Episode 65: Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark

I'm going after that truck. How? I don't know, I'm making this up as I go! Tom DiGianvittorio joins us to discuss the film Raiders of the Lost Ark the first Indiana Jones movie in the franchise. There is a hilarious scene where Indiana Jones is about to fight this swordsman and shoots one pistol shot that ends the fight pretty fast. That scene was filmed that way on purpose and the reason why is a lot less funnier. Plus, the tone shift in Indiana Jones and Marion's conversation leaves a lot of details out and Willie explains why this frustrates him as a first time viewer and why do the Nazis exactly want the Ark of the Covenant? Is it just for power or is there another sinister reason they want it.
