When The Goonies was first released in 1985, the swashbuckling kids’ adventure became a resounding box office hit. Audiences were charmed by Mikey (Sean Astin), Data (Ke Huy Quan), Chunk (Jeff Cohen) and Mouth’s (Corey Feldman) rambunctious personalities as the self-styled Goonies, who were desperately trying to save their homes in Astoria, Oregon, from being sold off by a property development company.

Steven Spielberg is rumoured to have come up with the idea for The Goonies when he wondered what kids got up to on rainy days. Apparently the answer was daring exploits worthy of Indiana Jones involving a dastardly family of ex-cons and a hidden shipwreck heaving with jewels. It all combined to make a touching film about the power of friendship that was also rip-roaring good fun.

Forty years later, the franchise lives on with the announcement by Warner Bros earlier this year that a sequel is finally in the works. We look back with the cast and crew to find out how the film has endured as a cult classic.

Just a small comment about LW: we all see the impact of Lemm.ee going down, and it only hosts a few active communities.

9 out of the 10 most active communities on Lemmy are LW, and you can quickly see how prevalent they are for the platform: https://lemmyverse.net/communities?order=active_day

Adding yet another community to that instance adds to the impact of it potentially going down.

At first I’d probably try lemmy.zip, as it’s “A Lemmy community for everyone, with a focus towards tech, PCs, and gaming.” (in its own words). It seems fitting.

The instance is great.

Perfect, you are now a mod! You now have a small shield icon on the top right that allows you to see reports (none at the moment)

You can also edit the community description, pin and unpin posts. Let me know if you have any questions!
