Josh's Something Old: Ransom Lindsey's Something Old: A.I. Artificial Intelligence 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.

It's an opera of a science fiction.

Episode 154: Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny

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.
