- 0:35Thirsty for Jones. I, of course I'm your host Malenko, and I'm
- 0:38Alex. Nice to media, and today we're talking about Oh dude, can
- 0:42you check your mike? Yeah? Sure, is it? Is it?
- 0:45I just want to make sure that it says it's the Forward Part. Okay,

- 0:54The Forward Party, not not left or right but forward. Can you
- 0:58move the cable? Alright? But forward? Oh man? Who was the

- 1:11just just a universal basic income, guys, all our problems. Let's cut
- 1:17all other programs and give each person a thousand dollars, something that punk of
- 1:23support, something that won't give them enough thousands of dollars. Dude, Thirsty
- 1:30for Jonesy, I love it. That is the theme song of this particular
- 1:42iteration of this podcast. Dude, I've missed you. Dude, I'm so
- 1:47happy to be in the room with you again. I've been excited. I've
- 1:49been excited. I like I've really really really missed talking to you about about
- 1:55movies. Of course. So it's it's a interesting movie, dude, Like,
- 2:00yeah, it's totally an interesting movie. I think I think that what
- 2:04we should do is kind of do Boner Show style, where you give a
- 2:07synopsis of it quick because it's new, right, like this is new territory
- 2:12for people. Let's just get into that part of it and then we can
- 2:15get into the nitty gritty. Okay, okay, because I just watched it.
- 2:17I just rewatched a pirated version of it, and it was like kind
- 2:22of like not like it was like shaky a little at times, and like,
- 2:25you know, you know, this quality wasn't very good. So I'm
- 2:31glad I saw it in theaters. But go go read read what the synopsis.
- 2:37Okay, let me let me just pull up look, show up,
- 2:42show up, back up Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny, which okay,
- 2:51now upon having seen it, yeah, and also like that's cool.
- 2:53I hate that people were pissed off about that. That's an annoying thing.
- 2:58People were pissed off? Which one about Like the title Dial of Destiny,
- 3:01I felt I felt bad about the title, but then then it didn't sound
- 3:06like an indie title until it was until I consider this fully cannon indie movie
- 3:10fully can fully canon. Yeah, totally directed by James Mangold, twenty twenty
- 3:15three's Indiana Jones and The Dial of Destiny. Also it makes the other one
- 3:22more cannony, totally to but it's better than the other one. I would
- 3:29say, yeah, this one infinitely. This one is like very Indiana Jones.
- 3:35It's very Indiana Jones, and it's very updated Indiana Jones. You could
- 3:38tell that they scienced it. They were like, Okay, guys, this
- 3:42is serious. This is fucking indie. We can't fuck with this brand.
- 3:46Yeah, totally okay, sorry, but continue James Mangolds Yeah. Twenty twenty
- 3:50three's James Bengeld, archaeologist, The Indiana Jones races against time to retrieve a
- 3:57legendary artifact that can change the course of history, which is like a pretty
- 4:00vague YAM DV title. It's totally. Yeah. It doesn't even mention Hellina,
- 4:12who is the main character, almost de facto main character, And I
- 4:15want to talk about that too, because that was like a big point of
- 4:18contention for this. It is very much still an indie movie, very much
- 4:21still a chapter in Indie's diary, but like kind of Van dem shares the
- 4:28Marquis, which I like, I don't know if he shares it that much.
- 4:30I feel like it's it's pretty. It's pretty decidedly in Indiana Jones movie.
- 4:36It is. But she's she's more than She's more than a sala and
- 4:42she's more than a doctor Jones. She is, but she is as she's
- 4:46way more than it. She is a shan a god daughter Sean Connery though
- 4:58with a cool new introduced character. He's pretty cool. It is and and
- 5:02and she They did a really good job. She did an amazing job.
- 5:08She did an amazing job. She's also we should say Phoebe roller Bridges Phony
- 5:12Stark was able to build this in a cave with a botch of scrapped creeby
- 5:18roller Bridges, Indiana Jones's title of destiny. It's Fleabag of Destiny. Dude,
- 5:27Yeah, totally, she's Indiana Jones and the Fleabag of Destiny. But
- 5:33they did a really good job because they kind of make her a bed first
- 5:39due that was my favorite part. The reason it worked. And the weird
- 5:44thing about Mutt is that Mutt was never totally this bad guy. Yeah,
- 5:51he was kind of just sad, a fucking loser. You're old man,
- 5:57it's a loser. She was definitely a teacher. Part five. It is
- 6:05part five, No, it was more. This was more part five.
- 6:12It was dark dude, fucking back in action, the way less tired Harrison
- 6:20Ford jacked, slender Harrison Ford, like his body, Harrison Ford. I
- 6:27was just like, whoa dude? Whoa eight? Like he went he like
- 6:31something, I have to say, went way harder than he needed to in
- 6:34this totally like definitely for sure was for real life riding horses in this movie.
- 6:42Like eighty year old dude, eighty year old. He looked amazing.
- 6:46He did look amazing. And you know what seeing it again with the bad
- 6:49quality, the young face looked good. Yeah, I mean the young face
- 6:56looked weird. It was the only was it was the only thing that I
- 6:59was like when I was watching in theaters with we watched in London. Yeah,
- 7:08when I was watching in theaters with, it was in like an empty
- 7:11theater, no one else empty theater as well. Yeah, yeah, opening
- 7:16weekend, empty theater. I do think this one's going to be a cult
- 7:19classic. Honestly, it's pretty good. Like, yeah, I like,
- 7:24let's let's get I would say, actually, maybe even I agree with you.
- 7:30I think I think it might be I think it might be better.
- 7:33But I think all the ones with the Nazis are just the trilogy. It's
- 7:38the Nazi trilogy. And I knew what like bringing the Nazis back was such
- 7:43a smart move, and to like position it in a time of like America
- 7:47changing, American exceptionalism, going to the moon, no longer thinking looking back
- 7:53at history. He's a fossil. People are not looking back at him.
- 7:57Can I just say one of the best lines in the movie fuga doctor johs
- 8:01oh dude. And most importantly, I do believe Harrison. I mean it
- 8:07just brings something intuitive to it with a certain charm that that very few people
- 8:13can do. Yeah, and working with Harrison, I mean he's like one
- 8:16of the biggest movie stars of all time and now he's still going I think
- 8:20he's nearly eighteen now and he's still throwing himself to all of these What kind
- 8:24of lessons did you learn from him or what kind of conversations did you have
- 8:28with him on the set? Was the only kind of wisdom that he imbued
- 8:31on? No, he doesn't throw around with wisdom as I think. It's
- 8:33just watch him, Just watch him, as you say, he him throwing
- 8:35himself out there as as an eighty year old du stunts, going on his
- 8:39bicycle after we wrap shooting, and most importantly the joy in his eyes of
- 8:45coming to set and do this job. This is a super previous job,
- 8:48right, and sometimes we would tend to forget it. But he doesn't due
- 8:54constantly constantly the most we would just feel like every time he would speak,
- 9:01I would think he did would either whisper or I would whisper dame if you
- 9:03could google doctor Johnson constantly it's it was so fog and his like hanging stringy
- 9:13bang yeah, with like Anna's like die job of like the half Grays.
- 9:20Yeah, it was I think perfect. I think the casting of Antonio benderis
- 9:30actually incredible. That Bears and and uh MutS Mixon were like so like better
- 9:39than Bond characters. Yeah, better than anything they've been cast in before.
- 9:43And there wasn't any such indie actors such Indie actors that Black Lady did a
- 9:48really good job, such a good job, and like, okay, so
- 9:50I want to talk about I want to talk about all of the stuff that
- 9:54people were like, go woke or go hold on that we gotta get into
- 9:58the world. Yeah, we gotta go into the woke and the broke.
- 10:01Even though Barbie made a billion dollars, but it makes no sense that that
- 10:07that's woke and broke is not a thing. It's not a thing. It's
- 10:09not real. It's not a real at all. Dispelled that man. But
- 10:13but what I wanted to get back to, just in terms of the India
- 10:16actors, what was perfect about this movie the in in contrast to twenty forty
- 10:24nine, which is also with also a legacy sequel. Also, Harrison Ford
- 10:31that there as much as there was like reverence for the other movies, it
- 10:39never took over the movie where like a Tony Vanderis and Matt Spieckelson were just
- 10:46there as characters, fully inhabiting the characters. There was never a moment where
- 10:50it was like, uh, like I recognized that this is a movie that's
- 10:54part of this series. It was just kind of like they were there.
