So yes, so I'm very happy to be here as I pointed out and we are gonna try and do this a few more times Going forward as well I know we've got the main episode that we do every Sunday But it'll be nice just to throw in an odd review or shot just just to kill some time and just have a bit of love It's been a while since I mean Sam's done this together now It's been a long time like this is a horse full episode today And all this God is wish he's wish came true. He's finally talking about the goodies Some things I try to be clear and let the group decide and and stuff like that But the group kept on late and let us know even though for some reason avoid the goonies the favorite phone of the Nerdy of North Community for this year, but still one of those reviewers. So yes, so he decided you know what I actually run this show Yes, but I'm a little bit of choice as well, but I'm getting her wish the next big review We do with a view of people Exorcist so we're gonna go I'll smoke you in scary soon Stresses me so I do know I think I'm a bit of a oh no, I didn't I was trying to think I have this t-shirt on somebody I didn't I didn't it's okay.

I think that might be quite the appeal because there's the commentary of the jokes for the kids, there's the jokes for the adults and there's jokes for the thing is. So it really was what the class does a family film. It was like, the Winx and Nuds, where you're like, see your mum and dad would have laughed for you, you're going, what are you laughing at?
And you do like, and then you start laughing along with them and you're like, I don't know what I'm laughing at. It is one of these films that when you go back as an adult, you realise how much you didn't get? Yes, yes. Like you didn't get most of the jokes, but as an adult you're like, holy shit.
That's all. I didn't have that. That's fine. You don't have to do the trickles, but that would be a question.
That's good. But yeah, the elements in there, like as you said, it's adventure, this friendship, as I said, even like an imagination, and wrong points I wanted to start on as well is the cast. Now if you look back at who was in this and who was involved with this, I know like the director was Richard O'Donna, which again, how many perfect 80s films are he make? Steven Sticks, Spielberg, brought the story, so it was a Spielberg film in essence.
You can tell because it's got his fingerprints all over this movie. If you ever want to think like, elements of Indiana Jones and Essex, like all that is in this film. And we got to build an adventurer, Sean Astin, who later went on and saved the show and helped make save... Is my hero?
I'll save the little Earth. He did it single-handedly. Carrie Frodo all the way. Literally did.
And we got the ultimate bad guy in the Marvel Universe, Josh Roland, who was a cable and Thanos. As a very young, I'd say Brandon in this one. But, and he went back through with like 80s players as well. The guy who tried to think after now, I tried to pronounce a K, home quant, who played Indiana.
Absolutely mesmerised like an Indiana Jones as well as Short Round. Corey Feldman of the next year, 80s. How many 80s films was he in? You can't have an 80s children's film without Corey Feldman being in it.
I think that's just real with him. I don't think he can. I don't think it works without him. He really does bring such a feel to what he does.
He was just so good at what he did. Definitely. I think with this as well, it still has a legacy in a lot of what we get to do. Like we wouldn't have stranger things if it wasn't for the coonies.
We wouldn't have like that type of commodity. It's interesting to see, because I always do a stranger thing, that's so delayed online. Definitely. So I thought about two in-depth, but to see that friendship group grow, and it would have been interesting to see, I know we only got the one film and please, do not give us a second or a remie.
Because even though I wouldn't mind more stories of the coonies, I kind of, that's one of the things I probably did miss as a kid. I would have wanted to see what happened next, like more tales. I don't know if they were able to see how they become friends. It's not very, very interesting.
That then would have been interesting. But I'm not interested in knowing what a 50-year-old mouth is doing right now. Because I think it'll be really sad. I think our illusions will be completely broken.
But we're talking about cast. My favourite character in this is actually Martha Clinton. Right. I think it's a big, any start.
She wasn't quite a lot of it. I absolutely adore Martha Clinton so much. I've got a new fan of love for her when she did, Raisin Horp. Right.
Absolutely love it. She plays Seth, isn't she? Is that a name? Yes, definitely.
Yeah. And she was edgy and she was cocky and she was confident. And I absolutely love Martha Clinton's character. It's one of my favourites, especially if I'm identifying girl-wise.
Like she was absolutely... And it's lovely that we have a group of boys, but you also had elements of girls and now you had a girl-y girl. She was kind of hard. Yeah, exactly.
Yeah. I think this is only credit as well. I don't believe she did any more films after this. Yeah, I'm not sure.
She was curry green, wasn't it? I'm not turning red on my part. I don't know. I think that's a look.
Oh yeah, curry green. I've got to watch it afterwards. I don't think she did anything. I think this is that only credit.
And if this is your only credit on your resume, like you've done really well, but Martha Clinton, I just love her. I love her so much. And I love her in this film. Like even when the last time I watched it was last year.
