Following the massive success of Raiders of the Lost Ark, Spielberg and Lucas teamed up once again to craft a fresh and exciting adventure for everyone's favorite treasure hunting professor. Three years after the first film, this movie takes place as a prequel of sorts, placing Indy in the mysterious India with a brand new cast of characters. What begins as a cartoonish adventure, rapidly descends into a festival of paganist horror that had parents up-in-arms. The dark nature of this movie actually led Spielberg to push for the invention and implementation of the PG-13 rating; which would be used only three months later on the movie Red Dawn. So with this installment having radical tone shifts and a paganist worldview is this still a worthy successor and one you should watch? Join Corbin and Allen as they delve into the temple of doom to find out!
