Dan Kois, June Thomas and Sam Adams duke it out to see who will move on and represent Slate in the Hired Goons divisional finals. Extra! Extra! We start things off in news publication-style by having our contestants identify movies and TV shows from those in-universe newspaper headlines that spin at you (and why do they do that, BTW?). Then we relax with fifteen consecutive rounds of special edition Monopoly where tokens, properties and rules give hints to which pop culture edition of Monopoly we’re playing. Tears are shed! Records are broken! Riddles are given! It’s all happening right now.

The Riddle
I broke out from a really bad film,
But real fans had known me since I was created by Timm.
I love my dog, though he’s hardly a golden retriever,
I think he’ll be fine, so I’ll instead guard my beaver.
Answer
Having broken up with the Joker in both the comics and movies, Harley Quinn now hangs out frequently with Pamela "Poison Ivy" Isley. Her "dog" is a hyena named "Bruce." As a hyena, he'll be fine no matter what, but Harley's literal stuffed beaver is often in the line of fire, and needs protecting.