Right. And I hadn't watched it in years. And I was like, big smile on me face. I could not take it off.
It's like, it is one of those films that... It's not just like tapping on the show. It hits you with a baseball bat. Yeah.
You're like, what you're saying about your inner things is the reason we probably love it more than what we do is because of the nostalgia aspect to it. Oh, 100%. Uh-huh. I just love it.
I do. Well, I just said with the cast, like I think what's in Martha Clinton, I love their in parenthood with Save Martin and Keanu Reeves. And a young wapping phoenix, wasn't it? It was.
He played Gary. He's very unrecognizable. Really unrecognizable. The only way you can hear him is in certain...
It's what he gets angry that you can hear whacking phoenix other than that. It's just a look at him. You would not know that's whacking phoenix. Oh, definitely.
And I see it when you go through as well. As soon as you think about the goodies, I know we've had a clear on the start. They're sending you all the stuff back. Just instantly comes in and Sam got to enjoy me singing and dancing.
Wow. That wasn't like so... I've never seen him so excited before in episode. This one really is like his golden child.
But I know I've told this story many times and I love telling it over and over again. I'll continue with him just because I think it's quite relevant and prominent to what we did and how we got this started as well. Because if it wasn't any goonies, there wouldn't be an idea of North. That's true.
I know I've talked about a lot. So I know I think I've talked about previous episodes on the podcast. It wasn't for Judy Randall, post and like see a Facebook post of introducing the two kids, a little boy, Niall and Martha. Niall that we've had on the show as well on the rest of the episode Niall came and joined us.
Yes. And she basically held off showing the goonies. I think it might be a little bit too scary because there was elements that I say it was quite scary for kids. Like I'm being scared as a child.
But she watched it with them and got and watched it did as well. Much of the stuff there. She bought Niall a soup one t-shirt. And so he kind of went to the soup and t-shirt for the goonies when all that was to be revealed.
And photographed their reactions, had them like when they were hiding it. The scary bits like Martha was hiding down the pillow. And then when Slough, 50's t-shirt, or if you showed off and revealed the soup one t-shirt, he was jumping up on excitement because he shared the same shirt as him. And just saying that joy that that film brought to the same other ones.
And they got to explain it. It was almost like they were watching the goonies for the first time. That just made like, I thought this needs to be shared. This conversation, people aren't having these type of conversations as much these days.
I know we're just still going to go in the pub. Well, this was your lockdown when we couldn't get down to the pub. And you don't realise like even like as small as the goonies could bring friendships or initiate conversation that you don't realise. Someone that you might not have anything in common with, like look wise, you could complete the opposite.
And you can talk about the goonies and you can both smile and have the same conversation and go back to that place. And that's magical. And I wish I could bottle it. Because I'm talking about this one.
Oh, we did it. As I said, 10 minutes. At the beginning of the show, I said it'll take you 10 minutes. And nobody absolutely right?
Like look at what from you having that experience. Look at what it's brought us. Like I didn't open till last year. I didn't know Charlotte or Jake or Donna existed.
Oh, Laura the Pop Queen. Yes, I'm Laura or Kelly Kelly. New grant. Okay.
Like I just, it's a minute. It amazes that the goonies has brought us to where we are. Like we've been on each other for 20 something years. Too long.
But we didn't really speak to each other. I mean, I know you're a good lady wife. I've been friends for a half years. But don't let me spoil to each other.
Random comments on Facebook and that was about it. Nope. No, I'm like, okay. Okay.
Okay. Um, I would say universally loved. That's probably the best way I can describe it. And it's just so much fun.
That's actually from, like I said, the core of it, the comedy elements, the friendship, but even when they get hungry each other, it's still friends. And like, yeah, everything about it is just kind of like pure. Yeah. I've just had an idea.
Just an idea. Why don't we start from the beginning and talk about each section until we get to the end? Okay. What's right?
You've got three o'clock, so. I think we can do it until three. Let's not really that long of a film. But I just think if you're going to talk about it, let's just talk about it.
Let's go from beginning to end. Let's talk about the best and good parts of the film in its runtime. No, actually. It's clever the weird start as well.
Like, say when you see the, like, the jail, when in the jail. And the officers were like, yeah, did it. Did it. Did it.
Yeah. Yeah. And you think the officers say no, come get your food, or you don't eat and stuff like that and say, won't leave. And it starts with a quite horrific picture.
Like, especially for a young child, seeing a grown man hanging in a cell is not what you do. Would you expect a kid's adventure film to start with? Well, it's cleverly done with the note that says, if you thought to hurt me, I'm concerned, I believe it says at the front. If you think I'm stupid enough to kill myself, then he looks up and you're seeing a smile.
I don't know how much was that in, was in the original TV cut? Probably wasn't. It's ITV. They wouldn't even say it's stiff.
