Tintin: Cigars of the Paraoh
Tintin and his dog Snowy are on a cruise ship in the Mediterranean Sea when they meet Dr Sarcophagus, an Egyptologist who owns a papyrus that he believes will lead him to the undiscovered tomb of the Pharaoh Kih-Oskh (a pun on kiosk, a newspaper stand).

P.S. – I’m in my mid 20s by the way.
yes yes yes! MST3K podcast! i agree (under matthew’s verbally binding contract deal) to buy at least one bear shirt if you do a whole MST3K podcast, Joel or no Joel. this podcast must be at least ten minutes long and include all 3 major spoilerites. also, if i buy a shirt before the podcast happens, you are bound to produce said podcast within 3 months after the purchase. don’t try to trick me by shipping it late. love the podcasts. i’d love them more if there were more mst3k.
Red Dawn was the first theatrically released PG-13 Movie, Ghostbusters was rated PG, as was Gremlins. Concerns over the gore and violence of both Gremlins and Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom were used as rationales for the implementation of the PG-13 rating.
