Episode 269: Good Movie Podcast?: Episode 08: Indiana Jones and The Temple of Doom (1984)

Good Movie Podcast? reconvenes to the realms of archelogy and adventure with Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom (1984). Dr. Indiana Jones returns with some new friends, the spunky kid Short Round and the anything but outdoorsy, lounge singer "Willie" Scott. This unlikely trio is thrown from Shanghai to India on a mystical voyage to bring prosperity back to the downtrodden, recover some sacred stones, and take down a once-thought extant blood-thirsty cult. This Spielberg summer block buster sequel is quite important to both Dan and Jonathan but will it feel more like a wildly fun minecart ride or just some "snake surprise." It might be for fortune and glory, but maybe, just maybe we will discover something much deeper in this booby trapped labyrinth. We keep telling you that if you listen to this podcast you will live longer.
