S5 E5 - Make, Model, and Much, Much More

This week, it’s a game of double meanings, because the only thing that all six answers have in common is they are also models of car. We also rev up discussions of comics, mythology, and American history. So strap in and put the pedal to the metal! 3:06: Q1 (Sports & Games): Buick’s flagship sedan shares its name with this team sport played professionally by squads including the Chesapeake Bayhawks and the Rochester Knighthawks. 12:20: Q2 (Arts & Literature): What long-running adventure comic strip, which premiered in 1936 shares its name with both its main character, a masked crime fighter based in the fictional nation of Bangalla, and with eight generations of Rolls-Royce’s premiere full-sized luxury car? 23:03: Q3 (Science): Sports coupes from the 80s and 90s sold under the Chrysler and Plymouth banners both share their name with this acronymic sci-fi staple, a technology found in real-world devices like barcode scanners, Blu-Ray players, and printers. 32:16: Q4 (Times & Places): The largest federally-recognized Native American tribe, indigenous to the Southeastern United States, but also – for historical reasons – now found in Oklahoma, shares its English name with a midsize crossover SUV from Jeep. Name the tribe. 37:26: Q5 (Everything Else): A Tom Cruise film, a Marvel character, a defunct female American football team, and most importantly, a limited production sports car from Aston Martin, share their names with this group of Norse mythological figures. 47:47: Q6 (Sounds & Screen): Also a mid-sized sedan from Hyundai, this is a type of musical work composed by Bach, Mozart, Chopin, Cage, and even John Williams, but, probably most notably, Beethoven.
