(Richard Donner, US 1985, 114 min.)
Josh Haidet (Selzncik '10) followed up his time in Rochester with an MLIS degree and is now working in the Mid-Mississippi Regional Library System as Executive Director. In a time when we all need a jolt of happiness at home, Josh recommends going back to the '80s for the fun-filled, family-oriented (but not family-friendly) Spielberg-produced THE GOONIES. Among other things, Jared and Josh talk about the close ties between libraries and archives, the fertile acting cauldron of THE GOONIES, what PG really meant in the 1980s, and a surprising performance by a sports star.
