What's up everybody? Welcome back to the Crown Cinema
podcast. In this episode, we are
breaking. Down and literally just watched
Raiders of the Lost Ark. I thought we were going to say
Indiana Jones, Raiders of the Lost Ark, so that wasn't.
Technically, the title is Raiders of the Lost.
Ark. I see that now.
That's.
George Lucas does that. Like Star Wars was just Star
Wars when it first was released, and then it was Star Wars A New
Hope. This is George Lucas.
I thought this was Steven Spielberg.
He directed it, but George Lucas came up with the story.
Oh, OK. Way this movie got made is that
George Lucas used to have a thing when he would release a
movie, he would fly to Hawaii to get away from the noise of like,
will it be a success? You know, will it not?
Is he going to flop? Is he going to make money?
So Spielberg started to join him on this trip.
And then so George Lucas had Star Wars coming out.
So they went to Hawaii with and Spielberg came along and you
know, George Lucas was stressed out and not sure what was going
to happen. And then once the first weekend
hit, they were like, Star Wars is a hit going to be good,
right? So he's like, all right, cool.
Now I can start talking about other projects I want to do
because, you know, the stress of this one's off.
It's it's a success. So let's move on to the next
project. And Spielberg was telling George
Lucas that I want to make a Double O 7 James Bond movie.
And George Lucas said, well, I have something better than that
and showed him and told him about about Indiana Jones and
the Raiders of the Lost Ark in this whole like, cool story.
And so Spielberg heard it and was like, damn, let's do it.
Like I'm down to make it. And then they went on and did
it. They did it together.
Yeah, George Lucas said the story they hired, I think the
same guy that writes a lot of Star Wars scripts wrote that
finished off this movie because George Lucas is good, I think,
at coming up with the idea of the story in like the world.
And then he hires a really good tree rider to write the movie
for him. OK, OK.
And then Spielberg directed it. Yeah.
That's how this movie got made. Yeah, because Spielberg, I mean,
dude, I legend, legend in the game right there.
It's insane how many hits it has.
Yeah, like you. Go back and look at his resume.
You're like bro it's like it's insane that he's still relevant.
He's done it for like 50 years. Yeah.
So I mean, we were. Yeah.
So we were just involved in South by Southwest in multiple
different ways, but Spielberg just ended up like kind of
popping in out of nowhere, like kind of last second.
Gave a speech. And he like, he pretty much sold
out like immediately. What?
What do you mean? Well, no, not him.
He didn't like so no, he didn't like so.
So I just mean, like when everybody heard that Spielberg
was coming, like immediately, like impossible pretty much to
get a spot to go see him speak. Yeah, I got, I got a
reservation. I got to watch him speak talk
about aliens for like 30 minutes straight.
That's what you want. That's what I would want.
No, I wanted to hear him talk about his process and like give
me the secrets bro. I have a podcast, I can bring up
some of your points. If you really listen to what he
was saying about aliens, he was telling you everything you
needed to know about how to make a movie.
Yeah, how to make a damn good movie.
He's got 3 Alien movies, a new one.
Well, he's got 2 new ones coming.
This list is crazy bro. Like Schindler's List, Jaws,
Jurassic Park, ETET, Ready Player One that.
Was really good Saving Private Ryan.
See that's. Crazy.
Catch me if you can. Hamnet.
I think he probably produced it. OK, like what?
This guy's nuts. Yeah, did not direct it, but was
a producer on Hamnet, West Side Story, War of the Worlds,
Minority Report. Back to the framers.
Is he Drake Gremlins? No way.
No Chris Columbus. He just.
He just had something. I mean, but still this is it's.
One of those, yeah, like once you end up becoming a legend in
the game like that, and then you can just start putting your hand
in all these different projects and then making money.
Making money. It is crazy though I mean like I
think Schindler's less Saving Private Ryan.
Those are just extremely dark they'll mess with your head
movie. Like I watched Saving Private
Ryan probably like 3 years ago for.
The first time, no. No, no, no, just like rewatch
it. It was one of those, like when I
watched it, it was really freaky because I was like, damn, like,
that could have been me. You know, if I had, if I was as
old as I am now, Yep, when this was happening, like that would
be me. Would have made a man out of
you. That's right.
Or a dead man. It was just tough.
And then obviously, like that intro, like when they stormed
the beach of Normandy, you know, the fact that like, people that
saw it in theaters that were in World War Two were like, OK,
well, we have to leave because this is literally what it
looked. Like I'm getting flashback.
This isn't a movie. So then you think about that and
Spielberg like being able to create that, but then he can
also do like an ET or just like, I don't know, kind of like
kiddish movies. Yeah.
And then there's Raiders of the Lost Ark for me.
And so I think most of this episode is going to be you
having to convince me that they they should honestly, they
should remake this movie. What?
They should do a better job of it because for me, and granted,
like watching yesterday, it's been a long time since I've
watched it. Like I I couldn't even remember
what happened in the movie. Do you not like the silliness of
it? I think I don't like the
silliness. I think it's.
A kids movie bro it's PG. See, but that's crazy to me that
this is a kids movie because this is this is a dark movie.
It's a scary movie. And I watched it with my
roommate and he was like dude when I was a kid and watch this
scared. Me, the kids.
The scary one that's still PG is Temple of Doom.
OK, Have you seen that one or do you remember it?
No, no, I I think I've seen this one.
And then I saw the one with Shia LaBeouf, OK.
And the one with Shia LaBeouf also, I remember she's like, I
want to know everything. And then it gets like, all
freaky. The Temple of Doom is like they
go to this like Mayan like sacrifice temple and like
they're that. He's like ripping hearts out and
shit. It was like, that ain't a kids.
Movie bro bro you look this. Guy, you got this guy.
I mean, come on, these are. This is just not a kids movie.
Indiana Jones is straight up like he's got girls trying to
have sex with him. He's shooting dudes.
There's killing people, there's scary stuff like when he's when
Marin goes down to the dead body, like when they're in the.
She's like, yeah. When the and they.
And the dead bodies, like, start, like, scaring her.
There's at one point in that scene where they just get a
close up of a dead body with a snake coming out of its mouth.
And you hear Marian just screaming.
Yeah. And it's like, whoa, what?
So for kids, side note here, Spielberg, when he was talking,
he mentioned about he makes movies, they're all based on a
fear of his. And so he tries to take his
fears and put it on to other people.
That's like the whole thing he does with his movies.
It's all about putting his fear on to somebody else.
So in this movie, he's just scaring children.
Yeah, like he made Jaws. And I think when Jaws came out,
you know, that was just, it was a very scary movie for
everybody. Weak.
Yeah. And then he.
Was so weak back in the day. I know.
And then this comes out and it's like, whoa.
It's just one of those where like I think about like, I
always, my parents, they're always like, oh, like the movies
you all watch now just so messed up, so dark and twisted.
And I was like, you know what? I just watched Raiders of the
Lost Ark and that movie's pretty messed up.
Yeah, what about like Scarface? That movie's pretty messed up.
Scarface is pretty messed up. So Indiana Jones is the reason
why we have PG13 movies. Back in this time 1981, the only
ratings were GPG and R OK, there's nothing between PG and
R. And this is not an R rated movie
very clearly. But it's also really not a PG
movie, right? But that's the closest rating.
