Indiana Jones podcast? ... "You go first"
That's right, gang. Sean Daly and I are sitting down this afternoon to record our tribute to the Indiana Jones trilogy. And we're bringing back the big gun: Times film critic Steve Persall will join us again this week.
I can't wait to see how Sean manages to work a story about Molly Sherman into this podcast. (No jokes about "pythons" please.) However, everyone's favorite TV spaz has vowed to give us something special this week: A list of top 10 quotes from "Raiders of the Lost Ark" -- as performed by Sean himself!
The best part is that you and I can help decide which lines Sean will perform. So drop me a comment with your suggestions. Feel free to load up the list with "Marion Ravenwood" lines. After all, Sean and Karen Allen have legs that are nearly indistinguishable.


Relive the music, movies and culture of the greatest decade ever with Times online editor Steve Spears. A teen during the decade, Steve is obsessed with everything from Duran Duran to Journey, John Hughes to John Cusack, and parachute pants to Reaganomics.
E-mail Steve Spears:
THIS WEEK'S SHOW: Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers rock Tampa Bay. To hear the latest "Stuck in the 80s" episode now, 





I've always been a fan of "He chose poorly."
I know, it's a bit short. He could do the bit about Marcus Brody blending in, perhaps?

"Snakes? I HATE SNAKES!"
Posted by: Al | May 16, 2008 at 02:36 AM
Indy: There's a big snake in the plane, Jock.
Jock: Oh, that's just my pet snake Reggie.
Indy: I hate snakes, Jock. I hate 'em.
Jock: C'mon, show a little backbone, will ya?
Belloq: You and I are very much alike. Archeology is our religion, yet we have both fallen from the pure faith. Our methods have not differed as much as you pretend. I am but a shadowy reflection of you. It would take only a nudge to make you like me. To push you out of the light.
Sallah: Bad dates.
Also, if you guys have seen it, you should talk about the home movie those kids made, too. It's been floating around the webernets a lot lately, should be fairly easy to find.

Yay! to Steve Persall!
Temple of Doom is my least favorite. Kate Capshaw ...blech!
Because of that, I'm giving you a Kate/Willie quote.
Willie: "Indiana Jones, this is one night you'll never forget. This is the night I slipped right through your fingers. Sleep tight and pleasant dreams. I could've been your greatest adventure."

Marion: You can't do this to me, I'm an AMERICAN!
Marion: Well, Jones, at least you haven't forgotten how to show a lady a good time.
Posted by: Marissa | May 16, 2008 at 07:36 AM
The Knight in "Last Crusade" also says, "he chose poorly"
Indy: "Nazis. I hate these guys"
Posted by: Marissa | May 16, 2008 at 07:47 AM
A buddy of mine and I are always quoting Toht.
"We are not...thirsty"
"Yes, I know you will"
"Shoot zem.Shoot zem both..."

Raider's of the Lost Ark
Marion: You're not the man I knew ten years ago.
Indiana: It's not the years, honey, it's the mileage
Posted by: specialkness | May 16, 2008 at 08:29 AM
On one of the DVD features Lucas & Spielberg say that they were going through breakups when Temple of Doom was being made, and that's why the movie is so "dark." Maybe "dark" is their code word for "not as good as the other two."
I have to admit that the dinner scene from that movie is memorable though, in a sort of pre-Fear Factor grossout way. Which brings me to my suggested quote:
"Chilled monkey brains!"
Posted by: GlennS. | May 16, 2008 at 09:17 AM
"You wanna talk to God? Let's go see him together. I've got nothing better to do."
Posted by: Clark | May 16, 2008 at 09:56 AM
Marion: What are you going to do?
Indy: I don't know, I'm making this up as I go.
Indy: Snakes... why did it have to be snakes?
Saula: Asps, very dangerous. You go first.
Posted by: Bassnote | May 16, 2008 at 10:07 AM
Henry Jones: I'm as human as the next man.
Indy: I WAS the next man.
Posted by: Bassnote | May 16, 2008 at 10:14 AM
Indy: (to Marion) Trust me.
Posted by: Bassnote | May 16, 2008 at 10:23 AM
DON"T LOOK IN THE LIGHT!!!
Posted by: Douglas Arthur | May 16, 2008 at 11:10 AM
Here's my choice (and Sean has to do it w/the Short Round accent): "You call him Dr. Jones, doll!" BTW: maybe you guys can mention the Harrison Ford impromptu shooting of the sword-wielding man in the Cairo town-square (in Raiders). LOVE your podcast!
Posted by: Todd Heallen | May 16, 2008 at 11:26 AM
Too many good lines! We need a top 50!
We're always saying, "You chose...poorly" at my house.
Posted by: Steph | May 16, 2008 at 11:27 AM
Indy:" This is my associate Mr Round.'
Shorty:"Short Round!"
Posted by: Tom | May 16, 2008 at 11:33 AM
Steph you are right, a top 50 would just about cover it.
Here are some of my favorites not all ready mentioned:
Indy to the government agents "Didn't you guys go to Sunday school?"
Elsa "What is that?"
Indy "Ark of the Covenant."
Elsa "Are you sure?"
Indy "Pretty sure."
Indy emerging from the sewers "Ahhh, Venice!"
Dr Jones Sr. "I suddenly remembered my Charlemagne. 'Let my armies be the rocks and the trees and the birds in the sky...'"
Posted by: Rock_Vbrg | May 16, 2008 at 12:17 PM
Jones Sr.: We named the *dog* Indiana.
Posted by: Michelle | May 16, 2008 at 01:04 PM
I hate snakes,Jock.I hate`em!
Also,in Raiders after Marion`s "death",Indy to villain Rene Belloq:
-You want to talk to God?Let`s go see him together.I`ve got nothing better to do.
Or:
Belloq:-Where should i find a new adversary so close to my own level?
Indy:-Try the local sewer.
also.Marion:You`re not the man i knew ten years ago.
Indy:It`s not the years,honey,it`s the mileage.

