Episode Introduction
Are you ready for some trivia, Bub?
With the new movie, Dark Phoenix hitting theaters this weekend, it seemed a perfect time to have an episode dedicated to everyone’s favorite mutants, the X-Men.
Hey there. I’m your host, Brian Rollins and this is the Dorky Geeky Nerdy Trivia podcast. Every week we bring you a fresh batch of thirty trivia questions. We break it down into three rounds of ten questions each.
If you’re looking for the rules, you can find some at dorkygeekynerdy.com/rules. You’re also welcome to make some up on your own. We’re not super picky.
I’d like to take a moment and do a shout out to the podcast, Jay & Miles X-Plain the X-Men. Their show served as a resource for several of the questions we have here. You can find them at xplainthexmen.com (there’s no e at the beginning). I’ll have a link as well on the show notes for this episode on dorkygeekynerdy.com.
Sharpen your claws, polish your goggles, and cinch up your spandex. The world needs saving and questions need answering.
