On this week’s episode, Sonny Bunch (The Bulwark), Alyssa Rosenberg (The Washington Post), and Peter Suderman (Reason) ask if the apparent dismantling of Turner Classic Movies is a controversy or a nontroversy, before musing over what the channel should look like in a streaming-first world. Then they review Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny. Can James Mangold replace Steven Spielberg? Is it even fair to ask him to do so? Make sure to swing by Bulwark+ on Friday for our bonus episode on the most “significant” political movies. And if you enjoyed the episode, share it with a friend!
'Destiny' Comes for Indiana Jones
okay..I felt like i was listening to political pundits talk about ageism again and again and again. Who cares how old he is, he still pulls his weight and delivers in his scenes. He is done with Indy. He said so. You'll have your next young Indy soon, the studios like Marvel and Disney will create an illegitimate Indy child or a cyborg like Clausen. It's what they do. God forbid we do something new. We all knew he was going to look old, he told us. This is the end of this part of the franchise. Now we gotta find a different director who gets the synergy with indy and you know Paramount and LucasFilm won't let this franchise die a natural cinema death. Give 'em 4 -5 years.
TCM is a form of collective history for Hollywood and America. I use it often and love it. The movies can be watched as you want to, it wasn't live TV at one time. Am I getting this wrong?
I dislike live events. too chaotic and noisy
