Answer to your Question: A Goonie is a resident of the Goon Docks which is a small neighborhood of Astoria, Oregon, USA. It's the poorest neighborhood of the city, filled with lower middle class blue collar families. In the movie, the entire area is in jeopardy of being bulldozed to make a high-end golf course for the upper class of the city.
This film and "Kindergarten Cop" were both shot on the Oregon coast in a town called Astoria. Maybe "Kindergarten Cop" would be a good watch. Or the original "Ghostbusters" from 1984 if you haven't seen it yet. Thanks from Seattle for a great watch you guys!
I love the reaction of the Dad every time something inappropriate comes on- cursing, mentions of drugs, etc. Kids in the 80's were rough and tumble for sure.
I think the filmmakers back then were just realistic about who kids are. Most of us learn about this stuff in grade school. Parents just try to shield us from it. A losing struggle I know.
We were also more respectful as well. Even if you cursed, you knew it was a no go in the presence of an adult lol. Or you knew when it was taken "more seriously" like in a fight or something more serious.
This is when it is appropriate and effective as well. We in the 80s were young watching these movies and these were most definitely considered family films to us back then.
The Sandlot could be fun to check out. That and The Goonies were the two "gang of friends" movies I loved growing up. It feels like a bridge between Stand by Me and The Goonies, with an adult narrator reflecting back on a childhood summer in the 60s but more light-hearted tone.
Such great films back in the day. I really miss awesome entertainment and selected stars that stood out from the rest! It made it more magical, excellent. Superb talent was displayed to the public and the public in general recognized and respected entertainers way more.
What’s great about this movie is it’s for kids and adults alike. I’ve watched it soooo many times I’ve lost count. I love how realistic the kids are all talking over each other and at the same time, that’s how it really is.
How nice it is to see a father and son doing these videos together and spending quality time together. What a well mannered, lovely young man. Gave you guys a new sub. Good luck with your channel!
I just realized that I sound like a very old lady with an afghan on my lap and a butterscotch candy in my pocket. Lol! I’m only an early middle aged lady but I think using the phrase “lovely young man” is something my Grammy would say.
I never realized that the eyepatch on the man in the shower was a joke in itself, until your son said "It's One-Eyed Willie." He made me laugh so hard, I rolled off the chair. Great reaction, guys.
OOh! The LOST BOYS 1987 - Teenage rock n' roll vampires. EXPLORERS 1985 - Kids build a spaceship, after recieving instructions on how to in their dreams. CONAN the BARBARIAN 1982 - Dude. Arnold in his prime... and the music..... truly a masterpiece.
Although this is a timeless classic, and kids of all ages can and will love it, kids will never get it the way we got it back in the 80's. We had the same technologies, cars, shops, clothes etc, so we could truly see ourselves in those kids. I love reaction channels like this where we can see a new generation discovering our beloved movies. I wish you 2 all the youtube success you can achieve.
This is part of the short lived 80s genre of kids going on perilous adventures,you’ve already seen Stand By Me. If you like this, you might like some others: Time bandits (1981), Flight of the navigator (1986), Young Sherlock Holmes (1985), Cloak and Dagger (1984), ET (1982), The Gate (1987), Space Camp (1986), Monster Squad (1987)
Great to see the younger generation discovering this film early, for us 80's kids this pretty much sums us up. The last of the latchkey generation always looking for adventure wherever we could find some. I remember being about 8 or 9 during the school summer holidays where my mum would kick me out of the house, give me a £1 if I needed food and tell me to get on my bike and have fun with my friends exploring and be back before dark. A great time to be young
You're a good dad, i'm loving these reactions . keep testing him with questions , it'll only make him smarter. I love how in awe you are with some of his answers, we can see the cogs turning...beautiful.
