We're live. Hey, you guys! Oh my God. Are you every warden?
Welcome to the Nod of God gas is a known by cuss or sibai. Oh, the nerds. I am. What do you want some?
And I am the other horse, Paul. And they tried to take over tonight. They have been complete little arseholes. Let's be honest with them.
Quit creating the ornate graphics in the top crumbsers taking over the other new bosses in town. But no, they're not the little shits. So yes, we are joined by the masterful, the wonderful, the tiny little speck of a man that is Lee. And when you got in your mouth, I haven't seen any jewels you've got.
I've got to take a second. How many was that? Have you got a necklace in there as well? Just a nice one.
But yes, we're joined by mama for telling herself that is Lee. And Chris, how are you doing Chris? I'm alright, so? Not bad, not bad.
So what people have tuned in tonight because Chris did wierd to me a little bit this week and said if I could get the nerdy up north subscribers on YouTube to a certain level, he would do a certain act. And he was laughing at him. There's no way he could do that. So I spent the last three or four days mining the messaging and begging anyone to follow us who can.
And we hit that target in with Chris. It is. I didn't think you would be fair. The couple of little bastards.
So you might get Chris to do a lot of performance later. We'll not do it today, we're because I don't want the loads of viewers that early. But yes, so we joined by the top grumps idiots. So and also, how are you, Sammy?
How are you feeling? You've been poorly sick this week, Glaisa. I've been poorly sick for the past, it feels like me. The entire year, it just looks like I've not been great, but no.
I'm good. I'm here. I'm excited. And wow.
Yeah. It's just looking around the room. What I'm the one who looks normal. There's something got to be said.
Chris looking very darmilicious. And Lee, I just... I think Lee looked quite attractive. I actually really like the hair.
The hat needs a bit of work, but I'm like in the hair. And we've already said how much they can fit in his mouth now as well. It is just, it's shoulder length, black hair. If I get it right, I'm like, Welcome to the Nity of Not Podcast.
Are you trying to say that Sammy's going to be here again? Oh, and... So do you want to do the diskeeper curse before we start killing each other now? We're far out of place.
It's not as magnificent as your hair, Sammy. It's just being washed. And Sammy's hair is real because that's clearly plastic. Yeah, it's horrible.
It's just... No, I'm not okay. I'm going to do this disclaimer because I'm just lost in Lee's wig now. Everything that's going to do is episode.
There are opinions and opinions alone, if you would like to discuss anything from them today's episode, I'm going to use Come and Join us on the Facebook page. You can join the Nity of North Discord on the comment section where we can have an old discussion. What we want to have is anyone coming to us in town, Sarah Paine is around because we can all agree to disagree and find him. So let's give it fun, give it kind, and keep the toxic behaviour out of Nodism.
Very well said. And the chat will open up. They're very excited that Mamma Fethallie has joined us. Uh, Molly, no.
Oh, what's Molly saying though? Sammy 2.0. That's the name of Tally. We're getting in the blender cheeky.
How's the one Lee to do this disclaimer? What is wrong with you people? What did I do? What?
I've done something wrong with them. Can Lee do this game? Let's say let's test them. Stop talking.
Just a little bit more. I've already forgotten it. I've already forgotten it. It's a big L.
Looza for Lee's. Looza Lee. Oh yes. Tonight is a very special episode.
People might think this was my idea. No, this wasn't. Sammy did actually see it previously that we wanted to revisit the coonies and talk about it. And I thought with this year being such a special year, now we've got two release dates for the coonies for the show.
We've got the US release date and the UK release date. So the US release date was June and the UK was November. So we'll bang in the middle for that kind of bro that's all. We're doing fine there.
But yeah, 40 years of the goonies. Exactly the same age as my husband. Yeah. Yeah.
That's a scary notion. 1985, this movie was released. And a lot of the people that are listening, a lot of people on the podcast probably wasn't even born when this movie came out, which is the crazy thing. And I know we've talked about we've done an episode on the goonies before where me and Sammy just did busy a talk along to the movie.
