Great podcast, I try to time the episodes with my commute to work. I realized that I was failing as a parent as my kids had never seen the Goonies so while watching with them, I couldn’t help but realize how closely the cast matched some of the characters.
Shawn is obviously Mikey the main character with delusions of grandeur, horribly failing at trying to keep the show on the rails while mainly focused on finding ways to attain new gear (treasure) to keep for himself.
Nick would be Brandon, Mikey’s older brother. Not for his athleticism but because he seems like the quiet older brother type who at times will drop in with some wisdom or just a desire to shit on both literally and figuratively other’s ideas or dumb moments all while hanging out with those that he feels are below him.
Aaron while it seemed would be close between Mouth because he never knows when to shut his and Chunk for his inability to do anything positive other than provide some comedic relief with the “truffle shuffle” it doesn’t really matter because they are just supporting characters that don’t bring any depth to the story.
Savage would clearly be Data both in stature and always wanting to provide some physical thing to make the group story better because they are both empty inside. Every now and then they will come up with a win and cling to it.
Jeremy, clearly, is sloth. A large overbearing presence who desires to be the center of attention but always comes through in the end even when someone like Aaron (Chunk) needs help. I can just hear him yelling “Hey you guys!” in my head.
All in all, highly recommended for anyone who wants to listen to a handful of friends talk and discuss firearm related material.
