Zaph and Ecto dominated our Movie round and the consensus was 27, so I didn't argue with 'em. Think that may be the first incorrect answer we gave

Soo glad we didn't go geography. Think there's a few there we had wrong.

Zaph

I think we would have scored 9 in each of the rounds, but not entirely sure how in the geography one.

Turns out that the first awards were given out in 1929, for movies made in 1927 and 1928, so I'm claiming that as a win.

Getting just one wrong means you lose 10 points :mad:

Yeah, looked it up as I didn't believe Kolido. Was very certain it had been 1927. We went for sports in the end anyway, as we weren't 100% sure on a lot of the others (though our guesses turned out to be right on Thelma/Louise, Blue/Red and the correct Dirty Harry movie)

Come on Thunderdogs!!!
