Great podcast guys the part about Indian jones meeting han solo was good i did not know that.I will be picking up the star wars tales book and i also wikipedia Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis this should have been the fourth movie what a great story, but i see why it was not used nazi again being used . what good points on the age character like bond and comic book hero batman being replace by different actors but indy one i dont see changing lets leave well alone . Therefore i just wanted to say thanks for all the info and the temple of doom was not a bad movie i lked it alot.
man i heard the word for the contest but he says it to quick
Ok, I forgot about Speed Racer! I should have qualified my statement as “the worst movie I’ll see this summer.”
Also, a thank you to Rodrigo for the back up on the ‘Stargate’ point. Stephen, you’re right, aliens helping primitive cultures did not start with Stargate, but at this point, it has been done a lot, and better, by others.
As always, great pod cast guys. Can’t wait for next week’s.
