The season five playoffs begin as James, Paul, and Seth duke it out for the North Shore High division title and a spot in the finals.

But only one player can advance, and it all comes down to the lightning round!
NOTES
⚠️ Inline notes below may be truncated due to podcast feed character limits. Full notes are always on the episode page.
🐊 Elton John has defended the... less than original sound of "Crocodile Rock" saying in the notes of the '95 re-issue, "Of course it's a rip-off, it's derivative in every sense of the word."
🧙♀️ Thankfully, we didn't use the modified version of "Popular" Chenoweth sang about Anthony Weiner.
🥃 If "la la" doesn't sound like something Tom Waits would normally sing, he has said that "Jersey Girl" was his "experiment with Sha La La."
☘️ The Uncanny Valley Scorebreak. The Uncanny Valley: I don't care how much it cost! The faces in The Irishman might as well have been Tom Hanks in The Polar Express.
🌅 For Before Sunrise, we say "mostly" in Vienna, Austria, because it starts on the train, so they might still have been in Hungary.
🌃 We could have used Stuart Townsend's role in the Kolchak remake, but we don't want to be predictable.
😵💫 The Stop making Dan say stupid things scorebreak. Stop making Dan say stupid things. So what if he likes old movies? TCM is great!
💵 Hey, remember when a show like Thanks a Million on Quibi could get a season two renewal announcement?
🕵️♀️ Kim Possible: So The Drama was actually the second Kim Possible animated movie.
