The Worst Adults I Know

The boys have long held that The Goonies is a bad movie. And for their entire lives people have been telling them they are wrong. So for their encore commentary they sit down to watch Richard Donner's 1985 treasure hunt "classic" to prove once and for all that they were right... You're welcome.

(Movie begins at 16:50)

Also, make sure to check out our bonus commentary for Cyndi Lauper's music video "The Goonies 'R' Good Enough" over on our website! Part 1 of the video can be found here, and part 2 here.

If you like what you hear, there's a whole back catalogue over on the site! Follow us for updates on our next grand adventure, Quantum Leap of Faith!

Having exhausted every good idea over the course of the first 99 episodes (and the 27-ish commentary episodes, the Star Wars miniseries, the Fast and the Furious miniseries, the pilot for their next venture, and some other random sidesteps), the boys are left with only the show itself to talk about. So enjoy this very special, very narcissistic, totally not requested Behind the Music-style episode.

The boys were minding their own business - just eating candy bars and gossiping about that old factory on the edge of town - when BAM! Golden ticket! Now they'll have to square off against a psychopathic candy mogul for your attention... because they're watching Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory!

We're all getting older, but the boys are at that stage where they're starting to notice it. And they don't like it. This week they implant magnets in their hands, correct their terrible posture, disguise themselves to escape youths, allow themselves feel (finally), and explain away their inability to be up to date on hip lingo... all in an attempt to stave off the inevitable.

No one has ever praised the boys for their interior design choices. And rightly so. So it should come as no surprise that their attempts to improve their living spaces in this hour lead to battling mutants, showering with houseplants, ruining a dorm, and rebooting Home Improvement. Bob Vila would be so proud.

And remember: Safety third!

Remember 2017? Adam doesn't. This week finds the boys grasping for ANYTHING to talk about from last year... and failing spectacularly as they try to hype 2018.

What's that mysterious drumming sound? Why it's 1995's Jumanji! Just in time to take advantage of your renewed interest in this family-friendly Robin Williams adventure (thanks to the very fun, tangentially-connected Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle (in theaters now!)), the boys are here to goof and gab their way through this pseudo-classic.

In celebration of the holiday season Adam is trying to instigate a grass roots witch hunt to out Matthew as Father Christmas!