So they gave it to him. But it's funny because what PG
means is that a child can watch this movie unsupervised.
It's like totally cleared for a child to watch with no parent
around because it's PG. But when they made Temple of
Doom, that one's a waste. Scarer isn't in this movie.
And children were reported having nightmares and like
getting so scared because parents would just throw on
Temple of Doom PG, it's good with Anina Jones.
And then kids would start freaking out.
And so they had to create a middle ground between PG and R,
which is created at PG13. So Anina Jones is the reason why
because this movie is very much not a child's movie.
It should be APG 13 movie like they're.
Silliness should be APG 13. There's a silliness of it.
It's like a for a kid, but there's also scary stuff in it
that you're like, that shouldn't be what a kid can watch.
Yeah, you crazy. Yeah.
I just, you know, then like just in like the drinking aspect of
it too. Like they're taking shots a lot
of having the blackout competitions.
Speaking on that, it would be impossible for Marion Marion to
drink that much liquor. What do you mean?
In that with when she's drinking off in her bar against the big
dude. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah.
You mean like scientifically not possible?
Yeah. How?
How?
I don't know, I guess you can build a tolerance.
There it was like 20 shots. In a row.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. And.
Then she gets up. Totally cool.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Fights off some Nazis.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. No, I mean, I agree.
That's movie magic, baby. That's movie magic.
But it's also one of those things where, like, I don't
know, dude. You know, I'm, I'm out here in
the film industry now and I, I'm partying with some people, with
some, with some. Greg's wearing some Tim Dylan
glasses today. I'm out here partying with some
some veterans and let me tell you something, some of these
ladies can drink me under the table.
You drink you under the table. They can drink me under the
table. So then I see a movie like this
and I'm like, you know, I don't know.
I don't know what country she's really in whenever they're
whenever they're drinking. I don't know what that entails
as far as like what the drinking culture is out there.
But I'm sure there is some woman out there in the world that has
just been getting fucked up. And then when it comes to like
push comes to shove, if there's a competition of taking shots,
she could, she could. But again, it's just moving
magic. It also could be, you know,
third world country alcohol where it's not that strong.
Yeah, you know, like could be pretty weak alcohol or it's
super strong. Yeah.
I think about it like moonshine that you make in the
Backcountry, the backwoods, that's pretty damn strong.
So maybe it's actually really strong.
Yeah, and maybe maybe she's just, maybe this is some tourist
that like brought some like Kitty BS alcohol and then she's
like, this is nothing I drink. I drink moonshine with my
breakfast. Yeah, lunch and dinner and
appetizers. All day long, Yeah, I drink a
drink. 2 Mason jars a day. Yeah, I drink it with my coffee
to wake me up, and then I have it as a nightcap to put me down.
Guys, I got to take another moment of your time to just tell
you about this product I'm taking.
It's called Lock Lab, all right? It's just a little tiny pill
that I take once a day, and it totally, completely restored my
hair. I've got multiple friends and
family members taking this pill. So it's one of those like I got
people that really are like, all right, dude, this better work.
It is. This thing works.
Remember Me and Gray? We were on a work trip and
Gray's hair was gone. It was not gone, but it was
fading fast. And I said, Cade, just be honest
with me. Does it look bad?
And I said, Gray, you need to shave your head, bro.
Stop holding on. Oh, and there's even more to add
on to that story. It's like, so I shaved my head,
didn't get on the pill and thought, oh, I've heard stories
of people that shave their head and then their hair like comes
back. There's one story, and it's
Matthew McConaughey in. Green light.
This is Matthew McConaughey that said that he shaved his head and
then it just came back thicker. So I thought, well, I mean,
maybe that happened to me too. Nope.
It looked terrible. Was fully accepting of the fact
that I was bald. Unless you have Lock Lab,
because then Gray found lock Lab, took the pill, now he's
back in action. Heard of lock lab, gave it one
more shot. My hair is back.
It was a miracle. Except it's not, because it's
just science. It's just science.
They got a good product over there and it's very affordable.
So go to locklab.co. Go get your hair back.
All right, why don't you like this movie?
What's wrong with you? I think it's it's not even that
I I don't like this movie again, I was, I was feeling kind of
sick when I watched this yesterday.
So I think I was just like kind of pissed off.
You could have put on like the actual whatever you could have
put on such a good movie. Anyways, for me, Oh man, OK, I
because I don't want to hate. I don't want to hate.
You have the glasses on you can hate.
I don't want to hate, I'm just this movie just didn't seem like
it knew exactly what it wanted to be.
Like, are we being silly? Are we being serious acting
wise? I didn't totally understand like
Marian's character when she's first introduced her drinking
this dude literally under the table.
So I'm thinking, OK, and she owns the Tavern.
So I'm thinking, OK, she's like badassed probably like kind of
feminine, like independent strong woman.
She don't need no man. But then she just kind of ends
up being a wussy. She's like, you know, she's down
for the adventure and like, she obviously like is hardcore in
her own way, but like, just kind of seeing her, like just being
scared. Like she's just screaming the
whole movie like. It's scary they got Nazis.
I know, but I'm just like, what are we doing?
I thought she was supposed to be a beast, like a literal beast,
like nothing fazes her. I thought that's, I thought
that's what the the intro was trying to do was like, yeah,
this. You can't faze this woman.
Well, I think she she's not like a weak woman character.
She's not at all, but like, I don't know, maybe and but then
again, maybe the attitude like kind of works well because it's
kind of funny that she like clearly doesn't want to be in
these situations, but she's just it's like her destiny almost
that she is so like, I don't know, I get it.
I just I don't like it. I wish she could have been a
little bit harder. Wish she had been a little bit
harder. I don't know.
You're up against the Nazi army. What are you going to do?
Tough it out. She did tough it out, she.
I want you to like she. Tricked the guy she got fake
drunk to get out of it and then the Nazi came and stopped her.
Yeah, she was with the indie till the end.
He's stuck by his side even when those dire straits they're about
to get killed. She almost got killed like 4
times. Seemed like she was kind of
falling for the the French dude. What's his name?
Oh yeah, Benic. Oh yeah, no, she's just tricking
him. Yeah.
What's his name? Bellic.
Bellic Belloc. Belloc Bastard.
Yeah. And then just for me, like, and
I feel bad for Harrison Ford because I think even he knows
when he looks back at his career because he's just a grumpy old
man. And I think it's because, like,
he just got this Han Solo typecast.
Yeah, he's definitely the Han Solo guy in this movie.
I mean, it's just but. It's kind of perfect persona for
Indiana Jones. No, no, I you know it is I don't
know I and I again, not really trying to hate, not really
trying to hate, but like just some of Harrisons delivery in
this. I was like, man, what?
Just not the best acting. Oh my gosh, I don't agree.
They're supposed to have Tom Selleck.
He was supposed to be Indiana Jones.
That would have been a good one, would have been a good they.
Literally did screen tests like they filmed him as Indiana
Jones. Nice.
