Raiders of the Lost Ark (1981) - How Should we Deal with Impermanence? - The Desert of the Reel 4.1

Welcome to season 4 of The Desert of the Reel! This season, we'll be digging into the five Indiana Jones films, starting, of course, with Raiders of the Lost Ark. There's so much art and beauty in the filming that both Jason and Ryan agree (for once) for the most part. While Jason does dig into the logical flaws, even he has to admit that they're mostly due to the genre of the film. We look at Raiders through the post-colonial lens, examine the ethics of archeology, and look at the philosophy of death and impermenance. We're so glad you'll be joining us as we journey with one of the most iconic fictional characters ever created!Join as we engage with the sometimes problematic Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom (1984) and let us know your thoughts about this film, or anything else at [email protected]
