I watched the special last night, absolutely loved it. Laughed my ass off.

However, I get the feeling that maybe Matt and Trey haven’t actually seen the new Indiana Jones movie…? Because the special kept implying (and maybe even outright saying) that Dial of Destiny replaced or was trying to replace Indy with a chick in the character played by Phoebe Waller Bridges, but that wasn’t the case at all. Her character is the female sidekick of the movie, à la Willie in Temple of Doom, or more specifically Marion in Raiders. She’s not a replacement for Indy, and at no point is it implied that she will be.

This is perhaps the only time I’ve thought that maybe Trey and Matt didn’t quite have their facts straight, unless they did and it was intentional for reasons that went over my head.

I actually liked Indy 5 and thought the potshots at it were largely unwarranted, but the rest of the special was spot-on.

    That wasn’t the impression I personally got when watching it, but I see where coming from. I went into the movie with no knowledge of anything behind the scenes, and I’m not even sure I ever watched a trailer for it.