- 10:58It was it was, and it was like it was really in the world
- 11:01of Indiana Jones. Like it was like all of the like Danny Mulrouns,
- 11:05I don't know what that means, and like side characters that you don't know
- 11:09what like they're just you know, like it was just such a big world
- 11:13and the movie had scale and scope, like it was filmed in real places
- 11:18on locations with lots of like actors. He just felt the Jones was amazing.
- 11:22The dude, My favorite part of the movie was was getting a flashback
- 11:28as old, older than all young Indiana Jones, but a d aged to
- 11:37make him like in his fifties. Fifties. Yeah, I thought that was
- 11:41amazing, amazing. It was perfect scene because it was like him, oh,
- 11:48Phoebe waller Bridge being smoothed to two. I don't know if you noticed
- 11:50that, I did, but how they added the mole the little girl.
- 11:54Yeah, but like her being smoothed was weird. That was even weirder to
- 12:01me than than seeing Indie because Indie was like, well, he's just an
- 12:05old man. I was like, did they even dagebus Eagle City looks exactly?
- 12:11It looks like same. Yeah, But I thought that was cool.
- 12:15And oh man, when he gets like fucking railed in the face with the
- 12:18like with the train. Oh yeah, but no, no, no,
- 12:20But Phoebe waller Bridge being being d aged that was weird. That was weird
- 12:24because it was like she she's thirty eight or thirty nine. Yeah, she's
- 12:30your age. Yeah, but but then also, oh man, I can't
- 12:35I'm not gonna lie. Wait sorry, let me finish that thought. Okay,
- 12:39she she It was weird because it was like she's supposed to be thirty
- 12:43in the movie because she's twelve when he leaves and then they don't see each
- 12:46other for eighteen years, right, right, So so she's like slightly young,
- 12:50slightly younger. But they did dage her, yeah, because like I
- 12:54was liked age her because I turned to Keenan and I was like, I
- 12:58don't know, but something was weird about her face and it was definitely not
- 13:01like makeup stuff interesting but I didn't notice. But but I now that you
- 13:07mention it, that kind of makes sense. But can I can I just
- 13:11say something, Yeah, they did something brilliant in this movie that I want
- 13:15to like pause it to you now as a like kind of they Okay,
- 13:22I have a theory that this movie actually really successfully did the in quotations woke
- 13:30thing because they make Indie in his world a guy out of his time.
- 13:35Yeah, he's a dinosaur in this world. Is he? We see him
- 13:37at the beginning in the like nineteen thirty Yeah, and like, no,
- 13:43no, it's the thirties. It's it's nineteen thirty nine. It's like the
- 13:45beginning of World War two, wasn't it. No, No, it's the
- 13:48first one is it's the end of the world. The first one is set
- 13:50before World War Two. It's in nineteen thirty five. Sorry, Temple of
- 13:54Doom is set in nineteen thirty five. Yeah, we need to figure out
- 13:58the timeline because he forty four Nazis capture Indiana Jones at Oxford archaeologist Basil Shaw
- 14:05as they attempt to retrieve This part is at the end of the war.
- 14:07Yeah, this part is so we're seeing Indie older than we've ever seen him
- 14:13in the previous previous movies. Well, no, because except for the fourth,
- 14:16because we're he's older there. Yeah, he's his age there, but
- 14:18during the Nazi period, Yes, we see him in the fifties, so
- 14:22we get kind of like an inter quel almost it's cool. It's Indie interquel.
- 14:28Yeah, I loved it, and you know what, it seemed like
- 14:31even with the body double, it was fine. So can we go through
- 14:33it in order? So the movie starts on this train and it's really cool.
- 14:39It's very Indiana Jones. It's very Indiana Jones. It's a storm on
- 14:43a train and it's Indie and Basil looking for the lance of Long Longiness.
- 14:52Yes, so it's the lance that they they it's just Christ in the side
- 14:58and he bled up. It's the thing that killed g this and it's supposed
- 15:01to be holy. So like they're like, there are are the things that
- 15:05we bumped for occult Lita and they're being very flu Germans. Yeah, there,
- 15:11it's it's astrophysicist York and Faller. Oh dude, this this here get
- 15:22from fucking flu My name is York and Faller, doctor Chance. As soon
- 15:33as he said his name, it was like like and I were just cackling.
- 15:39I mean, it's very fluke Dugamon, Yeah, totally, it is.
- 15:46It's very night man. It's different than German because Germans more like,
- 15:56oh is sometimes it's a little bit gentle, but the other times it is
- 16:03very much like this, But it's never like that was just like we just
- 16:15got all of our ship from the celebration. It's just like people yelling,
- 16:19yeah, people yelling at being sad. You mean The Dog ninety five original
- 16:26movie, Thomas Vinterberg's I think it's number two. It's the second one.
- 16:30It's the second one. It's the idiots, the best one. It is
- 16:32the best one. It's better than the idiots. Yeah, it's better than
- 16:36the idiots. But it's a close second. Is is Julian doccy boy?
- 16:41I mean, of course, but yeah, so but they and they find
- 16:45out that the lance that they were looking for, that the German stole was
- 16:49actually a copy of the lance. And but Basil realizes that organ flu a
- 17:00googa yog Vola has half of the dial of Destiny Archimedes dial of Destiny.
- 17:08Right, so it just like happens upon another extremely like powerful, valuable sort
- 17:15of like mystical object. Which but what I like about it is the fact
- 17:18that York and Vola is also obsessed with it too, so it makes sense
- 17:25that he would have it. Yeah, and Hitler dismisses it because he's like,
- 17:29this is you fucking sci fi moll shit. Yeah, because Hitler was
- 17:33way more into like which like Hitler was like way more like a gonult totally
- 17:37like this is way too like future and science fiction. But the fact that
- 17:41it's Archimedes and that it's Greek, it's a Greek play. Yeah, totally,
- 17:45it seemed by the way I try and I tried to watch myself by
- 17:49Someone Have You Done? Which has the best Serbian translation, that is amazing
- 18:00easy, it's a better title than the original. Yeah, it's so totally.
- 18:10He can't even tell, just from the way the sentence sounds, because
- 18:12it's much more it's what my son, my son, what have You Done?
- 18:18Wants to be? Like the poeticism of the one is summed up in
- 18:25the one title. We watched it. We watched it up until the only
- 18:29thing the Greeks you how to play with is each other's balls. Yeah,
- 18:33razzled and dazzled, but I razzled dazzled, and then William Dafoe being like,
- 18:38excuse me, just so uncomfortable. But it made me realize, like
- 18:44just how long Michael Shannon has been a household name for Like I haven't realized
- 18:49twenty twelve or something I haven't realized, like how much he's gotten older now
- 18:53and like he's playing like elder States when he's playing people who sound like this,
- 19:00and they all I don't know, I don't really like what they did
- 19:03to Zach. So I asked him and I was like, isn't that didn't
- 19:11I die? Uh? Oh, it's like a multiverse. Okay, well
- 19:15I don't know what that means, but I have to talk to Yeah,
- 19:19he's so he's that's really good. So wild Now he's such an outrageous dude.
- 19:25Yeah, I mean it feels very much like he's the kind of guy
- 19:27that could barry Christopher Walking. Oh he's ready Christopher walkin. But he's not
- 19:34as much of a parody of himself. But he's doing it for money,
- 19:37but the one that would get Christopher Walking and then maybe goldbloomed, you know,
- 19:42if if he had slightly gone more in a direction where a self parody,
- 19:47Yeah, yeah, totally. I mean he I don't think he can
- 19:49even do self parody. I think he just openly does things for money.
- 19:55You know. I think the very first time that Jeff Goldbloom was very particularly
- 20:00Jeff Goldblum was in Jurassic Park, because I just watched it, and he's
- 20:03very like making chaos theory. Oh yeah, he's he was already like he
- 20:08was always outrageous. He just got old, I think, so it got
- 20:11become like it's like like eccentric old man. I was stuttering, like I
- 20:18don't know it's dctor. Jones is now living in New York City and retiring
- 20:25from Hunter College, which is pretty cool. Yeah, Marion has left and
- 20:30filed for a legal separation. All of it's really cool. But we should
- 20:34talk about this train sequence because it's it's a really Indiana Jones actual scene.
