The Goonies (1985)

Movie #1,241 • FRIDAY WILDCARD

We went to see this at an outside park screening. The inflatable screen on which the DVD was being projected was blowing in the wind. It kind of felt like I was on drugs watching it. Also, my friends' kid was being super annoying so it was difficult to fully pay attention and enjoy. I'd like to watch it again under better circumstances.

I don't know if I'd classify it as a classic. I have minor nostalgia for this but it was never a real childhood fave of mine (though I can understand why it would be for some).

I gotta give a special shout-out to Jeff Cohen who played Chunk. Damn, I forgot how much he steals the movie. Just completely LoL funny, almost every line. I'll grade this as an 8/10 but it feels more like an incomplete. I eventually want to do a Richard Donner Director Focus so will probably save it for that.

SCORE: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Stranger Things Tomb of Ybwen Review

If you haven't yet, be sure to check out my reviews for other Stranger Things tie-ins. Like, reblog, and let me know what your thoughts are:

Stranger Things Six

Stranger Things Halloween Special

Stranger Things The Other Side

Stranger Things Zombie Boys

Stranger Things The Bully

Stranger Things Winter Special

Synopsis: It's January 1985, two months after the group's battle with the Mind Flayer. Still reeling from the death of Bob Newby, Will becomes intrigued one day when he and Mr. Clarke discover a map containing clues from Bob to an ancient Viking treasure buried in Hawkins. Against the wishes of his friends, Will ventures into Mirkwood to look for the treasure just as a blizzard hits. Fearing for his safety, Will's friends go after him as they also begin to wonder if the treasure is real..........

Observations:

I said this before in my Halloween Special Review, but this is a personal favorite. Comics and tie-ins that focus on the Party hanging out, being friends, and having adventures (even if said adventures aren't tied to the Upside Down) are fun to read. This comic in particular takes heavily after The Goonies, a 1985 movie (which is exactly the same year this comic takes place in) written by Steven Spielberg and Chris Columbus, centering around a group of misfits who discover a map leading to a 17th century pirate treasure. It also stars a younger Sean Astin 30+ years before he played the role of Bob Newby on Stranger Things. Even the artwork for this comic pays homage to that movie:

The big differences between the movie and this comic are:

1.) The Party isn't getting chased around by a greedy family who wants the treasure for themselves. The only threat the group encounters is a nasty blizzard that leaves them trapped in the cold, forcing Mr. Clarke to come looking for them midway through.

2.) Unlike the movie, the treasure isn't given as much as importance as the reason for why Will wants to find it.

One of the things I've appreciated about the comics and tie-in materials is how they've given more focus to Will and enhanced aspects of his character that the show briefly touched upon. The Other Side did a great job demonstrating what Will's time was like in the Upside Down and what he had to do to survive. Zombie Boys helped illustrate the trauma and PTSD Will went through following the events of season 1, as well as his friends attempts to help him recover from it. This comic by comparison puts more focus on how Will reacted to Bob's death in season 2 and how he's coming to terms with that.

Will didn't just see Bob as a friend, but as a father-figure. Someone he could look up to and get advice from. Someone who could have been a part of his family had he not died. Now that Bob's gone, there's a mix of both grief and anger in Will, as well as the idea that locating this treasure could give him closure.

I don't want to spoil what the treasure is, but if you remember what Bob was like on the show, with his love of puzzles and mysteries, then you can probably guess that the treasure hunt he left clues for was more about the journey for him than about the destination.

And I would argue that's what Will learns by the end of it. He's initially bitter about the reveal regarding the treasure, but deep down, it was never really about the treasure. It was about him getting to know Bob better and connecting with him one last time through the treasure hunt Bob set up 20 years ago. It was about Will getting to say a final goodbye to someone he cared about.

It's nice seeing the other characters in this comic supporting Will through this. Mr. Clarke introduces Will to the history of how Bob formed the AV Club, and even gives him the map that kickstarts the plot. Mike, Dustin, and Lucas struggle with how to best approach Will's situation (sometimes they handle it with tact, other times they don't) and even join him on his quest despite how bad the weather gets because they recognize this is important to Will.

There's also Dustin who (despite having gotten his feet wet in the blizzard) becomes intrigued by the treasure when he sees the X on the tree and starts digging for it because he realizes there are actual clues pointing in a certain direction.

Furthermore, while the comic borrows heavily from The Goonies, it also contains a lot of references to Lord of the Rings: Will going into Mirkwood to find the treasure. The Party climbing a wintry hill just like the Fellowship climbs Caradhras in the books. Them arriving at an actual mine where the treasure is located, which Dustin is quick to name The Mines of Moria:

On a slightly related note, since Stranger Things heavily borrows references from LOTR, I have started looking at the books as one means of predicting the direction the Duffer Brothers might go in season 5. I also see many of the characters on the show paralleling characters from The Fellowship of the Ring:

Mike, Will, Dustin, and Lucas for instance all have characteristics that resemble Frodo, Sam, Merry, and Pippin. If I were to say which ones are a direct parallel to whom, I'd probably argue that Dustin has a lot of Pippin's qualities, with his natural curiosity and fun-loving nature. Lucas is Merry with his pragmatism and being the more sensible one in the group. People might disagree with me on this, but I see Mike resembling Sam with his unwavering loyalty to those he cares about while Will resembles Frodo with his kind nature and being the one established as having a connection to the main villain of the series (Sauron/Vecna). Even the comic itself has Lucas referring to Will as Frodo.

