Instagram influencers keep telling us that “nature is healing” but the Optimism Vaccine crew remains skeptical. A lifetime of indoor activities has taught us that the natural world is out to get us. The only way to know for sure is to watch some movies that explain what really happens when nature is fed up with our bullshit. Will we all get enslaved by ants and attacked weird birds in Australia? Probably. Will online influencers switch gears and start posting pictures of them hugging cops? Definitely.

THIS WEEK: Monster Dog (1984), Phase IV (1974), Alligator (1980), and Long Weekend (1978)
