June 08, 2020 Optimist Movies: Episode 15 - Raiders of the Lost Ark
In a time where everyone needs a little escapism we picked one of the best pieces of escapism ever in film... Raiders of the Lost Ark! I mean you saw the title. It's probably obvious. What am I even doing here? Why do I insist to do all of these things SO late in the day (or early in the morning). I'm SO TIRED. Anyway this episode is really fun, and we had a lot of fun doing it!!
