Good morning, Rat Rock Nation!   It’s Davey Mac here…and as you may or may not know…I’m a massive George Lucas and Steven Spielberg fan.   And no movie franchise combines the forces of both of these story-telling geniuses quite like Indiana Jones.

With Lucas creating the story and producing…and Spielberg lending his mastery as a director…throw in megastar Harrison Ford in the title role…and insert the greatest film composer ever in John Williams to do the score…and the Indy movies are basically the cinematic equivalent of a rock and roll supergroup.

And with Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny hitting theaters on June 30th…we thought we’d revisit this legendary franchise with a series of excellent documentaries for each of the previous four films.   You get interviews from Lucas, Spielberg, Ford, Williams, and more…and the footage is excellent.

Check out these awesome videos…and go Indy!   We’ll be rooting for you in June!