Thanks! if you haven't seen them i think you might like 1.flight of the navigator (1986) 2.harry and the Henderson's(1987) 3.the Wizard(1989) 4 Labyrinth (1986)
Thank you so much! We've never had a donation before. Thank you! We can't do Flight Of The Navigator as we have already seen it, but Labyrinth is a good one!
This was a great video. You seem to have a great relationship and it translates very well. I'm loving the intelligence and attention to detail. A++ reaction, boys! Cheers
I just want to say.. Your kid is extremely smart for his age! I really enjoy your guys reactions! Great bond it seems between you two as father and son.. Great to see!! Can't wait for more! :) just makes me smile!
Only found you guys the other night..Loved watching you both so much I Subbed, Your son is such a sweet smart boy and your a great cool dad. Loved the 80's my early teens was full of great movies for sure. But my most fav when it came out was ''Close encounters of the third kind'' have you guys seen it yet? It's fantastic.
Bravo father and son. I enjoyed your reaction to "Stand by Me" but i kinda thought you spoon fed your a little to much to make sure he understood. Your son is quite intelligent and astute, he followed the storyline on pace and with a young persons perspective. He figured out that they were going to find a treasure map. In all my adult years when first seeing Sloth i never pictured as a elf or troll, so wonderful to see through the eyes of a child. Please keep up the good work.
This was Steven Spielbergs Indiana Jones for children. I remember seeing it in the theater with a dear friend of mine that passed a couple years ago. Glad you enjoyed it
I grew up with this movie, and it was so important to my sisters & I. In 1997 when I was around 16, a stray cat showed up with one eye. Our friend kept wanting us to name her One-Eyed Willamina, but mom wouldn't let us name her at first since it meant that she was ours. Turned out she was pregnant, and the name Mamacat stuck. Who would have thought I'd end up with her for 16yrs, her son George, & her grandson Frodo. God I miss them.
If you watch a lot of 80s movies, you realize why it is that Gen Xers are so much more tough resilient, unafraid adventurous it’s because of all these movies that did not baby they showed us death. They showed us bravery adventure. They exposed us to sexual situations that we probably weren’t even sure we were ready for, and now you have these new kids being brought up with very safe movies that don’t show them anything challenging or scary and they stay children forever because they never ever learn to deal with scary situations or challenging storylines. They never shown another world and they own their own little sheltered world.
It's why I like this channel! My parents showed me these movies at a young age and I showed it to mine and I only hope they show it to theirs one day! Unfortunately I have daughters, and these type of movies make em say " I'll never have kids" lol
Yeah, I like the idea behind this channel too - watching great movie classics with your kids, exposing them to the nooks and crannies of the real world (which is not always peachy and rosy), still in a safe environment though, and discussing the deeper truths presented in those movies. This is a good way to raise a kid. Gradually introducing them into adulthood in a way that will allow the kids to know how to handle such situations on their own and think for themselves.
Mikey (Sean Astin) would go on to be Samwise in "The Lord of the Rings" Bran (Josh Brolin) would go on to be Thanos in the recent Marvel movies Data (Ke Huy Quan) was Short Round in "Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom" and recently won that oscar for "Everything, Everywhere, all at Once" And you're right about Mouth, that's Corey Feldman from "Stand by Me"
I've seen this film a hundred times and just now thought, "Why were they hiring a new housekeeper if they were about to move?". And the character was completely unnecessary too. 😄
Pretty sure your boy got treasure map in his mind because of the skull and crossbones at the start. Definitely could have a subliminal effect triggering the idea.
This is a great movie for you two ---> Three O'Clock High is a 1987 American teen comedy film directed by Phil Joanou. The script, about a meek high schooler who is forced into a fight with an unstable new transfer student, is based on the high school experiences of screenwriters Richard Christian Matheson and Thomas Szollosi. It was shot in Ogden, Utah.
