Tennessee, no guess, Platoon, A Tale of Two Cities, no guess.

Couldn't get from Joe Montana to Tony Montana, tried thinking of other quarterbacks, went with the '80s Oliver Stone movie I could name.
Have not seen any of the mentioned movies.

Clue of the Day left the "Fruit Scones" bit off. Had the right art movement, guessed the wrong name (Pop Rocks), would not have made that mistake with the full clue.

Re: Fourth Podium Poll for Monday, October 2, 2023

Hamlet , sinister, space, eye $4200 and got Final. So the question is how to handle the Daily Double, since I wouldn't have gotten it. If Dane plays and misses the DD, assuming Dane bets to shut Burt out, I win. If Dane doesn't play the Daily Double and gets his $2000 back, I can't catch him unless...

No guesses M-W. Have not seen Oppenheimer.

Forget which country I said Monday, maybe Morocco. No guess Friday.

Have not seen La boheme; I have seen Rent (on stage and the movie).
Maxwell; none of the rest of it.

Definitely not on seeing all the episodes.

goldfish (would have said koi), decline the wine, Annie Proulx (assuming I didn't butcher the pronunciation too badly, but it doesn't matter much), Jacob, left of center (no rebound needed), Billy Wilder $6600. I should have had Ryan Coogler, but even that would have only gotten me to $7800, short o...

No guesses Tuesday or Wednesday. London was my best Friday.

Never heard of City Lights, bookstore or movie, before Wednesday.
And the picture got me the right choice between Blume and Cleary, but otherwise not helpful.

Re: Fourth Podium Poll for Thursday, July 13, 2023

barstool, The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly American (saved by the rebound), reposado, creche
Also got DD3 and Final.

Without DD3, that's $5000. Even getting to play DD3, taking $3100 away from Ittai and doubling up myself, leaves me $400 behind, so no chance of winning unless betting goes weird.

Re: Fourth Podium Poll for Wednesday, July 5, 2023

fugu, wise / foolish, Dali, Unser, 1918, cosecant, if and only if, factorial.

$9600 but a FJ miss, so I could have theoretically won by betting $0 and possibly picking up a tiebreaker, but I more likely would have bet to lock out Kate.
