    Used to rate this 5 stars, but there are just too many Harry Potter references for something being recorded in 2026.

#57: Purging our brains of James Bond, Nike, Blink-182, and Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 5 trivia

#54: Did We Uncover the Dumbest Bank Robbery in History?
Q: In the 1985 Arnold Schwarzenegger movie Commando, during the final fight, how does Bennett die and what pun does John Matrix say after his death?
Bennett is killed in a stylized way when John Matrix inflates him with a prop (in one retelling, a pipe and an explosive device are involved), followed by the famous line 'let off some steam, Bennett.' The answer provided on-air leaned into the idea of an over-the-top, cartoonish death.
Patreon Preview #3: We Could've All Had Swords
Q: In a press junket for Cars 3, Cars creative director J. Ward offered a personal theory for where the cars got their personalities. What was it?
The answer proposed was that the cars' personalities stem from childhood trauma and early experiences, a theory used to fuel the group's playful discussion about how characters are formed in animation.
