    I finally watched "The Goonies" tonight to try to clear my brain of grief and in celebration of finishing my year long training. (I'll be honest, a recent episode of South Park inspired me to watch it!)

    I think it is the most 80s movie I have ever seen in my life -- and I've seen soooo many of them! It really has not aged well, but I understand that it is a "classic" in its own right.

    Spielberg must've had a hell of a budget for those sets!

    @alex @arisummerland
    Dont mind me staring. I've never seen this video either, but I adore Goonies, and I am very familiar with Cindy's Good enough song.

    Random relation... did you know, the tech kid's actor in Goonies grew up to be one of the lead roles in the movie called "Everything, Everywhere, All at Once" which I highly recommend watching (idk where, I bought myself the DVD).

    @arisummerland I could never sit through that one even like 15 years ago, since I skipped over it it as a kid in the 90s. What quintessential 80s movie HAS aged well in your opinion? Maybe I'll watch that instead lol. Unless I've already seen it.

    @dyani I don't really think any of them have aged well. They all have so many cringe elements to them and so much sexism and posit such severely gendered roles, along with the inherent racism, horrid jokes, name-calling and so many things that we just wouldn't do anymore... maybe Ferris Bueller's Day Off? But again, that's about a rich kid who gets away with a bunch of ridiculous stuff. I have a soft spot for The Breakfast Club as kind of a time capsule of the age, but it's got its problems as well.

    @arisummerland dang I agree and I was hoping you'd be able to think of one cuz I can't 😂 I just watched ferris bueller a few months back and it annoyed me for privileged white teen boy reasons lol.

    Maybe someone reading this will grace us with a good one
