Marvel Star Wars Explorers

As Indiana Jones and his students embark on a field trip to exotic Arizona, Sam and Brian welcome Jeff Eckman back to the show to mourn the death of a true Star Wars legend... The Acolyte. Also, we dive deep into The Twilight Zone and Shyamalan, determine what soda jerks and Double Dip Tummy Teasers are, and talk too much about modern Star Trek. 

As Indiana Jones arrives in Barcelona to search for a fabled piece of Christian history, Cam arrives on the podcast to help us wrap up our coverage of The Acolyte, to help us solve the mystery of what The Mystery of the Blues refers to, and to ruminate on our experiences with real live bulls.

As Indy and Sallah track down the Chachapoyan Fertility Idol once again in the city of Marrakesh, we welcome Ryan Davis back to the show to dive into the exciting and/or underwhelming reveals of the second big Acolyte flashback, mouth bullets and caimans of the Further Adventures, and an examination of the state of debate fans have had with Indiana Jones for decades. 

As Indy travels with Marion to the African continent in search of a tribe rumored to have splintered from Atlantis itself, we welcome back John Parton to dive deep with us into the triumphs and failures of The Acolyte's writing, to marvel at the insane asshole that is Old Indy, and to bask in the undeniably strong Indiana Jones vibes of this two-part comic storyline.

As Indy attends the opening of the new nightclub, The Raven's Nest, in Manhattan, we welcome Nate Tapp back to the podcast to chat about Wookiee Jedi, Smilin' Kylos, and 80's-esque soundstages in The Acolyte, then we journey into the heart of darkness with Young Indy, before gushing over the introduction of Marion in these comic pages. 

As Indy travels across the pond to investigate an ancient artifact discovered at Stonehenge, we welcome our Canadian Correspondent Geoff Clarke back to the pod to hear about his history with issue 5 of this series, to lament the death of Star Wars, and to Find Our Fate, with our uncle Indiana Jones.

As Indy parachutes into the dangerous hills of the American South and/or Scotland, Barm lands back on the podcast and right into our first impressions of the new hotness that is The Acolyte, an elderly Indiana Jones orgy, a kind of baffling Indy comic issue, and Sam's bowl that was stolen from his work break room.
