Part 5/11:

Indiana Jones underwhelmed at the box office, earning only $82 million over opening weekend, far below expectations. Brett dissected the latest installment, criticizing its heavy CGI, aging Harrison Ford’s physical decline, and the story’s sad state.

In entertainment, the Kevin-traditionalist side of the crew lamented the overuse of CGI, de-aging, and recycled tropes. Brett emphasized that purely practical effects and authentic filmmaking created timeless classics, unlike today’s reliance on digital fakery.
