What’s the name of the famous television show starring Raven-Symoné? That’s so Raven? I don’t think so. I think it is called That’s so Kraven. Agree to disagree. Let’s go!
Pop Quiz Hot Shot!
1) This is the sixth and last of the Sony Spider-Man Universe films. Name the other five.
2) Apparently Kraven gained his power while on a hunting trip in Ghana. Ghana is also home to the largest man-made lake in the world. What is the name of that lake?
3) A song on the soundtrack was Sign of the Times performed by Harry Styles. That didn’t realy number one in the US. He’s had two number one singles though, As it Was, and what other song?
4) Kraven is a rarity: he is the only original Sinister Six villain to have his own film. The other characters in the original Sinister Six are Doc Ock, the Vulture, Sandman, Electro, and what villain played by Jake Gyllenhall in the Sony/Marvel Spider-Man films?

Answers
1) An actual quiz question? Weird. Well, there is of course Madame Web. The three Venoms, which are Venom, Venom: Let There Be Carnage, and Venom: The Last Dance. And finally it’s Morbin’ Time, that would be Morbius. The best by far is Madame Web.
2) Hmmmm, why would you be able to know the name of some lake in Africa? Well, consider the country due north of Ghana, Burkina Faso. What was a prior name for that country? Upper Volta. Et voila. The lake is Lake Volta.
3) That would be Watermelon Sugar. Which I maybe could have figured out. I did remember that he has a food related song title. As it Was though is really good, I’m listening to it now.
4) Wrack you brains, do you remember the name of that character. That’s right, everyone’s favorite villain, Mysterio. The conceit of Mysterio is fun, a special effects artist who becomes a villain using his illusions. The character has been in a bunch of television shows all the way back to 1967.
5) That’s right, May slipped Chameleon a bunch of ambien and he presumably shopped a bunch online and then fell asleep.
Bonus NYTimes Listing Answer: That would be Black Rain, a film likely conceived at the height of Japanese economic panic in the US.
I need to see that film at some point, but I never have gotten around to it.