On a rainy Sunday afternoon when this came out, I was four. My dad and I were home alone and he suprised me with an afternnoon movie. We ran into the theater as it was pouring rain. I even had on the same yellow raincoat as MIkey. We could hear the thunder from outside in as the movie played and when the it opened on the Skull, I was hooked. When we left the theater back in 1984, both my Dad and I were officially Goonies. And I've been looking for secret passageways ever since! Gotta watch TIME BANDITS my dudes!
“chunk” grew up to be a quite attractive acting agent ! He represents Ke Quan as an adult & got him into Everything, everywhere all at Once”! He won an Oscar 🎉
One of the best films, just so fun, at 41 I still love it as much as a kid, I get sentimental just watching this Astoria is a beautiful place another movie they filmed there is Kindergarten Cop with Arnold Swartzenegger you guys would like it I highly recommend
I live in Astoria, where the film is based and was filmed in parts. It's cool, they have pirate flags on flag poles and all sorts of stuff around town. I'm more of a Stand By Me and Karate Kid guy, but The Goonies is fun.
'Stand By Me' was based on the story "The Body" from the novella 'Different Seasons' by Stephen King. It was published in 1982, which predated the Goonies.
I can’t believe your son has never seen this, but as a father, I can’t believe at your age you have never seen this before the goonies is a go to classic
@@GenerationMediaReaction Oh really?? Sorry.. I am new to you guys.. and on your Goonies reaction.. I seen that suggestion from someone else.. and it's not on the channel.. So I asked for it too. Guess you must have watched it before the Channel.. or it got taken down.
@@GenerationMediaReaction Ok.. Can I make a VERY FUN suggestion for you and your son? Ok.. 2. First one "The Monster Squad" (1987) Goonies meets all your favorite monsters! Sooo good! 2nd "The Never Ending Story" (1984) Also amazing and very visually stunning!! Can you consider those?? You two would LOVE!!!!!!!!
Filmed here in Oregon! (Cannon Beach and Astoria) Oregonians have 'Goonie Pride'. 👍 The truck race scene in the beginning takes place right next to the pride of Cannon Beach: Haystack Rock. P.S. the houses belonging to 'the Walsh family', and Data's family are still there. There's a private drive that leads up to the houses.
What a cool reaction guys, thanks! It's good to see that this movie still holds up for the newer generation and for the Gen Xers who may have missed it back in its time. So when it comes to "Mouth," that's just Corey Feldman's - (the actor that also played "Teddy"'s) personality. He was pretty much this type of character in all of his films; basically playing the smart aleck role from since he was a small boy all the way until his early 20's. We loved it growing up, you could always count on learning a new way to say something "smart allecky" and you knew he'd make you laugh. Check him out in "The Burbs" starring Tom Hanks - it's a kid friendly, comedy, horror, thriller
One of the best movies about kids’ adventures! Great kooky characters-friends for life! 😊 P.S. I REALLY love water slides as well!! Great reaction to a true family classic! 😊
Steven Spielberg always wanted to direct a James Bond movie but it never panned out so far, so his own mini tribute was Data and his gadgets and even the quick 007 theme. Great reaction guys👍👍
I came here because I saw your Matrix reaction. Love the reaction to this classic movie too! :D Probably my favourite kids movie...I was a kid when I saw this for the first time...Amazing to see it again! "When you get older you get more stupid" You are not wrong little man x We try our best. Young people make their own mistakes...I know I did. If only I had a map to follow? lol x Boobie-traps etc...
Hi guys, I'm loving your film reactions ! I've been trying to think of other age appropriate Films that you might enjoy reacting to. How about ? The Poseidon Adventure (1972) Jaws 2 (1978) Return to OZ (1985) Beetlejuice (1988) Honey, I Shrunk the Kids (1989) Edward Scissorhands (1990) Jurassic Park (1993)
Actually.. I am not sure if you have seen them or not... but you should watch the BEST trilogy EVER MADE with your son... "Back To The Future" Trilogy... would be so much fun for you two!
