Avid moviegoers and concert fans have at least one thing in common right now: angst. Even with some socially distanced theaters opening in Texas and a number of concerts with limited seating available, fans of live cultural events have experienced a drought of new content since shutdowns began in March.

So if you’re an avid movie or music fan looking to solidify your fandom, there’s only one good way to spend your time — proving how much smarter you are than anyone else.

Maybe you’ve seen Goodfellas 50 times and maybe you can recite every Billboard #1 single, but are you adequately educated in both music and cinema? Try your hand at our movie music quiz below:
