The purpose of this thread is to make questions like you would regular trivia, only it's things that you don't actually know the answer to but are hoping someone else does. The General Q&A thread can probably cover Marvel stuff even for movies and TV, but this is for everything else.
A question to start things off: I once saw a movie (on VHS I believe) set in a prison, where the prisoners were given the chance to do a variety show. It may or may not have been a dubbed movie. The part that stands out for me, and thus the reason I want to find the movie again is at one point one of the inmates sings, "Screw... screw you this screw... it's me and you." Does anyone know which movie this is?

1. In the 1980s run of Mighty Crusaders, someone on the team was spying on the team for the government. However the series got canceled before the spy could be revealed. Who was it?
2. There was an instance with nearly the exact same story happening with different characters. In one version Archie and friends did a birthday song for Mr. Lodge while another Beetle Bailey and friends did the same for Sarge. In both cases the recipient started sniffing and Archie/Beetle thought he was touched, but it was actually the case that the music gave him a nosebleed. I read them both in reprint form and it seems pretty clear that one is a swipe of the other. Which came first? Or was there an earlier third version? It would seem likely that the Archie story came first because of there are more stories about him being musically inclined, but comics can sometimes surprise.

RIP Ken Dryden (goalie for Montreal Canadiens, which led to him being a non-fiction author, Minister of Social Development for Canadian government)
Doing a preemptive strike: a number of US Presidents on both sides of the political spectrum are in advanced age and have the potential of passing this year. It's okay to note them here but don't dance on their graves on this particular forum, though of course it's up to you if you do so elsewhere. I don't think anyone on this forum would do so here, so I'm not addressing any one person, just playing it safe given how divisive American politics has gotten. We have to recognize that there's a good chance there are people on this forum who voted for each of the most recent US Presidents. What I will allow is people to say that x "has passed" or something fairly neutral alone those lines instead of RIP if you can't bring yourself to wish them a peaceful eternal rest. Just keep it muted.

Another borderline case: New Warriors Ashcan, reprinted in New Warriors Omnibus vol. 2, would definitely count as a Saga book if not for that fact that instead of it being narrated by someone in the real world, it's narrated by Hindsight Lad. It's also in B&W but I don't think that matters too much. Otherwise it follows the pattern of new (at the time) captions coupled with panels from comics.

| Not Marvel nor DC Mulitiverse - AI Written Profiles » Susan Foreman » 5/17/2025 7:04 pm |
Real Name: Susan Foreman (alias)
Aliases: Susan Campbell, Susan English, Arkytior (expanded media)
Identity: Secret (to Earth authorities)
Occupation: Student, Time Traveler, Former Resistance Organizer
Citizenship: Gallifreyan
Place of Birth: Gallifrey
Known Relatives: The Doctor (grandfather), unknown parents (deceased or unrevealed)
Group Affiliation: None officially; allied with the Doctor and various resistance cells
Education: Gallifreyan Academy (incomplete), Coal Hill School (London)
First Appearance: Doctor Who – “An Unearthly Child” (1963)
History:Susan Foreman was the granddaughter of the mysterious Time Lord known only as the Doctor. Born on the planet Gallifrey, Susan accompanied her grandfather when he stole a TARDIS and left their home world. Her early years traveling through time and space were formative but filled with danger, often under the shadow of the Doctor’s secrecy.
In 1963, they took residence in a London junkyard, where Susan enrolled under the name “Susan Foreman” at Coal Hill School. Her advanced intelligence and strange gaps in cultural knowledge drew the suspicion of her teachers, Barbara Wright and Ian Chesterton. Their investigation led them to the TARDIS, sparking the first televised Doctor Who adventure.
Susan traveled extensively with the Doctor during his first incarnation, witnessing alien worlds, historical conflicts, and battling threats such as the Daleks. Though brave and curious, she was still a teenager and struggled with the instability of life on the run.
Her journey with the Doctor ended during the events of “The Dalek Invasion of Earth” (1964), when the Doctor locked her out of the TARDIS after she fell in love with resistance fighter David Campbell. He believed she deserved a life of her own and left her to begin a new life rebuilding Earth alongside David in the 22nd century.
In expanded media, Susan later ma

Just a reminder of this collage. While some of the overall continuities might be a bit obscure to North American audiences (though some are very well known to Japanese audiences), most of the characters are major within their respective continuities. No minor characters nor supporting characters unless they're also superheroes.
