GMM 338: The Movie Setting Game

it’s time to play a game to test our knowledge of where movies are set because that’s what matters let’s talk about that good mythical morning all movies are set somewhere except for those that aren’t set anywhere and that’s usually just like a picture of something that they don’t give any context for or it’s just a stupid move nobody ever watches those okay but the question is how well do you know where movies are set I’m not talking about where they were filmed I’m talking about the actual setting within the story maybe a fictional place it may be an actual place it may be a city it may be a state I don’t know because you you have to know this stuff and we have to know this stuff can ever set for the apocalypse just to be a good human okay and I’m really setting myself up for failure because I know I’m gonna be horrible at this well we thought this would be a fun game to play because we don’t keep these details very well we’re this sort of a battle of who’s worse at this but the winner is actually going to win something we got 10 questions multiple choice questions you could play along wherever you’re at the last question is worth three points yes the eleventh question is a
