Podcasts about Lost Ark

We delve into the story of Samuel and the decline of Eli's household. Samuel, dedicated to Yahweh by his mother Hannah, grows up in the Tabernacle under the mentorship of Eli. Despite Eli's attempts to guide them, his sons live wickedly, leading to God's judgment on their family. Samuel receives a divine call, foretelling the downfall of Eli's house. The prophecy is fulfilled during a battle with the Philistines, where Eli's sons die and the Ark of the Covenant is captured. Eli himself dies upon hearing the news, marking the end of his leadership.Support the showRead along with us in the Bible Brief App!

Hello and welcome to the first day of the rest of your life. today we are going to explain to you why you have been wrong your entire life. You have been living a lie. The takeaway from this episode is that Temple of doom is the movie that raiders should have been. It is faster paced, funnier and has a more light hearted tone (despite the dark subject matter)

  Steven Spielberg is one of the best filmmakers of all time. Jaws, E.T. Raiders of the Lost Ark, Jurassic Park, Schindler’s List, and Saving Private Ryan are bona fide classics. But it’s...

This week on Bad Dads Film Review, the dads head into deep space for Project Hail Mary — a Ryan Gosling-led Andy Weir adaptation about astrophage, reluctant heroism, alien engineering, musical communication and the most loveable rock-spider in modern sci-fi.What we coveredThe return to Podcast Mountain after a week off, with Sidey explaining why recent recording plans went slightly sideways.Sidey and Reegs seeing The Streets at Alexandra Palace, immediately considering Iceland, and generally having a far better time than Sidey later had in Malta.Malta being very hot, not especially relaxing, and a strong avoid unless you are on the picturesque ferry to Gozo.Family hotel movie nights, including a MonsterVerse run and the crushing parental disappointment of Raiders of the Lost Ark being switched off for being boring.Ryan Gosling news from Comic-Con, including Ghost Rider, Star Wars, and whether anyone can make Ghost Rider look good on screen.Gosling's range: Only God Forgives, Lars and the Real Girl, The Gray Man, blockbuster charm and oddball credibility.Andy Weir, The Martian, and why the dads respond to optimistic science-problem movies where clever people solve practical disasters.The central crisis: astrophage is eating the Sun's energy, reducing solar output and threatening Earth.The Hail Mary mission as humanity's last desperate throw, sent to Tau Ceti because that system appears mysteriously resistant to the astrophage problem.Ryland Grace waking from stasis with no memory, dead crewmates, a HAL-like computer and a beard that suggests deep-space personal care needs work.The flashbacks revealing Grace as a molecular biologist turned school teacher recruited by Eva Stratt to help understand astrophage.The moral ugliness of Grace not volunteering for the suicide mission, then being sedated and sent anyway after the intended crew are killed.The grim Earthside stakes: collapsing sunlight, food-chain panic, frightened children and governments handing Stratt extraordinary power.First contact with Rocky, the engineer from Erid whose own planet is facing the same astrophage disaster.Rocky's musical language, the translation process, and the dads' comparison with Close Encounters of the Third Kind.The two-ship friendship: different atmospheres, pressure barriers, xenonite tunnels and two scientists learning to trust each other through diagrams and experiments.Rocky's look: rock-like, spider-like, toy-like and somehow instantly endearing.The discovery of taumoeba, the organism that eats astrophage and offers a possible solution for both Earth and Erid.Rocky saving Grace at huge personal risk, then Grace choosing to use his remaining fuel to save Rocky when he realises Rocky's ship is in danger.The film's optimistic message: cooperation across species, cultures and worlds is the only thing that saves anyone.Grace ending up on Erid, teaching alien children about Earth, and the dads enjoying the full-circle return to teaching.The reported $200 million budget, worldwide box office heading toward $700 million, UK-built Hail Mary sets, and Gosling's likely “double bubble” as star and producer.Key moments / quotesSidey says “hopes were high for Project Hail Mary” because of the Gosling/Andy Weir pedigree.Dan explains the title through American football: the last desperate throw into the end zone.The dads note that Grace “didn't fucking volunteer”, which makes Earth's plan morally spicy even if the stakes are existential.Rocky's musical tones immediately bring Close Encounters to mind.The group enjoy the idea of a sci-fi film built around “scientist guy figuring shit out”.Cris appreciates that the film is warmer and more colourful than the bleaker spaceship sci-fi he usually struggles with.Sidey reads the Grace/Rocky relationship as a story about different worlds working together on the same problem.Cris highlights the happy ending, the little rock children and the satisfying “don't go back / actually he should go back” emotional turn.Sidey notes the film has done serious box office business against a huge production budget.The final verdict lands simply: “Strong? Strong. Strong. Yeah. Strong.”VerdictThe dads give Project Hail Mary a unanimous strong recommend. They respond to the Andy Weir problem-solving structure, Ryan Gosling's easy likeability, the film's optimistic tone, and especially Rocky — an alien sidekick/friend/co-scientist who turns the film from simple survival story into something warmer and more memorable.It is big-budget, accessible sci-fi with a hopeful streak: funny, emotional, smart enough to feel satisfying, and powered by the very Bad Dads-friendly idea that cooperation beats panic, even when the Sun is being eaten.You can now text us anonymously to leave feedback, suggest future content or simply hurl abuse at us.

