In One Ear: Banks’ wish

Published 12:15 am Thursday, November 7, 2024

Behman Zakeri, owner of the Goonies house, lives with Goonies enthusiasm. His joy in the movie is unwavering, and he happily welcomes new fans to the fold, as is shown in one of his recent posts on TikTok (@behmanzakeri), about a letter from a boy, which he read aloud with his wife, Liz.

The letter says: “Dear Goonies owners, my name is Banks, and I’m 10 years old, and I love ‘The Goonies.’ It’s so cool how you guys own the Goonies house. If you can please read this on TikTok, I would be so happy.”

“So there you go, Banks,” Behman said. “We read your letter. And thank you for sending that to the Goonies house. We hope to meet you someday when you grow up.” The letter video has over 4,600 views so far.

As long as that Goonies spirit is kept alive, and new young fans keep seeing the movie and joining the fun, the Goonies truly will never say die. (Screenshot: Behman and Liz Zakeri)