It's going to be a little bit of a different one to this. Before we start getting into it and asking the questions and deep diving into anything to do with the goons, Sammy's got the tag lines. So thank you. Oh, thank you.
Yes, I do. And they're really good. Actually, they're not for the art. So it's excitement all the way as Steven Spielberg and Richard Donner, the makers of Indiana Jones, Gremlins and Superman combined forces to create the family adventure of the year.
Right. I don't know what to make of that one. And it goes with the other ties. So again, just a little bit of a tip before.
So the trailers for this when it came out, they didn't show anything of the film. It was just like from the makers of Jaws, Indiana Jones, E.T. and Superman, this summer, the goonies and everyone went wild because of the people who were involved with this movie. I've got the long tag lines.
Well, you're going to hit the next one then. The pirate maps, the villainous crooks, the underground coverings. The underground coverings. What the book is?
The booby traps, the skeletons, the monster, the lost treasure and the magic that is. The goonies. That's not too bad. It's when it's gone all over the like from the makers of Superman, Indiana Jones, Gremlins, and it's like a film that needs no introduction.
Imagine if you start adding all the speed of those work and they're like, and shindles list, like what we call. I've got two more. I've left my favourite one to last. They call themselves the goonies, the secret caves, the lighthouse, the lost map, the treacherous traps, the hidden treasure and sloth.
Don't you mention sloth? Sloth. Sloth. Sloth.
Join the adventure. That one, how many of them tried with that tag line? Just put them in the end. Word, word, word, word.
Yeah. So my last one is my favourite one and it leads me into my first fact that I'm going to get out just in case anyone else has it and I want to tell it. Just being dying for this fact, just being seen. If anyone knows this fact, I'm going to kill you.
I'm going to kill you. You ready? No. I think Paul already liked this one.
Take the oath. Join the adventure. Oh, I love that. Yeah.
I thought you might like that. I thought you might like that one. So I left that one to last. And I just leave me into my first little tidbit before we get into the Watsawiser House and the Wends.
So we all know that the Goonies quarter is, never say a die. But did you know the Goonies actually had an oath that was cut out of the film? Sure, Chris. Um, are you ready?
This is the Goonies oath that was cut out. I might, I might, I might, I might take a copy of this afterwards and make everyone who's part of the area of North swear on this oath. Yeah, it's part of it. Yeah, it's part of it.
Yeah, it's on it. Yeah. And I'm trying to do that then. I will never betray my Goon Doc friends.
We will stick together until the whole world ends. Through Heaven and Hell, a nuclear war, good pals like us will stick like tar. In the city or in the country or the forest or the boonies, I am proudly declared as a fellow Goony. Yes.
Ah. That was cut out the film. Scoop, Scoop, Scoop, Scoop. Yeah, that was cut out the film.
And they do actually reference it in the film about like taking an oath. Yeah. And that was the oath. Funny enough, the top of things that were cut out this movie because there's a lot of stuff that are legend and there's a lot of stuff that's actually not known about.
So that was cut out this movie. Because I know when Richard John had first got involved with this movie, he didn't want to do a kid's movie. This was going to be like an adult adventure. That's why a lot of the swearing and the jokes about the penis on the statue, all those things that were left in.
But this was very much an adult thing, like almost like the lines of Indiana Jones. This wasn't going to be tasked as a kid's movie. But with Spielberg being involved, he was like, he's down as a producer and stuff like he is like the second in command director in this. There were certain aspects that Spielberg asked for, that he clashed with John about.
So the stuff that was filmed and Richard Donner just went to that's not going in there. That didn't work. One is the most famous scene of all is the Octo scene, which Kelly's already alluded to. The footage is online.
You can say it's absolutely heard. It's basically the kids. It was basically just like a floppy off-post no animatronics that was in. And the kids were putting their arms around them, they're going to walk out going, oh, I'm being attacked and it was just absolutely terrible.
But they did leave the questioning at the end. And Octo scene was called after some. It's what I was thinking. Did you...
Again, isn't it like dynamite in the mouth or something? I can't remember. I don't think the... I don't think the boat...
I think it's a keep on punching in it. Something like that. I think Brand Punch... Don't get down.