My senior year in High School I was asked to draw up the cover for the yearbook and I actually submitted one with an Indiana Jones theme...it got rejected of course, but it was fun drawing it anyway. I wound up going with their lame idea of having a drawing of a class ring. I still like the idea of a fedora-wearing adventurer wielding a machete and a bullwhip silhouetted by backlight vegetation and ancient ruins on the cover of a yearbook. Woulda been cool. Oh well...I am sure there were copyright issues that a 17 year old just doesn't think about or consider.
Posted by: Douglas Arthur | May 16, 2008 at 02:13 PM
Indiana Jones. I always knew some day you'd come walking back through my door.
Posted by: lk | May 16, 2008 at 02:26 PM
Old Indian Elder- "They took the stone from here!"
Indy= "Let her go Moloram!"
Short Round= "Hold on Lady, we gonna for a ride."
-Temple of Doom
Posted by: Nathan | May 16, 2008 at 03:15 PM
Just finished recording the show, and it was a disaster.
Even Short-Round would disapprove.
I'll try to work my producing magic on it and have it online Saturday.
Posted by: Spears | May 16, 2008 at 04:59 PM
By "disaster," i mean the top 10 list was done badly. I doubt it will make the final cut.
Posted by: Spears | May 16, 2008 at 05:00 PM
Wait a sec! My acting was SUPERB.
It was more a matter of bad math.
Posted by: Sean Daly | May 16, 2008 at 05:43 PM
Was Sean confused that he was to say the lines and not sing them in falsetto?
Oh wait, bad math? Counting to 10 is a challenge? Boys, boys! I have my utmost faith in Spearsy's editing. Sean, I'm sure you were absolutely brilliant ... a sound glitch, perhaps?
Posted by: Marissa | May 16, 2008 at 05:52 PM
No, we were running late and rushed through it. I'd be shocked if it makes the final cut. Maybe an outtake reel.
Posted by: Spears | May 16, 2008 at 06:00 PM
Aha! That kind of miscalculation. I think we're all pretty easy to amuse and please. Well, except for Douglas. He's a stickler with the movie stuff.
Posted by: Marissa | May 16, 2008 at 06:02 PM
I told you Steve, the podcast is all you.
Posted by: Rosa | May 16, 2008 at 07:54 PM
Two votes for:
Indy: Snakes... why did it have to be snakes?
Saula: Asps, very dangerous. You go first.
Posted by: Julie Rothera | May 16, 2008 at 09:56 PM
"Julie Rothera" -- that name rings a bell. The same girl that Sean Daly talks about in previous podcasts?
Posted by: Spears | May 17, 2008 at 06:51 AM
Hey guys don`t mess up with that show!
Indy is my favourite hero of all time,so i want the best stuck in the 80s podcast EVER!!
Julie Rothera!! Now we want Molly Sherman!
Posted by: Miguel | May 17, 2008 at 11:39 AM
OK, the top 10 quotes made it through to the final show.
Posted by: Spears | May 17, 2008 at 11:59 AM
Hey,dude,where`s my show?
Posted by: Miguel | May 17, 2008 at 02:30 PM
Stickler for movie stuff? Well, yeah, I guess so. Sorry it was my life for almost 15 years. I guess it was a compliment of sorts Marissa, even if it was the coming from the knuckle side of your hand. :)
Posted by: Douglas Arthur | May 17, 2008 at 08:52 PM
My pimp hand is strong, Douglas.
Posted by: Marissa | May 17, 2008 at 08:59 PM
Please remove all rings and hand jewelry before taking a swat. I bruise easily. Like a banana on a hot day.
Posted by: Douglas Arthur | May 17, 2008 at 09:04 PM
Lucky for you, I don't wear any jewelry. It'll be swift.
