Super Critical Podcast - Overthinking Nuclear Pop Culture

In this episode, we passed the nuclear test of Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. How did Indiana Jones end up facing down a nuclear mushroom cloud? Can a lead-lined fridge serve as a decent fallout shelter? Is Indiana Jones an immortal superbeing? Tim Westmyer, Gabe, and special guest Alex answer these questions and more. This is the ninth in our Mini-Nuke episode series, where we overthink movies with a smaller slice of nuclear weapons plot than our usual full-sized episodes. Before we locked the fridge door, we recommend checking out: -Nightbreaker (1989 TV movie) -Doom Towns: The People and Landscapes of Nuclear Testing, A Graphic History (2016) -Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory YouTube page on nuclear tests -The Young Indiana Jones Chronicles (TV Show) Credit to Karl Golden on YouTube for his awesome metal cover of the Indiana Jones theme.
