Before Alfred Molina was a movie star in his own right, he got his start in one of the biggest movies of all time, Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark. Didn’t the 27-year-old do a phenomenal job in his first feature?
Remember when Indiana Jones nuked the fridge, and we thought the franchise was over? Or at least it should be.

Well, it looks like he is back in Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny. At least, it seems that way, according to the trailer.
Maybe we can forget about Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull like we forgot about Halloween 3, The Godfather 3, and the first 3 episodes of Star Wars?
Hopefully, he goes out with a bang on June 30th! And we are not steamrolled like a huge rock ran over us. And if we are, may those involved find themselves surrounded by roaches like the ones in the Temple of Doom.
Let’s be honest after Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull; there was no reason to continue the franchise. However, they made a fifth movie, and it is coming on June 30, 2023. Are you going to see it when it comes out? I don’t think I can do it after they nuked the fridge.
Harrison Ford just turned 77 this week, and you can say he might be getting too old to play Indiana Jones. Yesterday on Conan, who is at San Diego Comic-Con this week, decided to hold auditions for his replacement.
Thomas Middleditch (who I am convinced could play Marty Feldman after this), Billy Eichner, Sam Richardson, Adam Scott, Seth Green, Tig Notaro, Mr. Kyra Sedgwick and Dan Chadle all tried out for the part. Kumail Nanjiani would have been considered if he actually showed up. However, he cancelled on Conan O’Brien minutes beforehand.
Anyhoo, of the bunch of them, I am rooting for the guy who could be Footloose around a boulder to take over as Indy. Can you believe with all the movies Bacon and Ford have done, they have never done one together? That needs to change.
For over 43 years, Harrison Ford and Mark Hamill have worked together, so they probably know each other well by now. They do.
When Luke Skywalker was on Late Night with Seth Meyers, he did a spot-on impression of his co-star. While I thought it was perfect, what does Ford think of his friend doing him? The other night when Han Solo was on The Tonight Show, Jimmy Fallon asked him just that.
When you watched him watching the playback video, you would think he hated it. Then after he put some thought into it, he said, “That’s me.”
I will never understand why Ford does not do comedies because his deadpan humor is so funny. Maybe he can do one with David Duchovny because they are both masters of that genre of comedy.
