As soon as I saw the Lois lane casting I immediately thought of Quibi and the golden arm. I go back and listen to that every once in awhile for a good laugh. Keep up the hilarious work.
I saw this this weekend after watching asteroid city. my friend is a bit of a Indiana Jones fan. I almost said no but remembered you guys might be talking about it. I thought it was cool. not and indiana jones guy myself, but was okay. honestly I sometimes only watch these movies cause you guys are talking about them. Your videos are great.
I’d really like to hear Mason lead a series of Star Trek focused videos. Big Trekkie here, and my ears peaked up hard when he started talking about the new season of SNW
It is a testament to y’alls wit that I listen to you religiously despite not giving a crap about most of what you talk about. I live in an asylum. A free range nut farm. And at night I seek the longest episode of yours I can find to drown out the hysterical laughter and screams all around. Thanks for the zzzs.
I really enjoyed this movie, although it definitely needed some minor tuning here and there. I think over all it’s a great film. I hope you enjoyed it James, also something something Blue Harvest
I have a theory about box office numbers that some people (wealthy 1% type folks) might not like. So, everything is so fecking expensive right now because corporations are operating at peak levels of greed and reporting record profits… that normal everyday people are having to decide whether to give their money to the greedy corporations making their food or the corporations making movies(which are also not paying writers for their work…also related to peak greed). So we are choosing to feed our families and not see movies this summer…especially since most of these films will be on our streaming services soon enough, also something we are already paying for. Thoughts?
Inflation is not caused by companies just deciding to be greedy. Companies always want profits. Inflation is caused by supply chain issues, the pandaic (also to do with all the money thrown in to it by the goverments, but not as much) and less energy and food supply because of the Ukraine war and general uncertainty and confustion on the market (it is easier to charge more if prices are changing a lot and are hard to compare). So your theory is wrong when it comes to what causes inflation but yes, in economically hard times people are more carefully when it comes to spending their money and I am sure that this has some influence on ticket sales, but I am not sure this works as the main explenation. There are a lot of movies that seem lame with lame marketing out right now while there is also real competition when it comes to entertainment. Why watch Elemntal or Dial of Destiny when you can watch Spiderverse 2, a movie everyone is talking about and that was well marketed and got good reviews.
I don't think it is specifically an economics issue, cinema has been expensive for decades... And now there are streaming services and affordable uhd TVs, which people became accustomed to during lockdowns. Movie theaters have just been pushed out of the market by more convenient, cheaper alternatives.
Alan Arkin also has a funny part in “So I Married An Axe Murderer” where he plays a nice and supportive police captain who attempts being grizzled and tough like captains in movies 😂 RIP to a legend.
Spoiler: . . . . . . I think what I really respect about this is that the ending was such a swing for the fences. I think the temptation would be to play it safe with this, after the last one wasn’t received well, but they decided to go all out, and I think that’s really cool.
I agree with you, and James and Mason - the time travelling was well done and I think what they were going for worked. Especially as him doing a Captain America would not have been right.
I did enjoy dial of destiny but my problem with it is that the old Indy movies were made out of love for the 40s and 50s pulp adventure movies and this one was made out of love for Indiana Jones
I am looking forward to dialing in my destiny by watching the new Indiana Jones, but I think Fate of Atlantis would’ve been an _amazing_ movie (funny, James just said “Fate of Atlantis” as I was writing this)
Love the channel guys. I didn't hate DoD, overall I thought it was a fun film. Only aspect of the movie that bothered me was how they resolved the big finale and do feel that the critiques of it have merit. To each their own though.
One thing I quite liked about Dial of Destiny was that it mirrored Raiders to some extent in that, Indiana Jones ultimately doesn't really have any impact on the final outcome.
I found it to be a damn fine film! Watching the previous 4 films and then watching this film you really understand the life of Indiana Jones from 1912 to 1969 and you see all his ups and downs and by this movie you see where hes come from... It's very good action but not as memorable as the previous films... I've only seen it 2 times so far but overall it's pretty kick ass and enjoyable
