Ep 91 - Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull (2008)

Nearly 20 years after The Last Crusade, Harrison Ford finally returned as Indiana Jones in Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. Steven Spielberg was back behind the camera, George Lucas was back with a new story, and Indy was ready for another adventure—but this time, the Nazis were replaced by Cold War-era Soviets, ancient artifacts gave way to aliens, and the infamous Crystal Skull took center stage. In this R Rating movie review, we take a deep dive into Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, looking at Harrison Ford's return as Indiana Jones, Shia LaBeouf as Mutt Williams, Cate Blanchett as Irina Spalko, and Karen Allen's return as Marion Ravenwood. We'll talk about the infamous nuclear fridge scene, the jungle chase, the monkey sequence, the CGI, the infamous swinging monkeys, and—of course—the movie's controversial alien and interdimensional beings storyline. We'll also discuss whether the film captures the spirit of the original Indiana Jones trilogy or feels like a product of its time. Was Kingdom of the Crystal Skull unfairly hated? Is it actually a fun Indiana Jones adventure buried underneath some questionable CGI and story choices? Or did the franchise finally go one adventure too far?
