Question by player geniusonwheels

Answer: Australia

The setting for all of this varied entertainment is Australia. 'The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert' is an Academy Award-winning film from 1994, which features drag queen artistes traveling around the outback of Australia in their gaudy tour bus named Priscilla.

The movie also spawned a very successful stage show. 'Blue Hills', written by Gwen Meredith, was a very long running (1949-1976) radio soap opera set in a fictional rural community. 'A Country Practice' (1981-1994) was a TV soap opera/drama series set in rural Wandin Valley (fictional) which focused on the local hospital and veterinary practice. 'They're a Weird Mob' is a 1966 movie based on the book by John O'Grady and follows the hilarious adventures of new immigrant Nino Culotta as he comes to terms with the Australian language and culture in the 1950s. George Miller's 1979 'Mad Max', is a dystopian tale of a post-apocalyptic world where violence is the every day norm.

This movie spawned several sequels and set Mel Gibson on the path to movie stardom.

Question by player MikeMaster99

Answer: Coach

Founded by a group of leather workers, the company originally produced handmade wallets. When Lillian and Miles Cahn joined the group in 1946, they brought with them the knowledge of making fine handbags, and the desire to find ways to make stronger, softer leather.

In 1961 the couple bought out the company, and hired Bonnie Cashin as a designer, not just for handbags, but also for shoes, key fobs, and a host of other products. In 2017 the company was rebranded and renamed Tapestry, Inc.

Question by player ponycargirl

Answer: Resident Evil

While "Biohazard" was the name of this Capcom series upon its original release in the 1990s, the North American version of the game would go on to be called "Resident Evil", a title that would continue through to the movie series based on the original game.

The series is one of the longest-standing in horror gaming history with new titles expanding on the conceit of the original-- a virus is let loose by a pharmaceutical company and it regenerates tissue...and changes things.

Question by player goobas

Answer: Uses 'super-vibrations' to disarm them

Yes, even though he's in his geeky alter-ego, in this story, a gang of lovely ladies (the Clark Kent Fan Club - who knew?) drag him in as a judge. Obviously the disco business was being taken very seriously, so when he spots the bomb being planted, he leaps onto stage and flings himself into a routine, using 'super-vibrations' of his steps to disarm the bombs. Sadly, I was unable to find any information as to whether he won the competition.

Question by player matho_77

Answer: Pointy-haired boss

Dilbert and his co-workers just refer to their boss as the pointy-haired boss. The boss's secretary, Carol, once canceled her boss's security clearance, forcing him to hide from security in the building's air ducts. There are also frustrating similarities between the comic strip and the movie "Office Space" (1999) about the daily tasks of engineers.
