This week on the Film Pigeons podcast we leave the depressing letter H in the rear view and move on to the letter I as we continue our ill informed alphabetic journey through cinematic history.  To kick of the letter I we join Indiana Jones and the enigmatic Short Round on their journey into the Temple of Doom (in, as you could probably guess, Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom).  Then we put on our sad faces as we suffer with wrongfully convicted Daniel Day-Lewis in the IRA tinged drama, In the Name of the Father.  Finally, in honor of Temple of Doom's inglorious place in the Indiana Jones franchise we celebrate our Top 4 Franchise Black Sheep.
