Ep 345: Hot Takes - John Wick Chapter 4

Here is our NON-SPOILER review of Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny! The good news off the top, we both really like the movie, so forget those French critics, go see INDY! We get into the aspects of the movie we enjoyed most, how Mangold did taking over the mantle from Spielberg, how Harrison Ford's performance stacked up, and the strength of the story, effects, and supporting cast, including the BEST Indy villain since Raiders of the Lost Ark. We also share some criticisms as well, but overall we can safely say this movie is a worthy addition to the Indiana Jones franchise, and a wonderful send-off for our hero, Harrison Ford. 

We'll have a spoiler review out next week when the movie arrives, but for now enjoy this non-spoiler review to get you ready for INDIANA JONES AND THE DIAL OF DESTINY!

REVIEW! Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny (NO SPOILERS)

Mike Burdge and Reeya Banerjee chat their way through Todd Haynes' latest, provocative dark-comedy, May December, which is equal parts sickeningly uncomfortable and laugh-out loud funny.