- 20:40And it was nice that we got it because it was like the movie saying,
- 20:45hey, he's gonna be old for the rest of it. This first
- 20:48forty minutes is gonna be So that was just the thing. It was fine,
- 20:56but I did feel at times more board than I wanted to be because
- 21:02I was on board with it, but it was just there were times when
- 21:04I was like, this is dragging a little bit. Yeah, they all
- 21:10a little drag, not like this one. And I was like, I'm
- 21:15sorry she slept through both of them. She was like, I'm sorry,
- 21:18I want to watch. I don't know what's wrong with me, But yeah,
- 21:22it's a it's a very cool sequence. It's funny. Yeah, it's
- 21:26classic. It's classic in the way that like over hearing where he's like where
- 21:33he like sees a Nazi and then turns around, but he is still in
- 21:37the suit, and it'll be and it's like people figure the nazis figuring out
- 21:41how he's the bad guy. Where he's like he's turned around taking a hat
- 21:47off somebody, but but has like a bullet hole from the Nazi he killed,
- 21:52and then they see that they start chasing him and shit like that,
- 21:55which is all fun. It's very slapstick and like it's very it's very much
- 22:00in the spirit of Indiana Jones and seeing him like younger than you know that
- 22:03he is felt like like again, really cool and like a good thing,
- 22:10a good addition to the lore of this movie. And they definitely would have
- 22:14shot this if the technology was better, they would have shot this during the
- 22:18day, but because they were like, we have to the only way to
- 22:22pull off smooth facing a guy is to make it dark, make a night
- 22:26time. Yeah, it really worked for me. Honestly, I was like,
- 22:29I was like, it's weird, but I'm on board. Did it
- 22:33looked enough like Harrison Ford that I was like, this is fine, It's
- 22:37fine, yeah, totally. Like maybe if the technology gets better, we'll
- 22:41look back on this and be like, oh that was so twenty twenty three.
- 22:45Well, like you'll just see the problem is is that now, having
- 22:48done like a bunch of different v effects work on my own, like you
- 22:53can kind of tell what the limitations are, what the limitations are, like
- 22:57for example, when lightning hit at one point, you can see the seam
- 23:00as to where they pasted the face and stuff like that. It's just like,
- 23:07like, you know whatever, Like it's fine. I mean, like
- 23:11it's like the heart being ripped out. It's never gonna look real. It's
- 23:15always gonna look like silly putty. But like like I don't know, it
- 23:18looks pretty good then too. I feel like Indiana Jones is now canonically always
- 23:23used the science of its time and the like visual effect style of its time
- 23:29while trying to maintain a general Indie look, and totally now I can say
- 23:33that, and you're right that this one makes Part four more cannon. It
- 23:37does because like you see it and you're like, okay, Mutt is dead,
- 23:42which is such a good addition and such a good way. So what
- 23:45I wanted to say, was this is this movie updated the politics and the
- 23:52like kind of feelings of its time appropriately to like a more different kind of
- 24:00era of Americanism and like totally and like it really like not anti war stuff.
- 24:04It peeps in there, Some race stuff peeps in there, but like
- 24:08all with little kind of like touches and flourishes and mini criticisms of like the
- 24:15past seep in but in a way that like is realistic for the movie to
- 24:18do, to do. Yeah, totally, because the and the best the
- 24:23good part of having Phoebe wall or Bridge in there and being kind of an
- 24:29asshole is the fact that not only does she have an arc to change and
- 24:33be like, well, my life as a criminal isn't as fulfilling as it
- 24:38could be, but also having somebody who's not potentially replacing Indie removes the like
- 24:47the mutt aspect of the Fourth One, but also places this person, Phoebe
- 24:53wall or Bridge, being a person who can realistically criticize Indiana Jones, even
- 25:00though from her vantage point, she's criticizing him in a way that's like,
- 25:04well, I'm kind of a dick too, but I'm a better dick than
- 25:07you. Totally and they kind of like call out Indie's dickness with her dickness.
- 25:12Yeah, and I think that that was really tastefully done. And another
- 25:17thing I wanted to say that was that I thought was very interesting was that
- 25:22she she gets to kind of like like she has these like punchlines that are
- 25:26kind of like capitalism, but like not in a way that it's like,
- 25:30oh, I know capital where everything is just capital. It's true, this
- 25:34is actually like applied to exact context, whether it be for his like adventuring,
- 25:41whether it be for other pirates kind of stealing shit. But it's also
- 25:45a comment on the movie and the franchising of the movie. The fact that
- 25:49this one makes Part five makes Part four more cannon because it really anthologizes Indie
- 25:56over now a huge block of time. Like we've seen Indie as River Phoenix
- 26:03in like the like early like part of the twentieth century. Yeah, and
- 26:07then to now have them landing on the moon and Indie's old and retiring,
- 26:14that's cool and like so that anthologizes the character of Indiana Jones and makes it
- 26:19like this is why the series is called Indiana Jones and the Blah, because
- 26:23like we are checking in with this fucking cool guy who does kind of like
- 26:29a like he's an archaeologist, and they comment on it that he goes on
- 26:33adventures, but like it seems also like at this point, because it's we
- 26:38see it's so far removed from all of the other movies and he's so old,
- 26:44he gets to be more like, Yeah, the world went on without
- 26:48me, and I'm just a relic now, like nothing I am matters,
- 26:52and that really plays in because his son's dead, he's not with his wife,
- 26:56and nothing he does matters anymore. Nobody, like the students don't care
- 27:00air much like they didn't much like they used to care when they were like
- 27:03super in love with him. So now his relevance and his diamond isn't shining
- 27:07anymore. Yeah, totally, And he has to He had to figure out
- 27:12he had a real purpose. And this is why this actually should have been
- 27:17the fourth one, or these should have been the themes of the fourth one.
- 27:21He had to figure out what his relevance was again, which was,
- 27:26hey, you're old, you don't have to be an adventurer anymore. You
- 27:30can the desert man magical saw and he still had the majestical he was majestic.
- 27:41He was so majestic that it pulled off him doing broad face again,
- 27:45Oh dude, and him being like Indian brought me Like he does such a
- 27:52good job and it's amazing. He was like, no, guys, he
- 27:56needs his pr and his green card. The thing that he's a cabby too.
- 28:03They made it racist again. Is still well, but like it's just
- 28:07the kind of realism of the time. It's like it's like what it would
- 28:11be, just like some of the sexist stuff that he says to Phoebe Waller
- 28:15where he's like, he says some sexist stuff and she's kind of like what
- 28:18She's kind of just like fuck you. Yeah, totally and and like but
- 28:22just like even having like a classy scene where she's like because at first you're
- 28:29like, she they introduce her in a really awesome way because they make her
- 28:33fake nice, totally amazing. It's weird, it's a little weird head.
- 28:41But then you're like, oh, yeah, this totally track totally. The
- 28:45turn happens and she starts like she's like nope, Cela Roman run away.
- 28:49I was like, God, this is hilarious. And the fact that the
- 28:53fact that they're like relationship kind of builds over time, the fact that their
- 28:57relationship builds over time, Like she gets to be his short round in the
- 29:02movie, but then she also has a short Round which we'll get to.
- 29:06That was great. Yeah, so like that was kind of cool because then
- 29:08she kind of gets it kind of solidifies her like, you know, side
- 29:12main character status, and also like the ad the overarching adventure of it,
- 29:18like just kind of like I believe it, I want it was on board
- 29:22for the first side, yeah, for sure. And and like having like
- 29:26the reveal of her being that way happen in a classic tis Yeah, we're
- 29:33going to uh, we're going to a library that's full of dusty old books
- 29:37and we're gonna check out together. Totally. They always do that part of
- 29:42the movie where they have to check things out because they combined it's like they
- 29:45combined Journey. Yeah, it's like they combined Marian with uh, like short
- 29:52Round totally, totally, totally, and with a little bit of of in
- 29:57the nineteen sixties book. Yeah, with with a little bit of Henry in
- 30:03there, and it's like and but also with a little bit of just like
- 30:10well ceiling old man. And also the fact that her story mirrors his Part
- 30:15three so much it's kind of becomes almost a de facto Part three again,
- 30:18you know. And like sometimes you sequel a thing into like where do we
- 30:22take this? But like I really like where they took it, because like
- 30:25she's fulfilling her father's story totally in a way, and she comments on how
- 30:32like isn't that worth doing? And and it kind of resonates with him in
- 30:36the moment because he's like, yeah, I did that too. Yeah.
- 30:37Absolutely. We get to the New York stuff, which my name is doctor
- 30:45Schmidt. Changed this last name send it to avoid to avoid any being suspicions.
- 30:53That kind of inclusion is where it's like it became a rocket scientist,
- 30:59became a rocket scientist, helped with with uh in the American exceptionalism, how
- 31:04yeah, while at the same time, the America actually helped the Nazis in
- 31:11the first place by how they did their concentration camps totally. And and like
- 31:15I think that this movie like comments on some of that stuff. Like it's
- 31:18kind of like it's kind of like, hey, like you know, we
- 31:22really benefited off of the knowledge of these like horrible people who did horrible things.
