Trivia Freaks and Puzzle Geeks (R)
(Rebroadcast, Episode 219) Would you classify your high school self as an A/V nerd, band geek or mathlete? This week's show pays homage to them all. In the games, we'll spoil some famous films by not spoiling anything at all, teach you how to "put a Björk in it," and make an inordinate amount of cat jokes. And Paul Feig, director of Bridesmaids and The Heat, discusses why funny women should be bigger stars, and reflects on the legacy of his beloved creation, the short-lived TV series Freaks and Geeks.
