S05.E07: First Names First The Great American Pop Culture Quiz Show
-
- TV & Film
Things are extra tuneful on this week's new episode! Jim, James, and Gerald all face off for pop culture games and trivia that really test their musical minds. A cello-themed round of My Champion gives way to a round one filled with some unexpected movie-singing (though some of these examples are VERY expected if you have been tracking the types of movies Taylor likes to put in games). Gears shift in round two where players try to un-confuse pop culture properties that each have characters who share a first name. And as always, it's not over until everyone gets a crack at the lightning round!
NOTES
⚠️ Inline notes below may be truncated due to podcast feed character limits. Full notes are always on the episode page.
👰 The iconic "I Say a Little Prayer for You" scene from My Best Friend's Wedding was apparently a last minute addition to the film.
🔙 That wasn't actually Michael J. Fox singing in Back to the Future.
🎙 But years later, he did later perform it live on stage with Coldplay.
📺 The "Whoever is sitting in the top right spot on Match Game" scorebreak. "Whoever is sitting in the top right spot on Match Game." Charles Nelson Reilly or get the funk out.
🎶 How recent is the stardom of Olivia Rodrigo? She did her first live concert the day before we recorded this episode.
🧠 We should note that the wonderful cartoonist Ryan Dunlavey actually did the Charlie Brown/Prof X joke as a cartoon strip.
👔 Suits ended earlier this year after nine seasons.
🕺 The "misheard song lyrics" scorebreak. Misheard Song Lyrics: maybe Tony Danza doesn't WANT to be held.
