The movies are over, but the adventure isn't.
After rewatching every Indiana Jones film, Paul and JD take one final trip into the world of Indy by exploring everything beyond the movies. JD watched the entire Young Indiana Jones Chronicles series, Paul read one of the Indiana Jones novels, and together they discuss whether these forgotten corners of the franchise enrich the character or just complicate him.
They also dive into Indiana Jones and the Great Circle, the acclaimed 2024 video game that may have delivered the best Indiana Jones story in decades, before revealing what's next for Hold On to Your Butts.
If you've enjoyed our Indiana Jones season, thanks for coming along for the ride.
