The magicians, if it is indeed Seigfried and Roy, and Rear Window. For those I had pretty much the whole history of the 2 and the plot of the movie, but not the names. I knew the Before and After, but I hadn't read the category, so I was bit confused. Ran out of time to get it down. I know I did better than last time, but not much.

As I was typing "Penn and Stiller" I knew it didn't sound quite right but couldn't think fast enough to fix it. First time taking the test and had no idea 15 seconds goes by so fast.

Don't let the crowd steer you wrong, you are actually correct.
ETA: Looks like the rest of the crowd chimed in ahead of me.
I couldn't think of their names either. I really didn't think it was S & R. I think my mind went to S & R, but thinking it couldn't be them as the guy has not really recovered from the attack. 15 seconds can go by fast when you get sidetracked with who it' s not, but what the heck is the name of who it isn't. It's a lot easier sitting on the couch, when you can know the category, and can read the clue along while listening.
I just went through and did my own little transcript, and looks like I got 27! Which is better than I have done in years past (and I felt like if I had brushed up on my history/geography and literature, I would have gotten at least 5 or 6 more...). Oh and I thought Schubert for the unfinished symphony and switched to Beethoven at the last second.
What's the correct answer for this one? "Title of the rulers of the venetian republic, the last of whom was deposed in 1797"
