If you like these, please consider signing up! As we all know, our pal Terry is a LOVER OF CINEMA, a term he prefers more than "Movie buff". But IS HE A FRAUD?? This episode will find out that answer. 20 questions, curated by Andy (so you KNOW Terry will have no problems at all with these), the rules are simple... 15 or more correct answers = BUFF 11-14 = FIT 0-10 = FRAUD Play along at home and let us know how many you got right!!!
* Or "the biggest stitch-up in the history of quizzing"... Andy's in the hot seat, as Terry has curated 20 questions to test his knowledge on his favourite band, The Beatles. Just a warning, the wheels come off this pod early. Andy fumes at the questions, debates the correct answers and basically loses his mind.
