Podcast # 257 - "Raiders..."

[Rico]

Just got the "Raiders of the Lost Ark" podcast up.  Had a great time doing this one, and even learned a few things myself I didn't know before.  One of my all-time favorite movies.  Simply perfect.  I hope everyone enjoys this podcast and thanks to those that sent in audio comments.  I really liked hearing your thoughts.  Enjoy the show!

Excellent. I'll save this for my three hour drive tomorrow afternoon :)

Looking forward to this one (saying that I look forward to all of them :) )

Loaded for the commute.  Love this franchise.

Raiders has always been my favorite Indy movie (Crystal Skull is a close second for me, if only because of a certain happening between Indy & Marion at the end of the movie).

I'm listening now, it is quite awesome!!

EDIT: Yes, I absolutely agree with you regarding the Indy films & Star Wars not being on Blu-Ray yet.  I'd HAPPILY buy Raiders again on Blu-Ray!

Glad you are enjoying the podcast.  Really was a lot of fun to cover this modern classic film!

[Bromptonboy]

Thanks for the great cast Rico, and to your usual cast of characters who made contributions as well.  ((My head is hung in shame here, one of these days I will do the same and send something in - and not just be a 'lurker'))

Great job on this one, Rico. I mentioned "Close Encounters o the Third Kind" in my comments, you've never done a show on that as I recall. that might be a great topic for you or  guest cast.

What a great show!!!!  Love Raiders!!! Love Indy!!!  Can't wait for shows of the other 3.  Unlike most people I have heard on other Casts, I LIKED Crystal Skull!!!!!!  I will take all the Indy I can get!!! On the Big screne and on Treks in Sci Fi !!!!  Great Job Rico!!!!

[Meds]

Awesome podcast made me want to watch the film all over again. Crystal skull was the biggest let down since realising Andre Agassi wore a wig. Badly scripted, badly directed awfull gopher scenes ( SCENES there were two of them George ( I love cuddly jar jar bunks style comedy rubbish) Lucas. Rubbish ending ( before the final scene) and Shia Le crap.
Ok rant over. That's my opinion and as usual we can't like the same thing. :)

I do heartily agree with Rico on the making of book it's amazing, awesome stories and beautifull photographs. For the price it really is worth it. :)

Meds don't sugar-coat how you feel about Crystal - tell us your true opinion..  ;)

I haven't seen the 4th movie yet - but I intend to check it out.  My favorite actress - Cate Blanchett - hasn't disappointed me yet - we will see if she keeps 'batting a thousand' ('perfect record' slang for our non-North American brethren).

Even the the great Cate can't save that steaming pile...

*lol*
There's nothing wrong about Crystal, you should be nicer to a forum member! ;)

Having Indy in a scifi podcast is stretching it, but damn, it's a very good movie! :)
Didn't know much about anything beyond the movie itself with the exception of that Spielberg Lucas discussion that was taped.

(There is a download link in this article, it seems genuine but as it is a humor site I can't guarantee anything.)

So it was very interesting for me to hear more about the behind the scenes stuff, it certainly closed a huge gap in my knowledge!
Thanks Rico for the excellent podcast and also to the contributers of the audio comments, you rock! :)

Glad folks are enjoying this podcast.  Had a blast covering one of my favorite films.

Katrin - just for the record, "Treks in Sci-Fi" is not just a sci-fi podcast, despite the name.  The focus is mainly on Star Trek, but I also cover other sf, fantasy, adventure and various other forms of entertainment.  And there is plenty of adventure and fantasy elements in "Raiders" and the Indy films to qualify.

[Bryancd]

Indeed, Rico has covered a many different genre's beyond sci-fi including action/adventure, fantasy. We will know the show has gone completely off the reservation when he starts reviewing romantic comedy's, however... ;)
