00:00:24.719 --> 00:00:29.960
Welcome inside the treehouse. It is time to join me,
2
00:00:30.079 --> 00:00:34.719
Daniel Mallley and Trey Trenholm for some laughs, some fun.
3
00:00:36.640 --> 00:00:40.960
As we stare at an NFL sized stadium. Hang on,
4
00:00:41.399 --> 00:00:45.280
as we stare at an NFL stadium size asteroid hurtling
5
00:00:45.320 --> 00:00:49.679
itself towards our planet. That would be the obvious place
6
00:00:49.840 --> 00:00:54.640
for us to start today's show Tuesday, September seventeenth, twenty
7
00:00:54.679 --> 00:00:59.560
twenty four. But oh no, not us. Uh, We're gonna
8
00:00:59.600 --> 00:01:10.359
go even stupider. And that is carrying over from yesterday's show,
9
00:01:11.400 --> 00:01:16.400
where we were very excited to learn that the nineteen
10
00:01:16.519 --> 00:01:22.879
eighty five classic movie The Goonies was finally getting a
11
00:01:22.920 --> 00:01:27.120
long awaited sequel. And then I woke up this morning
12
00:01:27.640 --> 00:01:35.239
to the news that, oh, not so fast. This is
13
00:01:35.280 --> 00:01:37.599
like if it was college Game Day and Lee Corso,
14
00:01:38.079 --> 00:01:42.280
but you know, the mascot head on, except if the
15
00:01:42.280 --> 00:01:46.120
mascot head was slothed from Goonies. And then someone told
16
00:01:46.159 --> 00:01:47.840
him not so fast, and he's got to take it
17
00:01:47.920 --> 00:01:52.439
off and go What turns out it was a tabloid
18
00:01:52.519 --> 00:02:02.920
rumor there is no Goonies sequel. Oh I am devastated.
19
00:02:04.439 --> 00:02:05.319
It was just click bait.
20
00:02:06.000 --> 00:02:09.520
Yeah, pretty much. I'm actually not devastated. It makes sense
21
00:02:09.599 --> 00:02:13.919
because I the place where I saw it, I expected
22
00:02:13.960 --> 00:02:17.240
to see it in more places because that would be
23
00:02:17.240 --> 00:02:21.319
big news. I mean, that's a that's a gen X classic.
24
00:02:21.840 --> 00:02:25.439
Nineteen eighty five, a group of kids trying to save
25
00:02:25.520 --> 00:02:30.319
their homes from foreclosure strike out on a quest to
26
00:02:30.400 --> 00:02:34.400
find the treasure of One Eyed Willie off the Pacific
27
00:02:34.439 --> 00:02:42.199
northwest coast of Astoria, Oregon, with a slapstick family of
28
00:02:42.199 --> 00:02:47.680
the Fertelli's hot on their heels, and they're in search
29
00:02:47.719 --> 00:02:50.759
for pirate treasure to save their homes. And the eighties
30
00:02:50.800 --> 00:02:51.240
were great.
31
00:02:52.680 --> 00:02:57.400
I did wonder about how they were, how they were
32
00:02:57.439 --> 00:03:00.319
gonna do that. I mean, like Shawn asked, and is
33
00:03:02.680 --> 00:03:04.000
a little fluffy these days.
34
00:03:06.120 --> 00:03:10.560
Look, it's not like he's the only one. I think
35
00:03:10.599 --> 00:03:14.919
you could have a true representation of the Goonies as adults,
36
00:03:15.280 --> 00:03:18.360
because look, we all know we're in that same age
37
00:03:18.360 --> 00:03:21.199
group as the Goonies kids were when that movie came out, Right,
38
00:03:21.240 --> 00:03:22.879
I think I was a little younger, trade you might
39
00:03:22.919 --> 00:03:25.080
have been right in there, like you might have been
40
00:03:25.120 --> 00:03:30.280
the same age as the Goonies kids. And you know
41
00:03:30.400 --> 00:03:34.319
this as well as I do that as you get older,
42
00:03:34.759 --> 00:03:38.479
some things get softer, and not all of us look
43
00:03:38.599 --> 00:03:43.680
better in our middle age than we did in our adolescents.
44
00:03:43.800 --> 00:03:45.919
Some of us, some of us look a hell of
45
00:03:45.960 --> 00:03:49.039
a lot worse. So I think the Goonies, if it
46
00:03:49.120 --> 00:03:51.840
ever actually does do a reboot or a sequel and
47
00:03:51.879 --> 00:03:56.199
it involves the original cast, you got to show him
48
00:03:56.199 --> 00:03:56.719
as they are.
