Raiders of the Lost Ark (1981) (with Sam Edwards)

The Franchisees

The Franchisees are back with a new, exciting franchise: the Indian Jones films! Action, adventure, romance, and goofball gags galore. Directed by friend of the pod Steven Spielberg (FKA Sammy Fabelman), the first film in the series Raiders of the Lost Ark is considered to be one of the greatest action-adventure films of all time. A non-stop thrill ride filled with examples of Spielberg's brilliant framing, blocking, and editing. Iconic set piece after iconic set piece. Young Sammy is really going places!
Alex and Ben are joined by their longtime friend/enemy of the pod Sam Edwards. The trio discuss the film in-depth, making sure to highlight all the glorious, goofiest moments. There's also a Very Special Episode of popular segment Benny's Business Corner that you won't want to miss.
We'll be back next week with the shrillest and most obnoxious sequel of Spielberg's career: Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom.