Octo! Sorry, I'm loving the fact that Lee's wafting in the wind. I... Oh, I see it's because I've got me fun right here.
And if I do that, it's like... I think I just look French now like, Oh, it's quiet. It is a bit of a thing. It's a bit of a balleruolo now.
Yeah. Let's say this is only once. Pissing. Michael Jackson inspired a scene that Spielberg was insisting on.
That Richard Donner, when he asked him about it, he goes, oh, that footage just disappeared. No one knows. Like, he can't... It's not even in any of the archives because when Richard Donner really hated it and went, this is what it works.
You know when the down stair down underground and the messing with the pipes? Yeah. When they do that, one of the things that kind of breaks out is in a zoo. And there was a zoo element.
Yes, yes. And two monkeys escaped from the zoo and still Troy's car. So you say two people in a monkey, so driving down the straight in Troy's car and they filmed it. And Richard Donner watching went...
He'll never admit to it because it's hilarious. There's like other people have alluded to it. But when he's done interviews and he was asked about it, he went, yeah, that footage just disappeared. I don't know what happened to it.
But even more of others' archives can't even find the footage of it, which is hilarious. He probably never shot it. He probably said he did, but didn't press record. It's like, oh, no, what are we going to do?
Shucks. But it was because Michael Jackson visited on set with bubbles. And then Tveilog was like, we've got to get him on the scene in somehow. Other thing that was cooked, that's not as famous, but I'd be like it is when they're in the store and they can't...
Because Troy in the original script was painted as Donner Bad Guy, as the old Diggas and the Goony, shall we say? And they're in the store and chunks of space in the ice cream, trying to grab stuff from his head's in. So Troy walks in, pushes chunk fully in the fridge, steals the map off Mikey and sets him in five and pretends to Smogit, to the point where Mouthe starts having a fight with Troy, and then Brand comes in and breaks up the fight, and you say Troy actually scared of Brand. But for that scene to be in, it wouldn't have made sense that Brand found them at the restaurant.
So it was kind of things. And there was an alternate event as well. Yes, I know about this one. Is this where the regroup let me eat Mikey's house?
And Rosalita finds the jewels in the pocket and then they run out the house and say, what's the vibe? So they thought it didn't really work, so they filmed it again at the beach. I love that ending. I don't care what anyone says.
I know the whole octopus sings in there, but it almost like if you never knew that scene existed, or it ever came out and you hear it saying, the octopus is really scary. You just think, oh my god, these kids are like the miners or everywhere. I would have much preferred chunks at that line at the end. Yes.
It would have fit perfectly. And then you could have brought the gap, the policemen coming in and saying, are you telling them stories again and chunk? Can I just ask a quick question before we get into it? Everything else.
It's a relationship between Steph and Mouthe. Is Steph his babysitter? Because to me, Not creepy if it is. No, I think that makes perfect sense as she was once his babysitter.
She gravitates straight away to him. She connects instantly. The first person when they join the group, she speaks to his mouth. She's only ever concerned about his well-being.
They're of the whole film. Mm, I've never heard of that one before. The only thing... That was just what I was thinking of today when I was watching it.
No, it's a good show. Because what you won't remember as well, this is the goon-docks. And if you go to the place where it was on the endora, I can't get the weather now, sorry. Mm-hm.
Basically, it's like a small town, a small little place, where everyone knows the business. It's almost like a Stephen King novel, where everyone knows each other. It's almost Stephen King. Yeah.
It's got a lot of vibes and stuff as well. Yeah. But yeah, when they filmed it, it wanted a story, I'm sorry, that was the thing. When they filmed it, it was basically meant to be in this close-knit little community where everyone knew each other's business.
Right. So everyone's friends were there. At times, but you didn't have a choice so your friends were. You just were friends with a lot of people out there because they wanted many people to choose from.
Yeah, it's just... It's one of the first things that I watched this film today and to play for the millions of time. But it was... I said to these guys one before we came on it, for the first time when I finished watching it, I almost wanted to cry because I felt like so light and light because I've had a very dark experience in the last few days and very light and very fuzzy and warm and fuzzy inside.
