Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull (2008) - Protect the Garden of Your Mind - Desert of the Reel #4.4

Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull (2008) is a legacy sequel that has elicited strong opinions throughout the years. Does it deserve the hate? Is it overhated? Ryan and Jason debate over some parts that may or may not make it a worse move. But are Jason's nitpicks justified? For example, we all can agree the refrigerator part is ridiculous, but does it ruin the movie? Is this the Indy we know and love, or is this a version of the character that is made to make audiences happy? Among other topics, we discuss how this movie is a throwback and pastiche of the 1950s, aliens (and if they're real), what intertextuality is and when it is used as a bad thing, and all about protecting the "garden of your mind." Knowledge is power. Read a book! What are your thoughts on Crystal Skull? Is it as bad as Jason thinks? Is it better than Temple of Doom? [email protected]
