A Hat That Everyone Should Have...

Ah, the sweet month of May - 2008. Unless you've been living under a rock, or are perhaps completely without redeeming social value, you'll note that this month - the 22nd to be exact, is the date when we herald the arrival of the 4th and last offering of the Indiana Jones movies - The Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. One of the many hallmarks offered from these films is not only a character that the progenerator of one of the most impressive, memorable and recognizable silhouettes in movie history, but some great clothing that will never be forgotten.

My dad and bonus mom were in town recently and I had the pleasure of recording the review of the 3rd Indiana Jones film, "The Last Crusade" with my father, Fred Wilkerson, who not only provided his always one-of-a-kind perspective about the the film that features Indiana's father, but he wore something that caught my eye immediately - one outstanding replica Indiana Jones hat that he acquired online from a company I am hoping to start a cool relationship with. I too ordered one from the same outfit and hope to have it weathered and ready for action when the day comes to go to the theater to see what is this last and looking-very-tasty installment.

Look for more details about the silhouette that has launched 1000 imaginations and why it's not just a character trait but truly an institution for me as an entertainment critic and podcaster.
