HOLY POTATOES! This week on the Seat Struck Movie Podcast, we discuss the 1984 sequel to Raiders of the Lost Ark, INDIANA JONES AND THE TEMPLE OF DOOM! Joining John and Quinn on this adventure is Tom, who you might recognize as John's co-host on the Domestic Pints ONLY podcast, and for his previous appearance on our OFFICE SPACE episode. We talk about one of the few films that Spielberg disowned after its release, an uncommon dark and disturbing (and, uh, definitely racist) entry into his filmography, yet an iconic piece of action blockbuster cinema that we loved as kids. We discuss our first experiences with this film and our thoughts on it coming back to it many years later. We then give our final scores. Before that, we run through our newest watchlist entries and discuss what we watched this week.
We will be back next week for a special Valentine's Day episode discussing our favourite ROMANTIC COMEDIES!
