#108 – INDIANA JONES AND THE LAST CRUSADE

RETRO SHOCK: “Duck, duck, goose-shtep.” (1989) Sagas, trilogies and too many sequels were the marquee ingredients of Bob and Tim’s childhood. So, to start off the new year, they are wrapping up one of their favorites with the final chapter of that definitive 80s action serial, Indiana Jones and The Last Crusade. But, as much as their 14 year old selves love it, their current age can’t help wonder if they already saw this one but with an Ark. Oh no … are they really going to ruin The Last Crusade?

0 0:00:00  PRE-SHOW PRATTLE - not scoring that Fitbit sponsorship

00:00:51  NPRISH - and pfffft

00:03:30  MAY 24TH 1989 - a definitive Indy

00:07:33  GOOD MEMORY/BAD MEMORY -and the meta franchise quandary

00:12:10  MODERN DAY - a River Phoenix runs through it

00:21:30  REPLAYS OF THE LOST ARK - is this the origin of fan service?

00:29:10  OH THE HILARITY - Nazi hijinks and bad blue screen

00:39:04  A TOO OILED MACHINE - and staging a love story

00:46:30  OH HENRY … JONES - necessitating that father/son dynamic

00:54:12  OF COURSE THEY’RE TALKING ABOUT RISE OF SKYWALKER - and Good Reality / Bad Reality 

00:58:27 NOT JUSTINE BATEMAN’S SATISFACTION - is a finale ever enough? 

01:03:43  CLOSINGS - contacts, plugs and no catch phrase

See how Hollywood keeps a hat on with the behind the scenes take of the ORIGINAL THEATRICAL TEASER TO INDIANA JONES AND THE LAST CRUSADE.

Then go further behind these scenes with this in depth, half hour THE MAKING OF INDIANA JONES AND THE LAST CRUSADE.

Hear some of Bob and Tim’s own thoughts echoed far more eloquently through this SISKEL AND EBERT AT THE MOVIES REVIEW FOR THE LAST CRUSADE.

Play “What- Might-Have-Been” with a tale of two screenplays as originally analyzed in Mike Fitzgerald’s INDIANA JONES AND THE LAST CRUSADE: LEARNING FROM STOPPARD as featured in the March 24th 2016 issue of CREATIVE SCREENWRITING.

And finally read what could have been as ridiculous as the Kingdom Of The Island Of The Crystal Skull over a decade earlier with this unproduced 1995 draft of INDIANA JONES AND THE SAUCER MEN FROM MARS BY JEB STUART AND GEORGE LUCAS.
