Screens of the Stone AgeEpisode 59: Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull (2008) with the New Brunswick Archaeology PodcastA new Indiana Jones movie came out this summer, so we’re reviewing an old one! Gabe Hrynick and Ken Holyoke of the New Brunswick Archaeology Podcast join us to talk about The Kingdom of the Crystal Skull (2008), widely regarded as probably the worst Indiana Jones movie. Is it really that bad? We break down the fridge, the monkeys, and the “magnetism”, and dip our toes into archaeological theory in this episode!

The New Brunswick Archaeology PodcastOut of the Consul, into the SackThis fortnight, Ken and Gabe discuss early Indigenous-European contacts in New Brunswick. The Far Northeast was the second earliest site of sustained Indigenous-European interaction, and events here fundamentally shaped North American history.

By the time the balthazar—a large format bottle named, incidentally for one of the biblical magi, another word for “wise man” in the Anglo-Catholic tradition—of Courvoisier–which is a drink—was gone, the sun was rising and both of your intrepid hosts had gotten in over their heads discussing Japanese hunter-gatherers, too.
