Tom is right there with Marion, falling under Belloq's spell. Unless she's not. Love, deception, and charred snake are in the air as our guest Doris Weiss coaches us on how to watch Raiders in Germany.
Marion must be into Belloq because she dismisses the chaperone and hides a knife so it doesn't make him nervous. Also, Gerry finds snakes at the DMV and Tom gets homework from our guest Doris Weiss!
Marion slips into something a little less comfortable and no one, not even our guest Reed Cavanah, handles it any better than Belloq, who at least slaps on cologne.
Raiders Minute 62: Rabbit Rabbit. How big is this desert? Where are we? And is Marion in a living nightmare? Our guest Reed Cavanah helps us evaluate Belloq's first-date skills. Bonus: Gerry says "rumpus" and "mischief."
Sallah is a good friend, Indy is--say it with us--a lousy archeologist, and Han Solo is in for a rude awakening as our guest Reed Cavanah helps us peer into the Well of Souls.
It takes finding the Well of Souls for Sallah to lose his marbles. But not his toes! John Ingle and Mitch Brian from the Alien Minute podcast join us under a Ten Commandments sky as we peer into the blackness of their final minute with us.
There's lightning in the sky (and on the Coruscant News Network) as we get another rendition of Raider's only musical number. And have you heard? There's a connection between this movie and Scrooge McDuck! Bonus: John Ingle and Mitch Brian from the Alien Minute podcast get us to obsess about movies even more than we already do!
A lot of talking and walking in the desert, but does this minute include the best single moment in the entire movie? John Ingle and Mitch Brian from the Alien Minute podcast think so. So does Christy! And Pete and Tom! We can't all be wrong!
Indy does what he does best and we couldn't be more disappointed in him. But then he does another thing he's good at and we love it. Ger was so disgusted with Indy, he didn't come back today, but Christy joins John Ingle and Mitch Brian from the Alien Minute podcast as we weigh some more of Pete's Han/Indy evidence!
Indy dodges a Nazi hall monitor and runs into Marion Ravenwood! How is she still alive?? Our guests this week, John Ingle and Mitch Brian from the Alien Minute podcast, sit us down and patiently explain that they musta switched the baskets.
What does God need with a light show? Why is Belloq digging in the wrong place? How is Indy so smoking hot? Our guest Kevin Maher invokes the Blues Brothers to help us understand.
Indy fulfills the chalkboard prophecy from earlier in the film as he places the Staff of Ra and marvels at the German graffiti, all of which reminds our guest Kevin Maher of a rightfully forgotten classic film.
Indy may not know much about archeology, but he sure knows how to play with sand. With the help of our guest Kevin Maher, we try hard not to touch our own hole jokes with a five-kadam pole.
What do you get the pharaoh who has everything, including the Ark of the Covenant? A confusing Map Room! Our returning guest Kevin Maher tries to dust the sand off our confusion while Pete explains what’s really going on with Sallah and those yelling Germans. And Gerry says "rumpus" again.
Indy hides a staff from Tom in plain sight as our guest Kevin Maher from Kevin Geeks Out joins us on our decent into the Map Room! Bonus(?): Pete and Gerry sing their favorite Egyptian dig tune.
Gerry's connection, like a bowl of dates, is slathered in poison sauce, but Pete lays down a nice groundwork for him to harmonize over, like a regular Indy and Sallah. And Prof. Christy Porter re-returns to help us pass final judgement on that monkey.
Doug Henning gives us our first good look at the headpiece to the Staff of Ra, which just brings up more questions than answers. Ger becomes a fashion critic, Tom gets all Hitchcock on Spielberg, and Pete blows our minds with a shocking truth about this movie. Meanwhile returning guest Paul Sullivan wants to know if our Act One monkey will become an Act Two monkey.
Gerry questions the art of sneaking, Pete doubts eyepatches, Tom defends a telescope, and with the help of guest Paul Sullivan we manage to work in references to Blade Runner, Shogun, The Bourne Identity, Doctor Who, Barry Lyndon, Apocalypse Now, and Ben and Jerry's.
Is there anything funnier than kids? Is there anyone more Zen than Sallah? Is there any way to understand a monkey? Can a guy who does a podcast every day find time to talk about Raiders? Our guest Paul Sullivan helps us find the answers!
All around the world, kids love to celebrate the Fourth of July with fireworks, cookouts, and saving Indiana Jones from a bar filled with gun-toting mercenaries. Meanwhile, returning guest and sister from another mister Christy Porter would like to get to know Belloq a little better.
Does burying a $100 watch in the sand for a thousand years mean you're missing the point of archeology? Our guest Steve Kreuch would tell us, but he’s busy tracking down monkey guns and phantom burps.
