e274. Indiana Jones and the Legacy of Pulp

Last week the fifth (and supposedly final) Indiana Jones movie, Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny, finally hit theaters to substantially mixed reviews and audience reaction. Some have complained that it isn’t really giving them the vibe they were looking for out of an Indiana Jones movie while others have said it was a return to form and gives them exactly what they wanted out of the swan song of the franchise. Even the hosts of our show are all across the board on this one. So, on today’s episode Hannah, Mav, Monica and Wayne talk about the new movie, as well as the franchise as a whole, its historical significance and its connection to other literature. Listen and let us know your thoughts.

Vox Populorum is a blog and podcast devoted to pop culture criticism. We believe that the best way to understand culture is to discuss it. But we also believe that it's a lot more fun to have these conversations throwing back a couple beers at the bar rather than in a classroom. Please join our weekly round table of media critics, academics, creators, artists, professors, students and fans for an engaging discussion about movies, novels, comic books, television, video games, music or whatever else we happen to think of! Nec audiendi qui solent dicere, Vox populi, vox Dei, quum tumultuositas vulgi semper insaniae proxima sit.
