a movie that I have watched over and over is Guardians of the Galaxy...never tire of this one

[@Lauria43]

Love the Indie movie coverage!! Make it 3 parts if needed, just keep em coming!

[@ezrawalker]

Always good to see your faces, blurry and otherwise. These movie discussions are a blast. :)

I saw Raiders of the Lost Ark the summer it came out. I was 6 years old and afraid of everything. My parents had seen the movie first and determined that it was appropriate for my sister (who was 9) and me to see. but , knowing that I was afraid of all the things, my mom had warned me that there was a sort of gruesome jumpscare towards the beginning of the movie and then another gruesome bit at the end. Not trusting that she would remember to warn me, I watched the entire beginning sequence of the movie with my hands over my eyes, peeking through my fingers. At the end, when Indy tells Marion to close her eyes, I closed my eyes and didn’t look again until my mom told me it was safe again. But I loved it so much and watched the “scary” scenes on my next viewing.

Toht is the Steve Bannon of movie villains lol

[@drbuckley1]

Marian was Indy's student. They had an inappropriate affair, alienating her father and college administrators. He appears as an adjunct, not a full professor for this reason.

[@Paul-vf2wl]

Don't think she was his student he just met her because he was close with Ravenwood but she was 15 or 16 so definitely inappropriate

[@drbuckley1]

@@Paul-vf2wl "It was wrong and you knew it!" she said to Indy.

[@donsample1002]

@@drbuckley1 The wrong begins with the age difference. Whether or not she was his student would only add to the wrongness.

[@davidcoleman757]

Ty and Wes doing Raiders? Pinch me.

[@jasonyoung5628]

I really like 1941, I've never thought of it as a "dud". There is a historic event in LA when civil defense people panicked and started a lot of shooting an imaginary planes. It's called the great los Angeles air raid, 24th to 25th of February, 1942.

[@zetetick395]

THANK YOU! 1941 is a great comedy! (And has Dan Ackroys & John Belushi, who would go on to be the Blues Brothers the next year) I have no idea why it didn't hit back then (just like Carpenters The Thing in '82) - but watching it now it's AWESOME fun! So nice to see Spielberg just do an all out comedy!

[@jeffstubblefield6818]

I was recently on a business trip. After checking in, I was in my room flipping through movies, mostly just looking for some "background noise" while I prepped for the following day. Raiders came up, so I hit play and sat down at the desk to review my notes. Nope. As soon as the Paramount logo morphed into the jungle mountain, I thought "yeah, bad choice" as I knew I wasn't about to get any work done and settled in for my ??th viewing. A few days after that, I was pleasantly surprised to see y'all talking about it on the podcast. One of the few perfect movies.

[@davids4610]

You guys had such a different first movie experience. The first movie my dad took me to as a small kid was The Great Dictator re-released and shown at a long gone movie palace called The RKO Keiths. N.B. I'm not that old, 57. I remember Chaplin playing with the globe like it was yesterday.

[@auslander808]

Raiders is ingrained in my youth. It came out when i was 9. Over the next year and half, I saw it, on the big screen, 27 1/2 times. (A drive-in was showing a double feature with Raiders followed by ET then Raiders again. I fell asleep during the 2nd showing.) Most kids got comic books, I got a bullwhip.

[@williamlloyd3769]

When Conan the Barbarian (1982) came out I had expectations that just didn’t pan out. Was it the script? Was it the pacing? Was it the evil Thulsa Doom antagonist character? Just fell short / flat compared to the ideas I read in Heavy Metal magazine. PS - The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the 8th Dimension (1984) was and is an overlooked gem!

[@monsterinhead214]

So waaht? Big deeel.

Love you guys - and The Expanse is the absolute best show ever made. Amazing creation!

[@OffRampTourist]

Enjoyed What We Do in the Shadows references and discussion. Haven't seen the series but love the movie. Usually watch it as second half of double feature with Only Lovers Left Alive, my favorite vampire movie.

