Episode S2E29 - Gen X Battle of the Sexes (Movie Edition)

About this episode

The Collective Loathing crew engages in a Gen X movie trivia game featuring iconic films from the '80s, '90s, and 2000s.

The Collective Loathing crew—Felix, Silver Fox, Hollywood, Heather, Drama Mama, and guest Uncle Andy—skip their usual segments to run a Gen X "Battle of the Sexes" movie trivia game. Hollywood hosts a golf-style scoring format where lower points win, with teams guessing movies from three actors across rounds for '80s, '90s, and 2000s films (with a potential music tiebreaker). The episode features rapid-fire banter, rule confusion, and lots of wrong guesses, with several correct picks including The Breakfast Club, Young Guns, Lost Boys, Stand by Me, Blade Runner, The Burbs, Dick Tracy, Jumanji, Wag the Dog, Natural Born Killers, US Marshals, Men in Black II, Clerks II, Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle, American Pie 2, Harold & Kumar Escape from Guantanamo Bay, and The Matrix Revolutions.
