In 1981, George Lucas and Steven Spielberg whipped up a weird
Bible film where a surly, pedophile grave robber tries to beat
the Nazis to gain possession of a chest that holds the remains of
the Ted Commandments in order to speak directly to God. And it’s
a kid’s movie!
The first in the "Indiana Jones" film franchise, "Raiders of the
Lost Ark" kicked off sequels, prequels, dozens of ripoffs, pop
culture staples, and is something we all loved as kids, but
forgot to stop pretending is a masterpiece.
We cover the rolling boulders, the shot Arab Swordsman, the
propeller-diced giant Nazi, the spy monkey, the Headpiece to the
Staff of Ra, the riding on top of a German U-boat nonsense, the
impossible magic snakes, the burned palms used as a map, the
one-man army that is Harrison Ford, and the words written on
eyelids by coeds.
Join us as we discuss Indy and Marion's, um, "complicated"
"romantic" history, how this movie created "Home Alone," and how
dumb it was that Playgirl magazine tried to pretend it was aimed
at women.
Here's the trailer of that Joe Pesci Harvard bum movie "With
Honors" that we talked about in the episode.