Yeah. So probably not. And it's the breakout of the battalion, I've seen the very battalion brothers. And our brother, was one of them already out.
And the other one is him, oh, well, gosh, have you got the cast list up there? And we're still pantomying with our best Francis. Him, Francis. And Robert Devaney, who played Jake.
The guy who plays Francis has, again, one of the best forwards in. And when we get to that point, I'll probably do it. But he is also in the Matrix like he's in all size. He's in one of my favorite films of the fugitive.
But I just go with that. I think Jake and Delaney, he's one of them pervertive characters. That's always around. Like you'll know his face from any film.
It's his voice. Yes. He's that voice. But the amazing Anne Ramsay has had her for a tally.
Again, she gives so much to a simple role. And for like, and all the lady that was playing our role, she is terrifying. Who had cancer while she was doing that film? She was really, really, really with cancer.
And they were told, I was what I watched so many interviews about her because she's so fascinated. Like she put all she played this mean, horrible woman. She was like, she made sure she was the nicest that she possibly could be to every single kid. She didn't, she hated the idea that they were scared of her.
Yeah. It was just a lovely, lovely woman. She was really bad. She was doing that film.
But it does not show in the slightest. No, definitely not. But this is where the film shows its intelligence as well. Because a lot of films of this type of ilk kind of try and give each kid a backstory.
Or like, sort of you find it more. But in the getaway, I say, but the car going through like say the good dogs. Basically, you're getting the juice to each member of the communities anyway. And the don't know where you kind of get a, a tear of the character.
But you can't eat doing the chain laden. You get Steph doing, swing with the crab in a bucket. Getting the other, doing the double or negative thing. Where he's showing, showing me his little thing and he's getting pulled across the street.
Yes. And the thing, I love the noise that that makes as well. I've got a thing about noises. And that one is where it hits at any youth beat.
Shuffle across the floor, but it's like a squeak at like a noise. You've chunks of in there. I don't, was it from another pizza? Um, it was one of the first food restaurant because he like, it's about pressed up against the window.
He's just the most, like, say the type of person he is. He has to know everything and has to be in everything. I mean, he's me, he's my mum out of the window when anyone walks past the street. I don't know if anyone else's mum likes it.
No, and my father-in-law is notorious for it. Anyone walks up the street just out the window. Oh, where's everyone? Just want to be in everyone's business.
And that was chunk. And that was, that was like, say the first time. You want your, you want your mum done? Watch this.
Um, but that was the first like, I've like, say, when they had the first edits, because I think on the TV, that had chunks in, down, but in the actual, probably one, he was, he had the s-word. Um, and then going to do his mouth, he was helping his dad do the... Yeah, the plumb. That was the end of getting squared in the face.
Yeah. And then you get to, like, say the house where my game brands, sitting in, and I always got mesmerized as well, because when I was a lot of kids, especially when it comes to like toys or like artifacts, is when I saw something in a movie that I had. So... Oh, I love feelings like that.
So when Mikey's in the room, when he's got his own inhaler, you see this like, like of school? Uh-huh. Ah-hah-hah-hah. And I used to, I had a Halloween one year working around, so I was like, like, like, I could have been in the goonies, because I had, like, same things as Mikey had.
Um, and Brandon, and Brandon's doing, the whole press-ups on the, on the workbench, and Mike tries to show his, uh, sex. Well, that's one of the things I loved about the dynamics between, uh, the goonies, because it did feel like a proper, brother, because not all brothers are lovely, and makes it all, I'm going to do this for my brother. It was kind of like, a bit also, a bit also all history, as well, so. Yeah, a bit, a bit of a distish to each other.
Yeah. But you are right, it is an incredible way to introduce characters with no dialogue, just music going on, but you got simultaneously, you got a car, like a police car, cheer is happening, while you're introducing a main cast, and you get a feel for them straight away, straight away, you know who them people are. We don't have to do a full half an hour of dialogue to find out who these people are. It is, I didn't even think of it that way.
That's really clever. Yeah, like it says, when you watch the kids, you don't really understand, get a second. No, I've got no. And when you watch it, I don't, you kind of get a bit more.
You get that's really, really clever, right? And again, when you think about the people involved, you're like, yeah, it makes complete sense why this was happening. And then we get to the plot points, like Mike's kind of scared about losing like these friendships, losing like say the house he's grown up in. And we all go through that type of fee when like, you know, James and when you move, like I was one of the kids who did move a few times like from like, not from city to city, but like different parts of something.
So we're going to a different school. It is quite dawning and making new friends, especially my friends as close as this. And as you said, when I grew up in a, like say, the people of the podcast on off-medial, some of the other places called Riot, which is a little old mining village. And it's covered by like say, farmers' fields and there's like, deans and stuff like that.
