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://youtu.be/QhgsvDJvZ4E We talk the United Nations, silver screen devils, and what happens in Vegas in a short episode recorded entirely on a G+ Hangout -- which means you can watch the video, see our dumb faces, and laugh at our ludicrous pantomime in extremely low-quality audio. We're probably going to do a couple more of these in the near future, since seeing each other while recording is great fun. Thanks to question submitters Michael Mould, Jeff Ferry, and Mike of the Top 5 Podcast Spectacular. Send your questions to atw9k@simplysyndicated.com (mailto:atw9k@simplysyndicated.com)!

(http://www.simplysyndicated.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/episode-80-splash.jpg) In a stunning lack of propriety, decorum, and common sense, we decide to play a drinking game: Bottoms up for wrong answers. Bad idea, guys. Bad idea. While killing off our few remaining brain cells, we tackle best-selling video game consoles, numbers, a tribute to Archer's Pam Poovey, and Leslie Neilsen movies. We also wind down by trying to match Batman plots to their respective shows. Thanks to question-submitters Tom Galindo, Nathan More, Matt Zupka, Mohamed Sharmarke, and Steven Asselman.
