Considered one of the greatest movie trilogies (and two more) of all time, Indiana Jones takes us along for the ride as Harrison Ford solves puzzles, avoids snakes, and maybe fucks his students? We're just reading between the lines, folks. In advance of Dial of Destiny, we're taking a look back at Kingdom of the Crystal Skull to see if it's as bad as we remember... and of course if it has a theme park presence, you know I gotta watch with Zach!
Plots (via Wiki & ChatGPT):
In 1957, Soviet agents led by Irina Spalko kidnap American archeologist Indiana Jones and his partner George "Mac" McHale. They infiltrate "Hangar 51" in Nevada and use Jones to locate an alien corpse from the Roswell incident. He locates the corpse before being double-crossed by Mac, but manages to escape to a nearby model town. The town is destroyed by a planned nuclear detonation, but Jones survives in a lead-lined refrigerator before being rescued and interrogated by the FBI.
Returning to Marshall College, Jones is informed that he has been placed on an indefinite leave of absence. Young greaser Mutt Williams approaches Indiana Jones and informs him that a former colleague of his, Harold Oxley, found a crystal skull in Peru before being abducted alongside Williams' mother. Soviet agents attempt to capture them, but the two escape and travel to Peru. There, they find carvings made by Oxley which lead the pair to the grave of Francisco de Orellana, which contains a crystal skull. Leaving the grave, the two are captured by the Soviets and taken to a camp in the Amazon. They are reunited there with an addled Oxley and Williams' mother, revealed to be Marion Ravenwood, who informs Jones that Williams is his son. Spalko explains to Jones that she believes the skulls to be alien in origin and from the mythical city of Akator. Jones realizes that Oxley is attempting to communicate through automatic writing, discovering a route to the city.
While en route to Akator, Indiana Jones retakes the skull from the Soviets and escapes from them alongside Ravenwood, Oxley and Williams, allowing Mac to accompany them after he claims to be a CIA agent. After traversing several waterfalls, Jones and his companions locate a rock formation which leads them to Akator, evading the city's guardians and reaching a large temple. There, they find evidence of the city being built by aliens and enter a large chamber which contains thirteen crystal skeletons. The Soviets, who had been following transceivers planted by Mac, arrive there as well; Spalko takes the skull and places it onto the one headless skeleton.
The skeleton awakens and telepathically offers a reward to Spalko, who demands to "know everything". As an interdimensional portal opens above the chamber, the skeletons combine into a reanimated alien, which transfers an overwhelming amount of knowledge into Spalko's mind, killing her. Jones, Oxley, Ravenwood and Williams escape as Mac is drawn into the portal. As the city crumbles, a flying saucer rises from the ruins and departs for another dimension. Jones and his party return to the United States. Afterwards, he is reinstated at Marshall College and promoted to Associate Dean, and finally marries Ravenwood.

I have a soft spot for this movie because it’s the first one I saw in theaters as a kid. My dad actually ran into Harrison Ford the week before at a park and said, “I’m taking my kids to see your movie.”
After mentioning my brother and I have different mothers, Ford chuckles and said, “That’s how you do it”
To this day I remember that weirdly funny encounter
Me too
@@nicholasdeporto5257 which part?
@@nicholasdeporto5257lmfao that’s hilarious
First one I saw in cinemas too, was probably 5 years old. Nostalgic asf to me don’t think I could ever dislike it but I get why people do
This movie strikes a weird note of both "It's not as bad as everyone said, they were definitely overreacting back then" and "but it's also still pretty bad"
YES. This exactly.
I think because the first 1/2 to 2/3rds is actually pretty good and fun and goofy and camp in a GOOD way.
But then the last bit is just nononononono.....
It’s weird because the last time I rewatched it I was like hey this is pretty good and now everytime I think about it I’m like damn that movie was ass.
It’s called pussyfooting.
I hadn’t watched it with adult eyes before so I was expecting to think it was just decent enough and everyone was being hyperbolic, but man it just didn’t work for me. The whole crystal skull plot was just so boring and confusing. Mutt was an awful character, and it also really bothers me how his name is Henry Jones III yet he probably didn’t even know that was name. Also, the movie just looks so ugly. Everything looks so bright.
