HEY YOU GUYSSSSSSSS! In this episode, Moriah takes us through the adventure that is the 1985 The Goonies. Directed by Richard Donner (and let's be honest, Steven Spielberg), there's a lot to unpack! We talk about the beautiful location of Astoria, Oregon, the octopus and gorillas that didn't make the final cut, and how working with children made the director contemplate su*c*de. So if you're interested in the original shipwreck that inspired this story, practical effects, deleted scenes, and where the Goonies are now, give this episode a listen.
