just kidding.
Lie.
You said you said you loved us on New Year's Eve.
Yeah.
What?
I didn't.
That was not me.
That was a ghost.
Liar!
Because I love you.
Yeah.
Now you guys are awesome.
This is fun.
But yeah, my social media, Daily Dares
on all the social media Letterbox, Instagram, all that.
Thank you.
And let's go to you.
Arnold.
Arnold, tell us, what are your working people find you?
Oh, so, they can find me on
all socials. at Arnie Calgo.
Um, uh, my final, uh,
uh, thoughts and the scores.
Um, so last night I ended up watching it last night.
Um, After dinner.
Oh, gosh.
Oh, I had a thick, thick
beef soup that was very healthy..
You know, the start of the year had lima beans and black eyed peas and
Malongi.
What's that you say?
Oh, it's of the most nutritious foods on earth.
I didn't ask.
I didn't ask.
No, no, no.
I heard the people.
Oh, Oh, the audience, huh?
He's on another plane.
Let's just say that.
Audience, Have you tried Mungai?
Let us know.
Let us know the comments.
A.a.
Moringa.
That's what the white people call it.
So anyways, I had that with
with a delicious fried chicken and
um, you know, it was it was a pretty,
pretty good, heavy meal.
And I did not get sleepy at
all watching the movie movie.
We watched it immediately after.
And so the Z rating is zero Z's.
Zero Z's.
Good start.
Then then
for the movie, for nostalgia,
I give it a four four star, but overall,
I'd say three and a half.
I give it three and a half.
Is that what you gave it to, Alex?
Three and a half?
Did you copy me?
I went before you.
How could I copy you?
Not because I wrote it down.
I wrote it down. later.
Yeah, it's because I go to your house all the time, right?
Yeah.
I didn't even know you had that room.
I've never been here there now.
That's because it's Carla's.
Like you said, you know that my room is the kitchen.
Yeah.
That's why I be.
I'd be cooking up stuff, you know?
Go on.
I really love the movie.
It brought me back that that gave me that whole adventure vibe.
And just just it brought me back to like
really why I love the movie, but actually
understood the story and got the whole story this
time, not just like get fixated on one little
aspect and just think that's cool and go and try to dress up like that like data.
But I stayed and watched the whole movie and got the whole story.
Shout out to the Fratelli brother,
who played Cypher in The Matrix.
It's funny.
He always jumped..
Yeah, that's right.
Joe Cipher.
Dude, I forget...
He didn't have hair in that movie.
That's why.
Yeah, he his whole life.
Yeah, damn
I don't wear a hairpiece.
Oh, yeah, he sets the fire by shooting at the ground.
He's all spilling the gasoline or so-called gasoline
all over the ground and his shoes
at the beginning.
And the brother, the other Fratelli brother was, man, what a voice.
What a voice.
He could have he sure could have
They have turned you on, Arnold?
No, I wasn't thinking that.
Now you made me need that chance.
Oh, Exactly.
I just I just want to give his flowers for,
you know, what a great voice that he had.
And, you know, because I sometimes also sing like that
as well.
yeah, just overall, good movie, classic movie.
And I really hope that they turned that into an amusement
park or at least like a ride in an am easeement park.
And God forbid there he making it, am I right?
Oh, yeah They didn't even make the part too, remember?
They were supposed to make a part two They never did it.
Were they?
T late for that now.
They were supposed to.
Yeah.
Too late.
Too late.
Although maybe they should, because most of the Kid cast is still alive as far as I know.
Yeah.
Yeah, they're all alive.
Bring it back.
Yeah.
I think all of them.
Except Bobby from 10..
Somebody's making noise, and I don't know who that is.
I'm not sure.
But you can find me Arnie Klego on all socials.
All right.
All right.
All right.
You should just come like this.
Thanks for that, Arnold.
Appreciate it.
What?
Donnie, where do people find you?
And what is your rating for this movie?
Mainly on Instagram underscore Donnie Appleseed.
My score.
