As Venom: Let There Be Carnage records pre-pandemic box-office numbers in the US, we can’t help but feel the title plays a big part in that. Instantly joining the ranks of Electric Boogaloo and The Quickening, that title has inspired us to dedicate another round to these difficult second-movie subtitles – the good, the bad, and the self-explanatory…
Once you’ve completed all 30 questions, 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. Heck, if this goes down well, hopefully we’ll be back With A Vengeance for “Sequelizer III” someday.
