How has it taken us 58 episodes to finally re-view The Goonies? This 1985 children's classic is a seminal "nostalgia" film--an Indiana Jones-esque swashbuckler featuring a ragtag group of kids who set out to uncover a pirate's long lost hidden treasure. But, now that we're all older and wiser, does the film still hold up? Do you have to be a kid of the 80s to truly appreciate The Goonies's cinematic magic? Or, is it still able to capture the imagination of a bunch of cynical adults over 30 years later? Written by Chris Columbus based upon a story by Steven Spielberg and directed by Richard Donner, Mike, Ivan, and Dave determine if Goonies actually never say die.