To be the guy, but. Because Harrison Ford was just
like killer as Han Solo. He was like the new guy on the
block. So they're just trying to milk
him in Hollywood. Well, George Lucas didn't want
to hire Harrison Ford because they first thought about him,
but he didn't want to hire him because he just used them for
Star Wars as like, as, you know, one of the best characters in
the movie. Literally just used him as a
space cowboy. So he's like, I don't really
want to have the trope of like, where I always use Bob De Niro,
you know, kind of taking shots at Scorsese.
Oh, he literally said that. He did say that.
Whoa. He didn't say Scorsese, but he
said Bob De Niro, which you're like, OK.
That's not even the truth though.
I mean, Scorsese using Robert De Niro, he uses him as like, yes,
like he'll definitely has like the cocky gangster sometimes,
but then taxi driver, he plays a messed up psycho.
Yeah, you know. But he always uses him.
Then he uses him in Cape Fear as another like messed up psycho
with a country accent. But he's not He's.
Not meaning like the same type of character.
He's just saying I don't want to use the same actors over and
over again where I just have like my only crew.
He wanted to, I guess, be diverse in who he selects as his
actors. So they went for Tom Selleck.
But Tom Selleck couldn't do it because I think Paramount, yeah,
Paramount made this movie. And I think Paramount owned
Magnum Pi or produced Magnum Pi. And Tom Selleck was signed on
for like multiple seasons. So like, you can't use them for
the movie. We got them already booked up.
Like, damn, OK, we can't use Tom Selleck.
So then they were like, let's just use Harrison Ford.
Yeah, there's. Nobody else that could do this.
Oh, we lost time. OK, well, you know what?
Harrison Ford's actually pretty good.
Yeah, exactly what I think about it.
They got all Harrison Ford playing one of the most iconic
characters of all time. Yeah.
And like, at one point, you know, I can't.
I I watched this yesterday and I I wish I'd take a note but there
was at one point there was a scene where Indiana Jones sees
Marion and like the music that gets cued like swear to God it
sounds just like something that Han Solo and Princess Leia like
had is their soundtrack. The George Lucas touch.
He knows what he wants. Yeah, he's like, yeah, I'm not
trying to use the same actors or make the same type of movies,
but he's pretty much using like the same type of music.
Yeah, yeah. I mean, a George Lucas movie is
very much in a different kind of world, setting up a whole.
I I like those stories where it's like it's his own movie
world. Like Indiana Jones, that's a
movie world. Yeah, it's recognizable.
It's like you're archaeologicals discoveries, Star Wars, space,
whole new world, Galaxy fighting for the good and evil of the of
the Galaxy of the universe. Yeah.
Well, and then obviously, like, just once you do that, you can
do whatever you want because, like, all right, we're in a
universe that's made-up and like, there's just millions of
possibilities. Yeah.
So and I kind of, but I agree, it's kind of the same thing
here. Like, you never know what you're
going to discover. That's cool.
That's fun. I like the idea of Indiana
Jones. And honestly, like I do think
like when I think of the Crystal Skull one with Shia LaBeouf,
from what I remember, that's a damn good movie.
I think it's not. No, I.
Think it's the worst one? No.
Some would argue Temple of Doom is the worst one.
Brayden would argue that, but scary.
As a kid I liked that movie. I don't.
I haven't seen it in probably since I was 12 years old, so I
don't remember the movie at all, but I remember.
I remember always liking it. I remember the big fire ants.
Oh yeah, yeah, that was messed up.
I would. Ants, yeah.
I remember the dude laying on the ground and he's just got a
bunch of ants going in his mouth.
Oh yeah. Scary.
Was that PG13 I wonder? Had to be that scene alone.
You can't pull that off in PG. Going with Star Wars, in this
movie, when Indiana Jones has the RPG about to blow up the
ark, he's threading them over that Canyon.
That Canyon is the exact same location that they shot when
R2D2 got kidnapped by the Jawas. In Oh my God.
I don't know which one it is. It's the first Star Wars movie.
Hold on. New Hope, A New Hope.
Yeah. Like, really?
The exact same Canyon, Yeah. Give me, give me a break,
George. Sticking with his guns, he knows
what he likes. It's.
Like I don't want to do it the same, but like God, that sure
does look good on camera. I.
Mean you can't really tell in this, but.
I mean, yeah, you can always, you can always shoot it
differently. That's funny.
Yeah. No, I, I I'm really not trying
to hate on the movie. I'm just saying like, and then
it's just got like the 80s Hollywood, like, just like the
ending of it, dude. Or like the government gets it.
And then, you know, Indies, Indiana's all pissed off and
he's like, they don't know what they got.
And she's like, well, I know what I got, why don't you let me
take you out for a drink? Just shut up.
It's a happy ending, bro. Shut up.
It's happy. Ending it's Indiana Jones.
Bro dude, far from a happy ending.
Let me tell you what they should.
Do what you're right, not not happy, but let.
Me tell you what they should do all right, they should remake
this film and they should really show us like how fucked up it
is. They should go for how
traumatizing this movie is because a lot of terrible,
horrible things happened. First off, so many bad deaths in
this. I'm talking like brutal, brutal
deaths. Got a big boy getting chopped up
by the blades of a plane. Yeah, like dudes falling off
cars. Melting, melting off.
Bro, I mean just so many like that was the thing where it was
like, dude, Indiana Jones is not like, I don't know, like at the
beginning of the movie I thought his whole thing was like, maybe
he's not going to have a gun. He only uses the whip.
I was so wrong. I was so wrong.
He not only has a gun, he like, I mean, he's good with it.
He uses it instead of fighting with his fists whenever he gets
the chance. So I'm just saying they should
remake this movie. The the best story from this
movie is the scene when Indiana Jones shoots the big guy with
the big sword in the middle of the town in Cairo.
I believe they're in Cairo. That scene in the script, the
original plan for it even on the day was that Indiana Jones and
the big swordsman. We're going to have a big fight
scene battle. It was going to be like a big
set piece in the thing where they need to watch Indiana Jones
beat up this guy. But Harrison Ford and some of
the crew had food poisoning from I think the water, the food or
whatever. So they felt he felt terrible
and set so he couldn't even do the stunts.
There's going to be a cool moment where like he takes his
whip out and like disarms the guy with the sword by, you know,
having the whip grab it. But here's the Ford couldn't do
the stomach because he felt so terrible.
He's just sick to his stomach the entire day.
And so while they're they had to get the shots done because, you
know, his movie set, they're on a time schedule, They're getting
a crunch. Time is money.
And so here's the Ford was like, why don't I just shoot him
instead? Spielberg was like, all right, I
like that idea. Let's do it.
Which that little happy accident is a perfect character moment.
Fortuna Jones because he's not going to take the hard route and
the show we flashy route to try to solve a problem.
He's going to take the easy road and just pull out the gun and
shoot the guy. He's it's like it becomes a
funny thing in the movie where he this big sword guys doing
these cool moves and then Indian Jones looks at him, gun kills
him. Yeah, there's a great moment
that wasn't ever planned, but that was happy at that happy
accident turned into the great movie moment for this movie.
Yeah, which I mean, also like it they same thing kind of happens
whenever he's trying to get in the plane, but then the big
German soldier sees him, takes his shirt off and like wants to
have a a proper fist fight. Yep.
And and he's just so pissed because he doesn't have the gun
this time. Yeah, and he's and.
Then he does have to fight him until he finally gets the gun.
