When did the Mighty Ducks win the Stanley Cup? 2006? Was Charlie Conway on the team? Let’s go!
Pop Quiz Hot Shot!
1) The Goodwill Games was a real thing that ran from 1986 to 2001. It was created by what media mogul who pioneered the superstation concept and 24-hour news?
2) Amazing. You can see the VHS for this movie on the bedstand of the character Joey in the season 7 episode of Seinfeld The Wait Out. That character is played by Todd Bosley who you definitely recognize from Little Giants which starred what two actors as opposing coaches?
3) Julie “The Cat” Gaffney is from Bangor, Maine which features a 31 foot statue of which Canadian lumberjack folk hero?
4) Two important Mighty Ducks signature moves are introduced in the film. The first is a team effort. And the second is a move exclusive to late addition Russ Tyler (played by Keenan Thompson). Name both.
5) The movie of course ends with Queen’s We Are the Champions, which amazingly peaked at only number 4 on the US Charts. Queen would only have two US Chart toppers. Name either.
Bonus NYTimes Listing Question: Just in time for Christmas, on December 3, 1995, D2 went up against:
What is this movie with a very long title?
Answers
1) That would be Ted Turner. Also a fun fact? Ted Turner is the model for the crazy boss character in The Critic. Very explicitly.
2) Rick Moranis and Ed O’Neill. This was a Sklog Childhood Classic. I do not really look forward to having to watch it for BMT and recognizing that it is really purified trash.
3) Would him having a blue ox named Babe be too much of a giveaway, because he had that too. That is Paul Bunyan obviously. And why Bangor would have a statue is a bit beyond me, except I guess because Maine must be the logging capital of the Eastern seaboard or something.
4) Yeah, I kind of forgot that the first film only features one move (the triple deque, Bombay’s signature move he then passed down to Charlie like some sort of super power). The second goes crazy and introduces the very illogical Flying V (which only works once ever in the trilogy) and then Russ’s move is the Knuckle Puck.
5) Crazy Little Thing Called Love was the first in 1979, and then Another One Bites the Dust in 1980. Bohemian Rhapsody would peak at number 9. The really had no chart presence in the US after 1980, even Under Pressure with Bowie peaked at 29.
Bonus NYTimes Listing Answer: The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert. Don’t forget the comma. It is a very very good film. I would highly highly recommend it.
That also went up against Speed. Dennis Hopper was on one in that. Pop quiz hot shot! Is from that film of course.
