Indiana Jones Minute

Will Short Round be able to get his elephant through customs? Is it possible the bats we're seeing are really just big birds? Christopher di Guardia joins the single-file parade with some answers.

Willie Scott rides an elephant to comical effect, the shaman might not know what scene he's in, and someone please get guest Steve Kreuch a phone so he can call his old boss Irvin Kershner.

Did you know this movie is about fortune and glory? Neither did we! And neither did Short Round, who almost learns about sankara stones from Indiana Jones, but if he wants to learn about the birds and the bees he's going to need to ask guest Steve Kreuch.

Indiana Jones helps a frail, wheezing child and then forgets about her completely when he sees that she has brought him a plot point. Steve Kreuch is here to read by the light of Indy's gold lust.

Turns out the villagers didn't only lose a rock. Indiana Jones translates a sad story while Christy Porter helps us translate the screenplay.

Indiana Jones shows off to the villagers that he knows about stones and the universe, and guest Heather Airgood has some terrible news for the diamond-powered flashlight industry.

The Shaman explains that Shiva made Indiana Jones fall from the sky to bring back the Shivalinga Stones (and nothing else). Scott Rosann returns to discuss Indy's character arc and sad TV theme songs.

The Shaman laughs and points as he tells Indiana Jones he's now a member of Team Shiva. Scott Rosann laughs and points as Pete and Gerry tell him they know Short Round's real name.

It takes a village to get Willie to eat, Short Round reads the room, and the Shaman tells Indiana Jones he will go to Pankot Palace to meet the new Maharajah. Crystal Beth joins us one more time to talk life, love and Willie Scott.

A kindly villager offers Short Round a new life and Willie Scott politely attempts to decline a dinner invitation. Crystal Beth returns just in time to dig in.

After some magical guidance from the Shaman, Indiana Jones strolls breezily into Mayapore Village and finds a warm welcome. Crystal Beth strolls in from the Fifth Eleminute to explain how it's done.

Indiana Jones tells his friends that they've arrived in India as they float lazily down a river and meet a new friend (while cradling the head of an old one). David Stoker and Chris LaSalle join us again to help answer an age old question.

Lao Che's Snowspeeder crashes into a Hoth mountainside as the Jones family goes for a ride down the mountain in the family sedan. David Stoker and Chris LaSalle beam over from the Star Trek Minute to help us make sense of it all.

Indiana Jones decides that a free falling raft is a much better transit option than a free falling plane and tells Short Round what to do in case of emergency. Guest Jim O'Kane decides this may be just the moment to join them.

Willie Scott wakes Dr. Jones just in time for him to learn the basics of general aviation. Tom makes a bold claim about this scene, Gerry starts looking around for the airsickness bag, Mark Cerulli eyes the emergency exit and Jim O'Kane explains NASA's famous Indy solution.

Lao Che's pilots decide to exit plane left but are polite enough not to wake their peacefully sleeping passengers. Jim O'Kane and Mark Cerulli from the Airport Minute stop by to discuss proper fuel management techniques.

Willie Scott and Indiana Jones engage in some in-flight bickering, then stop off for lunch in Chungking with our guests Alex Robinson and Pete the Retailer from the Star Wars Minute.

Weber might think this deal is getting worse all the time as he loads Indy and company onto a plane owned by Lao Che, Indy finally gets into his Indiana Jones costume, and Pete and Alex from Star Wars Minute give us a free t-shirt idea.

Short Round hates rickshaws, Lao Che hates windows, and Indiana Jones hates Willie Scott, but still gives her a plane ticket to the bafflement of Pete and Alex from Star Wars Minute.

Chased by Lao Che through the streets of either Hong Kong or San Francisco, Indiana Jones finds that Willie Scott is the antidote to love, and Pete and Alex from the Star Wars Minute grant Indy custody of Shorty based on the gift of a hat.

Kao Kan has a blast with a tommygun, Indiana Jones ruins the Gong Show before dragging Willie Scott out a window with him, and our guests Pete the Retailer and Alex Robinson from the Star Wars Minute help us judge a kid and his music.

Indiana Jones dives head first into the Club Obi Wan melee and comes up with a musical approach to self-defense. J.W. Rinzler joins us again to discuss sound, tone, editing, and political correctness.

Indiana Jones shares a delicious pigeon skewer with Lao Che's son just before Club Obi Wan erupts into an exuberant dance-filled fracas. Special guest J.W. Rinzler stops by to talk James Bond, EC Comics and the magic of rhythmic fight choreography.

Lao Che gives Indiana Jones his permission to stab Willie Scott to death, but first Wu Han gets to die. Gerry will not stop throwing dinosaur eggs around the room, but Christy Porter is here to chuck them back.

Lao Che gets Nurhaci, Willie Scott gets a fork in the side, and Christy Porter is back to help us weigh Indiana Jones's heart against a diamond.
