"You lost today, kid. But that doesn't mean you have to like it."
With America in the midst of DIAL OF DESTINY fever, we decided to keep things topical for a consecutive week by discussing the third film in the series, INDIANA JONES AND THE LAST CRUSADE! John is once again joined by Simon and recurring special guest Tom. This is a film we all have fond memories of, so we spent a lot of time talking about this film's return to the lighter whimsy of RAIDERS; Sean Connery and the Father/Son dynamic (and the weird meta-casting in context to the Moore Bond vibes); the great prologue; the MANY goofs and gags; and discuss where this film ranks among the other Indiana Jones films.
Before the film, we talked about some news of the week, including: new releases; quick RIP to Alan Arkin; ongoing labour news; recent trailers; and we also discuss what we watched this week.
Tune in next week as we return to the Ridley Scott watch series to discuss WHITE SQUALL.