My favorite line of the whole commentary. “You’re name is Henry Jones the III. Colin’s name was Colin!” Lol
The commenter's logic *is* sound.
I have re watched the whole video 4 times just to show people that bit
@@ThatOrangeGhost I hadn’t seen Kingdom of the Crystal Skull since it came out, so the whole thing didn’t strike me as odd until Eric mentioned it like that and had me laughing out loud lol
I'm glad the universal reaction to Shia's character picking up Indy's hat at the end and Indy snatching it from him is "Noooo- Oh thank God."
Meanwhile in Star Wars episode 9…
@@emblemblade9245what was the equivalent scene?
@@directorforplastic7929"Rey who?"
Dude, I would have killed to see a movie about Indiana Jones's son going through his own adventures and his own character arc of choosing between doing what he wants and fulfilling his fathers legacy. That idea is more appealing to me than the new movie we got.
I'm definitely in the minority, but I wanted Shia to take up the hat 🤷
That "Part-Time" joke was 💯
fucked up thing is that i distinctly remember that line in the trailer for this movie, and they used a much better take of it there for some reason? in the final movie it's awkward as heck sounding.
@@kiwi_armsmaybe it’s just me but I think the movie take is better. Its more casual which imo makes it cooler. The trailer take is a little too generic badass line read for me.
@@kiwi_armsyeah funny how rlm thought the same thing
Zach out Eric-ed Eric.
@@daftbanna7202wait till you learn that other people were alive for the trailers and release of this film, and have memories of things, and also can come to similar conclusions about the same event as other people. It’ll blow your mind!
Bringing Karen Allen back as Marion Ravenwood back was a good move
agreed!
Literally the only things I remembered about this movie was Shia Labeouf, and the lady’s head exploding.
i vividly remember the ants scene
I remember punching shit as lego shia labeouf in the lego game
@@Tae-Kwon-Dovahkiin YES
the ants scene and the tree scene
I dont remember ladies had. I remember fencing on two cars, and I remember shia combing his hair and trying to look like a "bad boy".
The massive smirk on my face knowing Eric had to pay up hehe
😡
Eric screaming "YOUR NAME IS HENRY JONES THE 3RD! COLINS NAME IS COLIN" is the best soundbyte of all time
“A sharp cheddar really stinkin’ up dinner” is getting added to the list of PMI quotes stained on my brain
If the monkey swinging scene was practical it would be pretty sick.
could say that about most scenes in the movie tbh
@@PrettyMuchItdon’t think Harrison would have enjoyed a practical nuke to survive though.
@@Macaptastunt/body double would’ve helped
@@Macapta I bet Harrison is glad he didn't film Oppenheimer
@@PrettyMuchIt I mean the Nuke scene was a mix of actual practical effects, referring when you see those houses explodes. And personally, the nuke fridge scene, it's fine. It fits with Indy if you really think about it and most importantly, it was fun scene all together.
Indy 5 on the other hand is trash because it's woke. It may me think more fondly to this movie than the 5th. At least this movie felt more like an Indy movie.
Eric’s Shia story had me in tears omfg😂😂
I defended this movie in 2008, and I defend it now, I don’t care if it… ALIENates me from others lol
jesus
As someone who didn't care much for Indiana Jones growing up (I saw the entire trilogy once, and the first film maybe 3 times tops), I didn't find Crystal Skull that bad. I could probably rewatch it as an adult and think "Yeah, this is kinda dumb", but I was a sophomore in high school when the movie came out, which was a year after the first live action Transformers came out (which I was obsessed with). I liked seeing Shia Lebouf in action films at the time, so I have good memories of this film (having not watched it again since theaters) because of that.
based
I like it
Fun fact: The idea for aliens being the fourth indiana jones' "thing" goes back to the 90s, when the original script for "Indiana Jones and the Saucermen from Mars" was first worked on (this didn't have anythign to do with crystal skull other than both having aliens, tho).