Snakes! Why does it have to be snakes!! BROS, we're rereleasing our episode all about a true cinema classic, a summer blockbuster, the blueprint for the modern adventure film and the source of nerd-with-a-whip-and-a-hat crushes the world over -- Raiders of the Lost Ark! Along the way, we discuss questionable age gaps, what exactly does belong in a museum, and the enduring fabulousness of character actor Alfred Molina!

Raiders of the Lost Ark sits us at the intersection of everything we've been talking about in this show, so we talked about it for our pen-penultimate episode (There are two more episodes). Somehow, Corbin hasn't seen it before this. Our next episode is about 'Safe,' from 1995, the Todd Haynes one. I think it's on TUBi? Not the Statham one. Not that we don't like Jason Statham.

On episode 350 of The AwardsWatch Podcast, Executive Editor Ryan McQuade is joined by AwardsWatch Editor-In-Chief Erik Anderson and AwardsWatch contributor Josh Parham to go back 45 years and take a look at the 54th Academy Awards, covering the films of 1981. The AW team goes back nearly fifty years to a year dominated by a group of young men running on the beach to the score of Vangelis, as Chariots of Fire took down Reds and Raiders of the Lost Ark to win Hollywood's top prize. In the same year, the four acting Oscars went to some of the eldest group of winners in Oscar history, performers who won late in their careers instead of for their best work. In this year at the theaters, genre reigned supreme and was discussed at length on this episode, with films like Escape from New York, The Road Warrior, Body Heat, An American Werewolf in London, Dragonslayer, Excalibur, Polyester were discussed alongside films like Arthur, The Great Muppet Caper, Thief, Blow Out, Mommie Dearest, Prince of the City as films to highlight from this bountiful year of cinema. In their in-depth discussion, the AW team talked about the film year of 1981, briefly discuss talk about Chariots of Fire as a Best Picture winner, and how that speaks to the legacy of their nominates and or wins, do an extensive conversation over the below the line categories and nominees for the year, and then the new version of the AW Shoulda Woulda Coulda game, where instead of individual replacements, they must decide as a group who the nominees and winners should be in the top eight categories. The rules of the game state they can only replace two of the nominees that year from each category, except in Best Picture, where the group could replace up to three films to make up the final set of five nominated films. Like past retrospective episodes, it was a fascinating, fun conversation including spirited debates, alliances, vote swinging, celebrating various movies, performances that aren't normally talked about and more that we all hope you enjoy.

