Hello film fanatics! Are you ready to relive the magic of the 1985 classic movie The Goonies? Then batten down the hatches and set sail with the Four Takes Movie Podcast for our hilarious and insightful discussion on this beloved adventure film directed by Richard Donner.

In our latest podcast episode, Martin, Luke, David, and Adam dive deep into the world of Mikey, Brand, Mouth, Data, Chunk, and the unforgettable Sloth. We explore why this kids film (or is it?) continues to capture hearts decades later and perfectly encapsulates the spirit of the 1980s.

What Treasures Await You in This Episode?

  • Is The Goonies Really a Kids Film? We debate the surprising swearing and the appearance of a dead body that might raise a few eyebrows today.
  • Behind the Scenes Secrets: Discover fascinating facts, including Steven Spielberg's unexpected involvement in a gorilla‑filled second‑unit shoot and a giant octopus that didn't make the final cut!
  • The Iconic Characters: We chat about the brilliant characters and the incredible cast, including Sean Astin (Samwise Gamgee himself!), Josh Brolin (the mighty Thanos!), and Oscar‑winner Ke Huy Quan. We even delve into the real‑life animosity between the hilariously hateful Fatelli brothers, Joe Pantaliano and Robert Davi, and remember the wonderful Anne Ramsey as Mama Fatelli.
  • Practical Magic vs. Dodgy CGI: We reminisce about the glory of practical effects in The Goonies and lament some of the less impressive CGI we see in modern movies.
  • Our Favourite Goonies Moments: Each of the podcast hosts shares their most cherished moments from the film, from the heart‑warming bond between Chunk and Sloth to the chaotic fun in the Goonies club house (Mikey and Brand's house).
