Goonies the Musical! (Part 1)


Sorry I've been away, my nonexistent audience. I've been trying to pimp out a new group of videos I've created with my collaborator, Keith Doughty, based on The Goonies. We got mentions in /Film, Topless Robot, JoBlo.com, Cinematical, FilmDrunk - so that's awesome. Here's one of the videos, for Sloth's Song, below along with some background info:
In 2001, my college buddy, Keith Doughty, and I began working on a musical based on the seminal 80s film The Goonies. I had been raised on that film, quoting from pre-adolescence onward. I identified with the asthmatic protagonist who didn't fit in with others, especially his older sibling.
I was watching it for probably the thousandth time during one vacation, when the scene where Mikey is alone on the porch comes on and with it came inspiration.
