Steven Spielberg has essentially disowned his work on "Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom," but host Jeff Commings and guest co-host Erik Woods are here to convince you of the marvels within the film and the score. From the wonderful renditions of the Raiders March to the heroic melodies for the slave children and Short Round, there's plenty to appreciate about the score. We'll also talk about that cute throwback (or, since this is a prequel, a "throw-forward") to the sword trick fight from "Raiders of the Lost Ark" and how the film influenced a completely new ratings system. Brush up on your Sanskrit and watch out for crocodiles as we take a journey into the Temple of Doom!

Jeff, I’m a little surprised to learn that people don’t like this movie or score. It has been a favorite of my family’s for years (although my parents would make us fast forward the heart scene). I agree that Short Round’s Theme and the slave children theme are my favorites! But I learned so much about this score and I now appreciate it even more, so thank you both!
