PODCAST AFTERTHOUGHTS:

I love Indiana Jones. I even say in this episode that I’m big Kingdom of The Crystal Skull apologist. So I can get pretty passionate when talking about my favorite big screen hero. If you listened to the episode, you know there was one aspect of the movie that REALLY, REALLY didn’t work for me and I spent a lot of time on the topic as we discussed Dial of Destiny. In hindsight, I wanted to make it clear that despite it’s issues, I really liked this movie. It’s a solid Indiana Jones adventure. Because I grew up with this character, and I brought so much emotional baggage to this move, I’ll probably have to see it at least one more time in theaters before I really get a sense of how I feel about it. I could see someone listening to this episode of the podcast and thinking I hated the movie and that was not the case at all. So to wrap things up, I just wanted to clarify my feelings a little bit. Anyway, thanks for reading and thanks for listening! We really appreciate it!

MR. SUNDAY MOVIES; CARAVAN OF GARBAGE – INDIANA JONES

In the weeks leading up to The Dial of Destiny, the guys over at Mr. Sunday Movies took a look back at each of the first four Indiana Jones movies, and the videos are a blast to watch and funny as hell. The co-hosts, James and Mason, have hilarious takes on each film and the character of Indiana Jones. But unlike so many other movie YouTubers, they aren’t cynical or negative for the sake of a laugh. These guys love movies like this and it comes through even when they’re making fun of them. I highly recommend their YouTube channel and their weekly podcast. Check out their fantastic breakdowns of Dr. Henry Jones Jr.’s original adventures, right here:

PODCAST & TRAILER: Ghostbusters: Afterlife and Indiana Jones 5!

Published on by theworldsbestblogwithpaulwrightLeave a comment

Hey Everyone,

Paul here…

  The new trailer for Ghostbusters: Afterlife came out earlier this week, and it really got my nostalgia going into overdrive. Personally I thought it was a fantastic trailer and I love the way they’re going with it. You can check out the trailer for yourself right below. When I think about my favorite movies of all time, the films that I really connected with were movies like Ghostbusters, Jaws, Raiders of The Lost Ark. In fact, those might be my 3 favorite movies of all time. However I do love the other Indiana Jones movies. When I was a kid, I must’ve watched Indiana Jones and The Temple of Doom, Ghostbusters, Ghostbusters II, at least 1000 times. I was completely obsessed with those films, especially Indiana Jones. Hell, I’m still in love with those movie.

   I really became a massive film fan when I was about 12. So it was unimaginably frustrating for a burgeoning film enthusiast to hear or read about sequels to Indiana Jones and Ghostbusters sequels that never got made, throughout the 90’s. At least we eventually got a 4th Indiana Jones movie, with a 5th on the way (I am well aware that, for many people, the 4th Indiana Jones movie was by no means a good thing). Personally, despite the films many flaws, I’m actually a big fan of Kingdom of The Crystal Skull. With an Indiana Jones 5 on the horizon and the exciting new direction of the Ghostbusters franchise with Ghostbusters: Afterlife, I’m definitely feeling good about the position of two of my favorite blockbuster movie franchises. Take a look at the new trailer for Ghostbusters: Afterlife for yourself right here: 

Here’s a great video where the film’s Director, Jason Reitman, son of original Ghostbusters Director Ivan Reitman, delivers a very interesting trailer commentary for the Ghostbusters: Afterlifer. Where he explains a bit of the backstory, the choices he made going into the movie, and what he was trying to accomplish with this new film. It’s really interesting and I highly recommend you watch this after checking out the trailer:

So on this episode of The World’s Best Podcast, we discuss the new trailer for Ghostbusters: Afterlife, along with a deepdive into what makes the Ghostbusters and Indiana Jones franchises so fantastic!
