The whole thing goes down on Thursday, 29 October, at 7:30 p.m. at the H-E-B Performance Hall, with Corey Feldman, who played Mouth, and Kerri Green, who played Andy, in attendance. The screening is followed by a Q&A where the two of them share behind-the-scenes stories and personal anecdotes and take questions from the audience. It's the kind of night that's built for anyone who grew up on the movie, whether you're still holding onto that 1980s nostalgia or introducing the film to a new generation.
On the money side, tickets are $58 all-in, which covers fees and taxes. If you want to go the extra mile, there's a post-show VIP meet-and-greet add-on for $125 that gets you a brief meeting and a professional photo, though autographs aren't included. A few ground rules are worth knowing before you buy: there's an eight-ticket limit per order, so if you're bringing a group larger than that, you'll need to email the box office to arrange it, and everyone, regardless of age, needs a ticket to get in. Dave & Buster's Rivercenter is also running free ticket giveaways all month long, with a grand prize VIP package that bundles a meet-and-greet with free parking, dinner and unlimited game play for two.
For anyone who needs a refresher on what they're signing up for, The Goonies is the 1985 treasure-hunting adventure directed by Richard Donner. It follows a group of misfits who stumble upon an old map and set off to find the legendary hoard of the pirate One-Eyed Willy, a journey packed with booby traps and the kind of characters you don't forget. The film runs 114 minutes, so the whole evening should wrap up in a reasonable window. The cast that night is only a slice of the original bunch — Sean Astin, Josh Brolin, Jeff Cohen, Robert Davi, John Matuszak, Joe Pantoliano, Martha Plimpton, Ke Huy Quan and Anne Ramsey all round out the ensemble.
As for the guests, Corey Feldman, born Corey Scott Feldman on 16 July 1971, has been acting since he was three years old, starting with a McDonald's commercial long before he became Mouth Devereaux. Kerri Green, born 14 January 1967 in Fort Lee, New Jersey, graduated from Pascack Hills High School and went on to Vassar College before her role as Andy Carmichael; she later co-wrote and directed the film Bellyfruit in 1999. It's a nice pairing of two people who have lived with the movie for four decades, and they're the ones who make this more than just another anniversary screening. If you've been waiting for an excuse to revisit the cave, this is about as good as it gets.
