“Goonies never say die,” and neither does The Becky and Joe Show. After a two week absence – some might call it a hiatus – we’re back with an episode devoted to the 25th Anniversary of the 1985 cult classic, “The Goonies” from Warner Bros. Studios. Becky and Joe traveled – mic in hand – to Astoria, Oregon on June 5 to join thousands of other fans in celebrating the locations, cast and storyline of the well-known movie.

Joe conducts another one of his trans-Atlantic interviews when he talks to Chris Miller, a friend and fellow journalist who recently arrived in Ukraine for Peace Corp training.