What is it out of?
How many stars again?
Five.
Five.
Honestly, it's up to you.
We just do it's I give it a solid four, dude.
I give it a solid four, a zero Z rating
as Arnold was saying, I can watch this movie.
I will watch this movie again now that I pulled it back out.
Now that I realized it was in my collection this whole time.
I love the, I love it.
I mean, I like Arnold was saying for different reasons, right?
When I watched this as a kid, it was it was very appealing to me.
And I think they I think they did a good job catching, you know, it was made for a certain audience.
It was made for kids
But not a lot of movies can, I guess, capture it correctly, right?
Like they had cussing.
They had like, inappropriate jokes.
And, you know, stuff that kids that age could actually Yeah, a lot of.
Like they had a guy things that kids that age actually like go through,
you know, like, I think a lot of it's censored when movies are made for kids,
but this is true to the sense of humor that kids that age would have.
And I appreciated that.
But yeah, I enjoyed it as an ad adult as well, still found it very interesting.
And again,
I was captivated by it.
It wasn't, I wasn't sleepy at all or anything like that.
So, yeah, I love, I love the movie.
I would definitely recommend it for those who haven't watched it.
Nice, nice.
Thank you for that, Donnie.
All right.
Justin, final thoughts. social media is rating.
Yeah, you can find me
on, well, just go to my Instagram, Shibbs the zombie SHIBBS.
The Zombie.
You're on Twitch.
You can kind of.
I'm on Twitch. stream a game every
now and again, not as much as I used to, but I'm starting to get back into it.
But like, I just want to say, as far as like a final thought goes,
is so at the end of the movie when they're
like, oh, you know, we got the jewels, the doubloons or
whatever, they still had that much left.
Well, the morning or that day
was like the cutoff day.
That was the day that, oh, yeah, you're all are getting evicted.
Get the fuck out, you know?
So, like, how much time do you think it
would take for them to, well, they have the jewels now.
They have to go find somebody to verify that the jewels are real.
Then they have to find somebody that's going to buy the jewels
off of them.
I don't know.
It seems a little farfetched that that pocket
of jewels was going to save that entire town of Astoria
that was getting bulldoz over into what?
What were they doing?
What?
They're going to build a country.
A golf course or golf course, country club.
Yeah.
So
I don't know if, you know, that would have any of that would have cut it, but hey, you know what?
I respect their hopes in that whole thing.
I I'm going to give this movie a solid four out of five.
One of my favorite classic adventure
movies that pretty much anybody can watch.
I mean, although, aside from like the hardcore
violence, like you mentioned, the guy being shot in the head,
the guy in the cruiser, uh, you know, the skeletons and
all that good stuff.
I think it's it's
a really good movie, especially if you're trying to graduate
your little watchers, your children out there.
It's a good movie to graduate into like the PG-13 side of things
I think it's one of those movies that has like a,
has a nice little spectacle going on.
It allows you to like pay attention.
And you can kind of digest all the information happening
really easily with their visuals and everything.
And they have like some really cool, relatable characters.
It's it''s relatively diverse
I would say.
And I think the movie, even for as
old as it is, is still just as relevant
and just as impactful as the
day that it came out, in my opinion.
So
the set design is amazing.
There's Honestly, as far far as set designs
for movies go, I think this one takes a pretty
huge portion of cake because they're
not, you can tell that they're very detailed and they are not cheap or
easily built.
Even though you can tell that most of it
was filmed in the studio, it's just so extravagant,
such a spectacle, that
when they were, I don't know if
this was mentioned in the earlier, but when they were in,
when they were first going into seeing like the big main boat
area, the kids were all the kids were hidden away
from like even looking at it.
So it was like when when they were getting the reaction
of seeing that boat for the first time, that was a genuine real reaction
All they were told was just like, you know,
you're going to see this and you're going to act surprised.
And they went in and they saw this fucking
huge handm boat.
I heard they had, I heard they had to reshoot that a
couple times because the kids were like cussing and stuff.
Yeah, yeah.
