About this listen

 God creates dinosaurs. God destroys dinosaurs. God created Man. Man created a podcast about dinosaurs. 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.2025 Art

    Season 2 begins!

    Paul and JD return with a brand-new mission: exploring franchises that uuuhhhhh lost their way. First up is Indiana Jones, starting with the 1981 classic Raiders of the Lost Ark. They dig into its timeless cool, Spielberg's blockbuster mastery, and how this franchise sets such a high bar for everything that followed. We've got new segments, but plenty of wife takes and, of course, a step into JD's Fashion Corner.