1:07:19 They could have made Mutt MIA in Vietnam, that’s a thing that happened. There’s another adventure that could have been. A Rambo, Chuck Norris adventure lol
There was something about the scene where Indy said: “my friend was just murdered!” And Helena just goes 🫤, something about that scene really bothered me
I feel like that’s where Helena’s annoyance kinda peaked in the film and she started getting better after that bit, but I get you, they really need to take a moment there. At LEAST here they acknowledged that death, if it were in a new Star Wars film they would probably gloss it away or something…
I enjoyed DoD and I would recommend it to people. Much better than KotCS, obviously not on par with the originals. The opening flashback sequence was my favourite part, which really felt like the good old days to me. De-aging wasn't a problem at all for me on this occasion.
I remember when George Lucas referred to the original Star Wars as "very low budget," so I don't know if I buy that it was super expensive like Maso says. It was in the VHS version of the Special Edition box set documentary.
The original Star Wars cost $11 million, which adjusted for inflation would be $57 million today. The new Indy movie cost $300 million. They could make 5 original Star Wars movies for the cost of one new Indy movie. I wish Hollywood would learn this lesson and make more focused, better written, lower budget movies that actually stand a chance of making money, instead of bloated $200-300 million movies.
The video froze in the middle of James saying Wernher Von Braun. I thought he was trying to recall his name and they were waiting until he figured it out in real time. 4 minutes before I realized it was buffering
I haven't seen Dial of Destiny yet, so I am afraid to listen to this. Not because of spoiler, but because if James & Maso hated it, I don't think I will be able to keep an open mind. So I probably shouldn't listen, but I need something to distract me while I fold laundry. WON'T ANYONE THINK OF THE LAUNDRY???
59:00 You could tell Indy was just making that up at that point, right? I thought it was really clear he specifically came up with just anything to make the villain second-guess his plan. Also the drift wouldn't change the coordinates anyway...it'd change what piece of land is at those coordinates, but the rift was in the sky, so it doesn't matter.
I feel like Dial of Destiny missed a trick in reintroducing Short-Round as Indy's like "first son" especially after the loss of Mutt and have Helena's connection through Short-Round vs introducing an unnamed, unmentioned, unseen goddaughter. She can still be the focus but it would've been great to have Ke Huy Quan back in the franchise and I think the film would've resonated more especially hearing that he has to come back home to his time from someone who saw him as a hero and go from defiler of history to protector of man would've been a nice send off for Harrison Ford while breathing life into a new chapter of the franchise.
I've liked Indiana Jones well enough but have never been a massive fan, but goddamn, the idea of a Clone Wars-style (2003 OR 2008) Indiana Jones show is brilliant, and would be an instant watch for me.
I always feel real bad that I just switch on these boys, enjoy every second of their podcast and forget to give it a like. So, errr here is a comment to make up for it. That's how this works right?
Wait... you're saying the only way to effect change is to make those with power and influence feel the pain of those beneath them? It's not to sit quietly, and hope things kust get better on their own, for no reason?!
Writers are easily replaced with AI, authors and a good director/producer to do some touch ups. As long as they get the SAG and DGA on board, they don't really need the WGA anymore.
I find so weird how americans complain so much about the most silly movies, they talk about it like its the fall of western civilization. I saw the movie with my dad, the oldman had a blast, maybe because he is not involved in the lucasfilm holy war 😂
I'd watch some Indy animated shorts. 10 to 15 minutes a piece always ending on a cliffhanger. Show them before whatever the Big disney movie is at the time. Eventually, release them all on D+.
My biggest take away is that in this movie, they were allowed access to HD Harrison Ford footage from Indiana Jones and Star Wars 1977 Original Star Wars: Blue Harvest etc, and one of those VFX nerds didnt steal the original cut of Star Wars to give to us nerds, who cares if it cost them their job at Lucasfilm at least I'll be able to get some sleep
@@s1ckboirari Dial of Destiny is actually a reference to an abandoned Star Wars spin-off from the 90's about a droid trying to dial to its destiny that was eventually turned into an original IP and renamed 'Blue Harvest', the cult movie we all know and love
@@shinobi-no-bueno Didn't see the Flash so. I didn't really go into it with any expectations bad or good, and I enjoyed it and thought it avoided some issues I was afraid a project like this would have.

