#140 - "Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade" (1989) with Gerry D, Nicholas Pepin & Chad Sheppard

1989 was what some might call a good year for movies. The top-grossing films could easily be mistaken for anyone's favorite 80s movies list: Batman, Lethal Weapon 2, Rain Man, Ghostbusters II. You might even consider including Tango & Cash. But only one 1989 release brought back the iconic bullwhip and fedora.

Indiana Jones returned to the big screen in a blockbuster adventure full of humor, heart, and incredible stunts. Set in 1938, our hero embarks on a mission to rescue his father, a medievalist who has disappeared while searching for the Holy Grail. Following clues in Henry Sr.’s cherished notebook, Indy travels to Europe, reuniting with old allies while battling new Nazi enemies.

So, dust off your fedora, crack the bullwhip, and take a leap of faith with Tim Williams and guest co-hosts, Gerry D, Nicholas Pepin, and Chad Sheppard as they discuss “Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade” on this episode of the 80s Flick Flashback Podcast!

Here are some additional behind-the-scenes trivia we were unable to cover in this episode:

When Henry expresses surprise that Indy can fly a plane, Indiana responds with "Fly, yes. Land, no." This references his crashing a plane in "Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom" (1984).

Henry Sr. and Jr. point out that in Latin, Jehovah starts with an I, not a J. This is accurate, especially considering that the knight who recovered the Grail did so during the First Crusade. The First Crusade ended in 1099. During the Roman Empire, J was just a variation of an I, which is why their lowercase forms, i and j, look similar. The original pronunciation was very much like an I or Y. Its use as a soft 'g' sound did not appear before the 15th century.
