Cue the John Williams music, because this month we are finally tapping into one of the most beloved 80s adventure franchises!  No, not THAT one...the OTHER George Lucas franchise: INDIANA JONES!  

Now, as the internet informs us, the original title for this movie was just Raiders of the Lost Ark, but after the success of the franchise, when it was re-released it was then dubbed Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark.  Either way, it's still the story of a supposedly mild-mannered archaeologist who steals artifacts for the museum in his downtime.  Bonafide hunk, Harrison Ford, stars as the titular scientist.  In the first iteration of his adventures, he races against Nazis to obtain the Lost Ark, the ancient vessel that holds the Ten Commandments (yes, THOSE Ten Commandments)!  Along the way, he reunites with old flame, Marion Ravenwood (the always luminous Karen Allen), and pal Sallah (John Rhys-Davies) to prevent the Nazis from getting their hands on one of the most powerful artifacts of all time!  

Now, both Dan AND Chrysten remember nothing about this movie, but know they definitely watched it as kids so...this oughta be interesting!  Will this Steven Spielberg adventure live or die?  Join us and find out!  And don't forget to RATE, REVIEW & SUBSCRIBE!

Well, we got this one in just under the wire...Speaking of wires!  We had some minor sound issues with this episode, but it's still pretty funny, so hang in there, darlings!

Dan has been pushing to watch this movie for months...so after Chrysten made him sit through My So-Called Life, it only seemed fair to let him watch one of his favorite 90s properties... 

Dr. Daniel Jackson (James Spader) is approached by a mysterious woman who asks him to assist her in translating ancient Egyptian hieroglyphics.  After he successfully translates the hieroglyphics (in what feels like a matter of minutes) he finds that he has uncovered the gateway to another dimension, also known as Stargate!  Accompanied by Colonel Jack O'Neill (does Kurt Russell ever NOT play a guy named Jack?) and several other military types, they travel through the gateway into space and discover a whole new world that closely resembles ancient Egypt, presided over by a fierce (and fabulous!) ruler named Ra (Jaye Davidson).  We could tell you more about the plot here, but it's really difficult to explain, so you're better off just listening to the episode!  And don't forget to RATE, REVIEW & SUBSCRIBE!