I think the reason DOD isn't doing great is actually Tomb Raider. Indy never had the power to make new fans the way Star Wars did, so most of the people who loved the originals are people who saw them at the time. These are not movies you get your kids to watch growing up or anything. Add to that the fact that in the late 90s and early 2000s Lara Croft was bigger then Indy EVER was (in more ways then one amiright), there is a large group of people looking at this and thinking "I saw the Tomb Raider movies and the sucked, why would I go see a knock-off?"

mason saying indiana jones's dick has sent me into a downward spiral. ive been listening for a few years and cant remember another time he said another curse word and didnt notice till i heard that one😂
They decided to change it. Every time they say “defenders” they would play the defenders of the earth theme, so they just took the two and mashed em together
I think seeing Archimedes in his time grounds those scenes a little more. If it was more ambiguous and he just showed up at the end of the sequence it would've felt a little one dimensional. Kinda like the Val Halla scene at the end of Love and Thunder where it just feels like 2 characters in front of a greenscreen.
The amount of vicious hate Phoebe Waller-Bridge is getting is absolutely ridiculous. She was good and at no point did it feel like she was put in to undermine the Indy character
Dial of Destiny should've been shorter, and should've had more practical stunts (especially in the opening sequence). There was also definitely a couple of holes. But (gnome picture), I thought it had some 'heart' and thought put into it, and the direction they took it in worked. And the ending sequence and final scene I really enjoyed.
It wqs distracting.They couldn't establish a proper age for him in the first flashback, in some scenes he looked like he did in raiders, in others he looked early 50s, and his voice sounded like he was in his 80s. Why they didn't just dub it with an impersonator is beside me.
I love people who care so much about the budget of a movie, they lose sight of the actual movie they are watching. Personally I enjoyed the hell out of the movie I saw for the $10 I paid to watch it on opening night.
I saw No Hard Feelings over the weekend. It's a pretty fine movie with a very noticeable floaty-heqd CGI naked character that's very obvious it's not really them. Fans of Jennifer Lawrence from ~2013 will either be excited or outraged by this.
Honestly, had a lot more fun with Kingdom of the Crystal Skull than Dial of Destiny, but it was still pretty good. I would definitely like it more if instead of at least one chase we had a proper amount of time for the characters.
It was fine. Not as bad as I thought. Not as good as Crystal Skull. Helena Shaw was terrible. Makes Mutt Williams look incredibly likable by comparison which is amazing in itself.
I was expecting a SW:TROS, bt Indy5 turned out to be SW:TLJ, an ok movie with plenty of problems, but a lot of great scenes as well. Overall enjoyed it, 6/10 and the fourth best Indy movie.
I really think a big factor all of these movies arw "flopping" is because of the overinflated budgets. There's no reason a fifth Indiana Jones movie needs to be more expensive than fucking Star Wars was. I know its not completely in their control, but it's also not like they are paying the crew and fx teams either so they need to budget better since I'm actually impressed that this movie made as much as it did at all.
How insane do you have to be to think that this movie would really end with some random lady replacing a beloved icon in all of his movies? I swear these people act like they are in a cult with how easily they believe bullshit.
I absolutely loved Dial of Destiny! However it’s still #5 on my list. Crystal Skull is very underrated and is better than this. But I don’t care. I’ve seen Dial twice and it’s a great finale for this character. Loved it.
I enjoyed this film. The uncanny valley wasn't too bad with the de-aging. The film was about 20 minutes too long in my opinion, and I don't think I could name more than 3 character names.... and one of them is a nickname. People just don't like seeing old characters grown up with ZERO character development. They want Luke/Han/Indy/etc... to just be exactly the same as they were in the 80's with nothing being different. It's a fine film, was a bit too long, has plenty of fun moments, cameos and action with some very nice looking stunts. There was one moment where two vehicles are driving from one place to another.... and the one that leaves 2nd somehow gets to the destination 1st... ages ahead of the other vehicle, I don't understand that yet. 2nd viewing needed I guess. [edit: carried on listening and me and James are on the same page with the movies length, nice to know]
Am I the only one who liked the Mutt character? I thought Shia was solid in that role with what they gave him. The Tarzan moment was stupid but that's not his fault
“What are you reading, Mason? I’ll start” is the coldest thing James has ever said
haha classic weekly planet banter
that time James said "Nichols dickoless Mason" was pretty funny

Missed opportunity at 33:40, the objectively correct joke to make about Indy being too old to use his whip was "young whipper snapper".