There are other parallels as well, which I may do a separate post about later if I choose to. Hopper's fake death in season 3 and battle with the Demogorgon in season 4 reminds me of Gandalf's supposed death at Khazad-Dum and the fight he and the Balrog have later on a snow-covered peak.

Back in June, I made a prediction about the possibility of the show killing off Mike, and even drew parallels between that and the way Boromir's death broke the Fellowship, and how Frodo's decision to sail to the Grey Havens at the end of the series was officially the end for the core four (Frodo, Sam, Merry, Pippin). Regardless of what fans have said, I could see a scenario where the Duffer Brothers kill off one of the main characters if they think it'll either drive the plot forward or impact the other characters in a way that affects future decisions for them moving forward. Since Mike is described on the show as being "The Heart" of the Party, and since both Will and El (two characters who have personal history with Vecna) are closest to Mike, I could see Vecna targeting Mike as a way of hurting both of them and demoralizing the group.

Finally, this is something I discussed with @spaghettificationandpretzels in one of my reviews, but since they've established on the show that the hive mind in the Upside Down connects all the way to Vecna, killing him once and for all would be similar to Sauron's downfall in the books where his defeat would decimate whatever armies he controls and the land he inhabits.

But I digress.

Some final aspects to note from this comic:

Scott Clarke is still dating Jen Woo from season 1, and they seem to have a happy relationship. I hope they both appear in the final season. I wouldn't even mind if the next comic or graphic novel centers around Mr. Clarke. People have joked online about how they wish they could know more about his personal life, and I would fully support a story focusing on that.

Also, Dustin briefly talks with Will at the beginning about signing up for Camp Know Where over the Summer. The events surrounding his time there (and how he meets Suzie) are covered in the comic Stranger Things Science Camp.

Overall, this is a fun comic and a must-read. I want to be careful about saying what is or isn't canon, especially when it comes to supplementary tie-ins, but this particular story is something I could see being part of the canon, especially because it doesn't contradict anything from the show and it helps build on a meaningful relationship from the show (Will and Bob). Check it out when you get the chance! :)

The Goonies (1985)

Smoking: After School Special

You know in the beginning when Robert Davi is faking dead in the county jail, I never understood how he knocked that cop out. It is one of the fakest hits I think I’ve seen in a movie. I mean sure it is 985, but it doesn’t have to be that terrible.

Introducing all the kids throughout the police chase is brilliant through Steven Spielberg. I think my favorite is Corey Feldman when he turns off the tv for the sirens and then the sirens keep going and he hits the tv 😂 just turn around.

True brother-ship right there. Josh Brolin and Sean Astin definitely act like how brothers would.

Ke Huy Quan is my favorite though. All his inventions.

F**king CF. All of those crazy things he “translated” for Lupe Ontiveros. “Always separate the drugs” 🙄

Jeff Cohen… so loud, so annoying. Let’s just yell as loud as you can that these people are going to kill you to where they can hear you. Like tf

Anne Ramsey is definitely one of the scarier mob ladies I think I’ve ever seen. She was definitely a great choice to play Mama Fratelli.

Kerri Green and Martha Plimpton running into the restaurant screaming after finding fish heads on a rake. KG “it jumped right out of the bushes” 🙄 big babies.

Guess Nike paid for some ad space. Saw 2 clear shots of different kinds of shoes as they lowered into the tunnel.

I absolutely love when they starting banging on the pipes! The asshats at the Country Club deserve every bit. Especially Steven Antin in the bathroom!

Just realized that Joe Pantoliano is the captain in Bad Boys. Had to text the bestie 😎

Goonies Never Say Die!

How does AR know the shoe size she was looking at are 5’s??

Now I really wanna Baby Ruth.

KHQ’s inventions saved his live. Pinchers of Peril! Next, his slick shoes!

Then my favorite booby trap from One Eye Willie. The Bone Organ. Poor KG all that pressure to do it right and not kill everyone.

Then we have John Matuszak turn into Super Sloth and kicks his brothers asses! And then AR being a terrible mother. “I only dropped you one once. Well maybe twice.”

I always wondered how JC’s mother in the movie felt about him saying that JM was going to live with them now. Like just inviting some adult stranger into your home.

Of course, they save The Goon Docks!

Thanks for reading this episode of Reefer-Reelz-N-Reviews!

Toke on!😶‍🌫️