So when we were kids, we used to go looking for a rich stuff like one-eyed wiggly's treasure and stuff in the days. Or is it not the most safest places to go? No, I'm exactly the same. I come from shiny row, which is, it's within like, because of all the intelligence within someone, but even though it has a DH post code, but that's another story.
But mine is mine again is a mining village. It's not exactly covered with fields, but it is covered with old coal mines that got shut down in the 70s and 80s. And where my man lives right now, used to be a huge field and at the back of it was a core pit and there was nobody there. Yes.
And then, and that's what we did. It was a few times I got shot by the farmer when he used to use a salt and pepper goin' at you as well. So I've got hit by them, but they did not come in. But yes, but I see that sense of adventure.
Like, say, as a kid, you kind of grow a little bit, you kind of wish you still had that element to yourself. Always. Always wish I had that, like, magic spark that I used, like, the imagination that I used to have as a kid. Because I feel like I could write, like, boog after boog, if I had the imagination I had as a child.
Oh, definitely. JX just asking the chat, if I ever found anything on these adventures, but no, I found a few swings about no cars, but that was about it. Sorry, Jig. I'm from shiny, so condoms used condoms.
And no, we had like the mine and the mine and pit was literally like it was just called upon calls of hills of coal and that. But we also have what's called the gill that is a, I want to say a stream, but I'm saying it in the looser sense possible because it's probably just toxic waste ground. And we had a sewage mama's wing. Well, we've got nothing but your water like right next to us.
I wouldn't be surprised if it was. But yeah, we had the gill and that runs right the way through shiny. And this is why I had no issue with taking the vaccine. I've drank out of that before.
I've fallen out many times before. And so I have no, but didn't really find any, it was just rubbish, just a lot of rubbish. But in my head, I found all sorts. That was the thing.
It wasn't about what you found. It was about one of the eventually defined it. That was always the fun element. And that's what this film is, B.S.S.
It's not about finding the treasure, which they end up doing it, it's about the eventually but this is when the film starts getting a bit interesting as well as when you start getting the interaction between the characters. It was then the doorbell go and it's not doorbell, it's not on the door. And the go down the stairs and that's when we introduced the mouth fully, like all the film and character. And we find out why he's character is one of our favorite characters throughout this movie because he is so cool.
And he's interaction with Brandon as well when he's on the Chinese kid, when he's talking about him, we should have been cruising the coast going down the road. But no! Someone had to go and fail at his driving test and blow it all. And he'd take the same to swing from as well.
But what you think in that moment, in that time that they were brothers? Yes. It was kind of like all the more fun. And Brandon was like the big brother of them all.
But in that very moment, you could tell that Mike and Mouse were best best friends. They were out of all the group. They too were the best of friends. And that's why all of Grant came across as very big brotherish in that moment.
And how are they going to lie on him to pass his driving test? When he should have his own friends to take a quiz, not his kid brothers? Sweetheart of a five friends like that. I was still one kick about the perspective.
The other adults in that same scene would be like proper douchebags as well. It was a proper posh area shall we see it. But we'll come to that in a little bit later. And then we get one of the most memorable scenes as well, just before the most memorable scene is when we're here the dog going and they're sitting there and chunks trying to get in and they're trying to get to pissing an alarm.
And Mouse, you just do it! And for everyone watching, I do apologise, I want to do it. So he was... There you go, the truffle shot guys.
I was... John, that's going to be on TikTok later. Well done. I'm going to wait for the chat to blow over in a second.
It's not just the truffle shuffle, it's the moment afterwards. We can manage it to open the gate. Like, how many mouse traps did you set up to try and do that? When you think about it, when you watch your back now, it makes absolutely no sense.
Walked down and over the gate. Yeah, but it was kind of like one and done type thing where Maxie, he set the bone ball off. Maxie, you're not going to have any more bone balls, so don't make it. No.
You also, Maxie, you've got a refillable oven. So, things like that can't just be re- Yes. The chicken's never always going to lay an egg all the time. Yep, not confused at all.
But you just have to go over and scare it, throw it to get an egg there. What? It's done as cheer and you're on. So, you're coming, yay!
You please the crowd! Good, well better built till beating him, ain't you? Right, three misses out, you misses out. It's one time thing, that's not getting invaded.
I think I'll swear on eight. Maybe at the start you're into that. But no, that scene is, the truffle shuffle is special. It's hilarious.
Like, kids watching it, you're like, yeah. I didn't think that it was meant to be uplift as well. I wasn't planned. It was something that it kind of wasn't meant to happen that way.
