Crack that whip and cue the trumpet, we're continuing our Spectacular Spielberg Summer Series with the one that started it all: Raiders of the Lost Ark! You voted, we listened (kind of), and this week we dive deep into the 1981 blockbuster that introduced the world to Indiana Jones and redefined adventure filmmaking. We also shamelessly veer into a few other Indiana Jones films—because once you open the Ark, you can't look away.

In this episode, we get into the wild synergy of Spielberg and Lucas at the peak of their powers, how Harrison Ford’s rugged charm became cinematic legend, and why the desert chase scene might be one of the greatest action sequences of all time.

Our trademark Spielberg categories return, we debate star ratings, reveal which of us tried to buy an Indiana Jones leather jacket at Walt Disney World, and confess that we may have rigged our listener poll just a little.

So grab your fedora, mind the snakes, and join us for an episode full of fun, nostalgia, and a whole lot of love for Dr. Jones.
