Have a beer at the new Indiana Jones-themed bar at Disney World this fall

Beginning this fall, you’ll be able to imbibe on some spirits, and get your Indiana Jones fix at the same time at Walt Disney World. America’s favorite mouse-based theme park is putting up a gastro-monument to the legendary archaeologist/adventurer — and for Indiana Jones nerds, the obscure theme is sure to cause a smirk.

Jock Lindsey’s Hangar Bar, located in Downtown Disney, will be an aviation-themed lounge featuring themed cocktails, small plates, propeller-based ceiling fans, and a diving bell “booth.” The theme park’s blog gives a taste of the upcoming menu for the 150-capacity restaurant, including the “Hovito Mojito” (Barsol Quebranta Pisco, fresh lime juice, and simple syrup), the “Air Pirates Everything Pretzels” (made with house-made mustard and beer cheese fondue), and “Rolling Boulder Meatballs.”

Wondering who Jock Lindsey is? He’s Indy’s pilot of Raiders of the Lost Ark fame, and owner of a pet snake named Reggie. Most notably, he helps Indy escape from the angry natives at the beginning of Raiders — you remember, he’s the guy chilling in the seaplane as Indy narrowly avoids about 200 spears to the back of the head. While certainly a background character, Lindsey regularly rescues Dr. Jones from danger in his trusty nautical prop plane.

The Hangar Bar will include “an expansive bar, aviation decor filling the room, vintage travel posters covering the walls, and correspondence between Jock, Indy, and their fellow adventurers on display.” Visitors can also dine outside “in Jocks’ old steamboat,” named Reggie. The blog notes that Reggie the snake will be an important part of the new bar, so here’s hoping you don’t hate snakes as much as Dr. Jones does.

While you’re waiting for the latest installment in the Indiana Jones’ series, Disney wants you to take a trip to Orlando. If you do happen to make the trip later this year, you can make a day out of revisiting Indiana Jones by watching Raiders of the Lost Ark-inspired Indiana Jones Epic Stunt Spectacular. And you definitely have time: while there is another film in the works now that Disney has the reins to the franchise, Lucasfilm hasn’t begun working on a script yet.

Jock Lindsey’s Hangar Bar will be open for business at Walt Disney World Resort sometime this fall.

7 most unnecessary sequels ever
Lady Gaga and Joaquin Phoenix hold mics and smile in Joker: Folie à Deux."

It's common knowledge that many movie sequels fail to live up to the hype and quality of their predecessors. Film studios usually try to follow the money by making a follow-up to a movie that succeeded in theaters. However, filmmakers can't always replicate the magic of the original film, which has led to some lackluster sequels.

These films can bomb so spectacularly or miss the mark by so much that some even argue that they had no business existing at all. While almost any film can be deemed "unnecessary," there are many sequels to critically and commercially successful motion pictures that really didn't need to be made.

I’ve seen enough. Glen Powell is a better Running Man than Arnold Schwarzenegger
Glen Powell poses in a disguise in The Running Man.

Paramount Pictures revealed the first trailer for The Running Man, a dystopian action movie based on Stephen King's 1982 novel. Glen Powell headlines The Running Man, and despite the lack of footage, it's clear that his Ben Richards will be better than the one portrayed by Arnold Schwarzenegger.

"Stop filming me!" Powell's Richards screams before an explosion launches the character off a bridge and into the water. In a near-future society, Ben faces a financial crisis. He needs a doctor to save his sick daughter. Because desperate times call for desperate measures, Ben enters The Running Man, a deadly competition where contestants ("Runners") must survive 30 days. During that timeframe, professional assassins ("Hunters") hunt the contestants down, intending to kill them. Survive and win the grand prize, or die and get nothing.

The Old Guard 2 cast chooses iconic movie moments to witness for the first time
A group of soldiers stand in the dirt in The Old Guard 2.

Internet culture in the Digital Age moves at the snap of a finger. Thanks to the social media algorithm, what's popular today might not be talked about tomorrow. Five years feels like a lifetime. That's how long it's been since The Old Guard premiered on Netflix. It's fitting that a follow-up to a movie about a team of immortals would take its time before hitting the service. Mortals, rejoice. The wait is over. The Old Guard 2 is now available to stream on Netflix.

Charlize Theron returns for the action-packed sequel as Andy, the leader of a team of immortal mercenaries who serve as protectors of the world. The team consists of immortals Nile (KiKi Layne), Joe (Marwan Kenzari), and Nicky (Luca Marinelli), along with a mortal, James Copley (Chiwetel Ejiofor). Speaking of finite creatures, Andy now copes with her mortality, which affects every decision, knowing she can finally die. Andy and her team will be tested with the arrival of Discord (Uma Thurman), the very first immortal with a sinister plan that threatens the universe. To defeat Discord, Andy seeks the help of an old friend, Tuah (Henry Golding), who may hold the secrets of immortality.