They ALSO wanted M. NIGHT SHYAMALAN to write the fourth movie, way back in the day, but the deal fell through!
Other unmade Indiana Jones movies include "Indiana Jones and The Monkey King", "Indiana Jones and the Haunted Mansion", "Indiana Jones and the Lost Continent" (which was about Atlantis), and the first version of what would eventually become Crystal Skull: "Indiana Jones and the City of Gods", written by Frank Darabont.
And I'm gonna be honest, NEVER had a problem with the aliens in this movie. I like it, conceptually. Every indiana jones movie has him dealing with a different, unrelated sort of supernatural nonsense (except them doing judeo-christian stuff twice), so them branching from mystic religious stuff into straight up scifi was a neat change of pace tbh.
I gave an standing ovation for that part time joke
...and my Wife gave a standing ovulation for it
I was going to like this comment, but it had the funny number of likes so I had to let it be. I don’t make the rules
@8:21 "THATS THE SKULL!" bit kills me every time.
I never really had an issue with this one. I watched them all as a kid back to back so to me it just felt like another Indiana Jones adventure. As an adult, I really like the tie-in with the 60's UFO craze and the Ancient Civilizations conspiracies : )
I Enjoyed it a lot as well
I never realized that the 60's was when the big UFO craze was. That makes me appreciate their decision to go with aliens a little more.
@@turnipcrazy4602 No the UFO craze started in the 40s with Kenneth Arnold. The D.C. invasion, battle of L.A., Roswell, were all in the 40s and 50s. Projects Sign and Grudge were in the 40s, whilst the big Project Blue Book took place over the 50s until '69. No idea why you think the 60s was the UFO period. The space race reaching its climax and nuclear rapprochement were the main themes.
@@skarloeythomas5172 Okay, but why'd you comment this on my comment, I was responding to the original comment who said it was in the sixites. That information is good to know, but I wasn't the one spreading misinformation.
@@skarloeythomas5172 Right. The UFO craze wasn't in the sixties, but Crystal Skull is set in '57, so it's still pretty smack dab right in it.
Cate Blanchett’s hair doing its best Will Byers impression.
“DUDE, that’s the that’s the SKULL!” 💀
I’m dead. 🤣🤣💯
That Holes reference completely sent me. 😂😂😂😂😂😂
"I'm tied of this Dr. Jones..."
"WELL THAT'S TOO DAMN BAD!!"
It has Cate Blanchett in it as a Soviet agent with psychic powers.
That automatically disqualifies it from being worst anything.
Harrison Ford is so damn hot, there are at least a handful of people auditing the class for his face
This movie is weird. Technically, as far as logically advancing the world of Indy, this did it all right. And there's some really, really good stuff in here. But there's also some bad stuff and Indy just doesn't work well outside the World War 1-2 era.
Why doesn't he work well outside of the WW1&2 era?
I think Indy works very well in the early Cold War setting
@@troybonner91The character was designed within that confluence of the cowboy and the globetrotter. Go back much further and you lose the globtetrotting aspect. Go beyond and you lose the efficacy of the cowboy.
I do agree on the worldbuilding being good-- I actually really like the sci-fi aspect of it all, and think it works. It's also fun because, as the franchise is meant to be a throwback, this works as being a throwback to the movies that were being made in the era it's set-- schlocky alien stuff.
In my mind all myths and "otherworldly" shit can exist in indiana jones' world... aliens, gods, atlantis, ghosts, i'm willing to accept any of it.
@@kiwi_arms Yeah, the problem of the movie is not really "aliens", but the fact that the whole climax is just a cgi setpiece with no real work or anything spectacular behind it, just actors standing in front of a green screen.
TBH I still like this movie even though it has a lot of flaws. I rewatched it recently and still thought it was okay. However, my mom who saw the original films in the theater, hates this one. She doesn't like the whole alien aspect, but there were literal flying ghosts in the first one but idk.
The fact your standards are so low nowadays is probably proof the movie is bad. People have been producing worse movies overall to the point someone like you would be willing to go "meh, its not star wars bad".
