Atomic Trivia War 9000

Who invented Godzilla? What was Cobra Commander’s real name? List three movies starring Pete Postlethwaite.

 

If you can answer those questions, we want to enlist YOU in the ATOMIC TRIVIA WAR 9000, a glorious fight for the very future of Earth. The war isn’t waged with guns or tanks, but with facts and figures, pop culture references, and a big dose of geekery.

 

Join Jason, Omar, Ro, Kevin, and a host of guest contestants as they battle weekly. There’s no points and no Googling, just head-to-head trivia combat.

 

This isn’t a mild seismic activity quiz challenge. This is Atomic Trivia War 9000!

 

Hosted by: Jason Hawk
