Trivial Pursuit DVD: Pop Culture Edition

In my memory, Trivial Pursuit is Really, Really Difficult. Then again . . . have I even played it since I was a kid? Trivia is the sort of thing that tends to get easier as you get older (read: the more you learn), at least to an extent (and that extent would be the age where you start to forget stuff). 

Anyway, this Pop Culture version was a little easier than I remembered. It's possible this was mostly because I lucked out and got easy questions. It's also possible because of the subject matter--sadly, I probably know more about pop culture than about history. But I'm pretty sure Finn found it very difficult. It didn't help that this is definitely not a current pop culture game; I'd say it's at least ten years old, if not more like twenty, which means it's really from before Finn's time.  

But I had fun playing! (Maybe because I won?) I'm glad the whole thing wasn't on DVD, as this seems to slow down gameplay. Most of the game is from a deck of cards, and you only go to the DVD when you're on one of the spaces where you can earn a wedge. Weirdly, the DVD questions seemed easier than the card questions. At least this made it easier to earn wedges!

As with most trivia games, I feel like the best iteration of this one would be to bring the deck of cards on a long car trip.
