In memory of Chadwick Boseman, we wanted to make this quiz to celebrate some of his most iconic roles. Also, we wish to reiterate one of our classic positions: Cancer sucks. And we do not say that lightly.

Thanks for playing, everyone; it was a light week but maybe you all are super youngsters and heading back to school. We know that's a lie of course, so toss those weak ass excuses out the door and get up and play. New Quiz tomorrow, get on that bandwagon, it's going places!

Wakanda forever,
AL&EW&CV