I play the piano and I loved that part i would have knocked it out of the park on that scene at her age. It's amazing that I loved both of those movies and I never ever made that stand by me connection. One thing i also never noticed before was chunks vomit story is the same as Gordies' Y'all are becoming one of my favorite reactors
This was a movie I watched as a kid on cable television every time I came across it. I'm glad you both enjoyed it. Some other suggestions I have for future films are 1) Big Trouble in Little China (1986), 2) Berry Gordy's The Last Dragon (1985), 3) Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure (1989), 4) Freaked (1993) and Pee-Wee's Big Adventure (1985)
Great to see these classics getting appreciation from young and less young alike. If you’ve not seen it I’d recommend “Young Sherlock Holmes” (1985) Magic, adventure, danger this film has it all.
On of my favorite thoughts of this film is that steven Spielberg didnt let the kids see the ship until they did the slide and they recorded their first look of the ship and put that in the movie
Their reaction to the ship was genuine. None of them were allowed to see it before filming the scene. If you haven’t seen it, I highly recommend The Neverending Story.
I’m almost 30 and absolutely love this movie it was one we’d watch nearly every weekend until my siblings got board of it, It’s always a pleasure to see people’s enjoyment of this amazing movie. Also you mentioned Indiana jones Raiders of the lost ark well the Chinese kid Data is going to be a familiar face when you watch temple of doom as he’s Short round.
Congrats on 600 followers...more red dwarf would be awesome..and for a movie watch my bodyguard 1980 with chris makepeace and matt Dillon great movie.peace ✌️
This came out before Stand by Me. Ke Huy Quan (who won an Oscar last year) and played Data was Short Round in Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom. And the hat Robert Davi is wearing is one of the hats used in the Indiana Jones films.
Pretty cool seeing a kid who was probably my age when i saw this for the first time and his father whose closer to my age i think. THIS is nostalgia the movie, Its so deep in my soul i can hear a second of music or one scene and feel.
We need more fathers like you in this world.. the way you interact with your son is just awesome

Only fossils like myself know that "HEY YOU GUYS" is referencing an old children's workshop tv program called The Electric Company.
With the first live action Spider-Man and Morgan Freeman as Easy Reader
The Electric Company changed how a whole generation of people count to 12
Rita Moreno was the one who yelled it.
Loved that show.
me too
Many, many years later, Data won an Oscar !
And dont forget that he was Short round in Indiana Jones and the temple of doom
"Mom, I won an Oscar!"
This film and "Kindergarten Cop" were both shot on the Oregon coast in a town called Astoria. Maybe "Kindergarten Cop" would be a good watch. Or the original "Ghostbusters" from 1984 if you haven't seen it yet.
Thanks from Seattle for a great watch you guys!
“Short Circuit” was filmed/set in Astoria, too.
OMG, I’ve watched this film numerous times since the 80’s and thanks to you, I just got the joke of “one eyed Willie” 😂 😂😂
I love the reaction of the Dad every time something inappropriate comes on- cursing, mentions of drugs, etc. Kids in the 80's were rough and tumble for sure.

57 and i so watch it. I even named my dog Hercules - he was a little white pomeranian that thankfully lived 17 years. Miss him dearly

80s slang term for fisherman houses on the boat docks was goon docks...they all live by the goon docks, hence the name "goonies"
Chunk was so funny. When he cries after they take his ice cream away...🤣😆🤣
Mama Fratelli has the best one liners too 🤪
How nice it is to see a father and son doing these videos together and spending quality time together.
What a well mannered, lovely young man.

The younger of you two is very clever and understanding when it comes to logic. Figuring out stuff in the beginning
OOh!
The LOST BOYS 1987 - Teenage rock n' roll vampires.

I think Back to the Future would be a great series. I watched the first one when I was 10 or 11 and was hooked.
'It's HIM! I recognize him!' Data's too funny!
Is it only Brits who do the eyebrow raise and mini snigger whenever One-Eyed Willie is mentioned?
