3.0 Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny (2023) ”Tuk-Tuk”

Time Babble

Welcome to the Time Babble goes to the Movies Summer Special!

This week, we’re babbling about Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny, released in cinemas summer 2023.

The film stars Harrison Ford (obvs), alongside Phoebe Waller-Bridge, Toby Jones, and some old(er) familiar faces. It’s the first in the series not directed by Steven Spielberg, or with story input from George Lucas. Consequently, it’s a fun, if slightly fluffy ride, and nowhere as bad as ‘the Indy film that dare not be named for fear of a curse’.

Once again, (a heavily de-aged) Harrison Ford is fighting them pesky Nazis, whilst a regularly aged Harrison Ford is coming to terms with his 1960s retirement. But hold on there! He’s soon back on the archeological hunt, racing around in Tuk-Tuks and resolving the classic conundrum of whether a horse can run faster than a subway train.

Indy also gets to meet all the famous people. But which is the most famous? The answer is obvious, if we cared to tell. Which naturally, we don’t.

So, does the film belong in a museum for future generations to admire, or does it sink to the bottom of the bath along with Archimedes’ potatoes?