Steven Spielberg is the master of the summer blockbuster. His 1975 classic "Jaws" is credited as the first big summer movie in film history, and films from "Raiders of the Lost Ark" to "Saving Private Ryan" are among his most loved summer films. Spielberg is also noted for his science-fiction films that explore the possibilities of life beyond our planet, such as "E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial" and "Close Encounters of the Third Kind." Building on this legacy, he returns this summer with "Disclosure Day," which explores what would happen if the existence of aliens were revealed to the world. In this episode, the conversation shifts from Spielberg's filmography to the latest release, as co-hosts Bruce Miller and Terry Lipshetz talk about the film. They note that while it is good, it does not live up to the hype that comes with a Spielberg film. However, as mentioned in this week's episode, the worst Spielberg film is still going to be better than just about anything else. The hosts also discuss the New York Knicks finally winning an NBA title before looking ahead to the release of "Toy Story 5." About the show Streamed & Screened is a podcast about movies and TV hosted by Bruce Miller, a longtime entertainment reporter who is the retired editor of the Sioux City Journal in Iowa and Terry Lipshetz, managing editor of the National Newsroom for Lee Enterprises based in Madison, Wisconsin. The show was named Best Podcast in the 2025 Iowa Better Newspaper Contest. Theme music Thunder City by Lunareh, used under license from Soundstripe. YouTube clearance: FV694ULMCJQDG0IY

Two swords forged in the land of the Philistines. Two kings. One throne. And a literary motif so intricate that scholars have been misreading it for generations.The death of King Saul at Mount Gilboa is one of the most dramatic moments in the Old Testament. But what most people don't realize is that a misinterpretation of the archaeological evidence at Beth Shean has distorted how scholars understand what happened to Saul's body, his armor, and his sword after his death. The text doesn't say what we've been told it says. And once that mistake is corrected, an entire narrative thread running through 1 Samuel 13 to 31 suddenly comes into focus.In this episode of The Dig In Podcast, Johnny Ova sits down with Dr. Chris McKinny, Associate Professor of Biblical Archaeology at Lipscomb University's Lanier Center for Archaeology, senior staff archaeologist at the Tel Burna project in Israel, co-host of the Biblical World Podcast, and on-screen host of the upcoming feature documentary Legends of the Lost Ark. Dr. McKinny has spent over a decade excavating in the land of the Bible and his research on the death of Saul reveals one of the most sophisticated literary devices in all of ancient literature.Together we explore the full arc of David's rise and Saul's fall, including:- Why the only two swords in Israel belonged to Saul and Jonathan and what that means for the narrative- How Goliath's sword becomes a story device that tracks David's entire journey from shepherd to king- The real reason Saul's armor and head were not taken to Beth Shean but to the land of the Philistines- What archaeologists got wrong about Beth Shean and the Philistine temple identification- How the sword motif connects to the Ark of the Covenant as part of a larger literary structure- Why David never used the sword against Saul and how the narrative builds that restraint into the climax- The significance of Nob, the tabernacle, and the sword of Goliath waiting for David- How the geography of the Jezreel Valley, the Shephelah, and the coastal plain shaped the entire conflict- What Judah the Hammer's sword in 1 Maccabees reveals about how ancient readers understood this motif- How this corrected reading elevates the biblical authors as world-class storytellersThis conversation takes us into the archaeology, the geography, and the literary genius of the biblical authors in ways most readers have never considered.Check out Dr. Chris McKinny's work:Legends of the Lost Ark (in theaters April 12, 14, and 15, 2026): https://www.legendsofthelostark.com/Biblical World Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/biblical-world/id1566455453Stay connected with The Dig In Podcast and Subscribe.Website: https://johnnyova.com/Subscribe on Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@thejohnnyovaGet a copy of Johnny's latest book about the book of Revelation: https://a.co/d/02v5yH7A

The most famous lost object in history — the Ark of the Covenant — vanished from Scripture before 586 BC and was never seen again. Jimmy Akin and Dom Bettinelli examine what it was, trace its history, and weigh nine theories for where it went.

