In this episode Kieran and I continue our coverage of classic advertisements with a look at the Nescafé ads featuring the Gold Blend couple (Anthony Head and Sharon Maughan). So you can expect lots of coffee chat (with a little tea talk thrown in for good measure), with Kieran having much to say about Australia's coffee culture. Oh, and the episode ends with the debut of the 90s theme music, as this episode is technically both an 80s ep AND a 90s episode.

67- Raiders of the Lost Ark, Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom & Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade (1980s, Steven Spielberg #8)

Okay, this week I once again return to the SpielbergPod archives and to three episodes recorded back in 2015/2016. And these cover 'Raiders of the Lost Ark' (which I covered with Jake), 'Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom' (which I discussed with Paul) and 'Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade' (which Kieran and I talked about). So obviously, these were recorded many, many years ago (before 'Dial of Destiny' was even a glint in James Mangold's eye) but there's still some absolute gold here. And some impressions which, while were genuinely done out of love for these films and these characters, haven't aged well. Soz.
