Welcome back! In our fourth episode we’re talking about a film that is near and dear to my childhood, and many other Americans: Raiders of the Lost Ark. Yes, I did find an adult who hasn’t seen this film! I’m not going to act so surprised as everyone was pretty incredulous about me and the Wizard of Oz. Still, much like that experience- I had not seen the film because I’d seen so many clips and references that at this point in my life I had felt like I’d basically seen the film. It wasn’t out of any perceived hatred or even really thinking that I wouldn’t like it. So when my friend Rocky Calsetta who has experience working on films - he’s done FX and makeup - had not seen this film I thought it would pair well with our other film this month which was the Wizard of Oz. Listen in to see how it went and if he wound up enjoying the film! Answers to questions in the episode: Yes, it was Ray Harryhausen. And the Dennis Hopper film Rocky was thinking of was the 1990 film, Flashback.
