(E) IS "The Price Is Right." Did you get it from the announcer's name or did you actually read and remember the splash page by number? What people guess on that show is PRICES.

Paul Schaefer appears late in the movie. I would focus on remembering the other 2.

Ok, game shows. Name ANY game show correctly to take the round. A) This game show has overseas versions (UK, and Australia as well as a US version.) It's got loud, excited people answering questions and dropping balls down a giant board with prize amounts at the floor level. Players show up in teams of 2, with one person in isolation, answering questions, and the other, planning strategy, trying to maximize their gains while minimizing their losses. An option to blindly trade their winnings for an "insurance" amount gives even teams that got wiped out a chance to go home with some money, provided they chose the trade sight unseen. B) This series is a returned, older series. The players must work with giant decks of cards and predict whether the next card will be higher or lower than their current card (in addition to answering questions correctly about results of polls done before their episode.) C) This UK game show has been running for slightly over a decade, and is a current show. Comedians are generally the 4 contestants, and odd trivia come up all the time, by the host and the contestants. Points are rewarded for correct answers, but deducted for boring answers that are incorrect. Points are also awarded for interesting things that aren't the correct answer but seem related. Steven Frye was the original host, but Sandi Tosvig has been the host the past few years. D) This current game-show airs primarily on Netflix. It's been renewed for another season. Teams of 3 people try to cross a big room by hopping across the furniture and over obstacles. If they fall to the floor, they are eliminated for a very obvious reason- they "died" in the game. (They're shown as fine later in the show, but contestants like to react as if they really died.) That they "died" and why are very, very obvious for anyone watching the show. E) Shows with trivia can have appeal later if the trivia stays the same. Shows with strategies can have appeal later because strategies can remain the same. Drew Carey has revived a previous game-show with neither advantage, meaning the contestants must guess about something current that is NOT trivia. The original version of this show's announcer was Johnny Olsen. (IIRC, Avengers vol 1, #165 referenced this on its splash page.) F) One game-show was once the subject of a huge payout, once a contestant appeared who had memorized the movements of the electronic board from previous episodes. Newer versions of this show, including a current version, use smarter software that prevents this. You might only remember the little animated figures that show up when a player loses their cash. G) This is also a current game-show. Episode titles include: "You Better Run", "Every Second Counts," "Never Stop." The staff include:Atomic Ant , Banshee, Dynamite, Bulldog, Rocket, Beach Boy. This one is also loosely-based (or inspired by) a children's game.

The word "volcano" does not appear in the name of any of the answers. And (E) is well-known.

Would be nice if someone else would look the clues over and take the round.

"I never heard of him." "Who?" "The man you recommended." "Why? Why would I want that? Why would I want bubblegum?" "See anything you like?" "No." "Nos vemos. (See you later) ." [Literally- "We'll see each other", generally translated as "See you later."] "F* you." "Look me in the eyes... and then kill me." "Are you going to be OK?" "I don't know kid, I don't know." "You will be." "Go practice." "Practice playing or shooting?" "What do you think?" "I don't think, I drink." ""I feel its only fair to warn you, that killing me is crossing the line and you will have every single Marine from here to Guantanamo Bay up your keister, mister, so just know that." "Fortunately for you, nothing you did is worth dying for. You have only seen too much. We are going to make sure this does not happen again." "Have you ever seen one of these? Have you ever used one? Don't ever because, they're very very bad. But right now I need you to aim it at the bad guy who's following us, and shoot him in the head." "Matalo?" "Oh yeah. Very matalo." "Bullfights. Bull hockey. Do you like this? The bull is stabbed, prodded, beaten. The bull is wounded. The bull is tired before the matador ever steps into the ring. Now, is that victory? Of course it is. Wanna know the secret to winning? Creative sportsmanship. In other words, one has to rig the game." "Is someone following you?" "Well, it's a little difficult for me to tell right now, because I'm kinda having a bad day." "Who are you guys?" "Sons of Mexico, sir." ======================== This movie was absolutely not a Western, but it drew from a number of the elements of Westerns. It was also a sequel by everyone's standards.

I wish "the Joker's Wild" would return. I liked it better than (B). (D) does not include a "pit". However, it could be said that "fire" was "something like" the answer. If the kids played their game, what might one shout at the beginning?

If it's not "MAD MAX", can we have another clue, another image?

Actually, we find the show quite watchable, and that includes 2 adults and 1 kid.

Let's see.... out in the middle of nowhere on a highway..... a beat-up car, a tanker that looks equally beat.... Not too many movies have those.

Nothing as safe as quicksand. You can at least touch the surface of quicksand without an injury.

CORRECT! It IS "SHAUN OF THE DEAD." Shaun was a lousy planner. Whenever he tried to make or amend his plans to get through the movie, he kept assuming that the hard parts would be easy, and his plans would ALWAYS end with him and everyone making it in one piece to his favorite bar, The Winchester, where he imagined he could just wait out a Zombie Apocalypse while relaxing and having a few beers. So, the illustrations of his plans ALWAYS ended up showing some variation of this very image- in this case, with his ex-GF getting back together with him, and his Mom and his best friend also making it there unharmed.

In this show, it's neither sharks nor snakes, so what would that leave?

That IS Simon Pegg. That is NOT " Hot Fuzz."

It certainly looked like it might be up my alley. Or my wife's alley. Or some side-street. Ok, next movie.
