WLM - Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade
Added 2023-06-02 10:00:07 +0000 UTCOn this month’s globetrotting W❤️M, the guys are chatting about the wildly good adventure sequel, Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade! Is River Phoenix’s haircut period appropriate? Did Marcus Brody get brain damage in Venice? And how in the world did they not immediately see that X on the library floor? PLUS: Indy and Elsa go on House Hunters International!
Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade stars Harrison Ford, Sean Connery, Denholm Elliot, Alison Doody, John Rhys-Davies, Julian Glover, Michael Byrne, Dakota St. Croix, Robert Eddison, and River Phoenix as Young Indy; directed by Steven Spielberg.

2025-03-15 16:34:25 +0000 UTCIt's funny. Is it a "the guys neglected to mention it" thing or a "it's so obvious that it goes without saying" thing but man, oh man is John Williams cookin' with the score on this one

2024-08-28 23:22:29 +0000 UTCCrystal Skull has an elaborate hidden passage that leads to the conquistador mummies. And the alien chamber is hidden inside a ziggurat that uses sand as a counterweight to hide it. Unclear how someone could ever reset it. Haha.

2023-06-14 22:06:10 +0000 UTCHave to love the ancient engineering that went on in this fictional world. We got rolling boulders and collapsible temples in the first. A slowly dropping ceiling (with retractable spikes!) in the second. And of course parkour blades and dropping tile floors in the third. I don't remember Crystal at all, except for 'fridge Indy', was there something in it besides alien junk. After all this the ancient engineers must have went to Oak Island next. Gotta protect that Templar gold damnit.

2023-06-11 17:54:29 +0000 UTCRingling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus operated two trains, the Red and Blue units, until about 2017 when the circus shut down. Strates Shows now claims to be the only traveling train carnival in America.

2023-06-10 02:55:57 +0000 UTC"Where does he get the barrel roll from?" Muslims kneel in a different way, so the vertical blade is supposed to behead anyone who kneels that way as well. Roll was maybe unnecessary, but it's a cool little detail.

2023-06-06 14:33:04 +0000 UTCRe-watching this and I realized that the circus train had a giraffe car with their heads sticking out and all I was thinking was...hope they dont hit a tunnel

2023-06-05 12:32:44 +0000 UTCGreat show and great movie. I wonder what you all (the guys and the patrons) think of a Henry Jones and… trilogy. Imagine it: instead of old-ass Harrison Ford hanging out with hippies or whatever, you’ve got a young vaguely Scottish man on a series of side-quests in his life long search for the Grail, against the background of the Great War, or the Raj, or whatever else was going on at the time. I know what you’re thinking, Henry Jones sr doesn’t like violence. Well, that’s why he’s a Maguyver type. Or better yet, he swears off violence once it occurs to him that the Christian God is real (unlike Indy). You could probably get James Mcavoy to do it.

2023-06-04 22:22:42 +0000 UTCThis is an all-time episode.
Michael
2023-06-04 17:24:14 +0000 UTCI love this movie. I grew up watching Temple of Doom the most and though I do love that movie too, watching it with modern eyes does provide quite a bit of perspective, so Last Crusade is my “safe” favorite of the Indy franchise. Perhaps even my favorite Connery movie as well! I dunno.

2023-06-03 19:17:40 +0000 UTCHaters gonna hate, this is one of the most entertaining movies ever made
Tim O'Connor
2023-06-03 16:35:29 +0000 UTCThis was one of your best episodes! Even when it is a movie that you all love very much, you all still have an ability to get good jokes in. I especially loved Panama Hat calling Fedora if they had lived the boat explosion. “Man, that kid we took the cross from took your whole thing. Its so fucking weird” 😂😂

2023-06-02 20:41:06 +0000 UTCJust what I needed to roll into my weekend with, been a long one. Saw it in the theater (I was 9), and probably my most re-watched Indy movie. Thanks guys!
Alex Miraski
2023-06-02 19:30:43 +0000 UTCAs recently as ten years ago, the Ringling Bros circus still travelled by train. I worked at a bank near some train tracks and one day we saw the B and B Circus train going by.

2023-06-02 15:13:52 +0000 UTCOn the subject of the rats, when I was a kid my grandad's next door neighbour was a rat wrangler for some films here in the UK. Unfortunately I don't know much about him, but I'll have to ask my family for some stories.

Lance Stein
2023-06-02 11:55:15 +0000 UTCOutstanding stuff guys. This was a real Christmas Day movie for me growing up, as the BBC I think had only this, Santa Claus The Movie and ET to show on that particular day
Christopher Bruce
2023-06-02 11:00:26 +0000 UTCThank you, WHM: this will be the perfect "pre-gamer" to listen to heading into the new film later this month. Thanks for this new content and hope the travels back were safe after the incredible West Coast tour -- as I attended both shows!