@@nom6758or you’re just overheating it. I mean, the commenter didn’t say that it’s the best movie of all time, they said it’s just okay, and that’s what it is. It’s incredibly flawed but overall it isn’t close to as bad as a myriad of films released both before and after it, especially before it. Idk why you’re acting like bad movies are new things, there’s been bad movies forever
I vastly prefer this over Temple of doom and the reviews found online tend to agree. I've heard people argue that aliens are sci-fi and everything else was supernatural, but like... so what?
@@JZStudiosonline We have vastly different tastes.
haha my mom hates this one too. I think the reason she dislikes it more is because she grew up on the originals. It's really a change of pace compared to the first three, but I dont think its the worst thing ever lol
I saw a fan edit of this film that removes a lot of junk like dumb lines, cgi animals, the fridge scene, and some alien stuff and although it doesn't fix everything it makes the viewing experience way more enjoyable. There's a good film in here when you take out some of the bad stuff.
So that leaves about 30/45mins if your lucky😄
@@joebryant5722 actually it only took out I believe a little over 10 minutes. Whoever did it did a fantastic job.
Did they De-aged characters and removed Shia completely somehow? That would be really good
@@hannibalburgers477 Harrison doesn't need to be deaged. Looked great for his age at the time.
The fridge scene is fucking great, it's such a funny concept.
If anything, this movie was a great advertisement for whatever brand made that refrigerator!
amen!
I think the fridge scene is pretty cool, I just wish they made Harrison look more beat up when he falls out of it.
But that Fallout: New Vegas easter egg is what he would’ve actually looked like
I've always defended this movie.
The 50s and aliens and el dorado

personally kingdom of the crystal skull is a satisfying finale, indiana jones keeps his dignity and he gets a happy ending with his family
pls come to philly💔💔💔
My name is Eric and the zack that I knew was my high school bully, i guess not all Eric’s and zacks get along, you guys are AWESOME!!
I will always say it, that practical effects are essential to Indy movies. CGI ages movies quicker than practical effects. Could you imagine if the Toht face melt was done in CGI? It wouldn't have the same effect.
☝🏼
I still don’t hate this movie like some do. It’s not as good as the originals, the CGI and green screen sucks, and some plot points were bad. But I still enjoy parts of it and I think the fridge scene wasn’t that bad. I also kinda liked that the ending almost directly says "there is only one Indiana Jones".
need a "dude thats the SKULL" shirt
SITTING RIGHT BEHIND YOU IN THE THEATER, PSYCHO KILLER SHIA LEBOUF
that i need to comb my hair joke made me laugh the rest of the video hold on i gotta rewind
Thanks for the years of funny ass content, Eric! I turn this on fairly often, especially when I'm having a bad day
thanks for stickin around, austin!
Imagine cackling to yourself in a movie theater at a time theres no joke because ofnthe commentary track😂😂
Am I the only one who thinks the whole fridge bit is only SLIGHTLY more believable than the raft falling out of an airplane over multiple gigantic waterfalls in Temple of Doom?
Also, shout out to that Mystic Manor reference. Alternative iterations of Haunted Mansion FTW.
tbh for me the raft feels like it’s meant to get a laugh but the fridge does not
In temple of doom a guy rips the heart out of another guys chest, his chest heals and then the guy is still alive and when he’s burned his detached heart burns as well. Everyone going on about the fridge scene have no right to complain when a previous movie has already setup how over the top and unbelievable this franchise can get. You can argue that the execution of the scene wasn’t good, but saying the concept as a whole is ridiculous and over the top for an Indy movie is just unbelievable.
@@anom6707 There is literally so much in the original trilogy for people to bitch about, but they don't because those movies are the gospel.
The real problem with the raft is why did Lao Che’s men fly across Asia then destroy the plane.
The raft falling out of the aeroplane was perfectly understandable. The plane buzzed the summit, feet of packed snow, the drag from the liferaft. It was fine until it careened off a sheer cliff face into rapids below though. The raft would have flipped multiple times, they would have fallen out, and the raft would have ruptured at the bottom. So that was bullshit, but it was over in a few seconds whilst the refrigerator sequence was the entirety of the escape and sole action moment, so it drew more pointed ire.
