Really, Mere? Nobody can be cast during Movie Week without some over-the-top hook that proves they're a superfan, and you're leading with "she passed the test"?

Amazingly passing the test is not necessarily a predictor of success on the show under any circumstances. This week's movie contestants have seemed a little less knowledgeable than those from past seasons.

Question #1 - Level ?: Short Title

A: Bull Durham B: The Shawshank Redemption