- 31:26So it's like the movie acknowledging that, but not in a way that's
- 31:29like you know, I don't know, like in a very Indie way,
- 31:33Like it it felt very true to the lore of the story because because they
- 31:41did, they wouldn't have commented as much. Maybe they would have they commented
- 31:48enough in the same way that like if they had left that goddamn scene in
- 31:53the Temple of Doom where Indie finds out that Indian people or Indian he's suspicious
- 32:00of the Indian people because they don't eat meat, they left that scene in
- 32:04it's the same type of thing that they did with Oh right, right,
- 32:07right, right right, what do you mean where the Nazi stuff of like
- 32:14bringing people over is commented on vaguely it's not really a huge part of the
- 32:20plot, but vaguely commented on. No, exactly no, But that's that's
- 32:23how Indie has always done it, Like they always like comment on things indirectly,
- 32:28or like they don't always they're kind of like missed the mark. But
- 32:30like, it's also good to see a movie where Nazis are the fucking bad
- 32:34guys again, because like I think we need to get back to like that
- 32:39fictional era where we made Nazis like the existential like evil other bad guy,
- 32:45you know what I mean, Like because like I think that, like it
- 32:50is that kind of repugnant ideology, and I think it should be commented on
- 32:54in that way. And I'm glad that this movie did that, and I'm
- 32:58glad that it took some of that that that like, you know, I
- 33:02know, I keep talking about the wokeness, but like, I like that
- 33:06it did that. I like that it did that, and I like that
- 33:07it took the sixties version of how it was updated in the late sixties,
- 33:13playing the Beatles the Magic of Mystery too. It's so amazing that that's now.
- 33:19Indie Cannon. Yeah, totally. That was such a great scene where
- 33:22he comes with the baseball vat Jack Harrison. Totally, totally. Boyd.
- 33:27Holbrook Is also introduced the mustache bad guy, the blonde haird like bad guy,
- 33:35the tall really tall, muscular one. No, the guy, Well,
- 33:38he's I don't know, does he have a mustache. He's got the
- 33:42mustache, right, he's got he's blonde, and he's got an iconic mustache.
- 33:45He's got like a square haircut. Look him up, look him up,
- 33:50bisculle. Yeah, he's got a mustache. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
- 33:52Okay, I don't know how tall he is, but but no,
- 33:54no, the other guy's tall. There's another big guy. Do you remember
- 33:58the big guy? Yeah? Yeah, the bad guys were really good.
- 34:01Brook did a really good job being an American style Nazi. So, okay,
- 34:07are we going in order? Where are we now in the movie?
- 34:08We're in New York right, so where like they they bring in like that
- 34:13scene where they bring in the like black guy who like it is like this
- 34:17elderly or like older black guy. Yeah, and he like walks in with
- 34:22like the trays of oh man, and he's like, your people from yeah,
- 34:27I mean originally American originally? Where are your people from? Do you
- 34:30know? And it's kind of he's like I was born in the Bronx or
- 34:35like or something. He was like, he's like I was born in Brooklyn
- 34:37and he's like or I forget where he says, but like he's like I
- 34:42was born by Yankee Stadium. I remember that. And like it was just
- 34:45kind of like hey man, I'm an American fuck you? Yeah, And
- 34:47then that was great and then he subverts that by being like, well,
- 34:52what side did you win for? He's like, you didn't win Hitler just
- 34:57lost. That's where we learn the first time that he's a kind of pure
- 35:02Nazi, Like he believes so hard in the like shit of it more than
- 35:07Hitler, Like he's a bigger Hitler, wants to go back to be Hitler.
- 35:10Yeah, to be the next Hitler. He wants to replace Hitler by
- 35:14killing him, by killing him, which was the amazing idea, an amazing
- 35:17plot, yeah, because it build up him as like un ultimate Batty too,
- 35:22but also the fact that he has a miscalculation of not knowing what's the
- 35:27dial actually does. It's so perfect and we'll get to it, we'll get
- 35:31to it. So awesome and the but also the fact that he's like,
- 35:35I'm talking to the president. It's the Hubrists. It's the Hubrists of the
- 35:38Nazi. Yeah, totally, totally, but yeah they did. There's like
- 35:44whole like beautiful, like action packed scenes too of Harrison Ford's face being paid
- 35:50to it on a guy who's riding an actual horse. But but he did,
- 35:52he did actually ride the horse a bunch of times, a bunch of
- 35:55times. But it looks good. But when when the like he lifts off,
- 36:00I don't because it didn't render something in a moved and then it went,
- 36:07which I didn't notice the first time, but I definitely noticed totally.
- 36:10And then Helena who's Phoebe waller Bridge, shed talk enough about that scene where
- 36:20Indies giving the lecture at the beginning? Do we talk about that that we
- 36:22get there? Because oh, because he also goes to he's getting gets like
- 36:30a retirement party. He does have a retirement party, but not before he
- 36:34like gives a class to a very bored students except for one student who's very
- 36:39outspoken, very danny well rude energy, phoe waller Bridge, who's like our
- 36:46comedies and the dial and all of the things will be relevant for this movie.
- 36:52And if Harrison Form was like, yeah, he kind of gets more
- 36:55of a twinkle and a totally he did. He did faded twinkle acting really
- 37:01well because he does have a faded twinkle. He is so such a faded
- 37:06twinkle man. He's his voice was so good at this movie. His voice
- 37:09was so short round getting my dick wet shorty, classic classic indie lion dude
- 37:22Salah having like ten grandchildren living in a dang department too. It was really
- 37:30really fantastic canon. Why did I leave find I'm sure there was ours whiskey
- 37:40whiskey soaked Salah, both of them definitely weakened alcoholics, being like indeed not
- 37:47being able to talk about his dead son, like I missed the disc I
- 37:53know, sala I misadventuring and I only got ten years with that kid until
- 37:59he went off to die in some terrible war that had nothing, had nothing
- 38:05to do with honor. I fought in two war, sala. Yeah,
- 38:09there was a kind of like also sadness about it America. Yeah, because
- 38:14he was like, my son died for no reason, Sali. Dude,
- 38:17totally. I got that energy from India as well, like there was Yeah,
- 38:22there was like a faded star, a faded star feel. It was
- 38:24very cool. How does Marian feel? Marian doesn't talk to me anymore,
- 38:30Salad, I think she's gonna divorce me. Really, Marian would never do
- 38:36that Indian, oh man, I mean, did I ditched her after I
- 38:39had the kids? So maybe she would, sala I honestly couldn't think of
- 38:47a better part. Five. I really liked it. I really liked it.
- 38:52I don't think it I don't think they could have done anything else.
- 38:55The reviews for this movie are like stathing, Yes, scathing, and none
- 39:01of them are good, none of them are well written, all of them
- 39:05missed the entire march. All of them said a variation of even the fourth
- 39:10one is better, it's are you fucking care? Are you kidding me?
- 39:14Are you kidding me? No? Not even the fourth one is better?
- 39:16The fourth one is good and this one is better. Yeah, exactly,
- 39:20I think I like, yes, yes, I think I agree with that.
- 39:24Like it it's as much as we need and deserve from an indie,
- 39:30and like it like honors everything really well and it's well directed. It looks
- 39:36good. It nodded to Spielberg without being Spielberg, and it updated indie in
- 39:42a way that I was like, truly excited to see. And like I
- 39:45thought the fewer were all bridge Like I thought, she really co carried this
- 39:49movie in such a good way. She did a really good job. But
- 39:53and she was also she had the look, she had, the attitude,
- 39:58she had the lines, she could line, the line, she could do
- 40:01the line. That's that was what was missing hard from the fourth one.
- 40:05I would say, I was like, Shaya did not do Shia. No,
- 40:08Shaia was okay, okay, But Marian felt weird. Oxley felt weird.
- 40:16What's your name? No Oxley's cannon, dude. That guy's outrageous.
