In 1982, two Mississippi boys recreated a $22m film, shot-for-shot, on their pocket money. Chris Strompolos and Eric Zala were aged 10 and 11. Their mission would take them seven years to complete, and it would push their friendship to the edge. There'd be amateur stunts, fires, visits to the emergency ward, production shut down by angry parents and many fallouts. It would swallow them whole. But decades later a lost tape would be unearthed, bringing Eric and Chris back together for their final scene and face-to-face with one of their heroes.

Back in 1981, the action-adventure movie Raiders Lost Ark was a fan favorite for many. But the ultimate fans were a teenage trio who kind of took it a little bit further.At age 12 and 11, in the summer of 1981, our guest today, director, Eric Zala, and friends devoted what turned out to be seven years of their childhood to shooting a shot-by-shot adaptation of Steven Spielberg's, Raiders of the Lost Ark. Driven only by their fandom with no idea about editing, sound, or movie making, Eric, Chris Strompolos, and Jayson Lamb finished the film (except for the blown-up plane scene) and even had a hometown premiere.Years later, after studying at NYU film school, Eli Roth got a hold of a copy of the film, showed it to Steven Spielberg, and the rest is history. The guys decided to finalize the project with their new recognition by shooting the final scene they had abandoned.Director Jeremy Coon and Tim Skousen joined them to document their adventure. In 2015, The Raider! The Story Of The Greatest Fan Film Made documentary was released.Eric has credits on other films like An Early Twilight (1993) and Medal of Honor: Rising Sun (2003). After all these years, Eric's start to indie filmmaking remains a fascinating dream-coming-through story. It was hilarious hearing about the making Raiders adaptation and their parents' reactions. Enjoy my entertaining conversation with Eric Zala.

As a kid in 1982, CHRIS STROMPOLOS set out to recreate Raiders of the Lost Ark, shot-for-shot, in his backyard. Now in his adulthood, Chris works in effects production and reflects on how his childhood project has become a global cult classic. Here in Mindspace, Chris and Geoff Boucher discuss: how do you express fandom before the concept of "fandom" exists? What "unnatural" portals open when you re-encounter people and passions from your childhood? What's the future of Indiana Jones? It's a conversation between - dare we say it - top men.

When 12-year-old Eric Zala connected with his classmate Chris Strompolos over a shared love for Indiana Jones, he had no idea how a simple idea would change his life. Together, they embarked on a 7-year mission to recreate the Steven Spielberg blockbuster Raiders of the Lost Ark scene for scene. From setting himself on fire, to a dramatic filmmakers feud, he took us behind the scenes of the cult favorite adaptation that ultimately earned the praise of Spielberg himself.

Jason Cousineau and Eric Fisk remember September 11th, 2001, and how that specific day brought out the best and the worst of The United States and changed the way we saw the world and our own government forever. A Federal Court vindicated Edward Snowden and said that the NSA's monitoring and storing American Citizen's phone data was illegal - a practice that we highly doubt they've stopped. If anything, with modern technology the National Security Agency has probably expanded that program and is actually storing more than just your phone data such as who you called and when... Then we discuss The Sergeant Bespin Memo about man-made flying objects that defy our conventional understanding and application of aeronautics and the implications. And a message from Chris Strompolos about "Raiders! The Story of the Greatest Fan Film Ever Made" leaving Netflix and how you can get your own copy of the documentary directly from him via his Facebook store, Venmo, Paypal and Zelle.

Em 1982, três garotos de 11 anos de idade do Mississippi decidiram refilmar “Indiana Jones e os Caçadores da Arca Perdida”. Eles levaram sete turbulentos anos que testaram sua determinação, intensificaram sua amizade e quase incendiaram a casa de seus pais. Eles completaram todas as cenas, com exceção de uma… a cena do avião. 33 anos depois, os amigos se reúnem para finalmente terminar o sonho de infância. Mas é mais fácil filmar um filme inteiro como crianças… ou uma cena como adultos? FICHA TÉCNICA DO DOCUMENTÁRIO

Today marks the return of The Brad Gilmore Show! Brad welcomes Eric Zala of Raiders of the Lost Ark: The Adaptation. In 1982, in Ocean Springs, Mississippi, Chris Strompolos, eleven, asked Eric Zala, twelve, a question: “Would you like to help me do a remake Raiders of the Lost Ark?  I'm playing Indiana Jones.” And they did it. Every shot, every line of dialogue, every stunt. They borrowed and collected costumes, convinced neighborhood kids to wear grass skirts and play natives, cast a fifteen-year-old as Indys love interest, rounded up seven thousand snakes (sort of), built the Ark, the Idol, the huge boulder, found a desert in Mississippi, and melted the bad guys faces off.   Today's show sponsored by: Loot Crate, click the link to save 10% Follow The Raiders Guys on Twitter: @RadiersGuys Buy "The Adaption" & "RAIDERS!": http://www.raidersguys.com/all-products Follow ME on Twitter: @BradGilmore

Derek digs into the archives to release this encore presentation of his chat with the creators of Raiders of the Lost Ark: The Adaptation, first released in January 2017. Filmmakers Eric Zala and Chris Strompolos chat with Derek about growing up in Mississippi, how their love of Raiders of the Lost Ark caused them to become friends, the process of making their Raiders fan film, finishing the movie many years later, funny on-set moments, and more!

Chris Strompolos is the star of a fantastic new Netflix documentary  called "Raiders: The Greatest Fan Film Ever Made". His story has Passion & Purpose written all over it. At the age of 11, after seeing Raiders of the Lost Ark, Chris decided to remake the film shot for shot and dedicated the next 8 years of his life to achieving his goal. And then... He grew up. Moving on to more adult pursuits such as getting a job, getting married, having a baby. Until a tape emerged of his little fan film and it ended up being seen by the likes of Harry Knowles, Quentin Tarantino, Eli Roth, and the grandmasters: Steven Spielberg and George Lucas themselves. And suddenly, Chris found himself putting the costume on once again and diving back into his childhood passion. But as Chris learned, returning to your original childhood passion isn't all roses.
