Sean Astin has spent most of his life in front of the camera starring in beloved films like The Goonies, Rudy, and The Lord of the Rings — and behind the scenes as a committed advocate for SAG-AFTRA and its members. Now he's leading our union as its newly elected president. In Part 1 of this 2-part conversation with SAG-AFTRA National Executive Director and Chief Negotiator, Duncan Crabtree-Ireland, Sean talks about what this moment means to him, how his mother Patty Duke's presidency shaped him, and why he sees this role as "identity shaping." He also shares his vision for the next chapter of the union, including a deep focus on health and pension plans, A.I., and modernizing the member experience. *The views expressed by guests are their own and do not necessarily reflect the views of their organization or SAG-AFTRA.

Sean Astin, Wil Wheaton, and Louis Gossett Jr. bring the heat in this action-packed mix of Die Hard, The Goonies, and teenage rebellion. Gene and Big D break down the implausible plot, glorious explosions, and whether this 90s cult classic still makes the grade. Is it a hidden gem, or just juvenile fantasy with pipe bombs? Tune in and find out! Plot Summary:Colombian terrorist Luis Cali (Andrew Divoff) takes an American prep school hostage as a means of gaining his drug lord father's freedom. Privileged yet rebellious students Joey (Wil Wheaton), Billy (Sean Astin), Snuffy (Keith Coogan) and Hank (T.E.

This week on Toon'd In!, Jim Cummings welcomes the legendary, lovable, and endlessly versatile Sean Astin—the iconic actor behind unforgettable roles like Samwise Gamgee in The Lord of the Rings, Mikey in The Goonies, Rudy, and the voice of Raphael in Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (2012), among many others!From Middle-Earth to mutant sewer lairs, Sean takes us through the highs, the heart, and the humor of a career that spans decades across film, TV, and voiceover. Hear what it was like bringing depth to beloved characters, stepping into iconic franchises, and growing up in a Hollywood legacy—plus some hilarious behind-the-scenes moments you won't want to miss.

This week, I'm pulling four titles off the shelf that all deal with prehistoric humans in some form. They're all very different films. Some take the subject seriously, others just go for laughs. What they share is a central idea of how humans interact with one another. Whether it's science labs, high schools, or the open world, these movies all find something worthwhile to focus on.Caveman (1981)Directed by Carl Gottlieb (who co-wrote Jaws), this one's a straight-up comedy. It stars Ringo Starr, Barbara Bach, Dennis Quaid, and Shelley Long, all speaking in a made-up language while running from stop-motion dinosaurs. It's a weird, physical, surprisingly consistent comedy that doesn't rely on much more than expression and timing. Jim Danforth handled the effects work, using the same animation style he brought to other fantasy films of the era.Quest for Fire (1981)Probably the most serious pick this week. Directed by Jean-Jacques Annaud, this is a film with no real spoken language. The cast learned a constructed language by Anthony Burgess and used movement techniques developed by Desmond Morris. Rae Dawn Chong, Ron Perlman, and Everett McGill all commit fully to their roles. It won an Oscar for Best Makeup and doesn't try to explain much—it just shows a small group of early humans trying to survive. Worth seeing for the detail and the performances alone.Iceman (1984)This one takes place in a cold research facility where a frozen prehistoric man is brought back to life. John Lone plays the Iceman and gives a performance that's more nuanced than you'd expect from this kind of premise. Timothy Hutton plays the anthropologist trying to connect with him. It's more intimate and focused than a lot of 1980s sci-fi, with a steady pace and a good sense of space. Encino Man (1992)Directed by Les Mayfield and produced by Hollywood Pictures, this is the comedy version of a caveman showing up in a modern world. Brendan Fraser plays Link, and this was the role that helped launch his career. Pauly Shore plays Stoney who sets the tone for the whole movie. There's also Sean Astin, trying to use Link as a way to get popular. It's loud, strange, and very early '90s, but it moves fast and gets a lot out of the water park, fast food, and high school scenes. The soundtrack includes Queen, Infectious Grooves, Right Said Fred and a bunch of other songs that place it squarely in 1992.None of these films feel like they're trying to say the same thing. What they do have in common is how they treat the idea of prehistoric people not as monsters or jokes, but as people. Even in the comedies, there's a sense of curiosity behind the setups. They're fun to watch, sometimes surprisingly thoughtful, and all a little out of step with what people usually mean when they talk about science fiction or historical drama.Thanks for reading Video Store Podcast!
