…discussing the gory and violent scenes from Indiana Jones movies that fascinated him as a child
“Colton, as a kid, I understand that your favorite movies were those featuring Indiana Jones, such as Raiders of the Lost Ark and The Temple of Doom. What scenes in particular were you drawn to in these movies? Yeah, I loved those movies as a kid. I still love them as an adult. I've probably lost count of how many times I've seen them.”