I like those, like, silly moments when he's on the plane,
the big guy comes like, and he's like, OK, fine.
Yeah, All right. Now give me a second.
Yeah, I'll fight to you. Fuck.
Yeah, then it's so, it's so funny.
That dude gets ripped in pieces by by a plane.
Yeah. Then they also bomb the village
and shoot up so many, so many fathers and sons.
Yeah, just a horrible thing. But anyways, this is what I
think they should do. They should.
They should remake this movie. And here's the cast they should
use for Indiana Jones. It should be Ryan Gosling, but
then it should also just be Robert F Kennedy by the end of
it because of how traumatizing everything is.
Wait, what? Whatever I think of Robert F
Kennedy, I just think like. There's a God.
He's real. RK Junior you're talking about?
Yeah. And then so.
So men move at the end of the movie just.
This is Robert F Yeah, It's just RK Junior.
And he just like whenever Marion's like, I know what I got
like, you want to go get a drink?
Mary and there's other worldly phenomenon out there and it just
killed everybody. I don't need a Drake.
I need a bottle of Xanax and a gun.
Wow. OK, and then like same thing
like like it should in the remake, they should also have
that Lady whenever Indiana Jones AFK or I mean AKA RFK junior
when he's teaching the class, he's like so clearly traumatized
and the the girl blinks and it says love, I love you on
islands. Like there's a God and he sees
you and you're going to hell. Because like, dude, they
literally like at the beginning of the movie Indiana Jones.
Like, I don't believe in all that.
I don't believe in all that voodoo bullshit, but then it
literally happens like out of nowhere.
The wrath of God the. Wrath of God strikes down and
for some reason, Indiana's like, just close your eyes.
I don't even like in the remake, it shouldn't be because he's
like, he knows that that's like a solving.
He didn't know that that's like solving the problem.
He's just like, close your eyes, like you don't want to see the
wrath of God. Yeah.
Like, we're humans. We're not ready for this.
We're. Going like biblically, if you
saw the ark of the covenant and looked into it, you would die,
You'd get struck down by God because there's like God's glory
was in the ark and it's too pure for us sinners to look at it.
So if you ever try to gaze at it, God will strike you down
because you're not worthy enough to see it.
Gotcha. That's why he knew that, because
he knew you know the text and wasn't, you know, he's an
archaeology. I can't say this archaeologist.
Archaeologist. Yeah.
So he like, he's like, oh fuck, this is real. close your eyes.
Close your eyes. Yeah.
So that should be yeah. And like that, that should be
really the the main part of the the movie, the remake that I'm
talking about is all the characters are traumatized.
You ever seen the Rick and Morty episode where like they like get
through like a battle and they're like tired and then they
just start crying in the spaceship?
It is so bloody, yeah. And it's like I had no control.
I'm shaking, Morty, look at me. They just start screaming.
Yeah, there's traumatized. That's that's what should have
just happened. Yeah.
Like Oh my God is real. Alright, what else you got with
this? Real is real, David, and I'm I'm
going to butcher pronouncing his last name, but David dashed
Mauschian. What the actor?
Yes, he is one of the dudes in Prisoners movie that we love
around here. What characters do you play?
He plays the one like, oh man, I don't know, Jake Gyllenhaal,
like shows up to his apartment and like, beats the shit out of
him 'cause he like, had kids clothes, no.
No in this movie. Oh, he would play Major, Arnold,
Tot or Tote, whatever. The.
The the German, yeah, the Nazi like evil character.
I have him doing that. Christophe Waltz should play
Doctor Bellach. And then yeah, there's this
actress. Zoe Dutch should play Marian.
Zoe Dutch trying to think what you've seen her in, but I would
like Zoe Dutch to play the character that she played in
Zombieland in this movie. Nice.
Until the end, until she sees the wrath of God, and then she's
traumatized. And then turns into who?
She she's just, Zoe does honestly, she can turn into
Karen Allen. Karen Allen can just come back.
Karen Allen's like 74 years old and she comes back and she's
just completely haunted by what they see.
They all just age. And then?
Tremendously. I mean once they've seen the
wrath of God, like honestly just it's all RFK junior.
He's like, it's like a, it's like a what's the He's like,
It's like a Tyler Perry movie. Yeah, Yeah.
It's always every character. Yeah.
Because especially with the ending, like that's, you know,
that's really the scariest part of the whole thing.
It's like, so God is real and now the US government is about
to experiment on it. Yeah.
It fell into the wrong hands. This shouldn't have happened.
We should have buried it. That's hilarious.
But we took the money. All right, well, now we know
what our mission in life is. Remaking Indiana Jones with RFK
Junior stealing the show at the end.
Yeah, yeah, because that now that I and then I just thought
it like Indiana Jones is like a complete sell out, finding proof
of God and then like selling it to the Americans.
No, he couldn't. They took it from him.
He took the money, too. He didn't.
He has to. What you gonna do empty handed?
I don't need money anymore when I realized that.
We're going to hell. Yeah.
We shouldn't have seen that. No, I think this movie is a
perfect movie in the sense of the writing, the structure, the
way it flows. Please explain to me, change my
mind. I'm actually very easy to
persuade. Here's the This is the most
perfect part of the movie is the opening scene.
The reason why it's perfect is because it tells you everything
you know about the world, about the character, and the stakes
are getting set for everything. And everything you learn in this
opening scene kind of unfolds later and is a hint toward what
will happen in this movie, as well as like the Indiana Jones
world. So you get the establishing
shots through the jungle as Indiana Jones is walking
through, and you don't see him. You just kind of see the back of
him as they're walking through. That sets up the world we're in.
So now we know, OK, this is like some archaeological discovery
type things going to be in the places of the world we've never
seen before that have these mysteries, right?
So that sets that up for you. And then when Indiana Jones
about to get shot, the guy that's his little tour guide
ends up trying to kill him. Any Indiana Jones hears it,
turns around, uses his whip and knocks the gun out into the
water. So now we know Indiana Jones is
very capable. He knows things are going to
happen. You know, he's like very aware
of his surroundings. We get revealed as iconic
weapon. It's a whip.
That's something unique. You haven't seen in like a
character using a whip to do these type of things.
That's a unique moment for the character.
We get a cool reveal of who he is.
Once he just did something cool. And then we also know that
there's now going to be double crosses in this world because
people are always double crossing Indiana Jones for these
relics and idols and the things that they're going after.
Now there's now we know there's double crosses.
We can see that he's smart because or he's he's clever.
Maybe it's a better word. Yeah, clever would be the best
way He because, yeah. So he's he's constantly making
it up as he goes. Along right but he prepares
ahead of time for things like knowing the world he's in.
So you know he's very well versed in it because before they
go into the little temple, he grabs some sand and puts it in
the back. You're not sure what that's for.
And he puts it on his, you know, belt or whatever.
And then they walk into the little temple to take the idol.
Now we see those booby traps in this thing going into more than
mystery about, OK, this is like a world.
There's going to be booby traps. It's something we don't know
about. So like always been on the edge
of your seat when you're going into these different worlds,
There's going to be something hidden below the just surface of
what you're seeing. And then when he gets to the
idol again, going back to him being clever, he pulls out the
sandbag that he already prepared, knowing this might he
might need to use it. OK, he planned for that.
