Summary
On the 40th anniversary of The Goonies , your favorite attorney-hosts revisit this Gen X classic—and tear it apart with love and legal scrutiny. From zoning board corruption and sketchy foreclosure tactics to Corey Feldman’s fake Spanish translation and a real pirate ship, we explore the good, the bad, and the problematic. Why do some people adore this movie while others just… can’t? And was any of this remotely legal? 🎬 Plus: cast updates (hello Jeff Cohen, Esq.), latchkey kid chaos, and the case for why this 80s gem might be more stressful than you remember.
