OK gang, we’ve got a slightly tougher minisode today. This time, we’re going to do some math problems. Don’t worry, they’ll be fun. It’s Movie Title Math like you’ve seen on Jeopardy! You’ve got to puzzle it out using the numbers in movie titles. I’ll give you a seasonal example: The number of crazy nights in an Adam Sandler movie plus the number of Christmases in a Reese Witherspoon/Vince Vaughn comedy. (pause). It’s twelve. Eight Crazy Nights plus Four Christmases.
I hope you have a great holiday and a happy new year!
