Ouch!

I thought Ronda was pretty fortunate with her stack randomization, starting with mostly low level questions worth some high level money. Then this happened. Did she conflate Marvin and Goldie into a single character?

Sorry, but I loved seeing her leave with the $1000. She seemed so sure and proud of herself for figuring out Marvin Berry was the right answer. When she locked in her final answer I enjoyed knowing what was coming. The whole week has been filled with yelling at the TV moments, so I can't wait to see what tomorrow brings.

Marvin Berry was a character in the movie...the lead singer of the group at the dance who calls his cousin Chuck Berry.

Yes, that's why I asked if she conflated the two characters, like maybe she thought Marvin worked in the soda shop when his band didn't have a gig?

Milton Baines was also a character from the movie--Marty's future uncle:

Sherman, OTOH, is Mr. Peabody's boy:

Oops, they also used Sherman Peabody as a character name in the movie. He's the farm boy whose barn Marty crashes into!

[thinking Marty is an alien]
Sherman Peabody: It's already mutated into human form. Shoot it!
Old Man Peabody: [firing shotgun at barn] Take that, you mutated son of a bitch!

I imagine that "Sherman Peabody" was a shoutout to the old Rocky & Bullwinkle show. "Marvin Berry" was the lead singer of the group that played at the Enchantment Under the Sea dance.

Look further up the thread for the rest of the story!

I saw that - but I don't recall Sherman ever having an "official" last name. One might assume it was "Peabody" because Sherman was always introduced as "this is Sherman, my boy."
