The very funny Kumail Nanjiani (Eternals, The Big Sick) kicks off The Spiel by talking about not only one of the best Steven Spielberg movies, but one of the flat out best movies ever made: Raiders of the Lost Ark.

Kumail, Vespe, and Wampler dig through this supernatural action adventure masterpiece, pick their favorite moments, reveal some secretly amazing screenwriting and filmmaking details, discuss some bizarre alternate casting ideas, and try to figure out what the secret sauce is that makes Indiana Jones such a cinema icon.

Laughs, insight, questionable topic choices... in short, the perfect kick off for The Spiel.
