This week, we kick off a new division with Susan, Laura, and Stephen! A surprisingly intimidating karaoke party in “My Champion” leads to an awful lot of fanfare for round one where players guess movie production companies from just the sound of their logos. Then, we’ll keep the sequence going with “The Clothes Lineups” where contestants add one more name to those BLANK & BLANK & BLANK etc. shirts. And of course, it all gets decided in the lightning round.

In the 2014 movie Whiplash, the character of jazz band director Terence Fletcher is always seen in all black with a completely shaved head. His treatment of his students, in particular drummer Andrew Neyman, is incredibly abusive, in the guise of pushing them towards greatness. He is well known for a scene in which he tells Andrew he is playing at "not my tempo," before abusing him further.
