Titles: Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom [Wikipedia] [IMDb] Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade [Wikipedia] [IMDb] Director: Steven Spielberg Producer: Robert Watts Writers: Willard Huyck, Gloria Katz (screenplay); George Lucas (story) (Temple of Doom) Jeffrey Boam (screenplay); George Lucas, Menno Meyjes (story) (Last Crusade) Stars: Harrison Ford, Kate Capshaw, Amrish Puri, Roshan Seth, Philip Stone, Ke Huy Quan (Temple of Doom) Harrison Ford, Denholm Elliott, Alison Doody, John Rhys-Davies, Julian Glover, Sean Connery (Last Crusade) Release dates: May 23, 1984 (US, Temple of Doom) May 24, 1989 (US, Last Crusade) SHOWNOTES: Welcome back to our review of the beloved 80s action-adventure film trilogy Indiana Jones (which definitely ended there and was never followed by any sequels)! Last time we analyzed Raiders of the Lost Ark, and in Part 2 we'll be covering the last two movies: Temple of Doom and Last Crusade. Starting with arguably the weakest link of the trilogy and the "black sheep" of the film series, and ending with what many consider to be the peak of the franchise, it'll make for an... illuminating (read that in your best Sean Connery accent) discussion. This duo, for better or worse (almost entirely better) helped define the original Indiana Jones story, which in turn influenced cinema in ways we cannot overstate.

Title(s): Raiders of the Lost Ark (theatrical), Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark (retroactive) [Wikipedia] [IMDb] Director: Steven Spielberg Producer: Frank Marshall Writers: Lawrence Kasdan (screenplay), George Lucas, Philip Kaufman (story) Stars: Harrison Ford, Karen Allen, Paul Freeman, Ronald Lacey, John Rhys-Davies, Denholm Elliott Release date: June 12, 1981 PROMO: Anime Talk (@AnimeTalk12) SHOWNOTES: Grab your bullwhip and fedora, because Collateral Cinema is covering one of, if not the best action-adventure movie series of all time: the Indiana Jones Trilogy! That's right: the trilogy. That's it. Three films. No others have ever been made and you won't convince us otherwise. Follow us for this special two-part episode; in Part 1, we'll be covering the very first installment: Raiders of the Lost Ark! Considered among the greatest movies ever made, this 1981 flick was directed by Steven Spielberg; co-written by Lawrence Kasdan, George Lucas, and Philip Kaufman; and stars Harrison Ford in his debut as the immortal character Indiana Jones—arguably his best role. Raiders isn't just a damn good film that stands the test of time, but a keystone of movie sub-culture, containing many of the most iconic scenes in cinema, and being the start of a celebrated American media franchise. Stay tuned for Part 2, where we'll be covering Temple of Doom and Last Crusade!

Our resident "car guy" Robert Ortegon has picked out another influential film of the "car chase" genre: the 1974 original Gone in 60 Seconds, directed, produced, and written by H. B. Halicki! Beau, Ash, and Dakota join Robert in discussing this independent action movie well known for the 93 destroyed cars during the filming of its record-holding 40-minute car chase scene, as well as the 2000 remake it inspired (starring Nicolas Cage and Angelina Jolie). We talk the direction of Halicki—a car lover with no prior experience in filmmaking, the cinematography, the use of actual car wrecks and real bystanders during filming, and of course, the cars (including famous Ford Mustang "Eleanor"). We even compare and contrast this title with its remake and other car movies at length!

We discuss how this video game truly puts you in the Web-Slinger's shoes, how in its own way it represents the best Spider-Man movie in addition to being a perfect superhero game, as well as why Yuri Lowenthal's performance is the best cinematic portrayal of Peter Parker/Spider-Man! We even briefly talk the three-part DLC expansion The City That Never Sleeps, and what the future could hold for the Spider-Man and Marvel gaming franchises.

Title: Leprechaun Returns Director: Steven Kostanski Producers: Daniel Iron, Lance Samuels Writers: Mark Jones (created by), Suzanne Keilly Starring: Taylor Spreitler, Pepi Sonuga, Sai Bennett, Linden Porco, Mark Holton Release date: December 11, 2018 PODCAST SHOUTOUT: FanScription by Channel Awesome (@ChannelAwesome) SHOWNOTES: Collateral Cinema's exploration of the slasher genre continues in our analysis of the Leprechaun franchise—most particularly, its most recent entry: Leprechaun Returns! This 2018 TV movie chosen by our very own Robert Ortegon is the latest in a series of horror comedy films revolving around a murderous leprechaun (historically played by the great Warwick Davis) and his attempt to repossess his stolen gold. Not dissimilar to our Halloween (2018) episode earlier this season, Beau, Robert, Ash, and Dakota discuss the Leprechaun franchise history through each title, before diving into the cinematography and plot of this soft reboot taking place after the very first entry (again, just like the newest Halloween!). We also offer our thoughts on the actor performances, such as Lindon Norco picking up the torch of the titular character the Leprechaun, and Mark Holton reprising his role from the first film. Find the pot of gold at the end of a rainbow, grab a box of Lucky Charms (or should we say Lucky Clovers), and eat a dick, Ass Baggins!

This remastered collection of LEGO Harry Potter: Years 1-4 and Years 5-7 was fun to discuss and surprisingly entertaining to analyze. Join hosts Ashley and Dakota Chancellor (as usual along with Collateral Cinema co-hosts Beau Maddox and Robert Ortegon, who occasionally add their own commentary) as we delve into the recognizably unique gameplay, quirky reenacted storytelling, and collection of playable characters in this Harry Potter-inspired series and the LEGO game franchise as a whole!

By no means are we reviewing or analyzing any other game, no sir or ma'am or non-binary honorific you may prefer. Clearly, THIS is the title we have been alluding to prior.

We've been anticipating this episode for a while now, and we're totally excited to dive straight into Tommy Wiseau's (@tommywiseau) legendary 2003 so-bad-it's-awesome alleged “drama" film, The Room! Host Beau Maddox introduced this fine film to fellow host Robert Ortegon, and we totally nerded out on the insane writing, paradoxical acting, legendarily awesome quotes/scenes, amazingly stilted characters, random plot holes, outrageous sex scenes, and the man/myth/legend himself, Tommy Wiseau! So join us for a wonderfully nostalgic and hilarious outing with us, as we also look into James Franco's 2017 homage to the production of this glorious film, The Disaster Artist, as well! And never forget: chocolate is totally the symbol of love!!! (Correction: the actress who plays Lisa is actually named Julliette Danielle, not Julliette Daniels.