- 40:22What's her name? Kate bline Chett was weird, dude. I feel I
- 40:27honestly what's his name did a really good job when they talk about what's his
- 40:31face? Like the dad of Phoebe water Bridge, he's such a good it
- 40:37was he was so good. But he's such a good indie actor at his
- 40:39like fluffy hair, and just the relationship that they have, that the way
- 40:45they talked to each other, there's a kind of like masculine bonding in these
- 40:49movies with like Salah and like these kind of like moments where you have like,
- 40:54I don't know, it just feels very like like the there there's a
- 40:58like hey man, I see you. You're important to me. Yeah,
- 41:00because body The thing is because it's because they throw them immediately into such terrible
- 41:07situation and they have to figure it out together and it's their actions that dictate
- 41:13how they're they interact with each other. Right, so so that that one
- 41:17scene where where they flash back made it even better better, even better,
- 41:22like oh they love where it's like, oh, they also kept in touch
- 41:28and it's a very young daughter yeah, for his age. He seemed like
- 41:34a really old guy. And then we're supposed to believe that that's sometime in
- 41:38the future. I don't know. I don't know what the timeline is,
- 41:40but it is slightly older Indian. Yeah, and slightly older Toby Jones.
- 41:46They did a really good job. They did a really good job. And
- 41:50the oh MANI to the chair and like knocking himself over. So India iconic,
- 41:57so idea iconic. When Okay Salah takes takes old Indie too, because
- 42:04he figures out that Tangier indeed some other mystical place that no American knows about
- 42:13with the spear, Yeah, exactly, yea, both of course, shit
- 42:16both chicken shit. Man. I really, I really like that they go
- 42:22to Tangier. It's such an Indie place. It was such an Indy place
- 42:25to go, and her weirdly having sex with that random prince. I love
- 42:30being obsessed with the because it's hilarious, because it's the kind of adventures Indie
- 42:35would go on. It's Indie voting somebody like fuck somebody, and they would
- 42:42be obsessed and then freak out and want to kill him for some reason.
- 42:46It was so funny and and her his obsession was so hilarious. I agree,
- 42:52Yeah, she she did, and she did a really good job at
- 42:54being like I mean, he's just obsessed. I don't know, I look
- 42:59like it's hotly totally like being very like gas ladies totally and like how in
- 43:05real time and how inflamed her former fling is. But we will get to
- 43:09that. We need to talk about how he brings. So she meets up
- 43:15with him and they go to like a museum side quests type place. They
- 43:22go to like the like under it's the library. This is the library scene.
- 43:27They go to like this like hall with like all of these like you
- 43:31know, like stuff, and she's like, hey, like this dial and
- 43:36she just talks to him in a cafe about it. Right, where where
- 43:38are we in the movie? Because I find I'm jumping around. We're jumping
- 43:43around, so it's like I'm getting to Sala. They've already got the stolen
- 43:47the dial, right, and they they go to but the part where they
- 43:52get the how she gets the dial and all of the like setups with the
- 43:55CIA following them and stuff, Well, I haven't seen it. You you've
- 43:59seen it, Yeah I haven't. So it's like I don't know if like,
- 44:04are we jumping around? Yeah, I think I can't stay here forever.
- 44:07I think we end up talking about this movie for hours. You no,
- 44:09I know, but I do think that this movie deserves like the whole
- 44:13treatment, like it's deserve it belongs. Things belong to a museum in this
- 44:19episode as well, dude. But like, something I want to talk to
- 44:25you about is there's this kind of like there's this like sad former reverence in
- 44:31this movie of like having like history exist in a way that it's meant to
- 44:39and be revered in a way that it's meant to. And there's a kind
- 44:44of like sadness in this movie about that. Yeah, you know, like
- 44:46there's no going back, there's no going back that. Yeah, that's what
- 44:52the movie is kind of about, is that like you're to try and reclaim
- 44:57any glory is sad in and of itself, and that you should find happiness
- 45:02where you are exactly. And I think this movie does that or tries to.
- 45:07It definitely aims big. Yeah. So so they where were we were?
- 45:15Where were you you? Where were you? Well? This this is
- 45:19where they're in Tangier. They go through the like whole thing of like going
- 45:25through alleyways in in like a you know, quote unquote mystical place. Yeah,
- 45:30there's a lot of like passing of the dial back and forth in this
- 45:35movie that I don't think is like too necessary to like go into too much
- 45:38detail on Like there's a cool scene where like he's got the horse and everything,
- 45:42but like, yeah, which we already talked about, through the parade
- 45:44and stuff which felt like big scale. The lots of the scale stuff was
- 45:49great, Like to see New York, older New York full of people.
- 45:53It felt very like the dude, the color of this movie, what was
- 45:58it? It felt very like, right, yeah, it's really it's it's
- 46:01and it felt still within the realm of the originals. I agree, more
- 46:07so than Part four, way more so than part Part four. The look
- 46:12didn't like it felt a little bit more yellow than orange. It felt a
- 46:15little bit more desaturated. They figured out those tones in this Yeah, definitely
- 46:21definitely. And they head off to Sicily, to to oh Man every timely
- 46:27every Well it's because in Syracuse that's where our comedies was, right, and
- 46:32so like this whole movie is built around getting back there, which I think
- 46:37is like such an amazing reveal It's kind of such a beautiful thing because it's
- 46:43like history calling itself back, you know what I mean. Like the whole
- 46:47idea is that our comedies built this dial so that he could bring whoever found
- 46:52it back to him. Yeah, and it works totally, and it like
- 46:55so it was always supposed to happen. So Indie is always and will always
- 47:00be a part of history. Yeah totally. That I loved that was because
- 47:05he is yeah like it, and he like has been in these like pivotal
- 47:09moments throughout history, like meeting the guy with the Cup of Christ and like
- 47:14these really big stakes thing the Ark of the Coven in like he's found all
- 47:17of these amazing things, and so for him to be a part of like
- 47:22two thousand years of the past of like mathematics and curiosity about knowledge, it
- 47:27was really cool. It was. It was also what's interesting about the fifth
- 47:31one and how much it references all of them, including the interdimensional beings,
- 47:39because he becomes one of them in this one. It's sort of interesting to
- 47:45see how they took all the stuff that even that you didn't like and made
- 47:51it likablesting totally and like, you know, I listened to and I still
- 47:57think you should listen to it. But they listened to this episode of the
- 48:00Blind Boy podcast, and like he made a really interesting observation about how media
- 48:09is now being geared towards people our age, like millennials still, because like
- 48:15there's this like the only thing we have is this like nostalgia for the past,
- 48:22because we know now that we probably won't have like a very good future,
- 48:25and like it's kind of like like sad like that, Like that's the
- 48:31idea behind the marketing is like Mattel decided that they wanted to go into intellectual
- 48:37property instead of toy making because no one's buying toys anymore, so they want
- 48:43to make like a whole universe with like polypockets and shit. But like the
- 48:47movie itself kind of comments on all of that stuff. I haven't seen it
- 48:52yet, so I don't know, but like apparently it does. But like
- 48:54it also is like just going to become a part of this like big machinery.
- 49:00Yeah, and sort of like they're like they know the cynicism of like
- 49:05knowing that properties will work because there's like these like sad people that haven't made
- 49:09anything of their lives and like you know, like not you know, really,
- 49:14but like in the way that like our parents had, you know what
- 49:16I mean. Yeah, I like there's a kind of like a decline and
- 49:20a sadness of our quality of lives is just like so much lower. We
- 49:24don't have things as much as we have like digital ethereal sort of digital things
- 49:30that we can't like grasp or touch. And it's fascinating starting to interrupt you.
