1 hour 49 minutes

Recorded November 17, 2024 at Mississippi Studios - Portland, OR

“He’s a man-monster, I’m sorry!” - Steve on Sloth

On this week’s Summer Live episode, it’s our wild show from last year in the great city of Portland, Oregon where we were talking about local favorite and Dick Donner classic, The Goonies! How cool is that jailbreak sequence with all the fire and what-not? Was there an old lady more terrifying than Anne Ramsey? What is Martha Plimpton’s character doing at the beginning of this movie, bobbing for crabs? Is all this over-talking what it would be like if Robert Altman made a film with child protagonists? And why did they leave in that Sean Astin name flub take? PLUS: Move over Truffle Shuffle, it’s the Bologna Bounce!

The Goonies stars Sean Astin, Josh Brolin, Jeff Cohen, Corey Feldman, Kerri Green, Martha Plimpton, Ke Huy Quan, Robert Davi, Joe Pantoliano, Anne Ramsey, Lupe Ontiveros, Mary Ellen Trainor, and John Matuszak as Sloth; directed by the late, great Richard Donner.
