Atomic Trivia War 9000
Summary: Who invented Godzilla? What was Cobra Commander's real name? List three movies starring Pete Postlethwaite. If you can answer those questions, we want to enlist YOU in the ATOMIC TRIVIA WAR 9000, a glorious fight for the very future of Earth. The war isn't waged with guns or tanks, but with facts and figures, pop culture references, and a big dose of geekery. Join Jason, Omar, Ro, Kevin, and a host of guest contestants as they battle weekly. There's no points and no Googling, just head-to-head trivia combat. This isn't a mild seismic activity quiz challenge. This is Atomic Trivia War 9000!

(http://www.simplysyndicated.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/loslocos.jpg) After a couple of weeks off due to illness, we are back with another cultural masterpiece. In this episode: Word puzzles, musical group names, North American comedians, knights, and pop culture potpourri. Sorry about the cruddy audio. I'd take full responsibility, but Kevin is our official scapegoat. That's what we pay him for: being the fall guy.
(http://www.simplysyndicated.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/portlandia.jpg) From the creators of Atomic Trivia War 9000: We bring our review of the IFC show Portlandia (http://www.ifc.com/shows/portlandia), starring Fred Armisen and Carrie Brownstein. It's b-b-b-bonus content with Jason and Ro! Interestingly, after we edited and uploaded this episode yesterday, we were contacted by GeekPortland.com's (http://geekportland.com/) Kenna Conklin, who asked to use questions from ATW9K at an upcoming music festival/gameshow called the GeekPortland Geekparty. It will be held March 3 from 7-11 p.m. In Portland. HOW'S THAT FOR COINCIDENCE?! Given the circumstances, we're considering this the first unofficial ATW9K-Fest.
(http://www.simplysyndicated.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/french-fries.jpg) Jason and the gang hijack the Moral of the Story podcast (http://moralofthestory.net/2012/02/09/protected-by-amish-jedi-master/) to argue about the merits of Luc Besson's The Fifth Element (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0119116/) (1997), starring John McClane, Comm. Jim Gordon, Bilbo Baggins, Katinka Ingabogovinanana, Det. James Carter, and Dylan McKay. Dave liked Catwoman. Nate knows the URL for ATW9K better than one of the contestants. Omar would do Ronald McDonald in certain circumstances. Ro realizes the sexual connotations. Jason thinks this movie is better if you believe that Dallas is the descendant of Jack Burton.

(http://www.simplysyndicated.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/villainess.jpg) Seriously, she should be more sensitive. This week, we tackle Black History Month, SNL cast members, Married... With Children, Explorers, and that wonderful contraption known as the Commodore 64.
(http://www.simplysyndicated.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/downchart.jpg) We're still deducting points from Ro's total as of this hour. Expect a full accounting at the end of Q1 2012. In this episode, we welcome Nate Hasiak of the Moral of the Story podcast (http://moralofthestory.net/) for some talk about top-selling PC games, Minnesota pop culture, transvestites in movies, Emmy Awards, actors and actresses, and Tim Burton. You guess, dear listeners, which category Omar picked. I dare you.
(http://www.simplysyndicated.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/philsegacollinsgenesis.jpg) Poor Omar is undone by Genesis in our latest installment of Atomic Trivia War 9000. Other topics include: Children's books, movie roles, iconic music, and fictional currencies. Blame Scott Rubin.
(http://www.simplysyndicated.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/basement.jpg) Sorry, sorry, sorry, a thousand times sorry for being late this week. I was renovating my basement/podcast recording area and converting another part of the basement to a play area for my daughter, who is now three-and-a-half months old. This week we bring you the BATTLE OF THE SIBLINGS! It's not as cut-throat as you might believe. Omar's sister, Reb, and Jason's brother, Brandon, join us to talk the greatest characters of the past 20 years, The Godfather, Gene Hackman, Lord of the Rings, and more.
(http://www.simplysyndicated.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/Bunker-Talk-Art.jpg) Kevin and Jason are going to drop some bonus content on you in 2012. Here's some talk about favorite media we chewed up and swallowed in 2011 as the Atomic Trivia War raged outside our cozy little bunker. BUNKERS! Separate bunkers.
(http://www.simplysyndicated.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/OMARDEUS.jpg) Fact: He knows his Harry Potter trivia better than Ro. Tonight we discuss "I'll be back," the NFL, fantasy books, games, royalty, and award-winning movies.
