Episode 303 – Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny (2023)

Ok, Indy, ok. Enough. It’s too much, you understand? The candy, the flowers, the cards, the singing gorilla-grams . . . it’s gotta stop. Sure, we’re doing a series called “Give Me One More Chance”, and yes, your last movie didn’t exactly smooth over what you did in the movie before it . . . I’m NOT being unreasonable and I NEVER promised I wouldn’t bring it up again! Stop gaslighting me! Ok, ok, don’t cry, geez . . . Look, maybe it’s not you. Maybe it’s me. We’ve done this dance so many times. What is this, the fifth time? We had one or two good times but I just don’t think you’re good for me any more. Don’t give me that look . . . oh geez, here we go with the eyes and the hat and everything . . . sigh . . . ok, I tell you what. Mike and I . . . we’ll give your latest thing, that Deal with Destiny or whatever you called it . . . right, right, “Dial of Destiny,” sorry. See, you always over-react . . . never mind, never mind, we’ll check it out again and see what we think, but if it still doesn’t work, that’s it. I don’t want to hear from you again. And I want my Sankara stone back!

  1. I guess you saw this movie so I don’t have to even think about it.

    Most franchises are a mixed bag and usually get worse and worse I have to say I have a love for the Muppet movies, I find almost all of them funny and smart, less so with their TV specials. I would love to say James Bond but while I liked the Daniel Craig films pretty well, overall I find the series a bit meh. The Marvel Thor films I have enjoyed quite a bit but a series that may not be a series but I wish it was are the first Adams Family movies. Sadly cut short by the death of Raoul Julia. I think they might have made a few more equally as good.

  2. A service we’re happy to provide, Vince! We’ll take that cinematic bullet for you!
    Bond is certainly a MASSIVE franchise, so of course you’re going to get some duds. I completely agree that Addams Family would have been a great franchise that had all sorts of possibilities; I’m glad they had the sense not to try to replace the great Raul Julia. Thanks!
