Ben Napier Channels Indiana Jones in Reno that Feels Like ‘Tunnel of Doom’ in Home Town Sneak Peek (Exclusive)

Erin previously revealed her dad bears a striking resemblance to "Indy" and dresses up as him for Halloween each year

Erin and Ben Napier tackle a major demolition in Sunday’s Home Town — and it has Ben feeling like a certain action hero.

In an exclusive sneak peek of the episode, Ben proclaims “Indiana Jones is back!” as he tears down the walls of the house they're renovating.

 “Indiana Jones, what is he?” Ben asks. “Temple of Doom,” Erin explains, referring to the second installment of Steven Spielberg’s adventure series, released in 1984. Ben then compares the hollowed-out home they’re in to a “tunnel of doom.”

“Y’all ready to tear the back of this house off?” Erin asks, to which Ben makes a honking sound.

Erin explains that the addition they’re tearing down was “just done poorly,” so they’re starting completely fresh with the renovation and ripping off “the rotten part.”

She adds that they’re planning to build a “massive pink palace” on the back of the house for their clients, an aunt and her great niece. The two relatives are seeking their mutual dream home, but don't agree on much.

“At least we don’t have to worry about opening up the walls and finding termites, because everything goes,” Erin observes.

“This is serious demolition,” Ben, 40, says, while Erin admits it was “really satisfying to watch.”

The current season of Home Town has also seen the couple try pickleball and revisit the college where they fell in love.

The duo, who share daughters Mae, 2, and Helen, 6, took a trip to see last year’s Indiana Jones movie over the summer, which was an emotional experience for Erin.

In July, the HGTV star shared a photo of her family’s excursion to see Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny, the franchise’s fifth and final installment. In the Instagram post, she shared that Harrison Ford's iconic character bears a resemblance to her own dad.

“Last week we went to see the last Indiana Jones with my entire family in the movie theater in the mall I’ve gone to my whole life where my parents saw the originals,” Napier, 38, wrote on Instagram. 

“My whole life we’ve thought daddy looked like Indy and the brown fedora and bull whip was always his Halloween go to,” she added. “Got a little misty eyed at the end.”
