After the success of Jaws and the success of Star Wars, two of cinema's most inventive titans, Steven Spielberg and George Lucas (longtime friends), came together to create one of cinema's most famous icons...Indiana Jones. Drawing from old serials and Charleton Heston's little-known character Harry Steele, Lucas and Spielberg formed a wholly original tale of mystery, adventure, and excitement. Raiders of the Lost Ark took audiences by storm. The two had another hit on their hands and Harrison Ford's character would rival his other famous role Han Solo. How does Raiders of the Lost Ark stack up against Lucas' and Spielberg's other classic creations? Join Corbin and Allen as they kick off their Indiana Jones retrospective series to find out!

3 years after the abysmal Halloween 6, which strayed so far from its roots that fans couldn't even recognize it as a "Halloween" movie...producers and writers for the next installement, in an unprecendented move, decided to scrap Halloween 4, 5, and 6 from canon, essentially meaning they "officially" never happened, and instead make a new film that served as a direct sequel to Halloween II.

Michael hasn't been seen for 20 years, but decides to show up on her son's 17th birthday. Promising a conclusion to the series, many fans view this as the true Halloween III, capping off the perfect trilogy of the Halloween series. Is this the best "Halloween" since the original? Does it provide a satisfying conclusion to the series on the 20th anniversary of the original that started it all? Join Corbin and Allen as they discuss the 7th Halloween installment to find out!
