    Why we have a PG-13 rating: TEMPLE OF DOOM!

    In preparation for Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny, I'm re-watching all the Indiana Jones content! That means all four movies plus The Adventures of Young Indiana Jones (formerly known as "The Young Indiana Jones Chronicles"). Today, we're talking about Temple of Doom. Topics include:

    • Does this film get too silly?
    • What do you think about Temple of Doom's intro?
    • Was it smart to move from a Judeo-Christian relic to Hindu artifacts?

    My apologies regarding the clipping noises in this episode. Not sure why it recorded that way!

    Best action sequence? Best character intro? What can we learn from Raiders as writers and storytellers?

    In preparation for Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny, I'm re-watching all the Indiana Jones content! That means all four movies plus The Adventures of Young Indiana Jones (formerly known as "The Young Indiana Jones Chronicles"). Today, we're talking about my favorite film of all time, Raiders of the Lost Ark. Topics include:

    • The best character intros
    • What made Raiders of the Lost Ark so impactful?
    • What makes Raiders feel like an 80s movie? What makes it timeless?
    • The best action sequence...
    • What about the supernatural works here? Why? And what does it tell us about the Ark of the Covenant?
