The resulting quiz introduces the Artichoke King, Fatty Bulger, and the identity reveal of a wizard called Sharky.Plus, the guys discuss getting credit for their writing, the questionable longevity of Robin Hood movies, and why Spielberg’s best work might be behind him.Thanks to ASPCA for sponsoring this episode.
