Ep 212: Be Kind Rewind (Raiders of the Lost Ark)

This week, Pop Culture Pastor rewinds one of the most influential adventure films ever made. From face-melting finales to rolling boulders, fedora grabs, and John Williams’ iconic score, Dave and Cody break down why Raiders of the Lost Ark still works more than 40 years later.

They explore peak Spielberg, peak Harrison Ford, and why Indiana Jones is the hero of the movie, even though the movie isn’t really about him. Along the way: legendary behind-the-scenes stories, a surprisingly perfect Muppet casting, debates about what truly holds up (spoiler: almost everything), and a deeper look at the film’s core tension between faith and control.

Plus, a Pastor’s Corner that digs into why Raiders isn’t just fun—it’s timeless, primal, and still saying something meaningful about power, reverence, and humility.

Also: The surprising return of Kenan & Kel.
