Before The Snyder Cut of the Justice League changes cinema - and humanity - forever, Warner Bros gave us a Christmas Day gift: Wonder Woman 1984, directly to HBO Max.

The new movie well has been running pretty dry lately. So, this week, David Melly from the Run Your Mouth Podcast joins to review an action adventure classic: Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark, now streaming on Netflix! We talk about why the film still holds up and what makes it so different from the blockbusters we get now. We also discuss the Indy IP, who could play the next Indiana Jones, and whether Harrison Ford still has what it takes for the alleged Indiana Jones 5. Plus, we discuss watching some Disney+ duds and experiencing long overdue classics.

Sigh...well, I guess they can't all be winners. This week, Brett Bohan from Bohan Reviews bravely joins me to review the Disney+ disaster, Artemis Fowl.
