Nerdy Trivia: August 21, 2025

Sometimes self-care means closing 47 tabs and pretending you’ll get back to them, even though history suggests otherwise. Think of it like hitting pause on a VHS tape before the movie chews itself up. So go ahead and log off (after answering trivia) for a bit, stretch, maybe even touch grass if that’s your thing. Future you will thank you.

I don't think I'll ever understand how a movie that takes place in a 1960s Catskills setting is so '80s that it almost hurts. But a major part of the success and legacy of "Dirty Dancing" (beyond Patrick Swayze's abs and the most quotable line about corners in cinema history) is its killer soundtrack, which spent 18 weeks on top of the Billboard 200 and is one of the best-selling soundtracks of all time. Which of these songs is NOT featured in the movie "Dirty Dancing"?

Take a swing at some random trivia. When you get the answer, just hit "Random Question" to keep going!

38 years ago today, "Dirty Dancing" was released in theaters! Patrick Swayze dancing, Jerry Orbach before "Law & Order," AND (I must restate) that soundtrack? It's a perfect movie, no notes.

If you’re someone who’s worried about what kids today are missing out on from the glory days of the past, add understanding Susan Lucci’s greatness to the list. Lucci began starring as the character Erica Kane on the daytime soap opera "All My Children" in 1970, and continued in the role until 2011, and she only stopped because ABC finally canceled the show (if anyone from ABC is reading this, shame on you).
