About this listen
Roy and Brian discuss The Goonies, a 1985 Steven Spielberg film about a group of kids from Astoria, Oregon, who try to find the hidden treasure of One-Eyed Willy in order to save their neighborhood from capitalistic developers.
We talk about the movie's nostalgia and also its very problematic depictions of boys' treatment of girls, the exploitation of immigrants, fat shaming, and more. We also share our thoughts about the portrayal of Data, played by young Ke Huy Quan. (To give you a hint, ask yourself, what do you remember most about Data?) Lace up your slick shoes, pop in a Cyndi Lauper cassette, and let's discuss The Goonies!