It's a strange one because Phil with Chompie is being bullied and we all kind of bullied him because we're cheering along. But by the end of it, we are cheering with him. So, yeah, and I've never, with Chompie, I never laughed Adam, I was laughing with him. He was funnyness.
Was his charm? And that's what I absolutely loved about him. I'm not someone who, I'm not someone who looks at a size and finds it, like a way to pull fun at them. He was to me just an ordinary kid who used his funniness as almost a defense mechanism, but it worked in his favour.
I'm just looking for something, I just want to make sure I'm not making this up. But there is, Josh Gadd did a reunion with the Goonies. That was mentioned on there about the fact that truffle shuffle was ad-lived. I mean, the guy who played Chunk is a massive Hollywood attorney now.
Yeah, Jeff, Jeff Gordon, I think. But he was the one that basically sent down all the press toes. Because his personality on the movie was his personality in real life as well. It's no different when you're watching the reunite thing.
He is no different than Chunk was. You want to know what Chunk did as an adult that became a Hollywood attorney? That's what he did because he is absolutely the same person. Yeah, it's just like all them different elements.
And then, as I said, from that we led him to Dator's Big Infant, and he's defined in. And he said, double on negative. He says, hit the heart as well. And then over the Michelangelo statue.
Which never got shown on ITP. But I always got confused as well. Because when I watched as a kid, there was a bit, I was like, why is all the bits? Didn't smash.
Then he realised it was the Chris back. It's the Chris back. I was like, oh Chunk, I don't know. My OCD in me just wants to go in and pick old and Chris flippant.
I hear the fact that I can see them. But as the characters come in, you then get introduced to his mama. And his mama is Mary Treaner. It's a Tori Treaner who was the wife of Robert's and the Hollywood thing is, the only reason that she ever got work for, because she always played small-time hearts, was because she was the wife of Robert's and I guess.
I don't know why, because she was in a legal weapon as well, wasn't she? Anything to do with Robert's and his friends, she was a part of, and Richard Donner and Steven Spielberg, very good friends of his. Yeah, it was a Hollywood thing that she only ever got work because of who my husband was. And it's so sad because she is such a good mama.
Like she was so good in this. She had this level of anxiety about her, that I can totally understand as an adult, but was annoyed by as a child. The interaction with the kids as well, when she's called Chunk By's, she's probably named Cibby Col Muth. Now this is another bit that ITV liked to cut out.
They didn't like to show you what Muth was actually saying to them, it was funny, it was funny. No, no, that was the thing that I wanted to say, when you saw it on TV, you were like, holy, holy, holy. What was it? The first bit was about hiding, the marriage I wanted on the top, the heroin in the second and the cocaine in the end, remember to separate your drugs.
And then when you were in the loft, it was basically, that's where the sex dungeon is, you're not to go on there, or the naughty people go there, that's funny, that's, but that's, like I said, where the hell is this come from? Yeah, I remember watching it for the first time, that wasn't on telly and I was absolutely bored, I was like, what? Herobina marijuana? But I feel so it's just so funny, and not, the actress, I don't know if you know why she's, she's, trust me, not like I'm actually, she was, if anyone loves the movie Selena, like I do, with Jennifer Lopez, she played the woman who killed her, and I can't think of any at the moment, but she was hell of an actress.
Right, well, just her, as you said, her reactions to Melbourne, you never all the players as well, because you would expect like a kid to be laughing away, but he keeps a serious face, but they're never really kind of, that's just the end of that joke. You think, and you're thinking, while you're watching ITV version, he is actually repeating that in Mansean. So when you see the actual words, what are you saying? Brilliant, absolutely genius.
I think ITV, one used to say speaks in Spanish, that's obviously a special question. Yeah, learn, you learn Spanish and you'll know what you're saying. Yes, and then you get the model lines in, you put it up the background, wait, that's my mum's favourite piece, you wouldn't be here if it wasn't. Did you, were you pissing, were you pissing each other's faces if you did it that way?
But after we've introduced the whole gang, mum, me, we then get introduced to what would essentially be the bad guy of the film? Is it Roy's dad? Troy, Troy's dad. Not quite yet, because they got the loft first, I believe.
They're going afterwards. Could be a minute about the time, yeah, we do get. Somewhere in the time frame of them going in the loft, you do get introduced to Troy's dad because that's where the adventure starts, is after the find out that the house is on foreclosure, it's going to be ripped down. And that's where they get the idea that maybe one idly's treasure is real.
The rich stuff. But when the Gwyn and the loft as well, and the play all the stuff, because if I don't- God Paul, someone's already clicked this. I'm not first, I don't know. I always get revenge as well.
Are they good for me? I'm sorry. That's right, when the Gwyn and the loft, when you find out that these fathers are like a museum curator. I'm just not telling them about the interest in any theatre, like Chester Colcott and- What a name.
