About this listen

Heyyyyy, you guys! Join us, as we chat about the rollicking good time that is Steven Spielberg’s 1985 family action film, The Goonies (1985). From the abundance of child stars that we still love today, to our stretch to classify this as anything remotely related to the horror genre, as always, we have thoughts!

After a little chat about this fun, little adventure flick, Ashley shares the haunting history of Isla de las Munecas AKA The Island of the Dolls, an allegedly haunted, and definitely eerie floating garden filled with hundreds of dismembered dolls in Mexico.
