Kate Capshaw

He was joined with Jessica Capshaw.

Yes, that name might be familiar to you folks 'cause it was indeed the daughter of Kate Capshaw, AKA Willie Scott, AKA his co-star from Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom and Steven Spielberg's stepdaughter.

So what they did was they did some Q&A.

They took some questions from the audience, but they started the evening with a recollection on their time on Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom.

And I'm Vicki Van.

We're going to be talking about 1986's Space Camp, directed by Harry Weiner, starring Kate Capshaw, Leah Thompson, and Leaf Phoenix.

Leaf.

Leaf Phoenix.

Yeah, do the plot.

Because this is why I hate this movie.

A bunch of teenagers are at space camp with Kate Capshaw.

And tweens as

Han.

And then when they're on the p- j- in the jungle planet, it's Kate- Kate Capshaw, uh, in Temple of Doom.

Sure.

You know? Th-

I'm beginning to think that would be preferable.

I doubt the commoners back home would complain.

And she's not Kate Capshaw either.

[laughs]

Obviously it didn't do much good.

But The Love Letter is a, a great movie with Kate Capshaw.

[laughs]

Sure it is.

That's an amazing anecdote.

And yeah, yeah, Kate Capshaw.

Yeah, that just unlocked you just to walk through the door.

So yeah, I loved hearing that.

uh and just forget about the rest that's great then you've achieved like some kind of victory over the the in shitification of a lot of these ips but a lot of people struggle with that and it's sometimes difficult for people to then watch the old stuff and appreciate it because they know deep down that it's going to lead to the terrible stuff it's coming one day it's coming and that's difficult to overcome i think for a lot of people So it ultimately comes down to how you process these things.

But if you get rid of Temple of Doom, Spielberg does not meet Kate Capshaw, does not get married.

And then all of his movies, every single Spielberg movie is a banger, including Disclosure Day, which was shit.

So every Spielberg movie is a banger, but you got to lose Temple of Doom.

I wish I could say it was Steven Spielberg.

I was as close to you, Maz, to Steven Spielberg and Kate Capshaw in a hat store in New York, but I was too starstruck to say anything.

This was only like seven or eight years

ago.

Yeah, I just was...

I mean, the guy made Jaws, and Raiders of the Lost Ark, and E.T., all these movies that meant so much to me as a kid, and I just was like...

That was a big Kate Capshaw thing for a while.

Still looks