49
00:03:57.400 --> 00:03:59.360
Well, yeah, but I mean, what's the adventure going to
50
00:03:59.360 --> 00:04:02.560
be going going to Walgreens and not spraining something.
51
00:04:04.719 --> 00:04:08.879
That may play a role? Yeah, maybe data comes up
52
00:04:08.919 --> 00:04:14.479
with the midlife crisis, handy capable devices. Who knows their
53
00:04:14.759 --> 00:04:17.879
possibilities really are endless. And I'd also like to take
54
00:04:17.920 --> 00:04:20.279
this moment to point out that I've thought about the
55
00:04:20.279 --> 00:04:23.240
Goonies sequel way too much over the twenty four hours.
56
00:04:23.560 --> 00:04:26.040
That's the only reason I'm actually a little disappointed that
57
00:04:26.079 --> 00:04:29.439
it's not happening. I've already got a premise in mind
58
00:04:29.480 --> 00:04:33.800
of how they could do a Goonies sequel, and you
59
00:04:33.800 --> 00:04:36.360
want me to tell it to you? Yeah, Okay, here
60
00:04:36.399 --> 00:04:40.040
you go. The Goony sequel would start with basically the
61
00:04:40.120 --> 00:04:42.439
same way the first one started. So the first one
62
00:04:42.480 --> 00:04:46.439
started with the Fortelli's the one brother being busted out
63
00:04:46.439 --> 00:04:49.600
of jail by his family right by his brother and mama.
64
00:04:50.839 --> 00:04:55.920
The second one could start similarly with the brothers getting
65
00:04:56.000 --> 00:04:59.560
out of prison for the attempted murder of all those
66
00:04:59.560 --> 00:05:04.360
goonies roughly forty years later, which sounds about right from
67
00:05:04.399 --> 00:05:07.439
a sentencing standpoint, forty years for the attempted murder of
68
00:05:07.480 --> 00:05:11.040
a number of children in the Pacific Northwest. They get
69
00:05:11.040 --> 00:05:15.000
out on maybe some decent behavior, They get out on parole,
70
00:05:15.600 --> 00:05:19.160
and they want to exact revenge on the goonies. There's
71
00:05:19.519 --> 00:05:24.240
there's your setup, there's your inciting incident. Now, Hollywood, go
72
00:05:24.279 --> 00:05:26.240
do the rest. I've already given you. You know, I've
73
00:05:26.279 --> 00:05:28.319
already given you the first part to get it all started.
74
00:05:28.839 --> 00:05:31.759
I mean, and you could also. I mean one of
75
00:05:31.759 --> 00:05:34.439
their homes is in foreclosure. It's just not their parents anymore.
76
00:05:35.120 --> 00:05:39.639
Maybe maybe that's it, you know, maybe maybe it's Sean
77
00:05:39.680 --> 00:05:42.879
Aston's character. He's having some trouble with the home life.
78
00:05:44.519 --> 00:05:47.199
And you know, Josh Brolin, who played the older brother,
79
00:05:47.319 --> 00:05:49.720
is still in great shape. That actually fits in well
80
00:05:49.720 --> 00:05:52.519
with the original. And Shawn Aston's little fluffy er. You know,
81
00:05:52.560 --> 00:05:54.680
he's middle ages. As a lot of middle aged guys are,
82
00:05:54.720 --> 00:05:57.000
you know himself go a little bit and maybe he's
83
00:05:57.040 --> 00:05:59.240
on the brink of divorce and foreclosure and just really
84
00:05:59.279 --> 00:06:02.600
having a hard time, and Chunk comes back into his
85
00:06:02.639 --> 00:06:06.319
life being newly trim and slim, because that's what he
86
00:06:06.360 --> 00:06:08.000
looks like now, he's trim and slim, and he's like
87
00:06:08.000 --> 00:06:10.959
an entertainment lawyer. And maybe he comes back and tries
88
00:06:11.000 --> 00:06:14.480
to help Sean Aston's character save his home.
89
00:06:15.560 --> 00:06:17.680
And I can't blame Sean Aston. I mean, he got
90
00:06:17.680 --> 00:06:18.480
that hobbit money.
91
00:06:18.519 --> 00:06:22.759
So look, the last time he was in shape was
92
00:06:22.759 --> 00:06:27.079
when he carried Frodo up that mountain. He's fine to
93
00:06:27.120 --> 00:06:29.160
relax now he's earned it.
