The response to Nutcracker Trivia was underwhelming to say the least. So we made a change. If you’re my age, you remember waiting breathlessly for the claymation Christmas specials and half-hour themed cartoons to appear on December weeknights. Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer, The Grinch, Charlie Brown’s Christmas special- all these and more shall be fodder […]

Due to a serious lack of trivia theme double-checking on my part, Harry Potter trivia will be taking place this Thursday, not on the 9th as previously advertised. As always, there’ll be 30 extra-difficult questions to answer and a round of free drinks for the winning team. See you there! Jeff
