    Directors Sets: Episode 12, M1-M2-M3 (Bonus!)

    Contestants: Randall Eng, Jing Feng, Andy Greeley, Ewan Munro, Jeffrey Seguritan, Jayanthi SrinivasanWho needs Gukesh vs. Ding when you have Randall Eng and Ewan Munro duking it out for cinematic-quiz supremacy?  But even as we all compete to mispronounce French names that being with "M," it is Jayanthi who comes out on top with the worst pun--uh, I mean, funniest joke of all.  Sadly, those of you listening to this audio podcast won't get to see Ewan's dancing ... but that's all the more reason to join me in recording future episodes!Thanks to my playtesters Vince Bacani, Mike Cheyne, Charlie Fritz, Chris Grubb, Raghuveer Mukkamalla, Matt Pashby, Tucker Warner, and Emily White.  (Chris was the original source of my "Earwig and the Angry Witch" joke.)As always, if you like what you hear, consider donating via Ko-fi or Patreon and remember to leave a review and/or rating on iTunes!https://www.patreon.com/recreationalthinkinghttps://ko-fi.com/recreationalthinking