- 49:36It's fascinating because what he does is he kind of intellectualizes it in this
- 49:43way where he's like he makes it a part of like forty years of like
- 49:45Reaganism and Reagan Reaganomics, and he's like as soon as Reagan came into office,
- 49:52there was a deregulation of being able to advertise to children. So in
- 49:57a way we were like conditioned from a very young age to like to like
- 50:02care about like properties like this and still like, like there's toys, the
- 50:07ideas of adventure and fun like all is like being repackaged and sold back to
- 50:12like us. And that's why Barbie was like the biggest demographic was like millennials,
- 50:16right that watched it and like and like gen z. Yeah, but
- 50:20yeah, I don't know, it's like it's interesting. Sorry, not to
- 50:22get to but it feels like that's kind of what's behind the making of this
- 50:28movie. But I liked it, Yeah, totally. I mean this is
- 50:31also why I would never ever These are why my main criticisms to people like
- 50:39Tarantino and Pete Anderson have been, like, you have no commentary on now,
- 50:46there's nothing you can do. Now you have to like revel in this
- 50:51like weird past of like not just your own past, but like movie history
- 50:57past. Like you're not gonna like there's nothing else interesting to be explored like
- 51:02you used to. You used to like I don't know, I think the
- 51:06modern condition is very fascinating. If you can't make a movie about it,
- 51:09that's more speaks to you. Well, that's the thing is that Tarantino's first
- 51:14three movies we're all contemporary contemporary movies. Yeah, and it's so bizarre that
- 51:20they were. But they were kind of reaching towards a genre field that life
- 51:24and that's fine. But that's fine. They were still set now or now
- 51:29at that point. But but like, but like referencing the seventies in the
- 51:35nineties is an interesting thing. Yeah, you know, like but it like,
- 51:42but now it's just all He's making movies in the seventies, or or
- 51:46pt also making he made two three movies in the seventies in his in his
- 51:52Cannon, and like, I mean, it's because they had to talk about
- 51:55cocaine on cocaine with each other, talked about it, dude. It's just
- 52:00it's just weird to me that And maybe it's just because they're they don't want
- 52:05to be old. No, they want to cause Fiona Apple to quit because
- 52:09she can't handle the big gone okay with each other. Let's get to the
- 52:15scene of Antonio banderas oh Man became ready there, Okay, yeah, the
- 52:21he so he lets there's this big chase that happens through like where are they
- 52:27intended here? And like everyone gets involved. The guy the Matts Mickelson ends
- 52:32up at an auction where like indie like causes a big scene and doesn't very
- 52:37indie styles shootout, and like, I just want to mention some of these
- 52:42scenes because they're really cool. And like then he does a big chase throughout
- 52:46the city on these like cool scooters, and I think the scooters were very
- 52:51scot It felt very much like you know, like in Donkey Kong, where
- 52:55there's that level when you're jumping with those barrels. But yeah, yeah those
- 53:02carts yeah, yea barrel the carts that were in Indiana Jones too, Yeah,
- 53:07on the tracks yeah man, And like just shit like that like makes
- 53:12this movie so fun. Yeah, for sure. And the way people died,
- 53:15uh, and this was hilarious, the wild held scream of the Yeah,
- 53:20it was also so violent. It was so much more violent than it
- 53:24was definitely like hard because it was like blood and like there was a lot
- 53:31of shit in the movie where it was like bleak at times. Yeah,
- 53:35likely like in a cool way. Yeah, And like it had scale in
- 53:39a way that no under other Indie has so far, Like it went to
- 53:44boats, but in a good way, like it was in the Sky Airplane
- 53:46Indie. Oh we get no, sorry, we've had airplane Indie before.
- 53:50He jumps out of an airplane on that raft and of course no, there's
- 53:55tons of airplane Indie. Sorry when saying there's like maps with him going to
- 54:00which going through a space time in this which we'll get to. Yeah,
- 54:07But what I liked about everything on him going on boats was that we get
- 54:13that one scene which is him man, his performance in this this part where
- 54:22he finds like he tells like a talks about Mutt, like the disappointment he
- 54:30felt in himself, the disappointment he feels in his son. Oh, dude,
- 54:35disappointed him being disappointed in Mutt too, is like I wouldn't have let
- 54:39him go. Yeah, I wouldn't have let him go. It's it was
- 54:43so sad. Yeah, he was sad and in that that like Nakata way,
- 54:49in that way where he's like, Callista may not have had the best
- 54:52life. Dude so much Callista, but yeah, it's it's it was really
- 54:59sad and that at that generation of men who didn't talk about their feelings and
- 55:04really like got went came through through just not saying things about much and the
- 55:09way the pained look on his face down like it was like man like Indian
- 55:15like he did such a it was it was very Indian. It was like
- 55:19such a good performance. And it's kind of interesting because like his character has
- 55:22gotten more cynical throughout the movie totally, he becomes a little he loses his
- 55:30enjoyment of life. Yeah yeah, And I think that's a nice through line
- 55:34because it makes him a compelling character. It does, it does, And
- 55:38oh man, the scene where what's his name, Teddy Teddy kumar as the
- 55:46kid when when they go to retrieve something from the boat at the bottom of
- 55:53the sea. Uh, it's like the second part of the dial. Yeah,
- 55:59and they find it through like some maps or coordinates and they need to
- 56:02translate a thing. There's a lot of like indie type things. Yeah,
- 56:06totally, they find the map, it's okay, So they dive down with
- 56:10Antonio Bendaris's character, who's like this like friendly old friend of Indies, of
- 56:15course, an amazing old friend of Indians. They're so happy to see each
- 56:20other every time. They're so happy to see each other. It makes the
- 56:22character that much more like real. Yeah, totally, and I loved I
- 56:27loved when Teddy Kumara is like, oh yeah, yeah, like eels like
- 56:30snakes. They're not like snakes the way he is like scared about it.
- 56:37It's amazing. They're not like, they're not like snakes. And they're totally
- 56:42like snakes, dude, They're totally like snakes, electric scary water sneaks.
- 56:46Well, just don't let them bunch you because if they do, they're clasped
- 56:50on their john you can't get away anyway. Amazing. He man when he's
- 56:59like committed to be he kind of does a similar type of side character,
- 57:04but it's so endearing. There's such a like an enthusiasm to him where you're
- 57:07just like, man, this guy is like so friendly, like you remember
- 57:12almost just the like soul of this person, totally, the gregariousness he's so
- 57:16he's such a good actor. He's such a good actor. And this is
- 57:21talked about him several times on the show can Man even in just like weird
- 57:25cameos like this or in like Haywire where he turns into a piece of shit
- 57:30that it's like, oh man, you're so awesome, so good. He's
- 57:34so versatile, but in kind of a limited way totally. But yeah,
- 57:39when when they go down to get the and when they kill him too,
- 57:44it's sad. It's sad. It's sad. He first he shoots him in
- 57:47the knee and he's like, Indie, I'm not. He's like it does
- 57:50like a kind of a sacrificing himself, but they kind of make it more
- 57:53gray area on this, Like he doesn't like Indie, definitely doesn't want it
- 57:57to happen, and he wants to like tell this guy what but like so
- 58:00they get and this amulet and they like melt a goo off of it,
- 58:06yeah, to find the coordinate, the actual coordinates. Yeah, and she
- 58:09reads, she reads it's like it's last she didn't remember. There's like two
- 58:15different types of code that she was supposed to remember and she only remembered one
- 58:19type. And she's like, I can guarantee you it's that one. And
- 58:22he's like what if it's the other one, And then like she's like,
- 58:24I'll bet you fifty bucks it isn't. And then like they get to it
- 58:28and she's like, y, only fifty bucks. Yeah, it's great things
- 58:30Indie ship and also like one upsmanship is also an interesting thing about Indie that
- 58:37happens in the movies because he because he's always in competition with everyone everyone,
- 58:44but also when he fails, when he fails in the in the thing,
- 58:49it's always like the jokes on him. But also it counters his hubris that
- 58:57he has because he's also such a like oh, like he's full of shit
- 59:01and like the thing is the way, but he's full of shit that in
- 59:05that arena, which is great. The way that they make him like he
- 59:08knows his age, so he knows he has more limitations and they wrote that
- 59:13in in the way that they just in his choices, yeah, and what
- 59:16he decides to do, which was such an interesting update, like to see
- 59:21this character age and not pretend that that's the thing that bothers me so much
- 59:25about Schwartzy movies with old Schwartzy is like, don't I don't think he's badass
- 59:30anymore. I think he's think James Plan. I think he's very much James
- 59:37Conning and it's fine, he's jacked, but like he's old and it's okay,
- 59:42he's not else And like Stallone uses that too. He's like, yeah,
- 59:45I'm old, but you know I kept everything in place, you know,
- 59:50so I look pretty good. And Harrison Ford he's a fucking jacked eighty
- 59:54year old but he's eighty years old. Yeah, totally. He looks amazing
- 59:58at it looks amazing. Yeah. Like this shirtless scene, I was like,
- 1:00:00I can't believe they did this. Yeah, I can't believe they did
- 1:00:04this, and I'm so glad they did. He looks hot, like it's
- 1:00:07not just like it's not just like oh hot for his age. It's like
- 1:00:09I was like, holy shit, dude, what like what you are you
- 1:00:13like eating babies. What are you doing? He's definitely found some kind of
- 1:00:20like youth alixer. But yeah, so they come out of like I love
- 1:00:23all of the like diving stuff too. That was so cool, Like it
- 1:00:27looked really a fun adventure. It was cool having the the what's it called
- 1:00:36air pumped into the and and technology being like, oh, but we can't
- 1:00:43get up too quickly, you know. Oh man, Yeah, he was
- 1:00:45amazing. And then they come up and like they shoot him and they do
- 1:00:50all the sorry they we We've been told through all this stuff. Oh.