Don't not even know he's going to use it, but like thought
maybe he might need it. So then we see again, it's
cleverness of like looking at the idol.
He's he's measuring it up. Just real quick, you keep saying
idol, you mean artifact? No, it's called an idol.
Is it called an idol? Yeah, American Idol.
No, it's the little tokens. An idol like the Mayans worship
this thing. They think that this has God's
presence in it. OK, then idol, that's what they
call it. Like things that are like cool
relics are like an idol that people worship.
OK. So this idol, this artifact.
So he measures up the sand, looks at the idol and then
transfers it really smoothly. However, he gets it wrong.
So we know OK, even though he's clever and is.
Well. Educated, he still makes
mistakes so we know he's not a perfect guy he's just very
resourceful but just not perfect.
So as they run out more movie traps get revealed which kind of
set the stakes higher. You get the most iconic shot
with the the most iconic moment probably in the movie with the
giant boulder chasing and and Jones is just as he has to
outrun it. So that's a cool moment in the
movie. Also, you know, elevating the
stakes of the scene with the different booby traps, knowing
that even when you're done and you're out of it, there's still
more to come. And then once he gets out of the
temple, he gets double crossed again, again, alluding to these
double crosses. And we now we see the main
villain of the movie, Bellic shows up and steals the idol.
Bella coming to steal the idol also tells you that Indiana
Jones is probably done a lot of these, you know, missions to go
find things. And he's probably found a lot of
things. But we know he's never gotten
the credit he deserves for what he's found because he still
works in the college. He's not like a famous guy, but
he's so capable and good at his job.
But people come in and steal it, which kind of eludes the ending,
how the government steals the art from him.
Even though he did all the work, founded everything, he didn't
get to control what happens to it.
They just steal it, put it in a warehouse, and nobody knows
anything about what Indiana Jones has done.
So that kind of sets that up. So and then at the very end,
once he escapes all the mines chasing him, he gets on the
plane. And then we find out he doesn't
like snakes, which is like his one weakness.
So we know his skill level, what he's capable of, what's
happening in the world, what will happen in the world.
And then we find out his one weakness, which is snakes.
He's so scared of snakes. It's like everything you need to
know for this movie going forward is established in the
opening scene, which is just impressive within the story.
So that's one of the most perfect parts of this movie is
that opening scene. Yeah.
I thought him and Bellic were going to be buddies at the end
of this. I honestly, I thought they kept
alluding to the fact that Bellic isn't, like, a bad person.
He just happens to always be there at the end.
At the end to kind of, like, take the credit.
Yeah. But it's like, all right.
Like, you did the work. I get the credit.
But like, we have an understanding.
It's a funny little relationship.
You got the guy going on. Yeah.
I got. I get the women, yeah.
So like, I just thought like what was going to happen was
that Bellic and Indiana Jones were going to realize that like
this the the Ark of the Covenant going to the Nazis or the
Americans was a bad thing. So I thought they were going to
be like, no human should ever see this.
And then they like not destroy it, but like make sure they do
something to where like nobody ever sees it.
I don't know. I just thought it was going to
be silly. Like the fact that Bellic like
kind of let Indiana Jones get away at the beginning and
Indiana Jones runs through the field, you know, does the Tarzan
rope trick into the water? He's like, OK, they're not,
they're not, they don't hate each other.
There's like just these rivals. They're just rivals.
And then the fact that like Indiana Jones at one point
somebody asked like, do you know where Bellic is?
And he's like, well, I mean, we're friends.
Like, you know, but we had a falling out.
I was like, OK, and they'll, they'll fall back in love.
Then at one point he's talking to just, I don't know, one of
one of the guys like in the country, like in the what
country are they in? Cairo.
OK. And the one the.
Location in the movie is Cairo. You're right, right.
But one of the guys, like, yeah, like, all these people that are
working on this, like, they suck.
They're so stupid. Except for one guy.
And then he says Bellic's name in Indiana Jones, like, starts
laughing. And I'm like, oh, they're kind
of buddies. He's like, you know.
But then, no, Bella gets his face melted off.
By God, I was like, well, there goes that.
There goes their friendship. Yeah, I thought, yeah.
Like, I thought Bellic, he was starting to because he had a
thing for Marian and he was getting annoyed with, like, how
they were treating her. They were like, pushing her
around, making it seem like he didn't have any power over her.
You know, I thought he was like, you know what, screw the Nazis.
But no. Nope.
You think Indiana Jones would
speak at Bellic's funeral? Nope.
He'd be like as RFK junior, Yeah, he's going to hell.
They get taken up to the skies though, so I thought that was
interesting that like after all that like, their souls seem to
go up to the heavens. A giant hole is formed in the
clouds and the beaming light goes to the sky.
Judgement day, then they go to hell.
Then they go to hell. Yeah.
Bat, like always, knew what he was doing.
He knew it wasn't going to be a good end.
Yeah, he's not a righteous man, and God saw it.
To the location they were in Cairo in the movie, but they
actually filmed in Tanzania, which is in Africa.
In Spielberg, when we heard of myself by Southwest, he talked
about the movie Lawrence of Arabia.
That's a movie he watches before every single movie shoot he ever
does because it's a movie he looks up to and says I'll never
be able to make anything as good as this movie.
OK, Actually him, Scorsese and somebody else went and they
restored the original version of this movie because when it was
first released back in the day, the producer didn't tell the
director or anybody, but like was having things removed out of
the movie to shorten it up so that way they could put it in
more theaters. Because back, you know, if you
have like a four hour movie, like we can't put this in the
fucking theatre, who's watching this?
So you like cut it down to get it to be able to be shown more.
But Spielberg and Scorsese and After the Other Guy love the
movie so much that they went in and found the original cut and
then restored it. They get the 70 millimetre
print. So Steelberg personally has one
that he watches every single year.
Can't they release that to us? It's probably available on Guess
they restored it so it has. Yeah.
He he just personally got A7 millimetre print for his home,
you know, theatre. Nice.
But so. We got to check that out.
Yeah, so they're filming in Tanzania for many days, and it
was brutally hot out there. Oh yeah.
I mean, you can tell because in movies, you know, we know this
from just our little bitty shoots we've done with shorts
and stuff. When you're outside, you know,
you have to keep blotting your face so you don't you're not all
oily and sweaty. They're in Tanzania, where it's
like 100 plus degrees. And so you notice that, like,
their faces are all blotted. But like, at Daring Takes, you
can just see, like, sweat just coming out of their face.
So they can't, they can't control it.
Yeah. That's how, you know, it was so
hot. But Spielberg and Lucas being in
Tanzania, they were struggling through the set.
But the one thing that kept them motivated to finish this shoot
and keep powering through the heat was that David Lean, the
guy that made Lawrence of Arabia, was 54 years old and
went through 14 months of blistering heat filming the
movie. Like if this 50, if this 50,
they're younger. It's like if this 54 year old
guy can suffer for 14 months in the desert, we can finish this
movie. That was like the one thing that
got them to finish this movie. 14 months in the desert?
That sounds way harder than the Revenant.
You know, we talked when we did that episode.
I mean we talked about like kind of the environmental conditions.
It's one thing and I would like this.
