Good morning America, Australia, England, and other countries of the world that are getting these. Because nothing else is going on right now in current events (.....sarcastic pause) let’s talk a little CQ.
If you loved how often we scattered horror movies over the last month, well, sorry fam, but we’re gonna scale back on those for a bit. Do you prefer theme weeks/months or do you like a mad chaotic genre shuffle over that span? Let us know by reaching out and saying your thoughts and feelings and deepest yearnings. This week MAY be topical. You’ll just have to find out as you play, but know we are cranked out of our minds on energy drinks and doing lines of 100 percent pure Colombian ground coffee, ingesting news clips and prognostications for no reason whatsoever because this week isn’t important or anything (... heavily sarcastic pause.)
Last Week’s Highlights
Highest Win Percentage 97.6% | Lowest Win Percentage 60.49% |
Alright back to back strong Tom Hanks showings as CAST AWAY (and remember, it’s not Castaway, it’s Cast Away) proved to be the highest success rate. 97.6% of you got it, with the double dip bonus of getting a 23.9% ACE rate. Good heavens, that’s high.
Most Aced Movie 23.9% | “Well, that's 83 South, and this road here will hook you up with I-40 East. Um, if you turn right, that'll take you to Amarillo, Flagstaff, California. And if you head back that direction, you'll find a whole lot of nothing all the way to Canada.” We probably should have gone with one of Wilson’s quotes for the first one... |
If a Tom Hanks movie wins top win rate this week we’re gonna move him into the penalty box. Maybe, just maybe, we DON’T do a Tom Hanks movie though. Anything’s possible.
The toughest test last week went to the Sunday Stumper, IT FOLLOWS, with a win rate of just 60.49%. And only 1.14% of players knew it on the first quote. Before she tracked the murderous LONGLEGS, Maika Monroe was trying to outrun whatever entity was following her in the unique horror flick of 2014. Check it out if you are lacking a sensation of foreboding dread in your life. (ummm….)
CQ Recommends
Oh Mickey. If only we got you that special foot long…
After being wrongfully imprisoned for thirteen years and having her child taken away from her, a woman seeks revenge through increasingly brutal means. Stream on TUBI, KANOPY, PLUTO TV, METROGRAPH Maybe people shouldn’t doubt the conviction of a woman (or women?) scorned. Hmmm? -Sean |
A young Shaolin follower reunites with his discouraged brothers to form a soccer team using their martial art skills to their advantage. Stream on Hoopla, rent it Apple TV or Amazon Stressed? Escape into this funny martial arts comedy that inspired the live action One Piece series on Netflix! -Flet |
Last time we’re gonna say it but please (!!!) vote in the upcoming election. Use this polling place locator to find out where. Also, if anybody in Michigan wants to grab us a couple of those badass I VOTED stickers, we’ll owe you a favor, like giving you an extra guess or two on a Sunday Stumper. ;)
