On the December 7, 2022 episode of /Film Daily, /Film editorial director Peter Sciretta is joined by no one to answer some Indiana Jones emails in the Mailbag and discuss the latest film and TV news, which all circles around Avatar: The Way of Water.

Opening Banter: We are transferring our podcast over to a new host so if there is any wonkiness, we apologize in advance!

In The Mailbag:

• Gert from The Netherlands writes in “When it comes to the future of the Indiana Jones franchise, deep faking Harrison Ford for a feature length movie could be done - but shouldn’t be done. That being said I doubt Ford would ‘sell’ his likeness to be used for all of eternity ;)  I always thought a series following a young group of archeological students (taught by Jones) on many adventures - could work. Throw in a few ‘legacy’ characters like Mutt or Short Round to tie everything together.  The show would simply be called: RAIDERS. It borrows from the original title of the first film and should be recognizable enough using the right font.”

In The News:

• Avatar: The Way Of Water Early Buzz: James Cameron Does It Again In Visually Stunning And Emotional Return To Pandora
