Before & After Movie Titles (Mini #8)

Posted on by Brian Rollins

Hey gang, let’s do a minisode! This time, I’ve combined two movie titles together that share the last or first word in their title. I’ll give you the made-up description and you sort out the merged title. I’ll give you an example: Tony Stark first dons his armor while Henry Cavil plays Superman. That would be Iron Man of Steel (which is a movie I’d totally watch).

Got a cool movie title combo I missed? Let me know on social media or Spotify. Thanks!