[@davidw5993]

you absolutely must watch the series...the season one episode the trial will blow your mind if you love only lovers left alive lol

[@Pharadeaux]

@@davidw5993 Agreed, the humor is so good

[@drbuckley1]

"Dr. Jones, whatever are you doing in such a place?"

[@ssj4megaman]

More multipart episodes plz.

[@loganxart]

This is going to be good

[@Pharadeaux]

Yes Wes, you have to watch WWDITS show. The humor is so good.

[@charlesbeaudry3263]

I think that taken as a whole The Expanse has those thousand things right.

[@charlesbeaudry3263]

I got the answer from the guys.

[@charlesbeaudry3263]

My parents NEVER brought me to a movie :-( Six kids at home.

[@iolairdubh5644]

really a great discussion you guys are the best lol

[@shaggycan]

I still think Selleck would have been great. But on the other hand, I wish Magnum PI with Seleck was still being made. Season 42 man!

[@miller-joel]

There's already a deepfake video of Selleck as Indiana Jones. Look it up. I can't post links.

[@jamesrmore]

Where’s the link to the commentary you mentioned at @18’56” ? With screen test and Tom Selleck? Facebook…

[@davidcoleman757]

Can't wait for part 2...

[@charlesbeaudry3263]

I understand that ROTLA was modelled on the old adventure serials they made for the Matinees before television. Is that true?

[@ProfessD]

Thanks for the Temple of Doom love Wes!

[@darrenhardy9005]

Raiders is the best movie ever made

[@zetetick395]

Really enjoying these....I do have hope for the 20s in movies, after years of mediocre CGI noise-fests.

[@kulman4295]

What I am still not sure about is whether Ty thinks there is any fantastic world-building in this Indiana Jones movie, I wish he was clearer on this one 🌝

[@monsterinhead214]

what else have you got?

[@yensid4294]

Harrison Ford has a gruffness about hin & it gives Indy a bit of an edge. I think he would have been described as Ruggedly Hansome once upon a time. He aged very well 😊

[@semblt]

👍🏾

[@uncleelias]

I'm going to slightly disagree or maybe expand on what Ty is saying about the world building and 'reality' of the world Indiana Jones exists. In the 1970s and '80s I would say most people believed in magical 'stuff'. People still believed in Atlantis. Not just the quirky folks who believe in aliens building the pyramids, but by and large most people in the developed world. So when we saw a light sensitive switch which an ancient civilization have used as a trap, it was easy for us to think, yes, that actually was what the ancients could do. The Ark of the Covenant, was set in the minds of most people as magical without needing to have the previous hints of the extraordinary or supernatural.

[@Quotenwagnerianer]

I don't know what you call the developed world, but in my neck of the woods no one widely believed any of this to be true or possible. But we also confused the U.S. to be a part of the developed world. That this is a lie we slowly began to realize in the last 30 years. ;)

[@uncleelias]

@@Quotenwagnerianer I'm talking about in the 1970s and 1980s. I'm multi-ethnic and multi-national born in the '60s and was influenced by people who were interested in wide range of interests. You may not be aware but something as broadly accepted as plate tectonics was still being learned about in the 70s. Evolution was not accepted by the overwhelming majority of people around the world. This was true even in Europe. If you don't believe me, just try to find old televised debates and conversations from that time.

[@marcB420]

great show 🥰

[@thomasmills339]

What about Bellach? ( Sp?) His French rival. Who takes the idol off him?

[@Paul-vf2wl]

I think he just sells it

[@Dynnen]

Wes out here pretending that he isn't "An every man" and handsome at the same time ;)

[@Browncoat66]

Wes, the guy drinking with Marion is AUSTRALIAN not Austrian.

Should be good.

look at all those dead pixels. at least i hope its dead pixels.

[@shaggycan]

They are making a Dungeons and Dragons film right now. The film they need to match is Conan the Barbarian. That's what they need to shoot for. Because currently Conan is the best D&D film ever made.

[@Paul-vf2wl]

Seventh Voyage of Sinbad is another example of a good D&D movie
