Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull by James Rollins/ James Luceno / Fabio Laguna (w/ Patrick Belics)

As if preparing for this podcast wasn't enough work already, this week we discuss three adaptations of Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. First, the novelization by James Rollins. Then, the shorter junior novelization by James Luceno. And briefly the graphic novel by Fabio Laguna, which also rules. But let's be honest, we mostly talk about this movie and argue about whether it's underrated or rated just fine.

We're joined by filmmaker Patrick Belics, who brings his perspective on how to effectively tell a story, and whether this guy Steven Spielberg pulled it off.
