Episode 154: Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny
Josh's Something Old: Raiders of the Lost Ark
Skye's Something Old: Shrek
Something New: Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny
Josh's Proposal:
CYNICAL: I propose Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny’s primary purpose was for one final cash grab and it failed miserably.
UNCYNICAL: I propose Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny’s primary purpose is to end the franchise on a high note and it did… for the most part.
Skye's Proposal: I propose that the Dial of Destiny is to the Indiana Jones franchise what the Gerald Ford administration was to presidencies. No one wanted it. No one was excited for it. It was acceptable but mostly because it’s predecessor was a disgrace. And no one wants to see it again.

Josh's Something Blew: Netflix’s The Bubble blew chunks. Netflix’s Break Point blew my mind.

Customer Reviews
Great podcast
Just amazing!
Revising my review…
When I originally stumbled across this podcast it brought me to happy place. Movie reviews which were honest and funny, yet had a wholesome quality because of the Christian faith of the hosts. Sky Jethani is such an insightful speaker and also relatable due to his use of sarcasm and wit. After the Barbie review, I unsubscribed. I have nothing against the Barbie movie. My wife and daughter loved it and it did make me laugh and smile as well. It is the slow creep towards activist Liberal politics which has completely turned me off. The guest speaker in this episode, “Brian” discussed the “patriarchy”, Skye’s posts on YouTube discussing Anti-Racism and White Nationalism. I am not even a Christian and had listened to a few of Skye’s sermons because of what an enjoyable speaker he is, but it feels like this podcast is embracing political ideologies in the hopes of finding ratings. Yes Brian, human familial units and tribes have often been lead by the male of our species because for 199,900 years of the approximately 200,0000 years Homo sapiens have existed the world was a cruel, brutal and dangerous place and the larger, stronger and more violent male of the species took lead because he was able to protect the weaker in the tribe. Yes, over the last 100 or so years, modern civilization has allowed for the female of species to move around in general safety, where as the previous 199,900 years it may have been a death sentence for a female to be alone. Give me a break! The Patriarchy. I did not even bother to review or look up Brian’s name. I could find a million ridiculous Brian’s on any college campus discussing his victim status.
Great convo
Fun listen, great convo, love hearing movie recaps.
