Dorky Geeky Nerdy #161 | Season Three Finale

And another season passes us by. It’s been a long three years. But I don’t have to tell any of you that. A lot has changed since I rolled this show out in February 2019. Some for the good. Some for the not-so-good. But we’re here and we’re still asking (and answering) trivia questions. I hope you enjoy the Season Three Finale.

Thanks for sticking with me for this long. I promise to keep plugging away with new episodes into Season Four (and beyond). As with our past Season Finales, we’ve comprised the Season Three Finale of questions from the past 51 episodes. And the fourth round, aka The Freaky Round? That’s back! So you’ve got 40 questions to deal with this week.

Good luck!

 

Dorky Geeky Nerdy #160 | 1980s Horror Movie Trivia

Snuggle up with someone because it’s about to get a little scary. This week, we’re heading back in time with some 1980s Horror Movie Trivia. Some were good, some were bad, and some were weird. Like really weird.

As always, it’s three rounds of ten questions each. Good luck! Also, this is our last regular episode before the Season Three finale. If you’re looking to study for the final exam, now is the time to start!

When you’re done with 1980s horror movie trivia, be sure to check out our other horror episodes. And then hit the rest of the series, if you haven’t done so already.

Douglas Trumbull, VFX Pioneer has passed away

While Douglas Trumbull might not be a household name, his work certainly was pioneering. He supervised the VFX on classic films like 2001: A Space Odyssey, Close Encounters, Star Trek: The Motion Picture, and Blade Runner. He even directed one of my personal favorites, Silent Running.

Arguably, he’s the man who invented “Starship Porn”.

He passed away at the age of 79 after fighting cancer, a brain tumor, and a stroke.

Dorky Geeky Nerdy #157 | The Princess Bride Trivia

Trivia. Trivia is what brings us together today. Princess Bride Trivia, to be exact. We’ve got thirty questions from that fantasy classic. You know it, you love it. Let’s do this.

We could use your help with ratings. Podchaser and Apple Podcasts (formerly iTunes) have places where you can leave reviews for the shows you like. Please take a second and leave a review. It’s a huge help in boosting us. (Along with sharing the show with your trivia-loving friends).

Dorky Geeky Nerdy #156 | Alien Movie Trivia

In space, no one can hear your trivia questions. This week, we dive into the dark void with Alien Movie Trivia. That is, movies from the Alien film franchise (not just films with aliens in them).

The first movie from 1979, was probably my first horror film, albeit heavily edited for television. But still, the franchise has stuck with me (and audiences) for a long time now.
