A couple of old favorites resurface in new forms on this week’s episode. Jeff, Dave (not that Dave) and Shannon have a few pop culture trivia challenges ahead of them this week, starting with the return of the Vennding Machine. Can they name the song name from the names of two artists who both have songs by that title? The answers may drive you insane. Then, we’ll bust out our atlas of fictional locales and ask our players to ID some locations in it from some descriptive details. Then it all comes together for the lightning round. Don’t miss it!

Answer
The 2019 movie Portrait of a Lady on Fire is a slow-burn romance between two women (Marianne and Heloise) on an isolated island setting. That isolation ends up being the thing that allows that romance to develop. At the end of the movie, after their time together has come to an end, a reference to a sketch on page 28 of Heloise's book becomes a symbol to their lingering feelings for one another.