Like too much a little too much.
I was like, oh shit, that's no shit.
Yeah, that's cool.
Imagine being one of the kids that are acting on there, like how much fun it was to be on that set.
Oh, yeah, for sure.
Yeah.
Damn.
I couldn't imagine being a kid and being on a set like that.
I'd be like trying to fuck around with everything.
Yeah.
Seriously.
I was curious because I don't remember
when it came out, like, in 85, obviously.
It was only four, but I was looking to see if it was like number one
in the box offices when it did come out and it was actually number
two to Rambo for Blood Part 2.
It came out like a week apart from each other.
Yeah, Rambo like made the opening weekend was 20.2 million versus
Goonies was, what was it?
I think it was I think it was 9 million, 9 million.
Dang.
Goonies almost beat Manone.
Jeez.
I guess, I mean, R boat killed it.
Liter.iter.
I guess movies developed mental illness is definitely
Trump over friendship.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
All right.
I didn't know that about Ramone.
Or it's like PTSD.
Did you give us your rating?
Oh, yeah, I said it was a four.
It was a four out of five.
I' sorry.
Four out five.
Solid.
But that's it.
Yeah.
That's my opinion, man.
Awesome, awesome.
Well And last but luck but not least, Adrian.
Yes, sir.
Yeah.
What would you give this?
I give this a 3.5.
I got Alex so strong strong 3.5.
Why am I doing the book Clinton thing?
I tell you today.
Strong 3.5 out of five on Letterboxed.
I think it's a good fun movie.
I want to rewatch it
at one point0 speed because I was trying to watch.
I was going to say, normal speed?
At normal speed.
I want to rewatch it with my kid because I feel like he would like it.
It's, you know Get him started early.
Yeah, because Mikey at one speed spoke
really fast and with Elizabethisbon and kind of like he's just going off.
I can only imagine at 1.5.
Yeah, it's a little crazy.
It's a little crazy.
I might have to actually watch it at 1.5 with my kid, because, you know, Gen Alpha, right?
They're used to everything being so fast, fast, fast, right?
So, how How old is your son?
He's a seven, so, but, you know,
um, he's that generation of kids that doesn't remember a time before
the internet, iPads, touchscreens, you know, yeah.
Yeah, college.
He doesn't remember a Land Before Time?
I should haven't watched that movie, actually.
Yeah.
That movie be awesome fun as a kid.
Make him depressed.
And American Tale.
There was so much American movies back then, bro.
What was going on back then?
There were no cats in America.
What's the dire Something Bl?
Chris Don.
Don.
Don..
Dude, he made some of the best.
Yeah.
Wait, not Richard Donner.
Who's Don Bluth?
Don Blooth, who did the animated movies.
Yeah.
Was it like, it was just mentioned.
All dogs go to heaven.
Oh, is that guy?
An American tale?
An American tail.
Yeah, yeah.
So much t..
Yeah.
Tangents.
That was people over No, it's too.
It's okay.
Anyway, we'll put this podcast on one point.
You know what?
I'm just going to say this.
That'll be, I feel like all those movies, even though
they were animated, they are all relatively
coming out during the same time frame and
they are all this is how I always view it because
these were on my playlists all the time, like when I was at my grandma's house, she had all those movies
And for me, all of those movies,
including the Goonies, are all, for me, synonymous in some shape or form.
Because whether it's like directed by,
you know, Steven Spielberg or produced or whatever,
whatever the case is, I feel like all the movies are kind of just a part of this
common movie repertoire we all had at one point in time.
You know what's funny.
Arnold brought up the idea of like making a Goonies
theme park type of deal.
Imagine how depressing a Don Bluth, like theme
park all dogs's going to have in Night.
It's this a bunch of sad rides.
Oh, my God.
Everybody's just getting out off the right just crying.
Like Arnold, we all prefer to go to Goon Town.
Right.
Goonon Goonies Towny, right, right?
Yeah, of course.
Yeah, Goonown.
Oh, Adrian.
