HOLIDAY MOVIE THEMED EVENT AT IDLE HOUR RECAP

Merry Christmas, ya filthy animals! It’s a Holiday Movie trivia special here at Idle Hour, and a collection of criminally talented teams joined us for an epic night. Having decided to come to the coast, get together, and have a few laughs, we got down to quizness and started the show. 

Round One was a smorgasbord of holiday and holiday-adjacent movies, but only one teams was bold enough to risk it all for the big win! Bumping Uglies took an early lead, hoping to keep it going all night long.

Round Two was a challenging look at some holiday movies (and the lost art of gift giving. Oh Fudge managed to pull into second place, just ahead of Make it Reindeer. 

Round Three was a theme on a theme, focusing on just Hallmark Christmas movies (and the spiraling void of darkness they can bring). Bumping Uglies maintained their lead, but it was Sexy Sondheim making their way closer and closer to the top. By the end of Round Four, they earned their spot in third place!

For our Drinking Round, we asked our teams to count how many movies about Chanukah had ever been produced by Hallmark. The shameful answer is six (do better, Mr. Hallmark). With a spot on answer, Oh, Fudge took the free drinks!

Round Five unveiled a jamboree of holiday classics, teasing our teams with a possible connection. For some teams there was just no question, and the scores certainly showed that confidence. Quiz Lemons, channeling all the energy of a holiday-themed Tina Fey, surged into third!

Most people feel they know a lot of movie quotes, so we challenged them in Round Six to match as many as they could. Bumping Uglies managed a clutch double that took their lead to a more commanding position, but they weren’t out of trouble yet. With one last question remaining, who would take home the big prize?

As the dust settled, we announced our winners: Bumping Uglies, Quiz Lemons, and Make it Reindeer. 

Come join us every Tuesday for more trivia action.