- 1:00:53Also, the physics of this one made way more sense than the physics of
- 1:00:58the other one. Yeah, it fell forth. It's not on the ropes
- 1:01:01with the most wing with them oh man, the monkeys. So a lot
- 1:01:06of people say I've seen a lot of people say that the most unforgivable thing
- 1:01:13about this movie is the time travel. And I push back on that because
- 1:01:19I think that this movie made Part four make more sense because it was like,
- 1:01:23okay, interquel and and interdimential beings and then Indie becoming an interdimendial being
- 1:01:31was so in keeping with the lore, and it kept with the magical science
- 1:01:36of Indie because Indie was always I'm realizing now magical science and not tied to
- 1:01:40any one particular viewpoint or religion. So we've got inter dimential being Indie.
- 1:01:46We've got Indian like mysticism, like racist kind of fake Indie. And then
- 1:01:52we've got like Christian lore and Nazi lore Indie and occult lore Indie. Yeah.
- 1:01:59So all of that was in this movie. Yeah, in such a
- 1:02:02cool way. Yeah. Yeah, shit, sorry, Yeah, we're good.
- 1:02:13Sorry, I just needed to Yeah, where were we? The part
- 1:02:23where Indie realizes that continental drift could have altered the time coordinates is amazing because
- 1:02:38how he figures it out is that because time has passed and they don't take
- 1:02:45into consideration the coordinates of space in that time, the wormhole is going to
- 1:02:52end up in a different place in time. So they're not going to end
- 1:02:57up in nineteen thirty nine to assassinate Hitler and become and win the war.
- 1:03:02Yeah, and the like hubrists of the of the situation is very reminiscent of
- 1:03:07the hubrists of like the Nazi guy who wanted to drink from the cup of
- 1:03:10Christ that turns into a gross ugly skeleton, or the Hubrists of the people
- 1:03:15who wanted to have the full knowledge and like looked into the eyes of of
- 1:03:20like the Arc or the Aliens and the Arc both both things. Was so
- 1:03:24there's very much like keeping into that lore of like you get to know somewhat
- 1:03:30somewhat, but you don't get to know it all. Yeah, And so
- 1:03:32there's a kind of a humility to Indie that continues. And now we have
- 1:03:36the humility of him being an elderly man, yeah, who is struggling with
- 1:03:40his lack of relevance. When when they get to the part in the final
- 1:03:45act of like going through the caves and stuff, and man, that kid
- 1:03:50that kids fucking ruthless when he takes off the cups cups the guy and handcuffs
- 1:03:55him to drown underwater. That was like a bolt movie. That was awesome,
- 1:04:00but but that shit like that happened, Like a guy gets fucking like
- 1:04:04like fucking polarized. There's like people get choked out in indie movies, Like
- 1:04:13people get like they die in kind of funny but like tragic funnyways. It's
- 1:04:17almost like, oh no, and so should we get to the scene where
- 1:04:23it's where they finally go through time. Yeah, So like, okay,
- 1:04:26a bunch of stuff happens, like they go through they go, they find
- 1:04:30the body of Archimedes and he's got a watch on He's got Indie's watch on
- 1:04:33right. That was great And they mentioned they mentioned the watch because they mentioned
- 1:04:40the watch because he gets it stolen earlier in the movie from them. He's
- 1:04:45like, that was my father's watch, which hearkens back to even more.
- 1:04:48Lare with the Dad. So there's Son Lore dead Son Lare, Dad Lore,
- 1:04:55new side characters, Laura. There's so much like built in indie world
- 1:05:00totally totally but we're exciting. That was great. Yeah, all all that
- 1:05:05kind of stuff we gotta get. Throw me the Whips perspective perspective I really
- 1:05:10want to hear because throw me the Whip fan of the show, friend of
- 1:05:13the show, go follow him at throw me the Whip on Instagram. He
- 1:05:15did like some brick really impressive and amazing reporting leading up to the release,
- 1:05:23the release of this movie that didn't actually give that much away, Like some
- 1:05:28of the stuff I must admit that I saw him post like made me like
- 1:05:32think a little bit, like I don't know, is this gonna be good.
- 1:05:36It's like nazis space, nazis Indie like what is this? What is
- 1:05:41it dial? What's a dial of destiny? James Mangold, I don't know,
- 1:05:46Like, what is this? Is this gonna be good? And then
- 1:05:49like it really delivered. Yeah, Oh it's it's not. By the way,
- 1:05:54it's not in Indie's dad's watch. I thought that too, but he
- 1:05:57says, my it's my dad's watch, or he says, oh no,
- 1:06:00no, it's when they find it they realize that it's. Oh it's Vasa.
- 1:06:04That's right, that's right, that's right, it's Valler's watch. It's
- 1:06:08not it's not Indies. Yeah. He takes the future technology, they change
- 1:06:12the past. Dude, it just goes. And I was saying, she
- 1:06:15was like, yeah, like sometimes things aren't that consequential, Like a plane
- 1:06:19could have crashed in Syracuse somewhere, and like there might not be any record
- 1:06:25of it, like people might have talked about it in some kind of lore
- 1:06:27or like it's like reasoned it away somehow, Like they say, oh,
- 1:06:30there's dragons in the sky, And I was like, that's such a good
- 1:06:33touch that there's dragons, because it's like it's so like such an interpretation that
- 1:06:39someone from like two thousand years ago would have and it also hearkens back to
- 1:06:44the idea of like we don't know what the future holds, and the future
- 1:06:48does change and life does change us, and so like it kind of like
- 1:06:54that's what I liked about it. It was real. It wasn't woke.
- 1:06:58It was real yeah, and like oh yeah, and then like when they
- 1:07:01escaped from the plane and by being really was woke. I went went man
- 1:07:05when I got when I got to the end, I was like, I
- 1:07:10braced myself because time travel Indian. I was like, I was like me
- 1:07:13too. But they were going through, but that obviously was exciting. I
- 1:07:18was like when they went through. As soon as they went through, I
- 1:07:20was like, this is good. Good I tell you had the same year.
- 1:07:25It's like I was like, oh my god, what are they actually
- 1:07:27doing it? They didn't because I was like I didn't think they we're gonna
- 1:07:30do I didn't think they was gonna like go like Wright or something where I
- 1:07:34see like in the window. But in the past. The fact that they
- 1:07:40went there, I was like, oh my god, that Archimedes is doing
- 1:07:45things like he had like plots. Archimedes is like my time she worked or
- 1:07:51whatever. Dude, and he's got cut solid energy to shoot the fact that
- 1:07:57Archimedes is like an excited dude with like a beard from like up to his
- 1:08:00eyeballs. Like the casting of this guy, it's, oh, man,
- 1:08:06dude, this actor more than anyone, this Archimedian's dating mal Rood is the
- 1:08:11perfect Indie actor of this whole thing. Totally said that that kind of old
- 1:08:16magical quality. Were like, like, it felt like the nineties, totally
- 1:08:20magical, and it's like, oh this it's the sincerity of it. The
- 1:08:26sincerity of it made us like, one, this is so fucking dumb and
- 1:08:30ridiculous. But they played it so into it. They played it one percent.
- 1:08:35And I really do think that people are going to look back on this
- 1:08:38and be like, this was a good one. This was an underrated movie.
- 1:08:41Totally totally. And then when when and man, the sincerity to which
- 1:08:45Indie played being like I'm not going back. I was like, I believe.
- 1:08:49I totally believed. I was like, I was just like, doesn't
- 1:08:53like I was. I thought the same thing. I knew in my heart
- 1:08:57of hearts that he wasn't going to end up in the past, but I
- 1:09:00thought him. I bought vice. I bought it by his performance that he
- 1:09:03was like Indie becoming part of history and getting to get a second wind relevance
- 1:09:11in terms of being able to like study the past, to look at where
- 1:09:16something actually came from that he was so interested in. And no, from
- 1:09:20from firsthand, not from like millions of years or hundreds of thousands of years
- 1:09:26or thousands of years actually getting to be there, you know. But but
- 1:09:30but then, but then in the most Indie way, when she's like no,
- 1:09:35plunches him in the face, and like kind of I loved it.
- 1:09:39I loved robs him of like having a hero moment while also her getting a
- 1:09:45hero moment, and then she does the right thing, She does the right
- 1:09:48thing. And then but then waking up in that that New York place and
- 1:09:53knowing you're gonna be like, oh, we're going to see Mariann. Can
- 1:09:56we can we just can we just talk about a couple more things before we
- 1:09:59get there, Like the death of Matts Mickelson and the mustache guy was pretty
- 1:10:04amazing, like them kind of like crashing, the plane crashing. I love
- 1:10:10that the plane just crashes, and that's a part of Italy, Laura.
