  The kid who played Chunk was so naturally funny that during the interrogation scene where he's confessing everything the director just let him ad-lib a bunch of confessions and went on for about 45 minutes straight making up different hilarious confessions all while maintaining the crying. Also, I love when the dad rips up the papers and throws them in the air because you can see a different set of ripped up papers being immediately thrown in behind his hands to make it seem like there was more ripped up than it actually was. Lol

  Surprised you didn't comment on Ke Huy Quan  (Data here, Waymond in Everything Everywhere All at Once )  Fun fact, the kid who played Chunk grew up to become an entertainment lawyer and negotiated Ke's contract for everything everywhere all at once.

  "This is a kids' movie?" Yeah, so GenX not only grew up with little to no parental supervision, our tv shows and films also prepared us for life in unexpected ways.  🤷‍♀️😆

  I like how you guys talk about how Sean Astin might have saved the most people on screen and then bring up the Avengers, considering his brother in this movie is the guy who wiped out half of all living things in those movies.

  Watching The Goonies isn’t just a cinematic experience. It’s a right of passage.

  A couple years ago Josh Brolin went to an 80s themed Halloween party as his character from the Goonies, and One Eyed Willie was one of the nicknames Deadpool used on Cable during the battle on the truck

  The Goonies was the quintessential "pack of friends" kid's movie of the 80's. Before it,  the only thing similar I can remember is The Little Rascals (1955)  which was way before my time but was played in re-runs on television.  After the success of The Goonies, we would occasionally see another gang of friends on bikes pop up in the movies or on television: Stand By Me (1986),  The Monster Squad (1987), It (1990),  Hook (1991), The Sandlot (1993).   Each show contained the same tropes of danger, adventure, and friendship.  80's kids could relate because most of us had bicycles and were latch key kids (we would come home from school to an empty home because our parents were still at work).  So as you can imagine we got into a lot of trouble, adventure, danger (both real and imagined), and fun.  We pestered, pranked, bullied, and relied on each other until our parents came home to cook dinner.   It was fun and it was scary but we took care of each other: brothers, sisters, cousins, and friends.  Good times!

  I'm glad to see Ke Huy Quan starring again in movies/TV shows.

  The "mom criminal" was also in the hilarious movie Throw Momma From the Train with Billy Crystal and Danny DeVito.

  Simone&apos;s reaction to the pirate ship is exactly what Josh Brolin said when he saw it and they had to redo the reaction. <br>Originally they weren&apos;t allowed to see the ship until that scene was filmed, they were backed into the water and told to turn around to get their first reaction Josh Brolin said &quot;Holy shit!&quot; so they had to redo it.🤣🤣🤣

  &quot;How long were they gone?&quot; From approximately midday/early afternoon of an overcast, blustery Oregon day until mid-morning of the following day - judging by weather and (approximate) sun position.
