Good morning, sweet world, and welcome to the No Dunks podcast presented by FanDuel. It's Friday, July 17th, 2026. Well, it is for you, at least. For us, it's last week. This is pre-recorded. I'm J.E. Skeets here in the Classic Factory, and alongside me, as always, Tavs Mellis.
Supporters of other things. This is for you.
Next to him is my top shot hot boy, Trey Kirby. Heyo! Hey, yo! And over yonder, making the magic happen, super producer, JD. Hello. There he is. Here we are. Something a little different today in the No Dunks world. We're planning our off-season content, and you're going to help us do that. Last summer... We watched and reviewed every movie from the Jurassic Park franchise. We called it Jurassic Pals, and we broke down all seven movies in hilarious detail.
Seven movies, huh?
Yeah. Nice, yeah. They started hot, and they got a little rough. A couple years prior to that, we did the very same thing for the Fast and the Furious franchise. We called this one Fast Friends. I think we're up to 11 movies reviewed at this point because we did Hobbs and Shaw.
Yeah, we did. You got to do the spinoff content, of course.
So it's time to run another summer series back with a brand new movie franchise. But for the first time ever, we are going to let the fans vote. You'll have a say in what movie franchise we tackle this summer. So on today's show, we're each going to pitch a different movie franchise that we think we should cover. Our four franchises are Indiana Jones, Pirates of the Caribbean, Superman, and Transformers. Those are the four we're voting on. High octane. Yes. At the end of this all, we're gonna post a poll on our Substack page, and we'll have that link in the show notes for everyone. You'll have to jump over to our Substack page and make your vote. We'll have the poll there, okay? So let's get into it. Again, each guy pitching their case for their movie franchise.
And Trey, you're gonna get us started here today
with the Indiana Jones franchise. That's exactly right. The Indiana Jones franchise, of course, a five movie franchise. Starring Harrison Ford. I like the sound of that. I know, I know. I'm in. Five movies made it into my pros list and my cons list. You know, a shorter series for sure, but five, that's easy to do. These are pretty short movies. I think the longest is number five, the reboot slash capstone. The Dial of Destiny is like two and a half hours long. Everything else we're talking about. Nice 120 minutes. Whoa, man, you're selling me immediately. Not bad, not bad, not bad, not bad. I'm literally just giving you this easy to do. But it goes Raiders of the Lost Ark, Temple of Doom, The Last Crusade, The Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, and most recently, The Dial of Destiny.
The pros is one of the cons, too. Like, these are beloved films, especially the first three notable names. Harrison Ford, Steven Spielberg, Sean Connery, Shia LaBeouf is taking some hits since Crystal Skull.
