Zoomin' with the Goonies

"Hey You Guys!!!!"

One of the movies I watched the most as a kid was Goonies. And recently, actor Josh Gad jumped on Zoom and tried to get in touch with all of Goonies cast members. Those are that are still living anyway.

It was hilarious and brought back a lot of memories.

Goonies had a $19 million budget but Director Richard Donner and Producer Steven Spielberg turned into a cult classic that grossed $124 million worldwide.

Gad, who is most known for being the voice of Olaf in Disney's Frozen, started the Zoom conversation with Sean Astin, probably the biggest star from the 1985 Adventure hit.

Astin starts out by saying he will only cooperate with Gad if he gives him an Olaf impression. Then the rest of the characters start joining the conversation.

The crew told stories of what it was like to be on set and what they are up to now.

Astin was 14 years old when he played "Mikey" and is now 48. He's also known for playing the lead role in Rudy and supporting roles in the Lord of the Rings trilogy and Encino Man.

But outside of Astin, Corey Feldman and Joe Pantoliano, the rest of the cast really didn't do all that much.

Josh Brolin is pretty famous. But his other top films other than playing "Brand" in Goonies were No Country of Old Men and Hollow Man. He's not that big of a star I don't think.

Feldman played "Mouth" in the Goonies. He also was part of other cult classics such as Gremlins, Stand by Me and the Lost Boys. Feldman was 13 during the summer of 1985 when the movie debuted.

Kerri Green, who played "Andy" was part of some bigger movies back in the day. She also played minor roles in Lucas and Summer Rental but never really hit it big.

Green's best friend in the Goonies movie was Martha Plimpton, who played the role of "Stef." She was part of some big Broadway type productions but hasn't done much since the Goonies from a film standpoint. Like Gad, she also is a voice in Frozen 2.

The most funny Goonie was definitely "Chunk." He was played by Jeff Cohen, who got out of acting completely and is now an attorney. He was 9 years old when the movie debuted and is the youngest cast member now at age 45.

Remember "Data," the Goonie who had all those inventions? Well, Jonathan Ke Huy Quan hasn't done much since the Goonies. He talked in the interview about how hard it was being an actor of Asian decent. He said he had some opportunities coming but he's only known for Goonies and playing a minor role in Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom.

Sometimes, Hollywood gives us movies where a 25-year-old actor is playing the part of a 15-year-old. That's not the case with the Goonies. Other than Cohen at 9 years old, the rest of the cast is as old as they are portrayed in the movie.

Plimpton appeared to be the same age as Green's character but wasn't. Green was 18 when the movie came out and Plimpton was 14. She was around the same age as Astin, Feldman and Huy Quan. Brolin was Astin's older brother in the movie and three years older in real life.

The only other age difference was Mikey and Brand's parents. Dad, played by Keith Walker, was 49 and Mom, played by Mary Ellen Trainor was 32. Both of them died of cancer. So did "Rosalita" and mother Fratelli, who was played by Anne Ramsey.

Pantoliano was one of the Fratelli brothers along with Robert Davi. They were both 24 when the film came out and are 68 today. They were also part of the Zoom call. John Matuszak, who played "Sloth" was not as he also died.

Matuszak played 9 years in the NFL and died of an accidental overdose.

Tell me if I am wrong. Pantoliano may have the deepest film resume of anyone in this cast. He was rarely a lead actor but LaBamba and The Fugitive were both hits. Astin is probably the biggest star, but Pantoliano has the deeper resume.

The Zoom call also had Spielberg and Donner in it. They were great as always.

And the best news I took from the 25 minute or so interview was that Spielberg and Donner continue to work today on trying to do a Goonies 2. Donner said in 2014 that a Goonies 2 was "in the works."

There have been reports on this for years. Feldman went as far once as saying it wasn't going to ever happen.

I hope that is wrong. I would be all for a sequel. You might have to find all new kids but the original cast members could be parents or something. It would be fun.