And I was like, oh, like, this film isn't without its faults. No. And for a movie that would be looked upon as, you know, a classic and a classic for a reason, there was a lot, a lot of mistakes in here, a lot. And a couple that kind of caught my eye.
And I did intentionally go and try to find this one. Mr. Donner could not keep his laughter to himself in a certain scene. And you could actually hear him on camera laughing.
It was during the interrogation scene, wasn't it? Yes, and I could totally understand it. And that's why one of the brothers starts laughing is to hide the fact that it's actually Richard Donner, who's laughing. And...
Yeah, it was a very noisy set that came up and talked about as well. A lot of the stuff that I talked about or during the filming, the cast, like, laughter, it's the first ever film that they made where they had a read over the voice, the sound, because the sound for most of the scenes didn't work. I know which one you're going to see next. I'll let you see.
Is it the... The cameraman. We doped. Yeah, it's very doped over there.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, it's a doped over there. It's a good one. It's a good one. It's not all the way through.
When Sean calls Brandon Josh. And it's in the film. It's in the film. Right.
Yeah. Is it the cameraman who directs them in the tunnel? No, no, no. When they're in the tunnel, you can see a cameraman showing them to the one side.
Oh, didn't even know this. But I think with the practical effects, one of things before we start getting into the movie, like big and deep dive in, I just want to ask you, for guys a few questions about it, because this is 40-year anniversary. This is 40 years of this movie. Why do you think...
There's other movies that's getting it. We've done Jaws 50 years. Like, why are we still... I know why I'm made personally, but why do you think people are still...
So not just like this movie, but so in love with this movie. And the kind of people always go out. And again, what Sammy said, after you watch it, it leaves a woman for the feeling. It does.
It's, as I said, a film of its time, but it's time is at the same... In the same sense of the film. But with you youngsters, shall we say, Sammy too, I mean, Lee, and... and, and, and, and, and, it's like, well, Chris, why do you think this movie still holds...
still holds at the place in people's hearts so much? Well, that's for, but if I want to let the top grums actually say something. Um, it's... It's perfect.
Like, this whole film is perfectly set up. Um, it gives you, like, a bit of a premise about what's going on. It introduces the characters, um, and it shows you, like, what the consequences are going to be really early on, if, like, the... like, things go the way that they are going.
It gives them a goal. Um, and it doesn't, like, go too deep into it. It just goes like, like, this is this, this is this. And it really easily introduces, like, the characters.
And I love that. It gives them, like, little flaws, so that you can, like, identify with them. Like, oh, can it kill yourself? Right?
So, um, right, there's obviously, like, there's... Oh, what's a... Sean, I can't... My God, no.
My... He's got... He keeps getting these words all wrong. He's picked that up from his man.
Um, there's... I'm making these, like, inventions. Um, and, like, they don't always work out. All right.
Like, when he's getting pulled towards the bin and he ends up upside down, Sean getting introduced him early on as, like, this, like, like, weird kid. But he wasn't, he wasn't, he was just loud mouthed and he was... Yeah, he was quite adventurous and he's only away. And it's like, everyone, like, sort of, like, knows someone like this or is someone like this.
And, um, it's just, you can easily identify with these people and just kind of see yourself somewhere. And I don't know which one I would identify myself as, like, but, um, obviously, then there's the cool guy that, like, works out all the time. He always gets the girl and he's just really cool. But...
Well, we have all these identifiable characters just sitting right in front of you. And it's really nice. Oh, so we've got Brandlai now, are we? I love the headband.
I love the headband. I'm not really the data. I can't even... We'll tell a joke about that later, but yeah, we'll get it.
Oh, God. I'm just moving, I'm just not going to acknowledge it. Yes, I'm just moving. But no, it's like, being serious, though, it does, like, you can't see yourself or somebody that you know in this crew.
And it's nice that the show, the flaws of the characters, rather than just being like, oh, he is... He is, he is, Dave. He's eating a banana, because he's a banana guy. And it just shows him eating a banana every, like, 10 minutes of the flu, he's eating a banana.