Roy Neary (Oscar-winner Richard Dreyfuss) was just a mild-mannered Indiana family man working for the power company.  Until one evening while out on the job.....he had an encounter with an unfamiliar being blasting brilliant light into the night sky.  What results for Roy is an increasingly bizarre descent into madness as he not only feels drawn towards seking out these otherworldy beings but also begins to alienate his wife (Teri Garr) and family in the process.  And he's not the only one: there's also Jillian Guiler (Oscar nominee Melinda Dillon) who is also drawn towards seeking out these strange, new visitors.  Both of their journeys eventually lead them Devil's Tower in Wyoming where these "visitors" might be headed.  Also eventually heading this way are two curious scientists (Francois Truffaut, Bob Balaban) who have been trying to figure out the best way to communicate with these extra terrestrials.  It all adds up to a transcendant experience and one of THE greatest films from one of our greatest living directors, Two-time Oscar-winner Steven Spielberg (Schindler's List, Raiders of the Lost Ark, ET) as his direct follow-up to the singular phenomenon which was Jaws. See below for a link to an extended sequence added to the 1980 "Special Edition" of this film, referred to within this review:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gqiSIaia-k4&t=197sHost & Editor: Geoff GershonProducer: Marlene Gershon Send us Fan MailSupport the showhttps://livingforthecinema.com/Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/Living-for-the-Cinema-Podcast-101167838847578Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/livingforthecinema/Letterboxd:https://letterboxd.com/Living4Cinema/

People have been arguing about the greatest action film ever made since cinema first discovered that explosions, car chases and impossible heroes could pack audiences into theatres.

Joined by some of our Friends of the Podcast – Ariannah, JDG, Aashrey, Paul Komorowski and the horseshoe himself, JDG – we've loaded up 32 of the greatest action films ever made into one winner-takes-all knockout tournament. Expect impossible choices, heartbreaking upsets, blockbuster heavyweight clashes, a few controversial calls, and enough gunfire, one-liners and practical explosions to level an entire city as we crown the Best Action Film of All Time.

Ro gets together with fellow collector Ray (@Tresob) to talk exit strategy. What do we do with all this junk? We've all spent some time amassing our own Raiders of the Lost Ark warehouse full of collectibles, but have we learned to be more precise or disciplined in our purchases? We've spent decades buying stuff we love, but why, and what happens towards the end? A very poignant and fascinating discussion. We reference two articles that talk about just that, which we'll post below. Take a read and tell us what you think. It's a discussion where we seem to psychoanalyze each other into seeing if indeed we have a 'problem'. Hope you enjoy this discussion.

If you are as obsessive as I am, I go crazy when I can't find something.  It drives me nuts.  I will search far and wide and I am a man on a mission until this object is found.  I think there is something about the human mind that naturally gravitates toward finding the lost - like lost treasure.  People have crossed deserts, financed expeditions, started wars, and ruined their lives trying to find things that may not even exist anymore.  But there's one object that stands above all of them.  The Ark of the Covenant.  Not because it was worth money, but because of what it represented.  God's Presence.  History.  Proof even!  And maybe that's why people have spent over 2,500 years trying to find it.  Movies turned it into legend.  Historians turned it into mystery. And ever since Raiders of the Lost Ark gave us the line, “They're digging in the wrong place”, people have been convinced the Ark is still out there somewhere - hidden, buried, waiting to be discovered.  Some say it's beneath Jerusalem.  Others say elsewhere.  But one man, in 1982, said, “I found it.”  So today on The Missing Chapter, we're diving into one of history's greatest unsolved mysteries - the search for the Ark of the Covenant.  The only solution to a story so wild and controversial is more coffee.  Caffeine up, everyone, this is going to be a crazy one.  Welcome to the Missing Chapter.Want some Missing Chapter merchandise?

Cathy and Todd continue their summer blockbusters series with Raiders of the Lost Ark, the George Lucas and Steven Spielberg collaboration born from a beach conversation in Hawaii, diving into the film’s origins, iconic casting (Tom Selleck almost got the role), and the chaotic Tunisia shoot where nearly the entire cast and crew got food poisoning. They rank history’s oddest movie titles, wrestle with the film’s deeply uncomfortable Marion subplot, and close out with why Raiders still holds up as a masterclass in humble heroism and why Indy wins in the end by simply closing his eyes.

Raiders of the Lost Ark introduced audiences to the whip-cracking archaeologist Indiana Jones, while For Your Eyes Only continued the long-running adventures of James Bond. We examine what makes each hero unique and why both characters have remained cultural icons for decades.   The discussion covers everything from memorable villains and supporting characters to action sequences, music, exotic locations, and the lasting influence of both films. Along the way, Jay and Shua make the case for their chosen champion while also giving credit to what the opposing film does exceptionally well, resulting in a fun and spirited celebration of adventure cinema.   Did you see both of these 1981 movies?
