And, oh yeah, a newly minted Oscar winner. Meanwhile, the film's cast is an impressive "oh, yeah, that guy!" ensemble of major stars and notable character actors, like a then-16-year-old Josh Brolin making his movie debut. So, what is not to appreciate about that ever-timely premise? And in a film about the joys and perils of devoted friendship, the youngsters who pledged their never-say-die loyalty to their Goon Docks squad (though a more elaborate oath reportedly ended up on the cutting room floor) may have had faith in an old map, but their trust was in each other. I feel relieved.Hey, you guyyyyys! It's time to do the Truffle Shuffle because we're celebrating Everything Everywhere All At Once's Ke Huy Quan's 2023 Oscars win with a look back at his earlier work: The Goonies.Īnd yes, the 1985 adventure comedy remains just as heartwarming and enjoyable more than three decades after the Steven Spielberg-produced film about a ragtag group of kids who set off to find a pirate's lost treasure first hit theaters. And let's not forget their ultimate goal: Save their families' homes from foreclosure. Chunk's mother is there to greet him, on the beach, with a box of "Domino's Pizza, your favorite!" I feel happy for Chunk. That was a thrilling couple of hours! ( Spoiler alert!) Treasure has been collected, the bad guys have been captured, and the Goonies have been rescued. Is he okay? Scared? Hungry?Ġ1:38:00 Chunk finally gets some pizza Well, geez. And I want ice cream.Ġ1:32:00 WHERE IS CHUNK? It's been ages since we've seen or heard Chunk salivate over junk food. It feels, still, important to the development of their relationship._Ġ1:12:10 "Rocky Road" I've heard that this is kind of an epic scene. There is much kissing (from Sloth) and crying (from Chunk). Chunk had that in his pocket all along? I will suspend my disbelief and assume he had forgotten about it until this very moment.)Ġ1:09:10 More sharing of candy Sloth is feeding Chunk the Baby Ruth. Essentially, how I feel every day at about noon. Sloth literally breaks his chains OUT OF THE WALL to collect a Baby Ruth that has fallen on the floor. ![]() "And my mom sent me to this summer camp for fat kids and then once during lunch I got nuts, and I pigged out, and they kicked me out."Ġ1:05:15 Chunk and Sloth watch cooking shows and share a candy bar This scene is gold. Chunk's driven wild: "Pizza…pepperoni," he whispers feverishly.Ġ0:53:45 Chunk tells all The bad guys-the Fratelli family-have nabbed Chunk and begin interrogating him. They also have a dead person.Ġ0:44:22 Chunk wants some pizza The bad guys return-with pizza. They got grape, and super duper chocolate eruption, and…" Holy hell. They've got pralines and cream, they've got Mississippi mud, and they got chocolate eruption, and they got apple, and they got grape. ![]() Again As Mikey tries to dig for the buried treasure, Mouth suggests: "Listen, why don't we just pour chocolate all over the floor and let Chunk eat his way through!" Mouth, you are officially a bully.Ġ0:43:18 Chunk discovers a freezer in the abandoned restaurant "I smell ice cream. It's dinner time, our parents are worried…"Ġ0:38:55 Chunk gets stereotyped Sloth ( John Matuszak) _ growls in the distance, and poor Chunk gets blamed: "Chunk, I hope that was your stomach," says Stef ( Martha Plimpton).Ġ0:40:50 Chunk gets stereotyped. ![]() 00:30:00 Chunk's hankering for a fizzy beverage "Soda pop! Oh boy, am I thirsty!" And then, upon finding the vending machine empty, "Damn it." It is a Pepsi machine, and I am starting to realize which soft drink manufacturer bought product-placement rights to this film.Ġ0:32:47 Chunk makes a brilliant food reference In a flurry of anxiety, Chunk describes a car as having "bullet holes the size of matzo balls!"Ġ0:36:29 Chunk has dinner on the brain.
