Hold On to Your Butts started as a Jurassic Park rewatch podcast about how the biggest show on Earth lost its bite. But now that “Rebirth” has been birthed, Paul Karolyi and JD Lopez are revisiting other great franchises that once dominated the cultural landscape and now, well, don’t.
For season two, we’re tackling Indiana Jones because Disney is rebooting it, apparently without Harrison Ford, and we have feelings about that.
Paul, JD, and special guest Molly Smith (host of Did That Age Well?) plunge into the most controversial and chaotic entry in the Indiana Jones franchise — Temple of Doom. From Short Round’s iconic debut — “hold on to your potatoes!” — to the wild cultural legacy of chilled monkey brains, the trio wrestles with whether this film is trash cinema or a misunderstood classic.
🎙️ It’s the second installment of the No Time for Love, Dr. Jones, an Indiana Jones miniseries — aka, the second season of Hold On to Your Butts, a podcast about beloved franchises that uuuhhh lost their way.
