It\u2019s hard to tell what\u2019s real and what isn\u2019t these days, and what\u2019s declared to be real actually remaining real after a little bit of time, but for better or worse, at the time I\u2019m writing this, it sounds like a 40-years later The Goonies<\/em> sequel is really going to be happening<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n My knee-jerk reaction is basically oh god please no whyyyyyy<\/em> because I really wish Hollywood could leave things that are dead and resting, dead and resting<\/a>, but seeing as how it seems like allowing The Goonies to have that privilege is coming off the table, might as well allow the ball to continue to roll and brog about it, since it\u2019s evident that this has been on my mind over the last few days while I\u2019ve been waiting for the smoke to clear on whether it\u2019s legit or not, as well as trying to carve time out to write.<\/span><\/p>\n Needless to say, I\u2019m not that thrilled with one of my legitimate all-time favorite stories of my childhood being drug out of the 80s just to capitalize on the low-hanging fruit of nostalgia, but what can I say, money is what makes the world go round.\u00a0 And as Cobra Kai<\/em> has proven, not every instance of a nostalgia-driven encore is entirely turrible, and although the likelihood isn\u2019t high, I can only hope for the best as far as it concerns The Goonies.<\/span><\/p>\n Frankly, if this was ever going to happen, I feel like they\u2019re 10-15 years too late, especially considering the fact that the intention seemed to always have been to bring back as much of the original cast as possible.\u00a0 All of the OG cast at this point are all too fucking old to be parents to the next generation of Goonies, and they\u2019re at this weird transitional age where they\u2019re too old to be parents to kids but rather teens that are probably older than the original crew, but also a little too young to convincingly be grandparents to the next generation.<\/span><\/p>\n But push comes to shove, I\u2019m going to have to assume that the children\u2019s cast of this supposed sequel are probably all going to be the grandchildren of the original Goonies; Josh Brolin is 56 and Sean Astin is 53, and neither are going to convince anyone that they\u2019re any younger than that, so as much as television and film likes to try to convince us that 30 year olds can portray teenagers with attitude<\/a>, I think it\u2019s probably best to age them up and make them grandparents instead.<\/span><\/p>\n Which would probably help to make more plausible the inevitable casting of minorities in the next generation of Goonies, because in the DEI world we live in now, it goes without saying that the next generation is guaranteed to not be a white boys + Data group, and is definitely going to be a little more colorfully diverse by the time this film comes supposedly drops in 2026 or so.<\/span><\/p>\n That being said, let\u2019s hypothesize the next generation of The Goonies, apples to apples, because I think it\u2019s obvious that it\u2019s got to be the descendants of the original crew that will comprise the kids\u2019 cast.<\/span><\/p>\n As for the actual plot of this film, who really knows what it\u2019s going to be about.\u00a0 If Chris Columbus and Richard Donner couldn\u2019t figure something out throughout the last 30 years of Donner\u2019s life, I don\u2019t have much faith that anyone else is going to have any better ideas, but it really doesn\u2019t matter.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n If this is going to work, it\u2019s going to have to take place in Astoria, it\u2019s going to have to involve the remains of One Eyed Willy\u2019s treasure, because everyone knows at the end of the OG, the Inferno sails away into the Pacific Northwest, so I\u2019m going to guess that there\u2019s still caches of treasures in the remains of the caves, or perhaps additional ships that The New Goonies can go search for, but as long as the spirit of the film doesn\u2019t stray too far from the original, it stands to believe that this might be able to be as popular with the next generation of kids as the original was to my own childhood.<\/span><\/p>\n What kind of irks me though is that I legitimately had plans on saying fuck it, and going to Astoria for my next birthday, by myself, because it\u2019s something that I\u2019ve always wanted to do in my life, and I\u2019m no longer going to expect or even attempt to bring anyone along for the ride, because of people I know, nobody really wants to do this except for me.\u00a0 Hopefully news of moar Goonies in the future doesn\u2019t re-ignite other OG fans to want to make the same pilgrimage, and ruin my original fandom spurred on by news of a supposed sequel in the works.\u00a0 Or worse off, by the time I get there, filming has started and I get monstrously cockblocked at seeing all of the original stuff that I had always wanted to see and walk in my own nostalgic life.<\/span><\/p>\n Only time will tell, and if any of this shit impacts my future travels, it\u2019s only a question of just how pissed and disappointed it\u2019ll make me.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" It\u2019s hard to tell what\u2019s real and what isn\u2019t these days, and what\u2019s declared to be real actually remaining real after a little bit of time, but for better or worse, at the time I\u2019m writing this, it sounds like a 40-years later The Goonies sequel is really going to be happening.
