The Great American Pop Culture Quiz Show
TV & Film
It's a cavalcade of comic book crossovers and pop culture rhymes in this week's competition! After a rousing round of My Champion, Bobby, Stephen and Susanna test their knowledge of crazy comic book crossover events that brought together unlikely characters and properties. Then, it's on to a rhyming game, where from a mashed up description, players parse out the two rhyming TV show and movie titles that have been combined. All that plus a Lightning Round and the At-home Version riddle for you to solve!
NOTES
โ ๏ธ Inline notes below may be truncated due to podcast feed character limits. Full notes are always on the episode page.
๐ฅ The crossover comic book Batman/Elmer Fudd is pretty great, actually
๐คบ Django/Zorro was co-written by Quentin Tarantino, and is under development as filmed sequel to Django Unchained
๐ฅ Knowledge is power! Learn and protect yourself from circus peanuts!
๐ด The plot of The Big Sleep is confusing enough that screenwriter William Faulkner (!) had questions about it, but reports have been exaggerated over time
โฝ๏ธ Gasoline Alley is the longest running comic strip in the US, and since its characters age in real time, the lead character, Walt, is now 116 years old.
๐ป We call him Bobby but his fancy name is Robert Krut
๐ Even though nothing rhymes in it, it's a good idea to order Bobby's latest book, The Now Dark Sky, Setting Us All On Fire direct from the publisher
