I'd have to watch the series chronologically to see how they flow. Never tried that before, so it may be eye-opening and enjoyable.

Yeah, I forget the reason why TOD is set before Raiders ... something to do with not wanting to fight the Nazis again, I think.

Ford and Spielberg both resisted the idea at first, if I recall correctly, but George is nothing if not persistent, so eventually he got his way.
That makes perfect sense. That was the height of creature features and the atomic era of aliens, mutations, etc. Too bad we didn't see him finding the mummy or Dracula a decade earlier.

It was a lot of pressure to put on a kid, so I can't say I'd have done any better than him.

If it's an act, it's funny. He's had a blessed life, so hopefully he hasn't lost sight of that. I've heard some awkwardly amusing/disturbing stories about his weed habits.

I'm not part of the Disney cult either.
