As Bono Vox said in the 1988 film classic “Rattle and Hum,” “I don’t mean to bug ya.” Well guess what, we’re BUGGING you today as we kick off the Globo-Chem Division. Returning players Kari, Joel, and Susannah will have to contend with the return of Marge Excitable as she raves about pop culture properties whose titles employ the names of insects, arachnids, and other creepy crawlies. But she won’t make you groan as much as our recently fired intern Robert, who has completely bungled our audio archives. So our players will hep us to sort through the detritus of the misfiled clips (and we’ll give them some points for doing so).

Also, I guess a lightning round happened!

GUESS WHAT! If you’re listening to this on the day it comes out, you have TWO DAYS to join the TGAPCQS Club! If you do, you can attend Taylor’s music trivia night live on zoom. It’s Wednesday June 14th at 9pm/8pmCT! Hit up Taylor on Discord to suggest songs and categories for full-contact Name That Tune!

The Riddle

There once was a film set in a rink

Where a fire marshal was pushed to the brink

He fought off bad guys

One in a mascot’s disguise

And made a clutch save, without time to think.

Answer

The 1995 Jean Claude Van Damme action movie Sudden Death, has an off-duty fire marshal at a playoff hockey game thwarting a terrorist plot. Among the terrorists is one wearing the costume of the Penguin's mascot, Iceburgh. Along the way, he even suits up as the Penguin's goalie, and makes a critical save to push the game into extra time.
