Volunteers (1985)

“Hello and Welcome to The Best Bits: Second Rate Show where we flashback to a random week of release and give a second chance to a film we didn't see the first time.”

Will and Kevin return to the summer of “Back to the Future”, “The Goonies” and “Jewel of the Nile”, and take a chance on Nicholas Meyer's Volunteers.

In 1962, after graduating from Yale, womanizing slacker Lawrence (Tom Hanks) flees a gambling debt that his rich dad won't pay and takes his roomie's place as Peace Corps Volunteer in Thai Golden Triangle with 2 other PCVs .
