Pop Quiz, Hot Shot!

***** CONTENT WARNING: THIS POST CONTAINS REFERENCES TO TR*MP AND MENTAL HEALTH STUFF *****

Y’all, I’m TIRED. Tired of our republic hanging by a thread, tired of the hate and the vitriol, tired of war, tired of pregnant people dying because they can’t access basic health care. Tired of millions of people still supporting an obviously unfit, fascist, racist rapist and convicted felon. With election day just two days away, my election anxiety is reaching a peak. Fortunately, I have an appointment with my therapist that morning. After that, I’ll proudly cast my vote for Kamala Harris.

Unfortunately, all this anxiety has made it difficult to write coherent blog posts. But what I discovered is that I can focus long enough to write a pop quiz, which mostly involves IMDb searches and copy/pasting. So, for the time being, my blog will be all pop quizzes, all the time.

This is a variation of a quiz I’ve done before (https://peanut-butter-and-julie.com/2022/08/02/pop-quiz-hot-shot-2/). I’ll provide three character names (as taken from the film’s IMDb page) and the year of release; your job is to name the movie.

HINT: All of these films were nominated for the Best Picture Oscar.
