Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom (1984) - Indy Teaches us to Break Free - Desert of the Reel 4.2

from The Desert of the Reel: A Movie Podcast · host Desert of the Reel

Jason and Ryan revisit Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom (1984)! Was this Indy film part of your childhood? Jason and Ryan both grew up without it. But we have much to discuss from the potential dark place the creators found themselves in to Willie, the female protagonist who loves to yell. We have a list of cons to go over, but there also seems to be a lot of pros. Some fans love this film and we explore why this may be. We explore the idea of breaking out of the "Caste" system we are currently trapped in, if all myths and stories stem from truth, and a touch of analysis with the psychoanalytic lens.
