About this episode
Chris and Lizzie discuss the troubled production and themes of 'Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom'.
It's time for the feel bad sequel of 1984! Join Chris and Lizzie as they explore how bad breakups and broken backs contributed to George Lucas and Steven Spielberg being branded villains by People magazine. Plus, why Ke Huy Quan's "Short Round" is the real hero, Kate Capshaw paying a steep price for not reading the entire script, and why we still love Harrison Ford even though he stole Short Round's lines.
