THE GOONIES
January 7, 2018  | By David Bianculli

Syfy, 8:30 p.m. ET

 

Stranger Things and its Season 2 sequel, Stranger Things 2, were and are major hits on Netflix, especially with the younger generation. That’s because, in part, that younger generation grew up entertained by 1985’s The Goonies, a movie that served as an obvious inspiration for the misfit Stranger Things kids and their adventures. To compare and contrast, watch Syfy’s showing tonight, and check out young Sean Astin, James Brolin, Corey Feldman and buddies as they search for, really, buried treasure.