Cold you can bundle up. Well, but the other thing cold
is pain. I guess heat can turn into pain
too if it actually becomes blistering.
But like the problem with heat? Typically it's just like I, I
just need a lot more water and I need.
Shade, I gotta prefer the heat over the cold, but when it gets
too hot you can't do anything. And plus you're on a film set so
you have to wear like your outfit.
So you're like long sleeve shirts and shit even like if you
strip down your underwear it's still fucking brutally hot.
Like you can do nothing about it but staying in front of a fan
which is blowing more hot air on you.
I've filmed in the heat and I've filmed in very, very cold.
I take heat every time. I would too.
Yeah, but fourteen months in the desert, that would suck too.
I'm just saying like no, you're the revenue would be harder.
Because you got to get in the water.
Yeah, the revenue would be harder.
But but also it's newer to age so you probably have your warm
tense, heated tense to get in and yeah.
For me it's just as simple as it's like cold hurts, my hands
are cold and I can't feel them. You stop working, they stop
working, Yeah. Like, they stop working like
heat. Like, OK, go get me like a 24
case of water. Like, I'll just be chugging
these all day. Yeah.
And like, give me a night. Like a cool summer hat, some
sunglasses, like we'll, we'll make it through.
You know, as long as you like literally just hydrate.
You can put sunscreen on like you can take the heat.
Yeah. I believe got to be tough.
When Spielberg and Lucas are first talking about the movie
and even through production, they both had two different
ideas of who they want Indiana Jones to be.
George Lucas, again, Spielberg mentioned to him that he wanted
to make a James Bond movie. And so Lucas's idea was more of
a James Bond type character, like a Playboy, hooked up a lot
of women, was like a cool, very cool guy.
Spielberg wanted to go a more darker route to where he's like
an alcoholic, had a drinking problem, obviously, and was a
little bit more of a darker character.
Neither one of those things really made the cut, but there's
hints of it throughout the movie.
The when he's in the school, you know, teaching the class, all
the girls are fawning over him. One girl even has I love you on
her eyelids, like you're saying when Indiana Jones is in his
house and his colleague comes to tell him about the arc and like,
you need to go on this mission and he packs up and leaves.
He's wearing a robe and A and a tank top.
He's wearing that outfit because they shot it this way, but they
cut it out. There's a woman in his apartment
that he's about to like hook up with.
That goes the Playboy thing. But they cut it out for whatever
reason, probably trying to make it as much of A kids movie as
possible. And you see a little bit of
hints of, like, a drinking problem.
The really only scene of that is when Marion, Marion dies and
he's drinking the alcohol, you know, mourning her death.
That's like, a little hint of, like, his alcohol problem.
But like, you can just see, like, little hints of both of
their ideas. But none of them ended up making
the final cut. Yeah, which is interesting.
How old is Marion in this movie? Feel like this is a big
question. He's not a teen.
Need a need a big answer no? She said, well, she said she
told him, you left me. I was a kid.
You broke my heart, kid. Probably like, you know, 18.
Yeah, hopefully. We can only hope.
Hopefully, because like there's just when I got mentioned, it
was 10 years. She looks pretty young in this
movie. She's in the mid to late 20s,
around 2527. OK.
So we're going for 18. That's fine.
She was likely 15 to 17 years old when she first became
involved with the 27 year old Indiana Jones decade prior.
OK. So 15 or 17 years old in the
Indiana Jones, he's getting after it.
So there are other hints of the dark past.
Yes. Also, like, yeah, just the
students and all that. Like we're not getting
confirmation that he's not hooking up with these kids or
these students. He could be going the James
Franco route. I don't know.
I'm just saying it seemed like
that. It seems like he does, in fact,
like I'm young. He's a Playboy.
Just saying. Purge, Purge George Lucas's
opinion. Just saying he likes him young.
And you know what, I guess this is the this is the 80s
portraying World War 2. So I don't know, I guess times
were different. I guess times are different.
Are they that different? Are they that different?
Just saying, dude, you're talking about like the dark past
mixed with the Playboy. Like that's it.
That's all I'm saying. That's an island trip, that's
what that is. Indiana Jones on that list.
And actually, that list had a lot of scientists on it.
I've seen things I'm already going to hell.
Coolest little thing is that Indiana Jones.
Original title or original name? I guess title 2 was Indiana
Smith. Oh week.
And, and Spielberg had one note. He's like, we we got to change
his name. That name is terrible.
Yeah. And then I think Lucas was like,
what about Indiana Jones? He's like, there we go, let's do
it. Which has a way better ring.
Indiana Smith. Indiana Smith is diabolical.
Let's see what what I can think of right now.
Indiana Johnson. That's the same.
We're just using the same thing Indiana.
James, you're just, you're just
ripping off Jones. You're making a parody of
Indiana. Actually, Indiana.
James should be our remake. Yeah, Braids of the lost box.
Yeah. Oh, it's about women.
Indiana James just from LeBron James, Sir.
But anyway, so any but the name Indiana came from George Lucas's
dog, who was named Indiana. That's where got inspiration for
Indiana's first name. And George Lucas also used his
dog as inspiration for Chewbacca and Star Wars because his dog
was like a big fluffy dog. OK, like he wrote Chewbacca kind
of like thinking about his dog. Nice.
And used his name Indiana for this movie.
Love that, glad you brought up animals.
Also why this is not a kids movie.
They killed a fucking monkey. Nazi monkey.
No, he was chilling. He's a Nazi monkey.
He I don't care. He hailed Hitler, bro, there's
no such thing as a Nazi monkey. A monkey is just a monkey.
It's just a cute little monkey. They just happen to be trained
by Nazis but like. The funny the funny little funny
moment in the movie is. You can't kill a Nazi dog.
I'm just saying dude, like I was.
So I was watching this movie with my roommate last night and
like every time the monkey came on I was being stupid.
I was like hey what's went on a freaking monkey business.
Kept saying that it was very annoying whatever.
Said it like 6 times though because the monkey gets a pretty
decent amount of screen time for me.
I'm starting to get to like him. He like kind of, but yes, he
does betray them. But then it seems like he's like
kind of hanging out with Indiana Jones now.
Yeah, He's like, OK, he's. Just a monkey.
He's just a monkey. He's not a Nazi monkey.
And then like I say it again, I'm like, hey, what's up with
all the freaking monkey business?
And then they kill him. What the fuck?
What's up with the monkey business?
No, I like immediately dropped the hang.
I was like, they fucking killed him.
What? Again, I hadn't seen this movie
in so long, so I just forgot everything.
Yeah, forgot the entire thing. So like, I just assumed, like,
the end of this, like, dude, when the ending actually happens
and the faces are melting off, I was like, what?
Yeah, I'm thinking like, whenever Indiana Jones gets the
monkey, like, it's going to be him kissing Marion and the
monkey, And then the monkey, like, pops up and it's like,
funny. And he talks.
No, the monkey doesn't talk. But like the monkey.
See you next time. Votes yeah, maybe the monkey
like kind of gets them in some like predicaments sometimes
where it's like, oh come on, monkey, you know, just that sort
of thing. And he monkey, like they're
annoyed, like he's an annoying little monkey, but like he's a
cute little monkey. The monkey puts.
