50/50 leaves A. Ultimate Frisbee and B. Twister.

So the STQ replaced a movie trivia question with a movie producer trivia question. Quite some variety there!

A. Emily Brontë
B Jane Austen
C. Harriet Beecher Stowe
D. Emily Dickinson

PAF – Paulette

Rick decides to leave with $50K.

Bantering at the start of the show, Rick said he's a gambler, himself, as his empty bank account and debts would prove. He was going to go for it.

So "going for it" meant taking the free guess at $50K, but nothing further.

[NellyLunatic1980]

$50K: I know it's not longest cast of extras. That, I believe, belongs to either "Gandhi" or "Lawrence of Arabia". I'm between longest dance sequence or longest kiss. Let's PAF.

$50K #2: Tough luck for Rick that he got caught with another $50,000 movie WWOQ®. I never would've seen this question, but I would've guessed Scattergories for no reason whatsoever.

$100K: Ugh... should've saved my PAF for this. Switch this question and hope for a better one.

He's had a good run so far; let's hope he can keep it going.

Watching this, I guessed the right answer, but wouldn't have been willing to risk it in the Hot Seat. Since I still have all my lifelines, it's time to use one. Let's say I STQ like he did.

Joel is my age, meaning that it would have to be a game that was not around when I was young. Twister is out immediately. I can't be certain of the others so I use the 50/50 and get the right answer because of the two answers that remain.

I thought it was Emily Dickinson, but would also have used PAF because I wouldn't have been certain enough. If the PAF comes through (googling produces the result quickly) then it's on to $250K with ATA remaining.
