Something New: The Creator

Josh's Proposal: I propose The Creator is a well made, entertaining film but ultimately falls flat for me because I do not find A.I. compelling.

Lindsey's Proposal: Yes, it's packed with tropes and reminders of other science fiction greats, but that doesn't stop The Creator from being one of the best cinematic experiences I've had this year. It's an opera of a science fiction.

Show notes

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.

Something Borrowed: Harrison Ford Reflects on Indiana Jones' Legacy | GQ

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

Skye's Something Blew: Blew chunks: The Witcher Season 3 and Marvel's Secret Invasion. Blew my mind: Napoleon trailer and news about upcoming Superman Legacy being hopeful, not dark.
