Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom | How Stories Work
Why we have a PG-13 rating: TEMPLE OF DOOM!
In preparation for Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny, I'm re-watching all the Indiana Jones content! That means all four movies plus The Adventures of Young Indiana Jones (formerly known as "The Young Indiana Jones Chronicles"). Today, we're talking about Temple of Doom. Topics include:
Does this film get too silly?
What do you think about Temple of Doom's intro?
Was it smart to move from a Judeo-Christian relic to Hindu artifacts?

My apologies regarding the clipping noises in this episode. Not sure why it recorded that way!

Customer Reviews
Five stars all the way!
This is one of the best story’s that I have ever heard!!!!!!
An innovative podcast!
The Story Geeks Podcast is doing what most geek style shows aren’t. They’re not just going deep into our favorite storylines or characters but adding the philosophy and psychological implications that most podcasts don’t.
Breaking down characters like Thanos, Superman, Aquaman and more for our enjoyment. Story Geeks is a must listen!
It’s awesome
I like story geeks they are pretty good and as said on the nerdsync podcast it’s not that bad I once stubbed my toe
