Conan Was Too Old For “The Goonies” | Conan O'Brien Needs A Friend

Sona this has got to be a big day for. you it is because and we rarely do this. we rarely talk about the guest but this. guest uh is uh one of the stars of a. movie which has become over time the. Citizen Cane of your generation it. defined a generation don't scream we're. all in the same room Jesus Christ bla. not here I'm compensating yeah when when. you say like the citizen.

I I don't know you don't even know what. I'm talking about Citizen Kane was a. movie with Orson Wells I know what. you're talking about okay that is very. insulting I know I don't think you know. about things yeah I think he said it to. insult you yeah oh I meant to insult I. know what Citizen Cane is okay yeah but. um it's you know what it's just such a. Beloved movie it surprised me I'm just. going to tell you the movie it skipped. me because I was a little too old uh and. when I say a little too old way too old. yeah the movie came out I believe in.

1985 or ' 86 and I just I think 85 and. I'm just getting my career started out. in LA and I'm with my writing partner. Greg Daniels and I remember the two of. us what's that name dropper yes yes well. he's a big deal I'm very happy for his. success and someday I'll have some too. but the point is um uh Greg and I. remembered this movie came out The. Goonies which was a big deal so we went. to Westwood and we watched it and it was. like a movie for for kids.

and Greg and I are sitting and like okay. well I guess that's aov forids I. remember being very annoyed that all the. kids over each other I know also and I'm. sorry they also the kids call Gold Rich. stuff and kids know the word gold they. just do your criticisms of this movie. are. so tinyy never known a movie to have. more of a dividing line on whether you. love it or hate it and it's all due to. age yes it it's all age just it so I.

didn't get it I didn't get it I'll be. honest with you I didn't get it so Flash. Forward all these years and you start. working with me and and then at one. point I remember we're working at Warner. Brothers Studio together and someone. mentioned oh Goonies was shot in this. studio where we make our TBS show yeah. and um you were like a. nun that had seen the holy tomb of. Christ you exploded.

I mean uh bats flew out of you uh there. was an explosion light came down um I. heard I heard Armenian songs that. haven't been heard for thousands of. years and you went nuts and you were. like where's the spot where's the spot. where they stood do you think that he. stood here do you think and I didn't. understand and so our guest today Josh. Brolin uh of course one of the stars of. that film yeah and it's it's amazing I.

mean it's not a goon from the beginning. no he becomes explain because I don't. know the movie I I lost track I know. they yeah he's Mikey's brother who is. the main kid in it he's play by Sean. Aston seon and yeah he's he's his. brother and then coonies yeah he's like. The Jock are you nervous today um I am. kind of I also just because he's also. Thanos yeah what do you rever more do. you rever him for his Goonies role or. for Thanos.

Goonies okay oh what's your problem he's. Thanos what's what Thanos that's that's. who he's become and sakario and oh. sakario sakario but you have a movie. that you think about from your childhood. that you watch it and you're like yes. this always makes me happy that's The. Goonies for me you have to have. something that like some emotion for. something yeah. Heidi yeah she has super strength and.

she right thinking of pppy long py. longing oh let's do it again oh no. oh it's too good I got the wrong. one oh man I was thinking Pippy long. stalking I remembered seeing an ad there. was a terrible Pippy long stalking movie. that came out like in the mid 70s I'm. staying at my grandparents house take it. easy okay I'm staying at my I mean it. was made in where was it made Sweden. okay and this is getting dicey and all I. remember is my grandparents had this. crappy little black and white TV that.

got no reception and we're down in. mamaka Rhode Island staying at my. grandparents little cottage and my. brothers and I are crowded around and. they kept playing over and over again. this ad for come see the new movie pppy. long stalking and it looked weird and. you could tell the voices were dubbed. badly right yeah they're very badly and. there's a part where this awkward. looking girl with pigtails who looked a. lot like me at the time like lifts a. horse over her head old man what's that. old man is the name of the horse oh. what is your problem.

you're not helping the conversational. flow any or your coolness do I'm not. after coolness I'm after veracity yeah. so anyway after hard facts. pippy pippy like any good journalist. when it pippy lifts the horse over her. head okay and it the the special effect. is terrible it's not it's not it's. pretty good for this and anyway she. lifts it over her head and then they cut. they cut to a Swedish boy who's got like. red cheeks and like some chocolate on. his mouth and I'll never forget.

it's so badly dubbed and he goes peipi. are you. crazy see that's quality and that burned. into my brain peepi are you. crazy so that whole summer of. 1974 on Crandle Avenue in Miss kwam cut. Rhode Island I would walk around looking. not unlike pippy and going peepi are you. crazy until I was beaten by my brothers. yeah and rightfully so beaten you God.

that what a terrible looking movie. anyway we got off on we got off track. but it was The Goonies of its day that. was The Goonies before The Goonies you. think so no I don't I'm just being a. dick I was a big Goonies fan as well and. I'll give you one guess to which my. favorite goon was uh the one that had. all the secret inventions yes yeah. exactly so much so that when I was in. junior high I took a little like travel. uh soap dish that could open and closed. and made a belt buckle out of it and put. a little motor with a clock Cog in it oh. my God pop out like a saw blade and.

so I have one question and I just how. much I get no I just need a number no. mine is how many times were you stabbed. in school well none because I was. defended by a so you were you made a so. you data he's the guy that has like. these weird devices that come out of his. R play the James Bond music when he. enters the movie I mean come on and he's. played by short I was to say before or.

after it's after is so you already were. like yeah Jones and then you saw him in. The Goonies you're like oh my God and. then I went to Junior High popped open. my plastic soap. dish oh my God I tell you what though. I'm not even joking normally I would. self-deprecate I was of the Walk. that day let me tell you something every. kid was lining up to see that soap dish. saw blade and I walked out of there with. my head held. high I was of the.

walk and I love that that hasn't been. said I'm getting it I'm getting it right. now oh here it is hasn't been said since. 1934.
