It’s time to settle an age-old dispute, to put an end to the squabbling and declare a winner in the ultimate clash of geek titans…no, we’re not talking about bloated blockbusters pitting dreary cape against dour haircut. This week, Cargill and I are heading back to the 80s and trading blows until we have a victor in the battle between The Goonies and The Monster Squad!
We will handle this election-style, breaking down the films analytically based on how they measure up across various vital criteria. From creators to cast, from production design to stakes, from monstrous henchmen-turned allies to monstrous henchmen-turned allies!
Who will arise victorious? What will be left of our shiny nostalgia when we’re through. Goonies never say die, and neither do we. So it’s time to nard up or shut up!
