On our massive new episode, hosts Christopher Funderburg and John Cribbs are joined by longtime friends of the show John Arminio and Bill Teck to discuss one of the greatest film series in the history of le cinema: the Indiana Jones tetralogy! Join them at their own podcasting Club Obi-Wan as they tackle Mr. Play Mountain’s brilliantly fun series the way Indy tackles one of Lao Che’s henchmen going after the antidote on the scattering and chaotic dance-floor.

They delve deep into their shared Well of Souls to explore the role of Philip Kaufman in the creation of the character, the missed opportunity to have Danny DeVito in the series, the stunning stuntwork across the films, the moments when the comedy works or doesn’t work and why its vision of the Hebrew G-d is so powerfully beautiful. Maybe most surprisingly, as with their discussion of the most unloved film in the Star Trek series (William Shatner’s Star Trek V) the group rises to the defense of the much-detested Kingdom of the Crystal Skull.

Give it a listen. We have top men working on it right now.