The monkey puts his hand between their lips.
Right, monkey. Yeah.
Monkey. And then you know the it's it.
The black circles close out the movie.
Yeah, Looney Tunes. Yeah, Looney Tunes.
Yeah, no, dude, death by poison. Motherfucker ate three dates.
He was gone. Yeah, dude, like, but again, you
think about like a kid, like a child seeing that.
And like a kid, I remember being a kid, I wanted a pet monkey.
Didn't we all? We didn't, we?
All right. And then they kill the monkey.
You don't get a monkey, kids. Yeah, just.
But the funny moment with the monkeys when he's with his owner
and the Nazis meet the owner and the owner's telling them like
where they are or whatever. He goes like El Sig or whatever
you say, don't clip that he says.
And then the monkey does it too. It's like, well, the guy does it
and then the guys do it back, right?
And then the monkey does it and like they're kind of like, oh,
they're like just have to do it. Like just they just know their
rules, their orders of command. So like half they have to
respond to the monkey. See, that's funny.
That's a little. That's a funny little Booney
tune. See.
Like, yeah. I'm getting you on my side.
No, but then they kill the monkey and they kill the monkey.
You like that? That's darker.
It's evil. The monkey gets killed, poisoned
to death by his own owner, killed by his own owner.
Oh yeah, Yep, sure is. See, that's twisted.
And so see, in the remake, they would show the owner like seeing
him, like he's watching, like making sure that Indiana dies
and then the monkey eats it. Oh God, RFK comes back again.
A funny thing with the Germans, the Germans when they speak
German to each other, they had to hire German voice actors to
dub over what the German say because the German that they
spoke was so bad, had such a strong American accent that the
Germans couldn't understand what the Germans were speaking.
Like what they OK, so they just weren't hiring German actors.
If they were German, they were American.
They didn't. They didn't know.
German. OK, OK.
German descent, I'm thinking. Yeah, 1980s.
Trying to find a German actor to play a Nazi could be tough.
Yeah. Could be kind of hard to to find
that. Find it inside you.
We know it's. Yeah, I just, you know what I'm
actually saying. Like, I don't know, I'm sure
somebody will be like, actually like, Germans were absolutely OK
playing Nazi themselves. I don't know if I'm buying that,
though, 'cause it, it didn't happen in this movie.
Nope. So those were American actors
playing Nazi soldiers. Yeah.
And they were doing such a horrible job.
At the German speak, Like if they never spoke German, I don't
think they're like subtitled German, but when they are
speaking German, like in the background, yeah, yeah, yeah.
They're like, what the fuck? The Germans like what are they
saying? Yeah, this is a German.
Yeah, so then they went and got German actors.
Voice actors have just. Done right, yeah.
The Germans are like, they're not going to see my face, are
they? Yeah, yeah, right.
They're like, because. Because I actually do still got
it in the bag. It's funny you ask.
I actually, yeah, I I do the Nazi German thing really well.
Yeah. Interesting.
This movie. This episode might get flat,
yeah. This movie is the only Indiana
Jones movie, and it's a franchise movie that got
nominated for Best Picture. Wait.
Repeat that. Sorry.
This movie, Raiders of the Lost Ark, was nominated for Best
Picture, which is kind of interesting to think about with
the being a franchise movie, but the first one hit so well that
it was a Best Picture nominee. Yeah, what?
What was it up against? This is 1981.
Let's just see we which is going.
To be 1982 Oscars, right? I get.
Yeah, yeah. Best picture.
The one that won was Chariots on Fire.
The other nominees were the Atlantic City on Golden Pond,
Raiders of the Lost Ark, and Reds.
I've never just asked any of these movies.
Did it win? No, no.
Chariots of Chariots of Fire 1. Gotcha.
Chariots of Fire, which is a sports drama.
Nice. In the class obsessed and
religiously divided the United Kingdom of the early 1920s, two
determined young runners trained for the 1924 Paras Olympics.
Eric Lydell. A devout Christian born to
Scottish missionaries in China. He's running as part of his
worship of God's glory and refuses to train or compete on
the Sabbath. Harold Abrams.
Hey wow, this is this sounds interesting.
Harold Abrams overcomes anti-Semitism and class bias but
neglects his beloved sweetheart Cybil in a single minded quest.
Sibel, you know what? Yeah, maybe that.
Yeah. That's why I beat Raiders of the
Lost Ark. Yeah, Chariots of Fire have won
a lot of these, won music. Well, I.
Mean Raiders of the Lost Ark won film editing.
Really. OK, well, I mean, what do you
think about that? Bad thing's good paste.
Well, yeah, yeah, there's nothing bad about the editing at
all. Yeah, it won art direction,
Raiders. You know what?
That makes sense. Yeah, I like that it.
Puts you in the world. Yeah, yeah, it does a really
good job of that. There are great aspects of this
movie and I'm. I'm only hating on it simply for
it just just couldn't quite seem if they knew it, just Spielberg,
he couldn't tell if he wanted to go more Schindler's List, Saving
Private Ryan or ET. But I don't know, I mean, in a
way you could say he kind of did the same thing with Jurassic
Park. And Jurassic Park is so good.
Yeah. Like, I don't know, I guess
maybe the whole I like, I like that he gave the explanation of,
like, the nightmares just being forced on other people.
Yeah, that's hilarious. That's a perfect way to explain
why this movie is what it is. Another cool thing you said
during that speech is that him making ET inspired him to have
children. Like, that made him realize he
loves children, like, wants to have kids and start a family.
It's like after that movie, he started a family like that, that
working with the kid actors. Like he says he still feels like
he was like, a not a parent, but like a figure, like a figure in
their life and he's still involved in their lives.
Yeah. Just feels very compelled to,
you know, like he loves those kids because he worked with them
on set. Just he fell in love with like I
want to be a father. I see, yeah, I mean, dude, I
like just, you know, I, I work in commercials mainly, but like
I do a lot of like there's a lot of kid commercials and I just
watching how big of a role it is for the director to get along
with the kids. Like that's probably the biggest
part of the job whenever you are a director for kids.
Like get them comfortable. Yeah, you have to like just.
And that's like you. Got to be patient, yeah.
And so that is that that's really cool that ET like had a
big impact on him because it just I I could totally
understand why it would, especially if you get like a
really good kid actor and like you just, you know, genuinely
like are having a good time, Like that's that's really cool.
That's really cool. I wonder what this movie did for
him. Maybe let him to God, I don't
know. He's Jewish, so he probably
already was. Well, he got to kill, he got to
melt off all the Nazis faces by the rabbi wrath of God, so.
There's a cool little moment with like the wrath of God
against the Nazis is when they put the ark in the crate and
they put their Nazi emblems on it.
When the Ark's in there, it like burns the Nazi emblem first.
It's like this can't be near. Me right, Yeah.
It's like a cool little touch. Yeah, I like that.
I like that. Yeah.
They're just, we kind of touched on it, but like just scary
aspects of this, like. But it does look good.
Like when Marion is bouncing around, like all the skulls that
are not even skulls, they still very much look like they kind of
just died. Yeah.
And then put like that one singular shot of the the snake
like Slytherin through the skull's mouth and then hearing
her scream, like cinematically, that's beautiful, that looks.
