**Dr. Stone:** Thank you for having me.
**Host:** Now, Emmerich Voss is being hailed as something truly unique in the Indiana Jones franchise. What makes him stand out from previous antagonists?
**Dr. Stone:** While Indiana Jones has certainly tangled with Nazis before, Voss feels different. He embodies a type of malice we’re unfortunately becoming more familiar with online – a calculated, manipulative cruelty veiled behind a veneer of charm and “success.” [1]