94
00:06:29.360 --> 00:06:31.000
He's carrying the bags of money down.
95
00:06:31.759 --> 00:06:35.560
Exactly, you carry Elijah, what up sax of cash down?
96
00:06:35.680 --> 00:06:38.319
You are good to go. You were golden and if
97
00:06:38.439 --> 00:06:40.120
you can just do what you want when you want,
98
00:06:40.199 --> 00:06:42.040
that's why he was able to have that role in
99
00:06:42.160 --> 00:06:46.399
The Stranger Things, and that was perfect, not a whole
100
00:06:46.439 --> 00:06:49.480
lot of commitment to it, very impactful and still has
101
00:06:49.519 --> 00:06:54.439
his bags of cash from Tolkien. But it was kind
102
00:06:54.439 --> 00:06:57.199
of a sad thing when I found out that the
103
00:06:57.360 --> 00:07:03.720
Gooni sequel was in fact not el. The some of
104
00:07:03.759 --> 00:07:06.920
the original Goonies cast shut down the rumor of the sequel,
105
00:07:07.240 --> 00:07:10.800
although Sean Aston said it's our time, come on Stephen
106
00:07:10.879 --> 00:07:15.879
as in Steven Spielberg. My favorite, though, was from Corey Feldman,
107
00:07:15.959 --> 00:07:19.680
who said everyone is asking. I can officially tell you one. No,
108
00:07:19.839 --> 00:07:22.240
I have no info that a sequel is in the works.
109
00:07:24.040 --> 00:07:25.879
I wonder maybe a sequel is in the works. They
110
00:07:25.920 --> 00:07:27.720
just didn't want to tell Corey Feldman about it.
111
00:07:28.480 --> 00:07:33.480
Yeah, as he says that as he's about to go
112
00:07:33.519 --> 00:07:34.720
perform at some mall and.
113
00:07:36.519 --> 00:07:38.920
Tokyo as a Michael Jackson impersonator.
114
00:07:39.000 --> 00:07:39.199
Yeah.
115
00:07:40.079 --> 00:07:44.240
Yeah. Uh. They even went to Martha Plimpton. If you
116
00:07:44.279 --> 00:07:47.079
remember that she was a part of the Goonies. She
117
00:07:47.199 --> 00:07:51.680
was Andy's friend, the one of the glasses Steph. She said, people,
118
00:07:51.759 --> 00:07:54.600
there is no Goonies two script. There was no one attached.
119
00:07:54.920 --> 00:07:57.839
Spielberg is not directing. It's not real. What is real
120
00:07:57.959 --> 00:08:01.560
is check your registration and go vote. Okay. Sean Aston, though,
121
00:08:01.600 --> 00:08:05.480
seems to be pushing for it. He posted a fake
122
00:08:05.639 --> 00:08:08.399
poster and said in the caption it's our time, come
123
00:08:08.439 --> 00:08:11.600
on Stevensielberg. So it goes back to the first thing
124
00:08:11.600 --> 00:08:13.959
that I mentioned, But it sounds like Sean Aston with
125
00:08:14.000 --> 00:08:16.120
his bags of cash is happy to jump back into
126
00:08:16.120 --> 00:08:20.680
the Goonies franchise and with the resurgence of I know
127
00:08:20.720 --> 00:08:23.839
I'm saying his name wrong, and I apologize. The actor
128
00:08:23.879 --> 00:08:29.720
that plays Data Kihi Kwan coming off of a Marvel
129
00:08:29.839 --> 00:08:35.200
project and everything everywhere, all of the once success. I mean,
130
00:08:35.279 --> 00:08:37.519
he's a hot commodity. So yeah, it sounds like it
131
00:08:37.600 --> 00:08:39.440
is their time. If there ever was going to be
132
00:08:39.519 --> 00:08:41.360
a time for the Goonies sequel, this would be it.
133
00:08:41.519 --> 00:08:44.159
Yeah. That was part of his like Oscar acceptance speech,
134
00:08:44.360 --> 00:08:46.919
like Goonies Forever, or maybe the conference after.
135
00:08:47.200 --> 00:08:49.039
Honestly, I just got a chill hearing that. That made
136
00:08:49.080 --> 00:08:50.879
me really happy. It's like Dada got an Oscar. That's
137
00:08:50.919 --> 00:08:51.600
freaking awesome.
