Templeton and friends embark on a treasure hunt through Astoria, Oregon, where The Goonies was filmed in 1985. Chosen because of how deeply the film’s legacy is woven into the town’s identity - Astoria isn’t simply a backdrop - it’s treated like a character in its own right.

​

In a standout moment, Templeton interviews director Richard Donner at his Beverly Hills studio, adding a layer of cinematic history and reinforcing why this location was an obvious choice for the series' debut.
