Delayed till November of 2020, Black Widow was going to be Marvel’s big movie in 2020. Since it was on our schedule already, we’re going ahead with our episode dedicated to Natasha to help soothe those COVID-19 blues with some Black Widow trivia.

This isn’t our first Marvel episode and it certainly won’t be our last. We’ve covered Avengers, Spider-Man, X-Men, and so much more. What is your favorite Marvel show that we’ve done on Dorky Geeky Nerdy?

When you’re done with Black Widow trivia, please stop by our Facebook group or Reddit Sub and say hi to your fellow Trivia Nerds.

We also need your help with listener feedback. Down at the bottom of this page, you’ll find a two question feedback form. Take a second and fill it out. We need your help in making sure the questions are just the right level of difficult and that we have fun and engaging topics to explore.

Episode Transcript/Quiz

Episode Introduction

Ah the best laid plans of mice and men often go awry.

Hey there true believers, this is the Dorky Geeky Nerdy trivia podcast and I’m your host, Brian Rollins.

So, for the scheduled release of the Black Widow movie, we had this episode written and ready to go. But the movie has been delayed to November due to the COVID-19 outbreak. But, we’re going to stick to our schedule this time and maybe help fill that Natasha Romanov-sized hole in your heart.

As always, we’re presenting 30 questions in three rounds, each harder than the last. If you’re new here and need rules or a score sheet, visit our website, DorkyGeekyNeryd.com/rules where we’ll hook you up.

And a big thank you to my co-host and resident comic book nerd, Blaine Dowler for putting together the questions for this episode.