138
00:08:52.679 --> 00:08:55.639
Yeah, but you wonder, Sorry, there have been talks of
139
00:08:56.039 --> 00:08:59.399
redoing and sequels to a lot of eighties movies, and
140
00:09:00.159 --> 00:09:03.879
sometimes I think, I mean, obviously Top Gun worked out fantastic,
141
00:09:04.039 --> 00:09:06.879
but some of them, you wonder if they just yea,
142
00:09:08.159 --> 00:09:11.639
let them rest as the treasures they are.
143
00:09:12.120 --> 00:09:14.360
If I could, if I could quote the title of
144
00:09:14.399 --> 00:09:18.440
another nineteen eighty five film, maybe they're just better off dead.
145
00:09:18.679 --> 00:09:21.320
Yeah, that's.
146
00:09:22.279 --> 00:09:24.720
By the way, I've still got the top movies from
147
00:09:24.799 --> 00:09:29.080
nineteen eighty five, Up and Better Off Dead number eighty
148
00:09:29.159 --> 00:09:34.399
nine on the list. Nineteen eighty five really was a
149
00:09:34.519 --> 00:09:38.559
freakishly good year for films. Yeah So, in case anyone
150
00:09:38.559 --> 00:09:41.039

00:10:36.840 --> 00:10:39.360
remember Volunteers. I think that was if I remember correct,
166
00:10:39.360 --> 00:10:43.240
that was also John Candy and Tom Hanks. Ye care
167
00:10:43.279 --> 00:10:45.919
Bears movie A Nightmare on Elm Street. I think that
168
00:10:46.000 --> 00:10:47.799
was actually left over from the previous year, but that
169
00:10:47.879 --> 00:10:52.159
still kind of counts. Invasion USA with Chuck Dorris. Hell, yeah,
170
00:10:53.279 --> 00:10:58.720
Out of Africa, The Gods Must Be Crazy starman Remo Williams,
171
00:10:58.799 --> 00:11:01.480
The Adventure Begins. I can't believe I actually watched that movie,
172
00:11:01.519 --> 00:11:03.919
and not only did we watch it, but my dad
173
00:11:04.000 --> 00:11:06.200
went to the trouble to dub it so I was
174
00:11:06.240 --> 00:11:08.120
able to go back and watch it again later. Man,
175
00:11:08.159 --> 00:11:10.279
that was actually a terrible movie. But whatever, it's on
176
00:11:10.279 --> 00:11:15.120
the list.
177
00:11:12.960 --> 00:11:16.559
It's talking about. There's maybe you mentioned and when you
178
00:11:16.600 --> 00:11:18.720
said it, I thought of another movie, and it's a
179
00:11:18.720 --> 00:11:22.200
movie that you just simply could not and should not
180
00:11:22.279 --> 00:11:26.519
be made. Uh, you're talking about Brewster's Millions. Oh yeah,
181
00:11:26.519 --> 00:11:30.639
if you remember another Richard Pryor movie called The Toy.
182
00:11:31.440 --> 00:11:36.440
Oh, let me say, if I remember this correctly, the
183
00:11:36.440 --> 00:11:41.879
plot of The Toy starring Richard Pryor, Jackie Gleason and
184
00:11:42.000 --> 00:11:46.919
Jackie Gleason wasn't wasn't it like a rich man got
185
00:11:46.960 --> 00:11:49.320
a black man as a toy for his child.
186
00:11:49.799 --> 00:11:50.120
Yes.
187
00:11:54.080 --> 00:11:56.279
Not only could that movie not be made today, I
188
00:11:56.320 --> 00:11:59.639
think it was pretty risky to make it in the eighties.
189
00:12:03.559 --> 00:12:04.360
Yeah, I thought about that.
190
00:12:04.360 --> 00:12:08.320
I was like, ooh, I mean, look at it this way.
191
00:12:08.360 --> 00:12:12.320
If anyone can play that role, it would be Richard Pryor.
192
00:12:12.399 --> 00:12:14.480
If they were to do that movie today, the obvious
193
00:12:14.519 --> 00:12:17.799
casting would be Kevin Hart because he's already toy sized.
194
00:12:20.240 --> 00:12:23.200
Just a couple more, Return to Oz came out in
195
00:12:23.279 --> 00:12:26.440
nineteen eighty five, Missing in Action to the beginning another
196
00:12:26.559 --> 00:12:32.879
Chuck Norris hit number eighty nine, Better Off Dead ninety
197
00:12:32.919 --> 00:12:36.159
two Explorers Watch that. That was a kid's movie, Johnny
198
00:12:36.240 --> 00:12:43.480
Dangerously with Michael Keaton. Once Bitten, Once Bitten, Jim Carrey's
199
00:12:43.480 --> 00:12:50.120
first film. He gets bitten by a female vampire the
200
00:12:50.200 --> 00:12:51.000
color purple.
