The Goonies is the ultimate kid wish-fulfillment story, but the real crux of the movie doesn’t quite add up

The Goonies celebrated its 40th anniversary June 7 .

The movie is about a group of rich people forcing the Goonies and their families out of their houses to build a golf course.

The kids go on an adventure, find some “rich stuff,” and eventually pay off their parents’ debt.

The Goonies believe money will allow them to stay in their homes, but money isn’t necessarily a fix to being forced out of a rental property.

Mikey kept at least 10 or so high-end jewels, which can be worth millions each.

Maybe it’ll explain what the heck was happening in Astoria in 1985 that everyone suddenly went broke.