Great. Yeah, it's more of Jerry Shot.
Yeah, again, but like just one of those where it's like that is
not made for a child. No, no, it's insane.
It's just PG. Well, I mean, it's not insane
knowing the history, but knowing what we know now, yeah, PG.
But it couldn't be an R would do like like this is.
No, it's too silly to be an R. Yeah, it's literally, it's
literally PG13. Yeah, it's perfect for PG13.
Yeah, and they literally were the reason why they created
PG13. Yep.
You notice that during the bazooka scene, when Bellick's
talking to Nina Jones, a family lands on his face and like, goes
in his mouth. He just keeps acting.
And it's impressive. He's like, literally like a
little fly on his face and like crawls up and then you just see
it disappear in his mouth. Gross, bro.
No, that's cool though. That's cool.
I he was good. He was a good actor.
Bellick. Yeah, I liked him a lot.
He is Paul Freeman. Yeah, he's good.
He's good. Are you ready?
Are you ready to write this? Let's do it.
All right, All right, Greg, what do you have for Raiders of the
Lost Ark? I can tell there's going to be a
very different scores. For Raiders of the Locked Ark.
For Raiders of the Lost Ark, starting with acting, I'm going
to give it a six out of 10. What?
Yeah, dude, I just. Yeah, easy.
Yeah, I just. I kind of already explained it
like I like I think of the the bar scene when Harrison Ford for
like when Indiana Jones first walks in the bar and sees
Marian, just that whole dialogue.
I was like, this is just terrible.
This is awful. Could arguably be lower than a
six out of 10 now that I'm really thinking about it.
And so just stuff like that. I think it's also because I am
just convinced that this should have been a more serious movie
rather than going the silly route.
So their performance is just kind of like just some about it
like throws me off anyways. So not it might not even
necessarily be their fault, I just think like.
Anyway, 6 out of 10. All right, writing 8 out of 10.
It's a good story. There we go.
And I like I yeah, I definitely love just originality of it.
And then you, you know, I told you you could convince me,
telling me kind of how the beginning sets up the perfect
world for what we are about to see.
You're right. And we see like a lot of just
cool twists, like what they're tackling is very good.
Yeah. So like writing is 8 out of 10.
It's a solid, you know, editing 8 out of 10.
Nice. Same thing.
Like it's just, I mean, that's just it, it looks good.
It's very timely. Like, I think it has a very good
pace for what it's going for. I don't think like the ending is
wrapped up too quickly or anything like that.
I think just like. Yeah.
It's solid. It's solid.
OK cinematography 9 out of ten. There we go.
You know, I think this is like beautifully shot, like where
they are. We've already talked a little
bit about some like specific shots, but like camera work on
this was, I think very well done.
Yeah, like class act like very, very good.
I say all that say enjoyability 6 out of 10.
Like it's just like, you know, whatever, dude.
More glasses on. Got you.
He did. No, no, no.
Maybe I really what I need to do is I need to see it when I'm
just in a better mood, but I was just not.
You're in shambles. I was in shambles.
Yesterday and I was like, fuck this, 7.4 out of 10 for Raiders
of the Lost Ark, come for me, whatever.
Like, it's OK, Like everybody, we're the world's going to keep
spinning. And and that's it.
And I've explained my reasons for why I'm not the biggest fan
of this movie. So at least I'm not just hating
to hate. I told you why I it just kind of
throws me off. I have acting 9 out of 10.
I think it's good. I think it's like they.
You could think whatever you want.
I know the what the script says, what the, you know, the kind of
humor. I think it's all they're acting
perfectly for what the characters are meant to be
writing. 9 out of 10, that great story, the structure, the setup,
everything's kind of just like a perfectly little written story,
but it's not like crazy dramatic ending, but like in the sense of
like the theme or whatever, but it's just like a good solid
written story. Editing a sematography is kind
of lumping together at a 10 out of 10 for each of them.
It's because Spielberg's mastery when it comes to making movies
is his blocking of characters which then goes in the editing
of how they can piece these different shots together.
Because when that Spielberg is insanely good at.
When you watch this movie it's like holy shit even Jaws, all of
them, the first movie ever did Jaws doing this.
He's able to have multiple shots in one take to where he's all
like the way they can't the characters move.
Like you can see 4 characters in one shot and the way that they
move will tell you something about their power positioning or
like what's happening in the scene, like tell a story based
on how they're moving within the frame.
And then he'll it'll be a long shot and you have like 6
different shots where it's it'll start on a wide, it'll zoom into
a medium shot, get on a closeable 1 character, come back
to a wide. So he's using one take to like
show off a bunch of different a bunch of different shots, which
is just impressive. 1 of them is like when they're, when he's
talking to those like FBI or CIA guys, the government, U.S.
government. The first time that you know,
Indian Jones explained the arc and like what it does and the
staff of raw and all that stuff. There's like a moment when
they're all kind of clumped together talking, but you can
see everybody's face because of the shot.
And then when Indian Jones kind of takes the floor to explain
something, he like moved to the left corner of the frame, like
towering over everybody, like seeing that he's now the center
of focus of attention. That's just cool things that
they do within the camera. So like editing it together and
then the cinematography kind of cone together.
So enjoyability, I put it at a nine out of 10.
I like this classic childhood childhood movie.
I like watching it. Hour 40, solid fun world diving
into Indiana Jones to 9 out of 10 for enjoyability.
So my total score is a 9.5 out of 10 for Raiders of the Lost
Ark. You bastard all.
Right bro? Yeah.
I mean, we talked about doing like an overrated, like a top 10
overrated movies episode. This is this is one of those I
put in there. Going to be all of them.
Every Indiana Jones over overrated.
Oh, man, yeah, I know. Again, it's just one of those
like, I just wish, like, I wish they had gone the darker route
of Indiana Jones. It's just an alcoholic that's
just like, God, everything so fucked up.
Like look at who we keep everywhere we go, we just leave
dead bodies. There's definitely, there's
definitely opportunity to make it a darker story.
As Mary and I had to leave, so many people died for us to love.
They do kind of kiss on the darkness and the light
heartedness. Like it's just like they touch
the darkness, touch the scary, touch the comedy, touch the
romance. Like it's all very much just
like dipping their water, dipping their toe in the water
on every little theme they could do.
Their like vibe I guess, not theme vibe.
It's like God, Marian, like we've just left a path of death
and destruction behind us everywhere we go.
When we finally see the ark of government, the Ark of the
covenant, will God forgive us? Like that's what I want.
That's what I want. You want some giant thematic?
I want them heavy. I want them begging for God's
forgiveness at the end of this movie.
Then not God shows up. Not.
You will be forgiven. Yeah, not going to drinking and
hooking up, continuing their life of sin, which will
undoubtedly result in more deaths.
Yes, as the other movies do. Brutal deaths anyways, so yeah.
Any final thoughts on the old Raiders of the Lozer?
What do you think that just was? I want.
I want more. No, no, that's that's all I got.
Just I that somebody should remake this movie.
It should be darker. There's something there, though.
There's something there. Maybe they'll get it right the
next time. Yeah, no, that's all I got.
We left it out on the floor today.
Yeah, that's, that's what I had. All right, same thing.
Thank. God for listening to comment