There we go. Inspired by the text, that'd be really good. No, it's one of those things, like, because from the eighties, it was well-renowned, like, oh, you know, like, common-of-the-edge movies were just better done back then, for some reason. It wasn't relied on special effects.
I think storytelling was key. So having these kids be flawed, have the one personalities, and that was more down to the direction, and the right-hand way, they just basically said, bring your personalities to the characters of these kids. So there was a lot of ad-libbing and stuff added on the set. The two biggest kids in this movie that you wouldn't believe were the two frittelipity-builders, like the shit they would...
The shit they would pull on each other. Like, you know the joke about Francis' hair. Me and Michaela are still caught after each other today. We wanted to spend the money to get Francis' toothpaste.
I don't want to have him. That wasn't part of the script. That was literally him winding them up, because when they were talking about it, like, in the casting, he was rubbing them in. He can't be my brother.
Look, look, he's happy. It's moving. See, the fight where you can start losing your shit. Look, I can look, I can move it there.
And just move around. So Spielberg kept on probleming him. Take the piece out of his hair piece a bit more here. Oh my gosh.
Those two are written perfectly as well. Yeah, they are. Just one piece of the fight all the way through, and then when they get cut down from the rope at the end, and the boss lying there, and one of them goes, are you okay? And it's like, he cares about what he's brought to the care about each other, and then he's okay, and then immediately they're just not playing again.
And they're problem-lummies boys as well, aren't they? And I watched a video on a day that Paul recommended, and Richard Donner, oh my god, how much he talks lovely about Mama Fatali and Ramsay. And just, he just kept calling that mother. Didn't she was a mother?
She was a mother on set. And you know that woman was very, very poorly when this film was, when they were doing this film, and you could not tell one inch that anything was bothering her. She was absolute perfection. Well, you see, Richard Donner went on record and said, the reasons why certain characters worked is because you had to make them believable.
You had to make certain aspects, because they were trying to write fantasy and outlandish things as well. Like, they had to believe that the fertility brothers were her sons. They had to believe that chunk was her son. Not chunks, I sloth.
I sloth. And then sloth, we had to believe that chunk loved sloth, and was like a brother to him in the end. So to have them act and do them things, they had to be that believable, because otherwise the film wouldn't have worked. But going back to the two brothers, because after being left me head off reading about stuff like all the last few years, like Robert Dovary, he just had the best time on the set.
Like literally, he's like, this is just here in Toronto, the good news. He's very serious and he plays all the bad guys, but he thinks, yeah, if Jeff Gordon says anything about me pulling these lines, and Jeff Gordon's got, yeah, when I was crying, he was pulling me head and he was crying hard at the bastard. I was like, and things like Robert Pallatinini went for an app. So instead of just like, locked me door, he nailed the fucking door shut on his trailer.
So he couldn't get out. So he kept doing these tricks and stuff. But he was encouraged because they wanted that type of vibe. They wanted that type of camaraderie going on during this movie.
Wow, they're fantastic. They're fantastic. It's shocking that I've not seen them work together in anything, if I have, I've not seen it. But because the chemistry between them two was electric.
Like actually, all three of them, it was like all three of them had basically been pulled from a family unit and just shoved into a film because it was so believable. Just I just have so much love for that woman. I really, and I know she's the bad guy, but she tries at the end a little bit, doesn't she? Even though her face is like half, what are you just doing the rocker by Vivian?
She's like, baby, she's like, they're really sweet and then she'll go, they're kind of so. Oh, don't. I've really had a bit of a cry over him tonight. Oh, I don't know.
He's near me there. Hello. Is that your play, Sloth? John, Madazak.
Madazak. Yeah. Yeah. We are watching the behind the scenes of the prosthetics being put on and Richard Donner's watching it and giving commentary.
And E. God, if he didn't see it, that man went far too early. He said it a thousand times. I just how sad it was for us to lose the nicest, gentlest giant in the world.
And he does look when he's putting the makeup on, and especially that looked heavy. That heavy break, the prosthetics now would have been, it would be easier, lighter, but that looked like heavy prosthetics going on his neck, on his head, the top of his head. Like he would have been so uncomfortable. Was it animatronics as well?
