About this episode

Pierre and Jeff discuss the legacy and impact of Raiders of the Lost Ark, exploring its significance in film history and their personal connections to it.

2026 is the year we look back. A year for reflecting on classic movies... live! In today's episode, Pierre and Jeff talk about one of Steven Spielberg's greatest hits, Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark! 45 years after its release, Raiders remains one of the most acclaimed films of all time. A film so central to the careers of Spielberg, Harrison Ford, and George Lucas it's impossible to talk about any one of them and not at least conjure the image of the archaeology professor and his iconic hat, whip, and jacket. In our first dedicated episode to Mr. Jones, our hosts talk about the legacy, their personal history with the film and the resulting franchise, and of course, Raiders of the Lost Ark itself. And maybe they sprinkle in a few threads that we'll resolve later...
