S01.E11: FarmFork Presents Faking The Band

Filmed books and fictional bands abound this week on The Great American Pop Culture Quiz Show! The playoffs continue as returning victors Alex, Ilan, and Nick tackle trivia about what happens when a movie or TV version of a book is better than the original. Then, our contestants become armchair rock critics for our favorite fictional bands, identifying them based on clips from their music, and interviews with the band members. All this, plus a Lightning Round, determines who will venture on to the season finale championship matchup. And don't forget the at-home riddle challenge for you, the listener!
