Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom | How Stories Work
Why we have a PG-13 rating: TEMPLE OF DOOM! In preparation for Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny, I'm re-watching all the Indiana Jones content! That means all four movies plus The Adventures of Young Indiana Jones (formerly known as "The Young Indiana Jones Chronicles"). Today, we're talking about Temple of Doom. Topics include: Does this film get too silly? What do you think about Temple of Doom's intro? Was it smart to move from a Judeo-Christian relic to Hindu artifacts? Leave your thoughts in the comments below or on the OrangeGrove55 YouTube channel! My apologies regarding the clipping noises in this episode. Not sure why it recorded that way!