Because he has fluff. Yeah, that's a theory. That's a theory. That's a lot easier than something.
Yeah. Did you hear what the, you probably did. But did you hear about the water saying with him? When he had the rain dives in or something?
Because when he was going to the water, when they're trying to leave the cave, the kids were talled. John had just spent five hours getting in a makeup and it wasn't waterproof. He went, if this makeup gets wet, it will come off and you'll have to go through five hours of doing it again to get the shot. So the kids were talled to keep them dry and not do any splashing or not do anything water related at the near them.
They didn't listen. He got soaked and the makeup started coming off. And he turned to Richard Dunningman. I've got this one again, doesn't he?
I'm really sorry. He went, no problem. Walked off set. Didn't even complain.
And I can say five hours of that prosthetics. Like he says, no word. Like he said, Richard Dunning said, I've dealt with a lot of big name actors, a lot of people who basically would spend half the time in the makeup or do certain things, would bitch like a, like, out of thing. Not one word come out this month says because he knew what he was doing, and he was just having the phone.
But, and all we cut them off earlier, so I do apologize because it is an exciting episode. What do you think, Chris? Why do you think this movie is last of the time? Is this like the original ragtag bunch of kids that people can relate to from the 80s going on an adventure?
And it's actual kids, I think. So it's not just like Hollywood kids that say shit that bully each other, that take the piss out of each other, there's been a band between them, like, forcing Chunk to do the troubleshough and all that sort of stuff. Like, you'd probably get that within a group of friends. Aren't you getting the older brother where the friend from takes the piss out of him because he kind of didn't get his driving license.
Where in turn, like, he, I don't know, he's a bit of a dick, but he can't, you can't see, like, you look at him. He's a care addict, like, he cares about them. He does. I love the fact that they're like, going, oh, now you can't drive us around.
And it's like, he's like three or four years older than you're or something like that. Why is he going to be driving the kids around? I don't know. I feel like Brown's like a bit of an outsider himself.
He's a kid who's in the typical school. I don't think he fits into the typical school. He's not for a Troy. He's not part of that click.
So I think he's kind of like a little outsider himself. So he gets it. So he probably is one of these kids who spent way too much time with his brother. Yeah, and Troy can fuck off.
Look at that. Oh, I think I could've done for a candidate. Oh, yeah. Well, he has to bring it.
He's off. Yeah. Yeah. That would have killed a normal bit, normal not in a film person.
I know. But I'm not going to talk to you. No, I'm not going to talk to you. Brown is a goony.
Goonies never die. Goonies never say a die. Now Chris has had a very special day at a day. And I really wanted to bring us on.
And this is why I love this movie as well, because it's one of those movies that you can watch with, like, a niece and nephew. But he got to shout with his son, Deere. And what was your experience of watching the goonies with Finley? Well, I didn't know if it might be a bit too old for him, because it is a 12 age.
And the first scene you do see one of the Fratelli brothers hanging in a cell. Mm-hmm. I mean, he's not really, he tends to be dead, but he's not really bitten at the sea. Shit, and a couple of times.
But he loved it. I think he's watched it six times off the truck as well. Normally, he watches stuff like Power Rangers, Port Patrol. He's just being like, no, I want to watch it again.
I want to put it on again and again. And I'm like, yeah, I put it on his tablet. So I don't have to watch it at the same time though. But I get that feeling.
I could have quite happily at the end of watching it. And put it straight back on again and watch it all over again. And not even blink now, that's it. He's been completely in it as well, because normally when he watches a film, you'll get distracted, he'll do whatever he's been zooming in.
That's how it starts, Chris. This is how it all started for me. I'm gonna have to get him on your wings. Well, what?
It's often you'll be turned round and went into bloodshed. Sorry. What bit did he laugh at the most or what's it? There's statue.
Oh, yeah. So the part that's starting with, where the chunk breaks it and it's when he comes off. That's one of his favorite part. I think it might be because he likes to say the word with it.
