Liz:

I said, don't know anything.

Shakyra:

Hey, those are really nice glasses. You look nice. Are those prescription? Nope.

Jack:

And I came to actually find out that blue light glasses do not do anything. They don't reduce eye strain and they don't improve sleep. They're completely placebo, but I'm wearing them because I think they look good and I do look more

Shakyra:

game shabbos,

Jack:

as Liz noted before we started the episode. Yeah, getting into trivia.

Shakyra:

Yeah. So, like, I'm not a really good trivia person. I think you guys kinda got that when we go on trivia nights at the land But, you know, I'll I'll do my best because I love films and Mhmm. Yeah. I feel

Liz:

better about this kind because me and my friends at home, my roommates, we do a lot of pop culture Jeopardy.

Shakyra:

Yeah.

Liz:

So I feel a little bit more well versed to do this sort of trivia. Now if you gave me, like, regular Jeopardy questions, I would not know anything. But, you know, I'm not gonna toot my own horn too bad because it'd be really, really embarrassing if I didn't pull this one out today. So Exactly.

Jack:

Yeah. Yeah. Alright. So let's let's get into it. First, I'm using Sporkle for this, just so we're all kind of on the same page.

Jack:

So we're going kind be jumping around. I'll be doing kind of different topics. We'll probably go from topic to topic, though. But the first one, so your mind's in the right place, Pixar movies. Going be doing Pixar movies.

Shakyra:

Liz:

And if I lose, I'm also firing everybody at the sex. Woah. Woah.

Shakyra:

Woah. Woah. It's okay because our time is limited in a way, so, you know.

Jack:

That is actually an important speaking of limited time, we are this actually gonna move away from Pixar because of way this is laid out. I don't like it. So we're just kinda we're gonna be everywhere.

Demonte:

more of a Trekkie, Sartre. Letting you a hundred. Well,

Shakyra:

Oh. What is his name? Oh my god.

Jack:

Starts with an r. R r?

Demonte:

Oh, that's right.

Shakyra:

Jack:

the answer I'm looking for.

Liz:

Oh my god.

Jack:

I know Liz is gonna be mad when I say it, it seems like it's on the tip of her tongue. I can't. I was looking for Robert Zemeckis.

I watched Twilight. She actually, Liz made me watch it. Yeah. But Oh.

Shakyra:

That was your first time watching it? Mhmm. Really?

Although, actually, I watched bits of it when I was younger because my mom was really into it, but we were really interested in the cool scenes where they would fight. Yeah. So I would just see those clips. You watched I fully watched those. And I was a fan.

Jack:

I liked Twilight. I thought it was cool. I thought it was fun.

Liz:

I watched Twilight like a like a film, kinda like a wine connoisseur

Jack:

kind of.

Liz:

I'm just, picking up different books. And I it's so funny. I feel like every single time I watch it, I can I'll say the same thing about the same scenes, and I'll just find one other little thing.

Shakyra:

Yeah. That's Oh, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. That's a classic.

Shakyra:

Robert? George. George? George. George.

Jack:

Is it just George? Yeah.

Liz:

It's it. No. Oh, is it Harrison No.

Jack:

It is Harrison Ford. Okay.

Liz:

I was gonna say George Harrison

Demonte:

I am told a

Jack:

lot So George Harrison

Liz:

is not the answer.

Jack:

He's not an actor, except unless you consider the Beatles movies. Yeah?

Shakyra:

I do. Of Help.

Jack:

He was an actor in Help. Also, in my opinion

Liz:

Not much of an actor.

Jack:

I know this isn't a music podcast, but I think he did release the best. Out of all the Beatles who went off and did single solo careers, I think he had the best album. Yeah. All Things Must Pass was amazing. My favorite.

Jack:

One of my favorites, actually. Anyway, this acclaimed Oscar winning filmmaker directed Happy Feet, Babe, Pig in the City Oh. And Mad Max Fury Road. So a really wide range of films Oh,

Liz:

I feel like I know

Jack:

Happy Feet.

Demonte:

Happy Feet two. I didn't like it.

Jack:

He also directed Furiosa and all the other Furiosa? Or mostly, like, Mad Max. Yeah.

Liz:

It's not coming to me.

Jack:

I can't. The answer I'm looking for is George Miller. Oh. He won a lot of I think Fury Road swept that year in the Oscars. Was a very popular movie that got

Demonte:

a lot

Jack:

of awards.

Shakyra:

Or is

Jack:

up for a lot of don't know how many. For Fury Road?

Jack:

I'm glad we were kinda finally able to do it. I remember, I was in I was in a study abroad in France over the summer and I was just talking with one of my friends and I was like, I just really wish we could do something like this because we don't do the reviews. And I was like, I either want to do the reviews or I want to do a podcast. And once we got this started, she had texted me like, oh, you got it started. I was happy to finally get this going.
