Raiders of the Lost Ark 45th Anniversary Special
<p>If you’ve listened to our show for any sustained amount of time, you’ve probably heard me play a tiny snippet of the Indiana Jones theme anytime Greg brings up our favorite archaeologist adventurer. It comes as no surprise, then, that we will take any excuse we can to talk about one of the five franchise installments. And this year marks the 45th anniversary of the first, Raiders of the Lost Ark. We go down memory lane for a bit, share our personal favorites (characters, scenes, etc.), and then discuss loftier notions such as nostalgia, genre, and Indy’s legacy in cinematic history. Unlike the Nazis, we’re digging in the right place. </p><p>(Oh, and listen to find out the story behind the amazing artwork below.)</p><p>Image Credit: the illustrious <a target="_blank" href="http://www.stephmarcus.com/home.html">Steph Marcus</a>, circa 1999</p><p><strong>You can listen to The Long Take Review on Substack, Spotify, Apple, YouTube, or </strong><a target="_blank" href="https://linktr.ee/thelongtakereview?lt_utm_source=lt_share_link#316823406"><strong>wherever you get your podcasts</strong></a><strong>.</strong></p><p>All music licensed through Epidemic Sound.</p><p>Logo art: Illustration <a target="_blank" href="https://www.dreamstime.com/stock-illustration-cat-movie-theater-eating-popcorn-cute-cartoon-character-film-show-cinema-background-viewer-kitten-watching-red-seats-hall-image73265080">73265080</a> © <a target="_blank" href="https://www.dreamstime.com/worldofvector_info">Worldofvector</a> | <a target="_blank" href="https://www.dreamstime.com/stock-photos">Dreamstime.com</a></p> <br/><br/>Get full access to The Long Take at <a href="https://thelongtake.substack.com/subscribe?utm_medium=podcast&utm_campaign=CTA_4">thelongtake.substack.com/subscribe</a>

Toy Story 5 Review
<p>Pixar films, and especially those in the Toy Story franchise, have always excelled at pitching to both kids and adults. Toy Story 5 takes that feature to the next level by tackling issues on every parent’s mind: screen time, devices, and Internet safety. As both parents of grade school kids and teachers of college students, Greg and I really ran with this topic and the film’s treatment of in it in our discussion. We share our prior relationship to the franchise, compare this fifth installment to the previous ones, and share what moved us and what made us laugh. </p><p>We go into SPOILER MODE at the 25:13 minute mark. If spoilers are not a part of your daily weather forecast, you can listen safely until then.</p><p>Image Credit: NPR</p><p><strong>You can listen to The Long Take Review on Substack, Spotify, Apple, YouTube, or </strong><a target="_blank" href="https://linktr.ee/thelongtakereview?lt_utm_source=lt_share_link#316823406"><strong>wherever you get your podcasts</strong></a><strong>.</strong></p><p>All music licensed through Epidemic Sound.</p><p>Logo art: Illustration <a target="_blank" href="https://www.dreamstime.com/stock-illustration-cat-movie-theater-eating-popcorn-cute-cartoon-character-film-show-cinema-background-viewer-kitten-watching-red-seats-hall-image73265080">73265080</a> © <a target="_blank" href="https://www.dreamstime.com/worldofvector_info">Worldofvector</a> | <a target="_blank" href="https://www.dreamstime.com/stock-photos">Dreamstime.com</a></p> <br/><br/>Get full access to The Long Take at <a href="https://thelongtake.substack.com/subscribe?utm_medium=podcast&utm_campaign=CTA_4">thelongtake.substack.com/subscribe</a>

Disclosure Day Review
<p>The truth is really out there! This week on the show we talk about Steven Spielberg’s latest cinematic statement on extraterrestrial life, Disclosure Day. In theaters now, the science fiction thriller is full of intense chase sequences, inexplicable phenomena, and an astonishing performance from Emily Blunt; all of that prompted us to over-analyze, over-interpret, under-critique (if we’re being honest), and parse the polarized response to the film. Before we get into our discussion of Disclosure Day, we check on our 2026 Movie Hype Draft rosters to see who has taken the lead or fallen behind in the wake of release announcements and the Cannes Film Festival. </p><p>Also, check out <a target="_blank" href="https://substack.com/home/post/p-202191971">Greg’s written review</a> of Disclosure Day on his own Substack. </p><p>We go into SPOILER MODE at the 45:43 minute mark.