- 1:10:13Now like Syracuse, the Battle of Syracuse ends with them like knocking a fucking
- 1:10:17plane out of the sky and like they shoot this they kind of do it
- 1:10:21in this like rewriting history way that Indy does that is so believable for the
- 1:10:28world. And I loved like the like arrows being strong enough to shoot through
- 1:10:32the plane and like killing the like pilots and shit, oh sorry, go
- 1:10:38ahead. I just thought all of that stuff was really cool and cool,
- 1:10:41like the like subplot of the kid being able to fly a plane. Yeah,
- 1:10:45I was gonna say that. I was like, oh my god,
- 1:10:46how do we forget? And then we can? But then what was hilarious
- 1:10:49is stealing the plane from a guy who's sleeping in also very Indiana Jones totally
- 1:10:56like aside Danny Mulrun who knows how to land the plane, and then like
- 1:11:00he lands in Syracuse with mountainous like fucking like totally, but I believed it.
- 1:11:04I believed it in an Indie way, and like, yeah, him
- 1:11:09kind of like getting knocked out and being brought back and him being allowed to
- 1:11:14have a happy ending feels like it's a nice thing to do. It's kind
- 1:11:19of feels like how they ended Part three going off into the sunset. It's
- 1:11:24like we don't know if we'll see Indie again, we probably won't. So
- 1:11:27like him grabbing the hat off of the rack, yeah, and it was
- 1:11:31doing a circle around the hat and then closing off. And but also in
- 1:11:35the one scene that Marian is in, I felt so much more love and
- 1:11:40believability than ever in the fourth one, I agree, which was like such
- 1:11:45a that's what made it such a missed opportunity for her to show up in
- 1:11:49the fourth one, Yeah, and do something with her, or like not
- 1:11:55have her at all and do it's something more with mud. It's sad that
- 1:11:59that's her, like a see because she kind of gets you know, what's
- 1:12:02what's the one from part two's name again? Oh Spielberg's ex wife or whatever?
- 1:12:09Yeah, I forget, but but no, but she did even in
- 1:12:13that one scene she did, she did, She did so much, and
- 1:12:16it was it's because so nice. It was so nice when he's like when
- 1:12:20she's like its kissing it here and here and it's like a reference then actual
- 1:12:27reference from the first one. That like felt so believable totally, And it's
- 1:12:30like the only thing that I begrudged a little bit is like then you know,
- 1:12:34if you're gonna use Marion Lore like at least make her somewhat more of
- 1:12:39a character. It is sort of like cathartic that we get her back,
- 1:12:44because, like the fourth one end did end on such a happy note,
- 1:12:47that this one's being bleak and sad to start out feels very like, oh
- 1:12:53no, what happened to Indy? But by the way, how did you
- 1:12:56guess? You know who played young Indiana Jones? Who his name is Anthony
- 1:13:02in Gruber. Who he played young Harrison Ford in another movie Wow. And
- 1:13:10he does he got that role because he does impressions and he does and he
- 1:13:15does an amazing impression of Wow of what's his name Harrison Ford? And is
- 1:13:21he the guy that has some videos about it? Yeah, yeah, he's
- 1:13:24that guy. He's amazing. Maybe I'll post some it's he's really good.
- 1:13:29But he played the like what's it called. He played the like like body
- 1:13:38acting and cool the body double on set for the d aged It's very cool
- 1:13:45because his voice and likeness was was amazing. You know, they look so
- 1:13:49much alike and soundlike Papa Clutch. Yeah, oh man, it was this
- 1:13:58This movie. This movie was really good. This movie is really good and
- 1:14:03like I think, oh by the way. He also played a separate character
- 1:14:10in the as a different guy in the hotel in one of the seasons.
- 1:14:15I think I remember where he where. They didn't need his body anymore,
- 1:14:18so they just threw him in. That's cool though, that's cool. I
- 1:14:23mean the future is now, Dude, Like we're getting now like actors who
- 1:14:26are playing like you know how like in certain countries there's like a French Schwartzy
- 1:14:31and he's always the same guy, dubs Schwartzy. Now we're getting like body
- 1:14:35actors for like d aged people totally, totally, I mean, and who
- 1:14:41better to do it for than Harrison Ford who is in these like big properties
- 1:14:44and stuff. Totally, but man, Harrison Ford having thick ass hair still,
- 1:14:48yeah, like gray old thick ass hair, his face like he's eighty,
- 1:14:54dude, that dude is fucking eighty, and he looks phenomenal, Like
- 1:14:58his face is intact, his face is there's no like, there's no George
- 1:15:01Joe Biden looking like a different human being. Joe Biden's body looks good though.
- 1:15:09People were making fun of him on Twitter recently and I was like,
- 1:15:12dude, like he's eight, he's eighty years old. He was on the
- 1:15:15beach, just like fucking standing and so and people were like, look at
- 1:15:20his body. It's like, bro, like you're a Trump supporter, What
- 1:15:23the fuck are you talking about? I mean, yeah, Trump anytime there's
- 1:15:27like body stuff, like it's weird. Trump like treats other people like out
- 1:15:30there's a world that's outside of him that he doesn't exist in or something.
- 1:15:33Yeah, like what he's like making fun of Chris Christie for being fat recently,
- 1:15:38You're like, fat, dude, what are you talking about? You're
- 1:15:41fat? Yeah, I mean you're also taller than Chris Christie. Yeah,
- 1:15:45so it like spreads out I guess more. But like they just like why
- 1:15:49would you do that? Like it just because he's a narcissist who doesn't give
- 1:15:53a shit humiliating it's so weird anyway. Okay, so let's talk about how
- 1:15:59many in ease we would give this. Would give this a ten out of
- 1:16:01ten. Yeah, I gotta say ten out of ten in terms of like
- 1:16:03acting, in terms of the movie, like I'd give it like a I'd
- 1:16:08give it an eight point five. I think five. Like I was I
- 1:16:13had such a good I was gonna say seven point but then I'm like,
- 1:16:15no, it's it's such an odd you want to punish it for no reason.
- 1:16:19I do. I do want to punish it for no reason. I
- 1:16:21think. I think that I think that the people need to like give themselves
- 1:16:26a chance with this movie, because I do think that eventually people will look
- 1:16:30back on this movie and be like that was pretty good, and like just
- 1:16:32like we looked back on Part four and we were like, that's not bad.
- 1:16:34It's not it's not a bad try for Indie. There were a couple
- 1:16:38of like total things that this movie rectified and then included weirdly, so like
- 1:16:43it made it more like it's the fact that this movie makes Part four better,
- 1:16:46makes this movie better. Yeah, totally. It feeds into the entire
- 1:16:50canon of the series. Yeah, it's like probably my third favorite. I
- 1:16:58would say it's my third favorite. I would say it's Part three, Part
- 1:17:00one, this one, Part two two, Part four, that's my that's
- 1:17:05my list. Totally, You're a manish. We had the exact same lists,
- 1:17:14the amazing performances, amazing indie actors, Salad Sala dead Mud, dead
- 1:17:20Mud, perfect, the perfect way to perfect role for Shila bo Is to
- 1:17:26be dead in this movie. It kind of is that's true because the movie
- 1:17:30went woke and it went broke, dude. But it went woke broke so
- 1:17:34hard it broke. This movie. Puzzle basically failed so hard and kind makes
- 1:17:42it amazing. I don't care. I'm so glad. It's because nobody's ever
- 1:17:45going to be like, oh that property again. But it ended perfectly.
- 1:17:49It ended perfectly. It failed at the box office, so they're never bringing
- 1:17:54it backs. The movie we deserve and it's the movie for our time,
- 1:17:57dude. And I think it's a good indie movie. I think it's I
- 1:18:01want to hear Throw Me the Whip's perspective and take. I mean, I
- 1:18:05think at this point, throw Me the Whip has seen this movie like five
- 1:18:12times, so he'll definitely and he also knows all the backlore and shit,
- 1:18:15like he was following all like the costume design shit. It's like they did
- 1:18:19it so seamlessly in this movie that you don't even notice it, you know,
- 1:18:23but they thought about all of that shit. Like her outfits are amazing,
- 1:18:29iconic, look weird, kind of like androgynous, iconic, look beautiful,
- 1:18:34beautiful stand in for non binary people. I think, like amazing movie.
- 1:18:40Toby Jones did an amazing job. Still my favorite part of the movie
- 1:18:44is a flashback the within the movie just beautiful, Yeah, which had never
- 1:18:50been done. The updated politics of the movie too. All Right, we're
