159. Jonesing for Indiana Jones vol. 1 - The Raiders of the Lost Ark + Temple of Doom

Pop Break throws it back for their rewatch of the Indiana Jones film franchise as the final installment of the series just premiered at the Cannes Film Festival. Host BIll Bodkin is joined by "The Human Star Wars Encyclopedia" Amanda Rivas and "The Commander of our Hearts" Ben Murchison to discuss Raiders of the Lost Ark and Indiana Jones and The Temple of Doom. They talk about Raiders and its historical cinematic significance, it's most memorable lines, Paul Freeman's antagonist, the near casting of Tom Selleck and Danny DeVito, and their favorite parts of the film. For Temple of Doom, Ben defends the film from Amanda and Bill's criticism, but all three admit the film has not aged well at all with time. They discuss Kate Capshaw's role, Ke Huy Quan's performance, and the decision to make the film a prequel. They also discuss the Dial of Destiny and their hype level, Amanda's unquenchable thirst for Harrison Ford, whether Ford's best role was Han or Indy and so much more.