This is hilarious timing. I’m in Australia and you released the video at the extra same time I started watching Dial of Destiny 😂
perfect!
Thank you, I was patiently waiting. 💛🖤💛🗽
8:26 That was such a "DUDE PRIDE ROCK!" moment.
This is perfect timing thank you Eric
🙏🏼
Everyone hates the fridge, but I love it. It's camp.
Let's just say the voodoo ritual in Temple of Doom gave him some kind of invincibility in the refrigerator.
The fridge is some kind of commentary on 50's logic. That I can understand. What I don't get is the swinging monkeys
It's definitely not as bad as the collective conciousness remembers it as. The CG is dodgy but not horrific, and it had enough clever Indy lines/scenes to fit in with the old ones. Also aliens and saucers aren't any more fantastical than melting faces, voodoo rituals, and immortal knights. That being said, it'd be pretty hard to top the OG 3.
"Your name is Henry Jones III, Colin's name was Colin!" is a new favorite.
I just love this movie so much. I don't see how people found the aliens so weird and I loved Shia's character, don't see why they had to kill him
They killed him bc no one wants to work with Shia anymore.
They killed him bc they somehow couldn't think of any other way to write the character out of the movie.
That part-time hair combing gag was fantastic.
This is a great discussion. You really go into depth with everything that happens in this film.
That... really? I mean no, this isn't in depth film discussion. It's entertaining, but it's like seeing a third grade class about reading analogue clocks and thinking that's in depth maths.
Back when I was just a kid, my dad just got me interested in the Indiana Jones Franchise just a few months before crystal skull hit theaters. So needless to say i was hyped. Back then I thought the movie was pretty great, but as I got older I could def see the glaring issues. But I’ll say this, weird as CS may be, it still holds a place in my heart cause it was my first IJ film in the theater, I got to see it with my dad, and just have a good time. Keeping the same mentality as I go see Dial with my dad this weekend.
love that! worth it!
What really takes the joy out of these new Indiana Jones movies is the fact that when the older movies were shown in theaters and were made, they had spectacular stunts that were real and that were on set craziness and it looks so good on screen, now everything looks all CGI and it really takes the epicness and adventure out of Indiana Jones because Indiana Jones. I really thought they were going to take out a lot of CGI and do real life stunts to pay homage. But unfortunately it looks like Indiana Jones went out with a fizzle
I also rewatched this film recently, and I actually think Indiana Jones 4 holds up way better than people give it credit for. The cgi doesn’t bother me because to me, cgi will always be a product of its time. First Jumanji movie for example - the monkeys look awful, but I don’t care, I still love the film. I also really like the alien concept in this film. The skull is cool and there’s a lot of classic Indiana Jones spookiness that goes with it. I think the whole action sequence in the jungle is super fun. Watching this film so many years later and finally having some media literacy, I realized Mutt swinging on the vine is a reference to Indiana always swinging on his whip. I took it as a fun “like father, like son” reference and really appreciated it after that. As for Indy surviving the fridge scene, he also survived falling out of a plane in an inflatable raft with a child and a lounge singer, so I just took that scene for what it was and enjoyed it too. The shot of him standing in the foreground of a mushroom cloud is great, as his him standing in front of a flying saucer.
My criticism and beef with this film is their decision to portray the communists as the villains, as if they were comparable to the Nazis. The communists DEFEATED the Nazis! In the third film, when the Germans are burning the books, one of the books is literally Capital by Karl Marx!!! It’s like they showed how wrong the Nazis were for burning that book, but then turned around in 4 and said, “actually the Nazis were right to burn that book”.
So basically, the film is over-hated for the wrong reasons and also it doesn’t get nearly enough hate for the correct reasons. In the end, it’s still technically fun. The Mutt/Indy/Marion dynamic is great.