What a name. I love that name. What was a rumour? And again, I don't know if it was just like fan-neads, that the word thing about a different person that was going to be, instead of Chester Colcott, but that there was going to have Indiana- I was going to add- The minute you said the dad being an art like a museum curator, I was thinking of me as an image of him and Indiana Jones and I was like, no, because Indiana Jones is like from the 50s, isn't it?
It's set in the 40s and 50s. So I mean, he's still going to be alive. I probably was going to say him and the next one, I was going to find out about this time period. But yeah, because it was supposed to be a long time ago that Chester Colcott did go missing.
But I've heard a rumour that we're trying to do with Indiana Jones, as the explorer of that went missing. That was going to be so- Cross over! If they did that, the Goonies and Indiana Jones would have been the same same universe. I think we are anyway, because it's Spielberg.
I think Spielberg has a lot of his writings, are mesh to like Stephen King does. Stephen King's works are all within the same universe. I think Stephen Spielberg is exactly the same. So I do believe at some point, they could see the Goonies aren't in the Indiana Jones film.
True, that would be awesome. But one thing I did, because I wanted to say I think I loved the Goonies that much, I did watch the comedy version when it first came in. That's not sad, my friend, that is just good watching. And the cast really, and all the stuff, the director and my daughter, Richard Donner, we used to scream at them all the way through.
This is the first point, I got to put in spoiler film for most people. Now you'll notice it. When they were doing certain scenes, like looking at things or looking through telescopes or looking at maps, you kept on screaming, bigger eyes. So I call it your say, it's the same time for.
Like, look at them, the eyes are opening up. I'm the same, the next time, the eyes are wondering. So that was supposed to be the big direction that Richard Donner got, I'm giving the kids bigger eyes bigger. So when you watch it again, it's like Chunk and Mikey and like Sean Astin and like mouth, eyes constantly getting wider and like in awe and stuff when the rain and things.
But this is probably one of the first parts of the building, that actually gets a little bit scared when they're in the loft, when they're in the loft. Yeah, it was so unpredictable. Like there's so much stuff in there. I don't have it aloft.
I went to do it, I had a Christmas tree in it. You know what I mean? There's like, there's nothing in there. This was, it was, it was spooky because he didn't know what was going to happen.
Yes. And then you heard the music and you got like say, Chunk to smash the map, which is on me, like say just like all that and how it might be come down to how long it was going to take from the smash. It's like you were swearing. And five, four, three, two, one.
Yes. I'm not going to tell you what, don't you know what it gives? Yes. And then, actually when they all gather around the map after the big game, I'm going to get to it.
We're talking on the smash map map, translate this and you hear the words, I got up in front of us because again, I just love how it sounds as well as it's. How you doing in these ways? I'll tell you the best, I'll tell you the best. Yee intruders beware.
Crushing death and grief soaked with blood of the trespassing thief. Wow! That was amazing. That really sounded like him.
Well, yeah, when you're listening to Bach, when you're watching it there, you do get like chills. Yeah, I got chills there. Because you actually think you're going to go on this adventure, it's going to be quite dangerous because. You just have yourself also with the really going on this adventure, like, I don't know what to do with.
But that's where the film kind of like forks out, like two different ways I could have went. Like again, this is why I love it. It's because it's got the childhood imagination where if adults found that, they would have just went up. Okay.
Go the go along with all the realms trying to get the bills, can't get the bills, foreclaws, move on to the different town. That's the sensible approach. Not these kids. But these kids, they had the childhood wonderment and thing, right?
We've got a treasure map, we've got evidence. Potentially, we could do this. And this is where they kind of like, when I look at it now, it means it's because in theory, when you look at the group, Brian should be the leader because he's all the kids, all the brothers, he's like the biggest, he's the most knowledgeable, but he's not because Mikey is, not because he's a smarter one, not because he's a bigger one, because he's a dreamer. Yeah.
He has that dream and he goes right, this is what we could do. And fair enough, at the start, there doesn't be a speed, playing along. It's to the others, it's just a game. Yeah, it's not taken seriously.
Like Mikey knows in his head, this is what he wants to do. So there's no one who's going to stop him. And that tactical movie does on Brian to get him tied to that chair was cheese. Yes, the whole cheesy part, like, kind of the top.
You can tell they're not seeing a single word or each other. It's just like, this is what we're going to do. And then you tie him up and then even Mikey gets upset when he's mouthing out and letting down his ties. He's like, he had to do 461.
What was it? We love more. We love more. To buy the thing, it's his favorite thing in the world.
And he's got some flapsing in the world. It's getting mouth-bait in the smart ass. Sorry, that line is brilliant. The timing on it is absolutely great.
