Hello friends and familiars! The GenreCast is back for another adventure. We dust off our fedoras and take on the fourth chapter in the Indiana Jones franchise: The Kingdom of the Crystal Skull from 2008. The much maligned fourth film is being brought up in light of a brand new entry: Dial of Destiny. Has Crystal Skull aged like a fine wine? Or is it still a stinking relic? We're joined by writer, editor, and all around fun friend, Lucas Dunn. On this episode, we get to the analysis table to talk mid-1900s politics, passings of torches, Shia LaBeouf, and much more. Join us now as we work through another Indiana Jones tale.
