Debaser: A Film Podcast - Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom (1984)

Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom (1984)

08/09/23 • 63 min

Indy returns to exploit, er, pillage, or uh, exhume the Temple of Doom!
Will & Jared do their best to discuss the much derided sequel Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom, but can they stay on topic? Is the film as bad as it's reputation suggests? Is the new love interest a shallow and offensive female character that was even criticized by the actress that portrayed her? Is there dark subtext behind this film's meaner aspects due to two of the creators going through break-ups? All these questions and more answered in this episode!
Beginning next week, Debaser will be taking a detour from film so there is no homework. Although Jared may be preparing an argument for Last Crusade being his favorite Indy...

Debaser is going on an adventure! Will & Jared are raiding the Indiana Jones franchise beginning with, you guessed it, Raiders of the Lost Ark.
Does the franchise resonate with millennials? Does Raiders hold up as one of the greatest films of all time? Is Harrison Ford going to play this role until he can physically no longer stand? Do we want to see the Gran Turismo movie? All of this and more answered in this episode!

Debaser Detour

Folks, you may have heard that there's a strike on!
In light of the recent dual WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes, Debaser is taking a detour from our usual coverage as a show of solidarity. Jared gets out his soapbox and delivers what he hopes is an informative and simple overview of labor unions and the striking labor organizations' efforts to secure agreements with the major studios that run Hollywood. Then, Will & Jared discuss what the pivot means for the show and the future topics they'll be covering. Will also debriefs on his time working at the very popular GenCon from last week. Later the guys geek out about another podcast they love: Guys by Bryan Quinby.
Our outro song is Song of Healing (Alternate Mix) by SilvaGunner.