I had literally no idea who Lois Lane was until you talked about the golden arm. Thank you.
I really enjoyed this movie, although it definitely needed some minor tuning here and there. I think over all it’s a great film. I hope you enjoyed it James, also something something Blue Harvest

This one was made out of love for money, nothing more or less.
There is no love for Indiana Jones in any part of this movie.
I am looking forward to dialing in my destiny by watching the new Indiana Jones, but I think Fate of Atlantis would’ve been an _amazing_ movie (funny, James just said “Fate of Atlantis” as I was writing this)

Yknow what, I originally wasn’t going to see this movie. You guys might have just sold me a ticket. Thank you.

It’s a solid 3.5/5. Definitely worth the time for a pretty good capper to the legacy end of the character. It was a fitting end overall.

I’ll be honest, I really fucking loved this movie.
Hey James, haven't seen you mention it but the TV remake of Metropolis set to shoot in Melbourne was recently cancelled.
I feel like Dial of Destiny missed a trick in reintroducing Short-Round as Indy's like "first son" especially after the loss of Mutt and have Helena's connection through Short-Round vs introducing an unnamed, unmentioned, unseen goddaughter.

That’s an awful idea. No wonder they didn’t do that 😂
Does anyone else really want to see Christopher Nolan make an adult movie now?!?
Not really. The lack of women in his films makes an unfavourable ratio for my liking. ;)
Thank you Maso!! I thought I was the only one out there defending discovery 😭
You're not alone- Discovery is my favourite by far of the new Trek shows, and one of my favourite Treks full stop!
I've liked Indiana Jones well enough but have never been a massive fan, but goddamn, the idea of a Clone Wars-style (2003 OR 2008) Indiana Jones show is brilliant, and would be an instant watch for me.