No. We put it in there because it was an inside joke here in the US that a one eyed Willy is a penis.
Great to see the younger generation discovering this film early, for us 80's kids this pretty much sums us up. The last of the latchkey generation always looking for adventure wherever we could find some.

Not sure if you've ever watched "Dutch", "The Three Amigos" or "Inner space" . Would recommend them all! Love your reaction videos!
Mikey’s Big Brother (Josh Brolin) in this movie is the guy who played Thanos in Avengers.
This was Steven Spielbergs Indiana Jones for children. I remember seeing it in the theater with a dear friend of mine that passed a couple years ago.

"IT'S ONE EYED WILLY" LMFAO... Ok.. your son is funny too! He gets it haha

Never wiser than when we were children...they say it is true
That’s not good news for me, considering how many unwise things I did when I was younger. I hope I’m at least a bit wiser now. 😄
One of my top 5 of all times. I remember watching this being the same age as the kids in the movie

Thank you so much!
Perfect movie to watch with your young son.
Goonies was filmed on the Oregon coast. My home state. Really enjoyed your reaction.
It's weird they talk about Gremlins when Corey Feldman (Mouth) stars in in it
Mikey (Sean Astin) would go on to be Samwise in "The Lord of the Rings"
Bran (Josh Brolin) would go on to be Thanos in the recent Marvel movies
Data (Ke Huy Quan) was Short Round in "Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom" and recently won that oscar for "Everything, Everywhere, all at Once"
And you're right about Mouth, that's Corey Feldman from "Stand by Me"
Josh Brolin also played the young version of K in Men in Black 3
Sean Astin also played in “Encinoman”, with Brendan Fraser and Pauly Shore.
I would love to see you two react to The Karate Kid (1984) and Back to the Future. Two of my favorites.
I've seen this film a hundred times and just now thought, "Why were they hiring a new housekeeper if they were about to move?". And the character was completely unnecessary too. 😄
Pretty sure your boy got treasure map in his mind because of the skull and crossbones at the start. Definitely could have a subliminal effect triggering the idea.
5:23 Samwise Gamgee threatening Thanos.
3:02 That is the actual hat of Indian Jones
I agree with everyone saying do the Sandlot at some point.
I watched this with each of my sons when they were your boy's age but 6 has been a while. Nice to watch thru a kid's eyes again. Good job, Pops!

The truck race scene in the beginning takes place right next to the pride of Cannon Beach: Haystack Rock.
P.S. the houses belonging to 'the Walsh family', and Data's family are still there. There's a private drive that leads up to the houses.
Mikey grows up to be Samwise from lord of the rings, and the older brother Brand grows up to be Thanos!! (the actors lol)
And Francis Fratelli grows up (?) to try to get reinserted back into the Matrix. 😄
They are talking about making a sequel, where the kids in this one is parents to a new group of Goonies.
Great reaction guys!
Keep up the good work 👍
Thank you 🙌
What a cool reaction guys, thanks! It's good to see that this movie still holds up for the newer generation and for the Gen Xers who may have missed it back in its time.
So when it comes to "Mouth," that's just Corey Feldman's - (the actor that also played "Teddy"'s) personality. He was pretty much this type of character in all of his films; basically playing the smart aleck role from since he was a small boy all the way until his early 20's. We loved it growing up, you could always count on learning a new way to say something "smart allecky" and you knew he'd make you laugh. Check him out in "The Burbs" starring Tom Hanks - it's a kid friendly, comedy, horror, thriller
Don't forget to show her The Time Bandits.
One of the best movies about kids’ adventures! Great kooky characters-friends for life! 😊 P.S. I REALLY love water slides as well!! Great reaction to a true family classic! 😊
Steven Spielberg always wanted to direct a James Bond movie but it never panned out so far, so his own mini tribute was Data and his gadgets and even the quick 007 theme. Great reaction guys👍👍
Haha two hours ago :)
I came here because I saw your Matrix reaction. Love the reaction to this classic movie too! :D
Probably my favourite kids movie...I was a kid when I saw this for the first time...Amazing to see it again!
