The Indiana Jones franchise might be out of time, but maybe that's why the fifth and final entry, Dial of Destiny, is about time! And it's about time we review it. Harrison Ford returns, naturally, as the titular adventurer, now in his golden years as the series enters 1969. But you know who doesn't return? Steven Spielberg! Or George Lucas. Since its premiere at Cannes, Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny has certainly divided critics and longtime fans alike. But we'll do our best to excavate our own thoughts on a movie that may or may not belong in a museum.
Dial of Destiny was directed by James Mangold, who co-wrote it with Jez Butterworth, John-Henry Butterworth, and David Koepp. In addition to Ford, the cast includes Phoebe Waller-Bridge, Antonio Banderas, Toby Jones, Boyd Holbrook, Ethann Isidore, John Rhys-Davies, Karen Allen, and Mads Mikkelsen. The film opened nationwide on June 30 through Disney and Lucasfilm and has a 154-minute runtime.
Our intro music this week is “Gato” by TyLuv. & Strehlow.
