The Great American Pop Culture Quiz Show
TV & Film
This week's playoff barn burner features Chris Sims from War Rocket Ajax, Tim Grierson from the Grierson & Leitch podcast, and Linda Holmes from NPR's Pop Culture Happy Hour. After a trip to the world of school musicals for My Champion, the forecast calls for a quiz on movies with meteorological titles (weather they like it or not). Round two has an even wider spectrum of titles included in "Pigments of Your Imagination" where players will do some primary and secondary color math to find their favorite pop culture. And of course, a characteristically cutthroat lightning round caps it all off.

4οΈβ£ Toby Kebbell may not be a household name, but he's an all-star of bad recent superhero movies, with big parts in Bloodshot and the 2015 Fantastic Four.
π The Interactive DVD Menu: Still a Special Feature in our hearts.
π€¦π»ββοΈ Tom Hardy: ...wait, false alarm. It's just Logan Marshall Green.
π There is some confusion about the purple people eater, with the lyrics leaving it unclear about whether it is a purple creature that eats people, or a creature that eats purple people.
βͺοΈ "Historian helps police solve modern crimes that are based on historical crimes" might seem like a thin premise for a show, but Whitechapel ran for four seasons between 2009 and 2013, stretching the limits of the "cop/not a cop" genre.
