   RBR #154: “Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom: A Heartfelt Adventure”

   Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom. Where the adventure is bigger, the villains are nastier, and apparently open-heart surgery is just part of the itinerary. Fortune. Glory. Ancient cults. Monkey brains. One extremely hands-on medical procedure. It’s darker, weirder, and considerably more unhinged than anyone asked for—and somehow, it’s still a family movie. And as a bonus, we are joined once again by Jeff McGee and Pam Johnston. They share their insights on Temple of Doom– as well as exciting news about their new project: “31 Days of Halloween: A Spooky Advent Calendar.” ----more---- Thank you so much for listening!

   RBR #153: “Raiders of the Lost Ark: Bad Archaeology, Great Movie”

   Raiders of the Lost Ark is what happens when archaeology, Nazi-hunting, supernatural artifacts, and spectacularly poor decision-making collide. In this episode, we return to our Steven Spielberg series to revisit this classic adventure, take a look at Indiana Jones at his most reckless, and explore why the movie still absolutely rules—even when its hero is basically committing felony-level archaeology. ----more---- Thank you so much for listening!
