The podcast which discusses movies, books and TV shows in their entirety – without fear of spoilers. Presented by Paul Tyler with regular guest reviewers Rachael Burnett and Andy Goulding and produced by Johnathan Haw.
Itās the end of series 7 and the Spoiler team have finally got round to a Steven Spielberg film. So which classic have we gone for? āJawsā? āJurassic Parkā? āSchindlerās Listā perhaps? No, weāve opted for probably the most reviled film in this great directorās canon; the 2008 Indiana Jones revival āKingdom of the Crystal Skullā. With the intention of giving this fan-lambasted underdog a fair hearing, the team discover much to enjoy in the extremely-flawed but lively romp including a charisma-oozing Harrison Ford, the return of Karen Allen to our screens, a would-be-iconic reintroduction of the beloved central character and some fun, exciting action scenes. Hell, they even loved the ants! But donāt despair ā…Crystal Skullā haters, thereās plenty of downsides to discuss including easily-deletable characters, ropey CGI, cliched plot developments, awful accents and, of course, that lead-lined refrigerator. Also discussed is the ongoing debate on whether this film is better or worse than āTemple of Doomā, how Rachael was in love with practically every cast member from the original trilogy and why the blazes Paul has still not seen ā…Last Crusadeā. And just what is The āRatatouilleā effect? Andy explains.
Elsewhere, Andy becomes a treasure hunter himself as he goes searching for hidden Easter Eggs in vinyl albums by The Beatles, the Monty Python team and ELO.
This weekās scale: A Ā£500 bottle of Cristal from Fortnum and Mason or a bottle of Blue Nun from the corner shop