"When you get older you get more stupid" You are not wrong little man x We try our best. Young people make their own mistakes...I know I did. If only I had a map to follow? lol x
Boobie-traps etc...
Awesome! Thank you!
Alright now, excellent choice!! My two most favorite movies back to back. Might like this channel!
Enjoy!
Hi guys, I'm loving your film reactions ! I've been trying to think of other age appropriate Films that you might enjoy reacting to.
How about ?
The Poseidon Adventure (1972)
Jaws 2 (1978)
Return to OZ (1985)
Beetlejuice (1988)
Honey, I Shrunk the Kids (1989)
Edward Scissorhands (1990)
Jurassic Park (1993)
ooo nice... Edward Scissorhands could be an unusual choice
Actually.. I am not sure if you have seen them or not... but you should watch the BEST trilogy EVER MADE with your son... "Back To The Future" Trilogy... would be so much fun for you two!
I play the piano and I loved that part i would have knocked it out of the park on that scene at her age.
It's amazing that I loved both of those movies and I never ever made that stand by me connection.
One thing i also never noticed before was chunks vomit story is the same as Gordies'
Y'all are becoming one of my favorite reactors
Fun fact: The first time the Goonies saw the pirate ship was the filming. Therefore these reactions were genuine.
Night at the Museum is another choice for ya to try. I love those movies.
Gremlins . The Neverending Story . Innerspace [you'll LOVE it!!!] . Rudy . Ghostbusters . My Girl . Dragonslayer . Groundhog Day .
This was a movie I watched as a kid on cable television every time I came across it. I'm glad you both enjoyed it.
Some other suggestions I have for future films are 1) Big Trouble in Little China (1986), 2) Berry Gordy's The Last Dragon (1985), 3) Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure (1989), 4) Freaked (1993) and Pee-Wee's Big Adventure (1985)
Great to see these classics getting appreciation from young and less young alike.
If you’ve not seen it I’d recommend “Young Sherlock Holmes” (1985)
Magic, adventure, danger this film has it all.
On of my favorite thoughts of this film is that steven Spielberg didnt let the kids see the ship until they did the slide and they recorded their first look of the ship and put that in the movie
Their reaction to the ship was genuine. None of them were allowed to see it before filming the scene.
If you haven’t seen it, I highly recommend The Neverending Story.
If you haven’t put The Princess Bride on your list, it’s time to watch that too.
Wow! First time for both! Awesome!!
Hope you enjoyed it!
@@GenerationMediaReaction absolutely 👍🏼
I’m almost 30 and absolutely love this movie it was one we’d watch nearly every weekend until my siblings got board of it, It’s always a pleasure to see people’s enjoyment of this amazing movie. Also you mentioned Indiana jones Raiders of the lost ark well the Chinese kid Data is going to be a familiar face when you watch temple of doom as he’s Short round.
Congrats on 600 followers...more red dwarf would be awesome..and for a movie watch my bodyguard 1980 with chris makepeace and matt Dillon great movie.peace ✌️
This came out before Stand by Me. Ke Huy Quan (who won an Oscar last year) and played Data was Short Round in Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom. And the hat Robert Davi is wearing is one of the hats used in the Indiana Jones films.
I remember seeing this movie in the theaters. It was awesome!
One day this kid is gonna grow up and realize that this whole channel idea was a way for his dad to bond with his son, and he's gonna be SO MAD! 😛
Lucas is another goodie. Coming of age, family friendly movie.
Stand By Me and The Goonies are two movies I most associate with each other.
Pretty cool seeing a kid who was probably my age when i saw this for the first time and his father whose closer to my age i think. THIS is nostalgia the movie, Its so deep in my soul i can hear a second of music or one scene and feel.
Thanks for watching. It’s good it still resonates with the next generation
