In this episode Troy swings across an abyss of exposition, Mike dodges impossibly resistant refrigerators as they both whip their way through the review of Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull.
Hot new release movie coming at you fresh off the resurrected legacy sequel pipeline. We saw Dial of Destiny opening night and recorded our thoughts just for you because we love you. How does Indy 5 stack up against the other films in the series? Is it as disappointing as the Cannes critics said it was? And what exactly is this Dial of Destiny?All these burning questions will be answered! We don't get into heavy spoilers until around 42 minutes in, so don't be scared to listen to the first chunk of the show if you haven't seen the movie yet. To sum up our thoughts: it's not that bad! And it has a genuinely surprising and effective ending.Join us next week for our new franchise: Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. No anchovies! This episode is dedicated to the memory of Lt. Col. Mutt Williams, KIA.
Dom takes a look back at the most divisive entry in the Indiana Jones franchise, the kingdom of the crystal skull.
On the latest episode of Breaking Canon, we're discussing the fourth and final film in the Indiana Jones series (until 2023, anyway), The Kingdom of the Crystal Skull! We talk about the twenty year gap between Indy's third and fourth adventure, and argue whether it's the years or the mileage slowing down Harrison Ford's whip-cracking archeologist. Later in the show, we discuss the infamous fridge-nuking, Shia LaBeouf's Mutt Williams, the return of Karen Allen's Marion, and whether the titular interdimensional artifact at the center of Indy's latest adventure is a natural fit with the rest of the series. All of this and more as we break down the final Steven Spielberg-directed, George Lucas-produced entry in the revered franchise!

This week's advertised content is an experiment two months in the making--the realization of a thought experiment from a previous episode. After recording our Raiders of the Lost Ark episode, we decided that revisiting the latest Indiana Jones installment, Kingdom of the Crystal Skull was in order, as we had panned it so hard. We both saw the film when it was released in 2008 and neither of us had revisited it until this week.So, this week we went into this episode ready to destroy it. Did we? Did we not? Who's to say? Click and listen in to our thoughts on Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, starring Harrison Ford (duh), Kate Blanchett, Karen Allen, Shia LeBouf, and John Herd. In this installment to the franchise, Indy is recruited by newcomer Mutt Williams to help find his mother and mutual friend Professor Oxley from a KGB scientist seeking a mythical artifact. Welcome to The Plotaholics Podcast, the podcast that dares to ask: "Was Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull unfairly maligned and unnecessarily derided? Or was the backlash toward the film ultimately justified?" Find out now!Support the show (https://plotaholics.com)

Movie Meltdown - Episode 525 This episode we try to see if it's possible to - fix the Crystal Skull. The fourth installment in the Indiana Jones franchise has frustrated fans since it's initial release. So we start with our on-going recasting question... could something as simple as recasting the role of Mutt Williams save this movie? But then we start to ask even bigger questions like... what if Indy and Marion had a daughter? And what if we remove the alien plot completely? Would fans have been happy? And what artifact would Indy be looking for? Listen as we try to figure out - just what it would take to fix the Crystal Skull! And while we wish we were climbing around in a tomb, we also mention… Marvel Comics, a CG monkey, Karen Allen, Area 51, cracking open the plastic, The History Channel, The Chronicles of Narnia, David Childress, creating the story arc, Stranger Things, Shia LaBeouf, Hitler, grabbing a snake, memorable and interesting, Lara Croft, Harrison Ford, Taken, recasting, animated series, Solo, Sallah, archaeology, an extra level of research, George Lucas, passing the torch, socs vs. greasers, John Hurt, Forrest Gump, stunt casting, Horizon Zero Dawn, all kinds of Jesus, from a divided household, Cate Blanchett, quotable lines, Marcus, the Bond franchise, Michael Bay, campy things, Steven Spielberg, The Young Indiana Jones Chronicles, It, the object of desire, nuking the fridge, The Teen Choice Awards and Project MKUltra. “There’s elements there that are true throughout the other three movies, so what is it about this one that almost across the board people are like… I hate that movie!”
This time, we 'Nuke the Fridge' on Force Fed Sci-Fi with Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull and take a look at the film's cast, the inclusion of an alien / inter-dimensional being, and the film's ending along with other topics! So strap in and let's whip away! The Kingdom of the Crystal Skull Cast and Crew Steven Spielberg - Director: The legendary Steven Spielberg returned for another directorial project within the Indiana Jones franchise with this film. We have to ask though, was this film the start of the downfall of Spielberg. Really since this film was released in 2008, we feel he's only directed 'good' films and not any 'great' films, like The Adventures of Tintin, Lincoln, and Bridge of Spies. Where did films like Catch Me If You Can, Saving Private Ryan, Jurassic Park, and the original Indiana Jones films go? Our podcast host Chris almost thinks he just can't outdo himself anymore and that other filmmakers have caught up with him. This is entirely possible, but we hope we get a film soon from Spielberg that once again blows us away. Harrison Ford - Indiana Jones: Ford was in his 60's at the time of the making and release of this film. It was obviously exciting to see him return to one of his roles that shot him up to the top of the list of A-list actors. We really don't have issues with Ford's performance in this film, but there are issues we will get to eventually later on. It was impressive to find out Ford performed most of his stunts considering his age, but not surprising since he really does cherish this role, and supposedly want this role to die with him ... let's be honest Harrison, Hollywood will eventually reboot the character because that's the name of the game these days. Cate Blanchett - Irina Spalko: We realized as we were recording our podcast episode, that Blanchett is an extremely talented actress and has the ability to play a wide range of different types of characters. She delivers a great performance as a Soviet agent and antagonist of the story with Spielberg, Labeouf, and Ford praising her performance and embodying such a unique character with unique characteristics. Shia Labeouf - Mutt Williams: He was high on the actors-wanted list at the time due to his success with the Transformers franchise, but were his negative comments about this film what got him fired from the Transformers films? We don't know for sure, but we speculate it probably was. In any case, Labeouf takes on this role as Mutt Williams, which we later find out is Jones' son. A decent character in our eyes, but by no means an out-of-this-world character. Karen Allen as Marion Ravenswood: It was admittedly exciting to see her take on the role again of Indy's past love interest and mother to Labeouf's character. However, we felt she was underutilized. Our podcast show host Sean felt she was just there to tell Indy he had a son, and then ended up just driving the boats and cars during the chase scenes ... not much else as far as the purpose of her character goes though. Ray Winstone as George "Mac" Michale: Winstone plays a character who used to work alongside Indy, but has allied himself with the Soviets. We'll go into his fate during the film a little later, but not a very complex character who is blinded by greed and money, not to mention that he "tricks" the protagonists by saying he really is an agent infiltrating the Soviets, but pretty much says 'just kidding' later - was that part of his story really necessary? John Hurt as Harold "Ox" Osley: Hurt plays an old friend to Indy and surrogate father to Mutt who, for pretty much the whole film, has gone 'Coo-Coo for Co-Co Puffs' after staring into the crystal skull. His character was enticing and intriguing a the beginning, but fits into the film in an odd way for the rest of the film with being an odd comedic relief at times. Other Casting Notes - Sean Connery was approached to reprise his role as Indy's father,

David Ehrlich (IndieWire) returns to Blank Check to discuss 2008's polarized franchise reboot, Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. But are the rumors true that there is a superior early version of this screenplay? Is George Lucas to blame for the most of the criticism? And is it clear that Mutt Williams is a greaser type character? Together they examine, the new old Harrison Ford movies slated for release, the culture around the death of celebrities, the many follies of Shia LaBeouf and also explore Ray Winstone impressions.
