The Goonies

So we decided to take a look at Better Off Dead, one of two 80s cult classics written and directed by Savage Steve Holland and starring John Cusack.

And I know, Jason, a favorite of yours, which I think had come up as a possibility for your own Your Pick episode, which ended up being The Goonies.

Yeah, it was.

And I also tried to push it as a first feature for Savage Steve.

don't believe so, but I did read he was quite involved in the development and the production, but mainly because it was early in his production career.

He was quite heavily involved in, say, Poltergeist and The Goonies.

When he began life as a producer, he was quite hands-on on all accounts.

Right.

yeah so he's tiger so as you say he's kind of the second main character but he's only turning up at the point where there is

exactly i guess that there's we we learn quite a bit about him because i guess he's he's a cat that doesn't belong with these other cats he's a vegetarian uh

in the goonies

Oh, no, I'd say none.

And Jude Law was in it.

And it was like the Goonies in space for kids.

And what was special about it, it was set in the Star Wars universe.

And people everywhere were like, it's not for me.

All right.

You know they're making a sequel to Goonies? And he was in Goonies.

Is he Goonie, yeah.

They're making a sequel.

Elder millennials being like, oh, my fucking God.

It's a reference to, do you guys remember the Goonies? Oh, my fucking God.

Furbies.

You guys ever see Furby? Not Furby.

Stage 15 started.

where they filmed Casablanca, Ghostbusters, and Goonies.

And so let me show you something, Dylan.

At that time, I went to the Warner Brothers gym, you know, where Ashton Kutcher would go, and they handed out these gym towels that said Time Warner Wellness.

You're not that cool, but you're still in the 80s.

No, I watched the Goonies.

And I knew who you

were talking about, Raphael or whatever the hell his name is.

Oh, we do.

Is there some sort of Goonies reunion

going

on? Even better.
