From Steven Spielberg comes a decidedly darker iteration of Indiana Jones. Jim and A.Ron have the behind the scenes stories about stunts, on-set injuries, and casting. Join in on the discussion as your hosts ponder the burning question, What makes a movie feel like an ‘Indiana Jones’ movie? Hold on to your costume, that elephant looks hungry.
It’s the Indiana Jones movie that no one asked for, but it’s the fun send off the fans needed! How do Jim and A.Ron feel about the new artifact? Did the plot make sense? How does Phoebe Waller-Bridge fit into this well-loved franchise? It’s a galloping adventure with the world’s most charismatic archeologist and scoundrel, Harrison Ford, I mean, Indiana Jones!
Take a walk on the adventurous side as we revisit a staple of classic pulp movies. The dialogue crackles, the visuals stun, and Harrison Ford creates an icon of 20th century cinema. We have the behind-the-scenes of stunts and the story of Lucas and Spielberg’s fateful Hawaii trip. From the rolling boulder to the Ark wiping out the Third Reich, it’s a rip roaring time of good writing, great acting, and a score that soars.