Right. I mean, he does a funny word. Yeah, but there's a lot of times. There is one part that he absolutely hates.
He sees it every time. It's Joanne Cindy Loper. It comes on the screen. Oh, on the telly.
Yeah, on the telly. Like the first time he saw it, he went, oh, she looks disgusting. I'm like, oh, I'm telling. And I'm like, serious.
Did you hear that? I hear that. I'm like, oh, okay. But every time I thought, oh, she's like, she's like a music artist.
I don't care. What's she called? Chris. Cindy Loper.
She's a bit of children. There's been a dispute in the discord this week about how do you pronounce her name? Is it Loper or whatever Chris has been saying? Loper.
Loper. Loper. Loper. Loper.
Loper. Loper. Loper. Loper.
Loper. So, Finley didn't want girls to have fun. I'd take it for you. No.
That hits it. Ooh. Well, I do love that moment. Again, Chris has been sending his videos and saying like Finley proper and joining when you're asking question about, he's not just like, say, or like, ignoring like, Daddys, Maitany, watch this.
You can tell how engrossed it was. And that's what, like, this, to me, why this movie is so special as well. It's like, you can have them moments, not just like with your friends or your family. It kind of brings everyone together and you have them, kind of like warm and fuzzy moments as well.
And yeah, I just love the fact that like, how the cast was, the direction, I was messing Chris left me head off at this. The only direction that Richard Donner used to give the kids was the shout-naps in Bigger Eyes. That was the only thing he used to shout with them. He wanted them to have bigger eyes, bigger excitement, like, in the ring, the treasure map.
You're like, Chris, you'll see. Chum. Chum. You'll see Chum in my ear.
It's like, I suddenly go off on like this to wide open. It's like, he wanted everyone to have a, we have a wonder foot. Tell me, my cousin communicate with each other. That is gone.
I'm doing good with the guys. Stair. But Sean Aston, in a recent Q&A as dispelled one of the biggest rumors or one of the biggest things that people always said about the Goonies. So he was quite funny with it because Sean Aston is one of the most lovable people in the world.
Oh, he's just amazing. Yeah. And he got asked the question that always gets asked that these panels are what things in. Was it really the first time you guys saw the pirate ship at that time?
Now, everyone else in the panel went, yes, that was our true reaction. They had a cut, Corey Filman's audio because he said focus on anything like that. So that was, that was just, that was just, that was just, but no, you're probably right there. Sorry.
Um, just think filming. So I was wrong and so that was the thing. But, um, Sean Aston had a cheeky smile on these face. He went, I'm going to tell you is now the secret.
He went, I saw it before everyone else. I snuck in and saw the pirate ship because I was offended that when I was asked to, wanted the real reaction that I couldn't give a performance of a surprise. Sean Aston. Oh my gosh.
Sean Aston. Sean Aston as an openly little kid. Um, Well, you do know he's, he comes from famous stocks. So he's like, he's the number one ever, maybe.
Yes. So I have a speech. But he did this. Yeah, 10, 12 or something.
10 year old. Being offended by that. Oh, to be fair, he nearly never got the job. Spielberg didn't want to cast him.
I know. Cause Juney's audition, he kept on fluffing, and making mistakes. To the point where Spielberg walked out the room. And Richard Donner went over and went, look, this is the way I want to do it.
You do it. So calmly told him and went, we'll start again. And he did it exactly what Richard Donner want. And that's why Richard Donner cast him.
Cause he went, that I can tell him to do something. And he will do it. Yeah. And I think that's a director's dream when it comes to working with kids.
And the other saying that Richard Donner, the word went on a script, Richard Donner went, this is how we're going to do it. So he took Sean Aston out the room, told him, when I tell you a story, I want you to go back in after I've told you the story and tell the story the best you can from what I've told you. And it was about the Spanish Armada, like in the attic. So when he's, because that's why he's still an Aston's someone on words, I think.
So it's like, oh, my dad said, so that was when Richard Donner just basically given the story and said, it was like Chinese whispers in a way. It's like, do it the best you can to the thing. Cause he wanted to sound authentic, not like reading off a script. It's like, I'm sorry, like a kid would.