Such a good analysis! This film is pretty on par with the original three in terms of goofy shenanigans and action, just was a different time for CGI.
I mean, Stalin’s regime was basically just as bad, and they were just an “enemy of my enemy” situation in WWII, and it’s not like Soviets weren’t used plenty of times as villains already in similar movies
Had me in the first half but then you come in with some weird pro-communist criticism later. I don't know if you're an actual Marxist or are just clueless but frankly the atrocities committed by the USSR far exceed anything Nazi Germany did.
7:35 If you listen closely you can pinpoint the exact moment where their suspension of disbelief rips in half
To put it simply, you could rescue this film if you made the final act as strong as the first (fridge scene would be better remembered if it was followed by a strong ending).
This movie has it's faults, but I love the callbacks to last crusade at 4:14, mirroring Indy and Henry on the bike. Indy even says at one point "this is in tolerable!" Like Henry Jones Sr. If they had just kept these parts it would've made the reveal of him being his son way better.
my biggest flex is that in the first film, the window Indy jumps out of is/was my dad's classroom & the hall is from the same school (RMS, Royal Masonic in Rickmansworth)
whoa dope!
Me and my mum literally say “Part time” in a low gravelly voice because of that scene all the time 😂
I’m just glad this wasn’t the last time I had to see Indiana Jones in a movie theater
I really like this movie, it's my second-favorite Indy movie (after Raiders). It just nails the adventure feel for me, plus Indy and Marion getting back together was great.
A ghost?
~wind blows hat~
PERRY THE GHOST!?!??
Watched for the first time last week, thought it was great fun
Just got out of seeing Dial of Destiny. Crystal Skull is absolutely better
Mutt Williams, and Indy named after the dog. Another stupid coincidence.
The fridge scene is awesome and iconic and I’ll always stand by that lol
"I thought my name was Mutthew" killed me
Eric, love the commentary tracks so I went to find your letterboxd hoping for some more zingers in your reviews. No ratings or reviews!! Would love to see you add to those
i've never rated movies! not my thing!
That part time joke was top tier😂
Ight, you got me good with the "part time".
The Fridge scene was ACTUALLY gonna be used in BACK TO THE FUTURE.
Love any reference to Paul
Movie is still better then 99% of adventures and action coming out today
Nice shirt Zach. I got the same one
Question! How do you do your still-in-theater film commentary tracks? I'd imagine you don't do it in a regular showing as to not disturb other people, do you just rent a private screening?
drive-in!
This is the first Indiana Jones movie I saw in full I saw it in theaters with my mom and sister and my mom was flabbergasted by the aliens
I like how I was watching this video thinking
“Oh come on the refrigerator explosion thing isn’t that bad! It’s not totally legit but the lead makes a bit of sense for an action flick.”
Only for the scene to KEEP playing and realizing that he didn’t just sit in the fridge but it was THRUSTED AWAY. LOL.
I have a soft spot for this movie because I saw it in theaters, and I honestly felt the story beats weren't that bad. I'm more of a character and story progression person than just pure action. Looking back on it though, I wish they didn't rely so much on CGI. The aliens court would have been so much better practical, with a few CG touches to clean it up a bit. That was the 2010's, studios felt that CGI is a way to make movies look better, but that's such a hard thing to get right every single time.
There's nothing wrong with it. The 'CGI' complaint is a dead giveaway of a fake movie buff. Practicals are better by default? Lucasfilm's Star Wars trilogy from Episode I to III were intensively practical, and it did nothing to slow the onslaught of the poor critic's CGI complaint. Because it is a bogus criticism.
@@skarloeythomas5172 Seriously, I'm just a person who's seen a lot of the practical they had been able to achieve in the past movies. Should it all have been practical, no, but should they have at least been on a practical set when they were at the aliens room, yet I personally think that would have looked cool. Please don't jump to conclusions and aggressively call people "fake movie buffs", because I'll tell you this, I hate when people get pretentious about movies.
@@skarloeythomas5172 Not really, because still with CGI you are not doing anything particularily interesting with the image, wether it's movement or depth of field or anything. Practicality may just be a way for many people to state their disregard for the whole sequence, as it's not as interesting visually as other ones in the movie, even.
