Film Quiz Friday | Bobbing Along

In this week’s film quiz, only one name stands out in Marvel’s Thunderbolts – Bob! 30 movie-related questions, coming up…

---

The Marvel Cinematic Universe is now so massive that you don’t need the big title characters to make a team-up movie like Thunderbolts* (their asterisk, not ours). You can have a Black Widow (not that one), the Winter Soldier, Ghost, Taskmaster, U.S. Agent, and a new guy called Bob, played by Lewis Pullman. So, naturally, we’ve gone with a Bob-themed quiz.

“Scraping the barrel a bit, isn’t he?” First of all, shut up. Second, we’ve got quizzes about millennial movies, Disney classics, and Mission: Impossible coming up the rest of this month and then in June… well, stay tuned, you’ll see.

Once you’ve completed this week’s film quiz, you’ll find a link to a separate post with the correct answers at the bottom of this post. As always, this is just for fun, but please let us know how you did in the comments (scores out of 30 this week!) and give us any other lovely feedback. And as the great Bob Mortimer might say, “Shhh, it’s just magic.”