And that's why that wasn't those scenes. They're so magical and so well done. That you don't get that. This is kind of like the freedom that they had with this set.
And all the cast comes on. Like, like, Richard Donner had an open door policy. So if you're having a bad day, you could go in and vent and he would just sit there, listen and hear what you've got to say. It sounds like the best person.
Like we've dealt with Donner in Superman and this and just everything you hear about the way that he directs people and works on movie sets. He comes across even better and better for each story. You hear about him. He just sounds like the absolute best, but just to go the pirate ship, wasn't really real, as you can tell.
But do you know what it was scaled after? No. It is the exact ship to scale, to design, to everything that you see in the film that Sloth is watching at the beginning of the movie. All right, so Captain.
It is based on Errol Flynn's ship. At the beginning of the film, it's the design of it. Down to the whole French is all that ship. It did it very much on purpose, obviously.
It was one of the most expensive props ever been. I can imagine. Did it get dismantled afterwards or is it still somewhere? I don't think so.
I don't think it's still around. It's so it's a, it's sort of the way. It's still the way. Do you just want to know what their Goonies' real names are?
The full names. Oh, yeah. I did a few of these for the quiz. And we did the quiz before.
Oh, doesn't get the quiz cup again. That quiz doesn't, every time I watch the Goonies now, when Sean hasn't got his ship, the Inferno, I'm like fucking Paul man with that question. It's such a throw we're lying in the movie. Well, you got Michael Walsh.
Yeah. Clock, never all. Which I love the fact that he's general. Data is Richard Wan.
Brand is obviously Brandon Walsh. Chunk is Orange Corn. Isn't that his name? Yeah, they used certain aspects like Andy, Andy, on the beach.
Andy is Andy Theresa Carmichael. Yeah, on the beach. It's actually a real parents because they didn't want a customer. Because Andy said her mum always jokes up.
She put a line in when she's talking to her mum, saying I want to take a pair of presents, she's like, yes, she can. That was our lived. It was a bit seed disturbance. Oh, amazing.
And Steph is Stephanie Steinbrenner. And Sloth is Lottney Fritelli. Yes. Fritelli?
Yeah. That is her son. For some reason. Lottney.
Lottney. Like a botany. Yeah, but with an L. I thought that they just phoned Sloth.
Right. It was one of them. I didn't think they actually had Sloth. Yeah.
Yeah. Can you tell it, baby? Can you tell it, baby? It was just dropped.
Yeah. Repeat the thing. That's why you said touch it. Yeah.
And stop, don't, apparently. Drop. Yeah. And also, this film is very clever in all the swearing in the film is actually deliberate and strategically placed.
Because Don knew that people would go in and cut shit out. So he put it in places he didn't care about. Yeah. It seems if you watch closely, it often happens when there's a lot of background noise, like the police can't chase and begin the film or when there is run in water or another loud sound or a loud source or a sound nearby.
This way, the broadcaster can lose the profanity in the sound mix often cut a couple of seconds off the footage without losing any significance happening on screen. So they were very, very clever in how they strategically put together the swearing. I always knew from the stiff one. When if there's, there's a stiff was in the film, you knew what version you were getting.
There should have been a little bit more swearing, I think. Because the one part, this film that I just think is not believable at all is when the tie branded into the chair with the stretchy thing. Yeah. And he shouts and he's like, when you wake up, your clothes are going to be out of fashion.
No, he would have been like, Mikey, you fucking dick. You fucking fucking fucking back in now. That's why it is going to nip into every hair that he has on his arm. It is going to knock.
Ouch. And to be fair, Josh Bournon looked like a hairy little kid as well. So this is Josh's movie debut. Yeah.
This is the first time we see, you know, the soon-to-be fanos. Like, where we're down the line with fanos? It's crazy. But if you think of the cast as well.
When did you do a paper? Oh, it was later. Yeah. When he touched in the infinity storm.
Yeah. Like going through the cast door, because I know what Spielberg and like his casting is always on point. Like the people who came from this, like, Joe Patilano went on to do some great things. Like it was in the lyrics.