201
00:12:52.000 --> 00:12:53.240
Oh, that had to have been a leftover.
202
00:12:53.559 --> 00:12:55.480
I think a number of these are. But here's another
203
00:12:55.519 --> 00:12:58.360
one that was also one oh W eight breaking two
204
00:12:58.559 --> 00:13:06.200
electric boogloo hell yeah. And one more that is near
205
00:13:06.200 --> 00:13:08.480
and dear to my heart and it's absolutely terrible, And
206
00:13:08.519 --> 00:13:10.360
the fact that it even made the top one hundred
207
00:13:10.440 --> 00:13:16.720
and nineteen eighty five is shocking to me. American Ninja.
208
00:13:17.879 --> 00:13:19.639
You don't think that one was a holdover from eighty four?
209
00:13:20.399 --> 00:13:24.759
That I don't. I don't think it was the No,
210
00:13:24.879 --> 00:13:31.519
I don't. Here's at that time in nineteen eighty five,
211
00:13:31.600 --> 00:13:34.360
I was in Bartlesville, Oklahoma, forty miles north of Tulsa.
212
00:13:35.200 --> 00:13:39.080
I don't ever remember seeing American Ninja at either of
213
00:13:39.120 --> 00:13:42.159
the two movie theaters we had.
214
00:13:43.200 --> 00:13:45.240
Yeah, I doubt that one made it the small town,
215
00:13:45.960 --> 00:13:51.080
I mean, that was your that was your dollar cinema tray.
216
00:13:51.200 --> 00:13:53.399
All of our cinemas were dollars cinemas in my town.
217
00:13:55.879 --> 00:13:57.240
But you're right. This goes back to what we were
218
00:13:57.240 --> 00:13:59.200
saying yesterday that a lot of these movies that are
219
00:13:59.240 --> 00:14:01.679
still in the top one for nineteen eighty five were
220
00:14:01.720 --> 00:14:05.200
also nineteen eighty four holdovers because you had so many
221
00:14:05.240 --> 00:14:08.840
movies that stayed in the theater for so long.
222
00:14:09.240 --> 00:14:12.559
And it's so hard for people, younger people to understand
223
00:14:12.720 --> 00:14:17.159
that in the mid eighties, cable television wasn't even really
224
00:14:17.240 --> 00:14:22.720
a thing. You had three channels, and you wanted, like
225
00:14:22.759 --> 00:14:25.000
everyone went to the movies. That's what you did. I mean,
226
00:14:25.159 --> 00:14:29.759
that's that was your source of entertainment.
227
00:14:30.039 --> 00:14:36.600
Yeah, because we sure as hell weren't reading. And this
228
00:14:36.639 --> 00:14:39.080
actually was was posted a comment on one of our
229
00:14:40.080 --> 00:14:42.679
one of the comments on our show yesterday on our
230
00:14:42.720 --> 00:14:46.360
Patreon channel from James. He's in Longview, and he says
231
00:14:46.360 --> 00:14:49.279
that the AMC movie theater that he runs it has
232
00:14:49.360 --> 00:14:52.159
ten screens. And this goes to what we were saying
233
00:14:52.200 --> 00:14:55.159
yesterday and just again today about how long movies were
234
00:14:55.159 --> 00:14:58.879
in the theaters back in the eighties versus today. It's
235
00:14:58.919 --> 00:15:01.360
like you blink, the movie's gone out of the theater
236
00:15:01.519 --> 00:15:06.080
by today's standards. He actually says something has to be astronomically,
237
00:15:06.799 --> 00:15:10.279
something has to do astronomical numbers for me to have
238
00:15:10.399 --> 00:15:12.399
it more than two to three weeks in my theater.
239
00:15:12.679 --> 00:15:15.919
That's crazy.
240
00:15:16.080 --> 00:15:18.159
I mean, it makes sense when you think about it.
241
00:15:18.159 --> 00:15:24.360
I mean it's it's we're approaching forty years of our
242
00:15:26.720 --> 00:15:28.279
attention spans shrinking.
243
00:15:30.600 --> 00:15:33.759
Well, and also I'm sure you know there it's part
