Episode 154 - Indiana Jones And the Dial of Destiny Review

Matt's Movie Lodgecast

We're back in the saddle again! Galloping along with our archeologist friend Dr. Indiana Jones played by Harrison Ford, who just turned 81 years old! We prepared for this adventure by recently rewatching the first four Indiana Jones movies in one day. The first three Jones movies from the 1980s were wonderful. But needless to say, Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull (2008) did not hold up, and our expectations for this fifth installment of the Dr. Jones saga were low. Director James Mangold takes the reigns from Spielberg this time, along with many credited screenwriters. This time it's 1969, and we're searching around the globe for Archimedes' Dial of Destiny. Harrison Ford leads the cast, which includes Phoebe Waller-Bridge, Antonio Banderas, Toby Jones, Boyd Holbrook, Ethann Isidore, and Mads Mikkelsen. Returning characters include John Rhys-Davies as Sallah and Karen Allen as Marion Ravenwood. Composer John Williams does some heavy lifting, scoring the heck out of this one at the age of 91! We'll let you know all the highs and lows of our final adventure with Dr. Indiana Jones!
