Directed by Richard Donner and starring Sean Astin, Josh Brolin, Corey Feldman, Jeff Cohen and Ke Huy Quan, The Goonies is the 1985 adventure classic that sent an entire generation hunting for treasure. When developers threaten to bulldoze their neighbourhood, a group of young misfits discovers a pirate's map in the attic and sets off beneath the Oregon coast to find the fortune of One-Eyed Willy — with a family of criminals hot on their heels.

In this first From the Vault review, Fraser shares the Gremlins Easter egg hiding inside a single phone call, the real childhood Spielberg prank that made it into Chunk's confession, a Halloween costume admission he probably should have kept to himself, and the perfectly timed Josh Gates companion episode that hunts the real treasure behind the legend.
