DIRECTOR'S CUT: Psychology of a Hero: INDIANA JONES (Patreon)

How do you let people in after being hurt? What's your favorite Indiana Jones film?

Licensed therapist Jonathan Decker and filmmaker Alan Seawright are dressed and ready to dive into the hero journey of Indiana Jones across five films (but mostly the original three). Indiana Jones is the hero of their youth, but they’re going deeper to look at the strong emotional arcs of Indiana and where he arrives at the end of the final film. They talk about Indy’s interpersonal struggles, particularly with Marion and his father, and how he learns to be vulnerable. Alan sprinkles in movie trivia and explains how Steven Spielberg plays with tone so well.