My immediate reaction out of the theater was mostly indifference but that it was better than Crystal Skull.
mason saying indiana jones's dick has sent me into a downward spiral. ive been listening for a few years and cant remember another time he said another curse word and didnt notice till i heard that one😂
If there is a 6th one, I will still watch it.
What's the story behind "defenders of the earth" intro? Been hearing it for awhile now
They decided to change it. Every time they say “defenders” they would play the defenders of the earth theme, so they just took the two and mashed em together
@@rtl3956 Thank you
You guys are funny. I'm subscribed.
I think seeing Archimedes in his time grounds those scenes a little more. If it was more ambiguous and he just showed up at the end of the sequence it would've felt a little one dimensional. Kinda like the Val Halla scene at the end of Love and Thunder where it just feels like 2 characters in front of a greenscreen.
Did we get a movie commentary for June?
The amount of vicious hate Phoebe Waller-Bridge is getting is absolutely ridiculous. She was good and at no point did it feel like she was put in to undermine the Indy character
Dial of Destiny should've been shorter, and should've had more practical stunts (especially in the opening sequence). There was also definitely a couple of holes.
But (gnome picture), I thought it had some 'heart' and thought put into it, and the direction they took it in worked. And the ending sequence and final scene I really enjoyed.
I continued to watch Harrison Fords face for breaks in the cgi well after the flashback scene because it just broke my brain.
It wqs distracting.They couldn't establish a proper age for him in the first flashback, in some scenes he looked like he did in raiders, in others he looked early 50s, and his voice sounded like he was in his 80s. Why they didn't just dub it with an impersonator is beside me.
I loved this movie! Although, it was a bit too long.
29:07 Indy review
I love people who care so much about the budget of a movie, they lose sight of the actual movie they are watching. Personally I enjoyed the hell out of the movie I saw for the $10 I paid to watch it on opening night.
Rachel Brosnahan definitely strikes me as a Margot Kidder type.
I saw No Hard Feelings over the weekend. It's a pretty fine movie with a very noticeable floaty-heqd CGI naked character that's very obvious it's not really them. Fans of Jennifer Lawrence from ~2013 will either be excited or outraged by this.
Lawrence has said in interviews that's really her.
“How many times have you listened to this episode?”
Yes
We had so many episodes without mentioning Glengarry Glen Ross.
Honestly, had a lot more fun with Kingdom of the Crystal Skull than Dial of Destiny, but it was still pretty good. I would definitely like it more if instead of at least one chase we had a proper amount of time for the characters.
1:11:03 is my favorite joke btw
It was fine. Not as bad as I thought. Not as good as Crystal Skull. Helena Shaw was terrible. Makes Mutt Williams look incredibly likable by comparison which is amazing in itself.
I stand by my comment about the child to parent ratio. Thank you 😂 1:34:00
I was expecting a SW:TROS, bt Indy5 turned out to be SW:TLJ, an ok movie with plenty of problems, but a lot of great scenes as well. Overall enjoyed it, 6/10 and the fourth best Indy movie.
Love you boys
I really think a big factor all of these movies arw "flopping" is because of the overinflated budgets. There's no reason a fifth Indiana Jones movie needs to be more expensive than fucking Star Wars was. I know its not completely in their control, but it's also not like they are paying the crew and fx teams either so they need to budget better since I'm actually impressed that this movie made as much as it did at all.
How insane do you have to be to think that this movie would really end with some random lady replacing a beloved icon in all of his movies? I swear these people act like they are in a cult with how easily they believe bullshit.
Mr Sunday? More like Mr Monday! Am I right?! 🤣🤣🤣
I absolutely loved Dial of Destiny! However it’s still #5 on my list. Crystal Skull is very underrated and is better than this. But I don’t care. I’ve seen Dial twice and it’s a great finale for this character. Loved it.
TOM CRUISE is the GOAT
I enjoyed this film. The uncanny valley wasn't too bad with the de-aging. The film was about 20 minutes too long in my opinion, and I don't think I could name more than 3 character names.... and one of them is a nickname.
People just don't like seeing old characters grown up with ZERO character development. They want Luke/Han/Indy/etc... to just be exactly the same as they were in the 80's with nothing being different. It's a fine film, was a bit too long, has plenty of fun moments, cameos and action with some very nice looking stunts.
There was one moment where two vehicles are driving from one place to another.... and the one that leaves 2nd somehow gets to the destination 1st... ages ahead of the other vehicle, I don't understand that yet. 2nd viewing needed I guess.
[edit: carried on listening and me and James are on the same page with the movies length, nice to know]
should do a video on the importance of Oscar winners vs famous actors who didn't win
John William finally settles the score. 😂
I’d love to see Alexander Skarsgard as Lex Luthor call Superman’s cape gay
Bon Jovi in the New Years Eve movie. How could they forget about that??
Haven't watched the podcarst yet but I'm going to go out on a limb and guess that Mason said he "had fun with" Indiana Jones and the DoD.
Jennifer Lawrence single handedly brought back comedy!
The spice must flow, the hair must grow.
If I had a dial of destiny I would go back in time and watch Snake Eyes in the theater.
Henry Cavill was virtually unknown when he was cast as Superman.
Is it a rift in time or is the devised to designed to take you to a specific time. I feel like those are two different things.
meatloaf in fightclub followed by mealoaf in 51st state (formula 51) with a shoutout to meatloaf in pick of destiny
I hate to admit it.... but The Last Crusade joke got me.
As soon as I heard Mason pronounce Luffy, I could heard 1000 letters being typed.
Finally the review of destiny
meanwhile Keaton Batman's out there doing more flips as he gets older
2UNE trailer looked spicy
He did it!
He said Luffy the funny way!
Am I the only one who liked the Mutt character? I thought Shia was solid in that role with what they gave him. The Tarzan moment was stupid but that's not his fault
Indy 5 is easily 20 minutes too long, but I loved it. And I loved it more on second viewing.