Then you get to do lovers. Good enough playing on in the background as they're riding through the street, which is something that I did. Countless amount of times on my BMX as a kid. Yes.
And I always wanted one with a flag on as well. I don't know why that flag was there. Oh, I've had a lot. But it looked cool.
I don't think it would be very comfortable if you ever fell off. I hit it, hit it. But I think, as I said, with the flag, it always had that kind of look and the donut over head shot of them again riding through the town. And you see, then you get into Mr.
Walsh and go high kids. And he's putting out the flag for the museum. And that's when the adventure starts. But the clarity still continues when his mom and Rosie Aker later comes back and you see him tied to the thing.
And the mom's just telling them off for being tied up. And Rosie later is just like, oh, go on. I'm going to get myself into it, dropping off things and kicking the things. Because now you realize what mouth's actually told that is right in front of us.
I do never got that as a kid, really. No, you didn't. You didn't quite understand it. But oh, yes.
That's seeing when his mom comes in and Rosie leaves his face. No, Rosie. I'm trying to the accent because I don't want to go on to them. But that's not a thing.
That's not a thing. But absolutely. And that's when, as I said, the adventure starts, they start following the map and they're counting the pieces and they're using the key where the two rocks meet. And you think, this could be something in there.
And you can see the belief is going in might as well. That's that scene right there makes me think of home. When you're looking out to this, it's the Beals. It's the coldness.
Like we live in the northeast of England. It's freezing here. Like it's so cold. And it's even trying to down now.
But if you just imagine being in a, gosh, in a field somewhere, you can feel that vibe. You see like an old chakra, a hut. You get that vibe. And especially that we live on the course as well.
And I don't know, it just felt like home. And then when they're going to the diner. Like that's when it got scary again. At Waterman.
Oh. And then you get the groups meet, the Batelli family. Yes, I get it in the hall. And like, see, you see, because Trump's initially doesn't want to go in.
And then he locks in the RV. And he said, bullet holes. ROV. And you can see him.
Bullet holes. And he said, dead things. Dead things. My dead things.
Dead things. And they sit now and they get, mouth does the whole pediculate. The next thing I say, I've watched you. Nah.
I'm like, I'm going to serve tongue. And then some reason, I'm shaking these tongues comes out. It's like, so for all my childhood, I thought it's one of the two weeks which takes me tongue would come out. So I was like, no.
She went after that scene. She nearly broke down. She hated how hard that she had to push on his face. And then when he stuck his tongue out, she got really worried.
LAUGHTER It really works with the scene. Like, because it smells like his expressions are really, he's cocky. Yet that cocky just showed us fear when she grabs the whole of his face. LAUGHTER And then, as you said, we introduced to the other shows here, the douchebag of the piece, Troy in the car with Andy and Steph.
And you see people driving down the street on what? Little girl's bike. Yeah, of course, it must have been the most uncomfortable thing ever. Right.
It probably would have been easier. His knees must have knocked him. Yeah. And I'm not even a knowledge commander now, because it's just annoying us.
LAUGHTER I have a couple of them. She's getting a goose sucks on it. And then you can get off. LAUGHTER Today's specialty.
It's Paul's day. LAUGHTER Well, yes. And then Troy then sends Brandon off to a certain doom. Like, I don't know how he survived the accident.
LAUGHTER Yeah, because he just comes into the office. LAUGHTER Just flies off. You think this is not going to end well. But then, as I said, when they get to the whole restaurant and stuff like that, the Brandon meets the kids after we are introduced to the hero of the piece, shall we say the hero of the film, Sloth, which is portrayed as a bit of a monster, which again, in today's political society, isn't, I would say, political correct.
But in my argument to that would always be. It wasn't saying that every human being treats people that way. It was just how bad this family was. That a threat, a human being, doesn't matter what, if I, in a way that wasn't correct.
It's always kind of... Absolutely. There's the signs in there. And again, comes from one of my favourite courts of all time, is the Francis II payvon.
They were a family. They still, like, if they're all, they might have looked a bit different than the rest. They were still a family. And that line where he says, we use the money to spend, sorry that we use the dental money to pay Francis, to pay, how were a hairpiece?
One of my favourite lines of all time. I still coordinate. I still coordinate. Oh, actually, the whole interaction between the frittellies and stuff, like, when they're in there and the top and, like, say, in kind of broken Italian to each other, to try and get the things.
But then, as I said, the leaves, the restaurant, and we had went out for the frittellies, the frittellies for leave, before they can sneak back in. And the only reason Brandon lets it, that's the do it, is because he wants to spend a lot of time with Andy. Yeah, he's thinking about his team more than anything else in that scenario. It has nothing to do with the fact that he's going, that he potentially could be going on on the biggest adventure that he's alive.
