Episode Conclusion

And we are done with Indiana Jones trivia. What’s your favorite Indy film? Mine is Last Crusade. That pairing of Ford with Connery was just perfect. Also, I saw Raiders when I was six. It was PG and my dad took me. Face-melting bad guys was not something my little brain was ready for. Let me know your pick for the best film in the series. Or was it the Young Indiana Jones series? You can reach out on social media or Spotify.

I’ll be back next week with another thirty questions. Here’s a little clue:

Over 3 million US citizens live on what island that is not a US State?

Not terribly hard, but it should be a fun episode. See you back here next Wednesday.
