We wrote this week’s questions during last week’s heatwave and tragically, some of the movies in Round 2 melted together. That’s right – it’s time for a mashup round, just like the first one and our Valentine’s special. But again, as the nice man who’s currently shredding our correspondence told us to say, it’s not that much like the Answer Smash round from Richard Osman’s House Of Games.

But to give you some clue to what we’re talking about, we’ve come up with phoney plot synopses for the hybrid movies. For example, “Tom Cruise recovers from a devastating accident by going back to James Bond’s childhood home” would be Vanilla Skyfall. Somehow, the first and third rounds remain miraculously unaffected by the heat.

Once you’ve finished all three rounds, you’ll find a link to a separate post with the correct answers at the bottom of this post. As always, this is just for fun, but please let us know how you did in the comments (scores out of 30 this week!) and give us any other lovely feedback. Release the mashups!