@@NicolasGarciaLanza That's just a lie. Of course CG terrain and action can be interesting, but if one has an inherent disregard for the medium and style he is not interested in giving it a fair examination. You can see the opposite with practicals. They may not even be practical, but if he thinks they are then he gives it an automatic thumbs up, never minding if it had a purpose or if it served one.
A lot of the practicals referred to by these people are so garish like in A New Hope or The Exorcist and destroy immersion, but they are the painfully obvious examples. Inconspicuous practicals do not get praise, and this exposes this weird narrative about CGI vs practical.
@@turnipcrazy4602 Anyone more knowledgeable or invested will be seen as pretentious to an insecure or disinterested person. Some people don't care for cinema to be the whimsical play pen of each individual and your inexplicable tastes about fantasised practicals looking cooler doesn't hold water. People are fake movie buffs when they think the things in their head do hold water and don't analyse films as art.
This movie isn’t great at all but one thing I will never talk bad about is the fridge scene, that shit is hilarious and I’ll always love it
The scenarios and plot in this movie are nonsensical, but Harrison Ford is just good as Indiana Jones, even in this.
“a la Mystic Manor” Eric on Podcast the Ride when???
shout out eric repping my hometown’s band in this vid 🫡
"Indie! We need to get across the red sea again!"
PART TIME.
I really enjoy the first half of this movie, the Area 51 and chase through the college are some great Indiana Jones action adventure. After they discover the skull in Peru the movie loses me completely with the jungle and the conclusion. Oh and the ant death is pretty cool too. Like others this movie is special because I remember being so excited to see in in the theater when it came out, a very pleasant memory.
I need to hear the comment of the new one it's so good and simultaneously so horrendous I need you to see it
The answer to your question is yes, Eric. On another note, I really enjoyed your upload! Nice to hear Zach too!
this moive and terminator 3 share a similar space in my brain in that when they first came out fans looked at ford and Schwarzenegger as being really old but now they look positively youthful compared to recent entries in the 2 series
"part time" i'm dead.
The look of disappointment I get when I tel people this was my first Indiana Jones movie.
"I stand by Nickelback, though." 🤣 love it and agreed lol
This reason this doesn't feel like an Indiana Jones film, is because it wasn't written to be one.
It was planned as an Indiana Jones game developed by Lucas Arts, but Spielberg liked the plot so much that he took it from the dev team and so they had to come up with another story instead.
This is bullshit. Spielberg hated the idea and tried to talk Lucas out of aliens ever since 1995, but finally gave in. There is video of them literally saying this. Where did you get that?
In dial of destiny I wanted mutt to come in swinging on a vine and stab indiana jones😂
2:22 YANKEE WITH NO BRIM 💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀
Had the exact experience to this film a few weeks ago
Yeah, this movie starts off well, nuclear blast aside, and I don't hate the alien plot quite as much as a lot of people seem to, but the 3rd act is a mess and the over-reliance on CGI really kills it.
I enjoy this movie in a "it's not a good movie but it's a fun movie" kind of way. Like it has *a lot* of issues, but I just can't help but laugh and have a good time at some of the ridiculous stuff that happens. I really enjoy rewatching it from time to time
Dig the 100gecs shirt, Zac
I didn’t hate Mutt
I didn’t think he was as annoying as a lot of people did the whole point of his character is that he’s “everything Indy’s dad thought his son was”
The explosion... the radiation... okay. Indiana Jones surviving that is nothing too beyond the pale for the kind of pulp action hero that he is. I think if he had gotten into a fridge to survive the initial fallout, got in hell out and legged it, believable.
I think the worst problem is the fridge being shot across the neighborhood like it was flowing out of a trebuchet, and him just getting out of it absolutely fine like nothing had even happened.
100% agree, and the clearly CG fridge flying all over the place doesn't help haha
7:54 That’s the SKULL!
unrelated but that miniature is so unsettling to me lmao
Still better than Dial of Destiny 😂
