Welcome everyone to the seventh episode of Movie Requests! This is the series where the Movie Reviewing Moron sets himself out on an adventure to find notable people who are willing to give suggestions on movies for him to watch and talk about! The series is being done in honor of 10 years of Scene Before. I thank everyone for tuning in for the past decade.

In case you missed it, Movie Requests has recently bumped its guest list from 10 to 15! Today, we are going to be taking a request from one of the original 10. Although on top of the original 10, please look forward to reviews from newly added guests like Melissa Barrera, Adam Conover, Joe Gatto, Tessa Thompson, and Elijah Wood!

In the last episode, I reviewed Chris Hardwick’s request, the 1985 film “Real Genius,” which I found to be a hilarious, well-timed comedy that holds up to this day. Today’s request was also released in 1985. Specifically, “The Goonies!” Much like “Real Genius,” I had not watched “The Goonies” in full. Though I was once at my grandparents’ house and they had it on the television as I was in the room doing something else. That is the closest I have gotten to actually watching the movie, unless you count me finishing a previous program on TV, and then flipping through channels once that film started until I found something else. It is not that I had no interest in “The Goonies” whatsoever, but I never had the complete motivation to turn it on, even after buying a used copy of the 4K Blu-ray a couple years back.

Today’s guest is none other than Sandi Harding! Locals and staff know her as the Blockbuster Mom, while many people also know her as the owner of the last Blockbuster Video still standing, located in Bend, Oregon. If there is a guest who is absolutely perfect for this series, it is the one who has seen thousands of movies go in and out of her store. So, I thank Harding for her participation and suggesting I should give “The Goonies” a watch.
