SHOWNOTES: Grab your bullwhip and fedora, because Collateral Cinema is covering one of, if not the best action-adventure movie series of all time: the Indiana Jones Trilogy! That's right: the trilogy. That's it. Three films. No others have ever been made and you won't convince us otherwise. Follow us for this special two-part episode; in Part 1, we'll be covering the very first installment: Raiders of the Lost Ark! Considered among the greatest movies ever made, this 1981 flick was directed by Steven Spielberg; co-written by Lawrence Kasdan, George Lucas, and Philip Kaufman; and stars Harrison Ford in his debut as the immortal character Indiana Jones—arguably his best role. Raiders isn't just a damn good film that stands the test of time, but a keystone of movie sub-culture, containing many of the most iconic scenes in cinema, and being the start of a celebrated American media franchise. Stay tuned for Part 2, where we'll be covering Temple of Doom and Last Crusade!

SHOWNOTES: Hajimemashite, yōkoso, and all that weeb shit. This month, Collateral Cinema is talking anime films—and by anime films we mostly mean the pre-weeaboo era of the 80s and 90s (you know, when anime was GOOD, amirite?). And whaddya' know, this is our first Studio Ghibli movie as it happens. That's right, folks; we are exploring Hayao Miyazaki's 1997 supernatural/historical fantasy classic Princess Mononoke! While considered by many to be Miyazaki-sensei's greatest work, is Mononoke-hime (as it is known in Japan) truly "influential of an entire generation"? Ok, probably not, but this movie is dope as fuck, and it's part of what's you weebs owe your entire personality to.

SPECIAL GUEST: Robert Stewart, Stew World Order Productions (@SWOProductions)

SHOWNOTES: Now dig on this... Featuring Stew from SWO Productions, Collateral Cinema dives into the superhero genre once more with the infamous third film in Sam Raimi's acclaimed Spider-Man trilogy. Starring the lovable Tobey Maguire, these campy yet fun live action adaptations of our our favorite web-slinger captivated audiences and in many ways defined superhero movies as they are known today. Spider-Man 3 is often seen as the black sheep of an otherwise masterpiece of a trilogy, but is there any value to its overly-goofy-while-dark-at-the-same-time plot? If nothing else, it makes for some delicious memes, amirite? Find out what we think, and if you enjoy this episode, let us know! And stay tuned for next episode on Monty Python's Life of Brian...
