Welcome to the Over-The-Shoulder quiz! We’ve got another request this week, and it’s a good one: superheroes. It’s not an area I delve into that often, so I haven’t a clue if this quiz is gonna be any good at all, but, hopefully, it should be fun. As always, just name the film that the character or place features in.
But enough of my rambling. Here are the answers of last week’s quiz – it was a tough one, so I’m pretty impressed that 23 out of 25 answers were gotten!
ANSWERS:
- Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom
- American Psycho
- The Grand Budapest Hotel
- 22 Jump Street
- Mad Men
- Falling Down
- Wall Street (to be fair, that one was impossible)
- Ratatouille
- Pulp Fiction
- Midnight in Paris
- Tootsie
- Nashville
- Cocktail
- Goodfellas
- The Godfather
- Reservoir Dogs
- Good Omens
- Bad Times at the El Royale
- The Great Outdoors
- Lady and the Tramp (2019)
- Ferris Bueller’s Day Off
- The Blues Brothers
- Serendipity
- Big Night
- The Simpsons (One Fish, Two Fish, Blowfish, Blue Fish)
This one should be interesting to see how you do. For fans of this genre, it should be a breeze. Y’know, not to put the pressure on. Good luck!

And that’s a wrap! Last week, we had a very impressive debut performance from Experience Film, who managed to nab the win in a close run thing. This one could be even closer! The glaring hole made by Fraggle’s absence has left things blown wide open…
Good quiz! No pictures of me taking out bins though.

I promise you, I searched everywhere: “Alex taking out the bins”; “Community bin man”; “Aberfoyle garbage disposal” – but, for some unfathomable reason, Google had nothing. Nowt.

Huh. Well, I’ll have to see about that. Might be as hard as finding a team picture of the B-field Buttcoks though. Now there’s a t-shirt for any football fan’s collection.

Pics, or it didn’t happen! I think a wise person once said that. I mean, have you ever even taken out your bins before? Perhaps it’s all an elaborate lie… Perhaps, it’s all in your head…
The collector is incomplete without a Buttcok shirt. It’s the prized possession of anyone who can get their (usually very wealthy) hands on it. I suppose you saw I was banned from Dix’s for a week. Y’know, we should start a club.

Upon reflection, here’s a couple do overs and more:
12) Guardians of the Galaxy?
15) The crow, after thinking about it.
17) Is that Swamp Thing? Holy smokes, I never would have guessed that without the superhero prompt!
21) Looks like a pixar movie, so the Incredibles? but I don’t recognize that scene and since I haven’t seen the Incredibles 2, I’m going with that
And that’s draining the well dry!

Yikes, I’m not at all as knowledgeable about superheroes as I though – which is possibly a blessing – and even less well informed on the cartoon front since I’ve stopped going to animated features since probably Toy Story 99. But you have captured some fascinating images here – 15, 17 and 24. Keep up the good work.

I’m not really up on superheroes either (or cartoons …) but as no one else is, I’ll have a bash.
1. This is definitely a film with Spiderman in it! That’s all I can say for sure. I don’t think its a Tobey Maguire one. Is it The Amazing Spiderman?
2. I don’t remember this scene, but it must surely be from the 1989 Batman.
3. The Mask
4. Ooh, Liv Tyler in a wet shirt. Hmm … what was the question again? Oh, I remember, superheroes. Is it (wild guess) The Incredible Hulk? Was she in that?
5. Obviously an Ant Man film. Haven’t seen either of them, so I’ll say, er, Ant Man.
6. This is the infamous, the notorious, the series-ending Batman and Robin.
7. Think this could be the 1978 Superman.
8. Oh dear. I think this is a Marvel thing, but he doesn’t have his own movie does he? Wild, wild guess – Avengers: Endgame.
9. I think this is The Dark Knight.
10. Obviously Hellboy, I think it’s from the first one.
11. Another wild guess – Batman Mask of the Phantasm
12. Well it looks like a spaceship, so for another random guess I’ll say Guardians of the Galaxy (do they count as superheroes?)
13. Must be The Toxic Avenger
14. This is quite annoying because I think I recognise this. Is it Dr Strange?
15. The Crow?
16. No idea!
17. It’s not Swamp Thing is it?
18. Megamind?
19. Is this Guardians of the Galaxy???
20. No idea, but it looks like fun.
21. Incredibles? (don’t think it is though)
22. Looks a bit like Jennifer Lawrence. Is it Dark Phoenix?
23. Genuinely no idea
24. Oh my God, what is this? Wild, wild guess: Monsters vs Aliens
25. No idea.
Well, that went well!