He's thinking he's going to get some. Yes. But, and then, actually, if we get a few of the jumpscares, like the fish on the, on the rig is always, like, a well-planned pace. But when the go down stairs, and the hunting down, and they're trying to find, like, the gear we're, and Mike is trying to smash everything up, nearly break these hands by hitting things with metal rods.
Well, again, it's done in a way, which is not, it's simplified, but cleverly done. Well, if Chuck being the accent for one person here, he breaks the wall ball and the fall of the water. And by doing that, they're firing the gear way into one, one over where he's rich enough. Yeah, but we also lose chunk at this point.
Yes, because he thinks what he's telling me, and gets all excited by the ice cream. And again, we're going to do is to the sniff, which is the FBI. Yeah, it's last year. There was rumors that that that was, that was real.
Like, because you know Stephen Spielberg has the whole thing with all the guys. People like that was real, and I was like, no, that is an actor. And that person is very much like. Very true.
That wall was so small as well. Would you have gone down there? Because I know I'd have been had a bit of trepitation now. Me now.
Nah. Nah. But me as a kid, 100% mid, I have no fear. That's probably one of my biggest downfalls as a child.
I generally had no fear. Yeah. I am the person who would walk down the dark and he would head phones in and think absolutely nothing of it. Wouldn't do that now.
Yeah, so back to the kid, I would have done it. Yeah. And that's when basically, you could all slide and you hear like, the music and stuff starts playing like, like say that type of tune, because you knew something, Spielberg, like how many fingers, especially Richard Donner, like say, massively used music all with through his career to emphasize points. Yeah.
He knew that was going to be a bit special. And again, we do get the famous line as well, $50 bill. $50 bill? And the printing on a $50 bill?
And he's good. We're all going to go with jails. No, it's good. All the scary parts and stuff.
But then, as I said, we start going through the tunnels and the booby, was it the booby traps? Booby traps. It's a booby trap. No, it's a booby trap.
That's what I said. I love how the correctly's English is about. But it doesn't matter. It's not that far off, but they're still correctly's English, even though it's perfect.
That's what friends use to do. Like, we still do it now. We're in the chat and stuff, and we're saying it's very wrong. We're talking about each other, because this is like the friendly band.
The way you can kind of get away. Well, it wouldn't be acceptable. Like, in quite society, does the walk up from and say that? Oh, no.
But if you know someone well enough, and I think it was just a wind up technique on Never Half. But I always found these English very cute. Then throughout this, you kind of got the elements of basically, I kind of think this is more a table of doom. Yes.
So from now, we're pretty much just like say, it's a you are in an Indiana Jones film, from later borders, fallen, very reminiscent of basically readers of the last arc, and to find the candles, which is dynamite. And then again, you find the key to when I willies think, and you find out that just a couple of hop was there. And you guys. Yes.
And that is the first element where the goonies started out themselves, that they couldn't do this. But then they realized that if even if they take one step further, then where they are right now, they're getting further than what he ever did. Yeah, exactly. And so yeah, that's the turning point in the film, when it started really, oh, we might actually survive this.
And you got the whole thing with the pipes, whether the pipes have been inlayered through, like in the technical. That is such a good scene. But whether you kind of like skip by it and mess it up a bit, and you see like above when the pipes are like, I don't know why he keeps all of the things, that's what the one part. It's because he's got a presses, you have to press it, so he's like still in his fingers.
You would just let go, he would let go, but he really does have his finger on it, and he's going up and down with it, but yes, you would. A normal person would just let go. With the see Troy. Yes.
That was beautiful. On the top. Andy! That's wrong bit.
That was a... No, that's in the world. That's in the well, isn't it? That was a well-baked show.
Dearly! And everybody kind of... That's it. Yes.
I went on the show, all the things kind of explored around them, like around them as well. Again, like I said, like not big lines in the movie, but ones that kind of like resonate are scared with us, is when like the move, the rocks and stuff, and Steph, of course, the dot dot, God put that rock there for a person. I don't know if you should be moving it. And then the moving, all the backs come out, and then when they're going up, it's pretty chum-canton-tarrigate.
I think I'll fight it for Telly's, because I'd always jump in the car comms and try to tell them about these bad guys. Real, mean, sort of bitches. And then he's now singing Italian. It's all created already, yeah.
It's all... It's all creepy. Like there's no reason for it. What's this way, the light goes on your face, face.
And again, probably not the most polite thing to say, but with them having the pop marks and stuff, it was so scarred up. And the way it went. Oh, his face is incredibly textured. So it is terrifying.
It's a scene, yeah. Not just chum-face, in absolute terror. To look at it and just to realise that he was in trouble. And then you've got his other brother, Francis coming from behind, trying to put a chum in the car.
